I've heard everything now! I heard a rumor that KI and KBF will switch WindSeekers due to KI's being more functional. I think this is a ton of bologna, but is this even possible or legitimate?

Gold is malleable and creates friction which is used on the chaindogs to prevent:

Here is what I think it will look like: http://youtu.be/UTQLDDhk7z4
In other worlds, will The Beast be RMC'ed?

I never knew how accurate the animation was. WindSeeker is at a standstill at the top in the beginning, and by the end, it hasn't moved one bit!

When retheming it to The Bat, they should have Vekoma remove the banking, in order to give the "Bat" experience.

Here's what they will do.
1. Build a ride similar to Divertigo by Banshee
2. Send Congo Falls to Knotts
3. Send Invertigo to VF or KD
4. Build a small spinning coaster or Eurofighter in the void left by the two rides

I don't know why that guy hates The Beast so much, it's a great ride and when you say its not thrilling, then you're just being bias.
I think The Beast is so often seen in the media these days, that one knows what to expect while riding. It's not thrilling when you know there is a second chain lift and a helix finale. Don't get me wrong, I love The Beast, but I've seen many kids under the height limit telling people what to expect on the ride.

Banshee Twist?! They get purple ice cream??
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
It's blue ice cream with 10x the food dye twisted with pink vanilla ice cream with an equal amount of dye... Can't imagine what this stuff does to our insides...
Look at the ground next time you are around an Ice cream stand. That's what it does to your insides!
Freaked my babysitter out one time because I gave my daughter a blue cone before we left the park and the next day, lets just say it doesn't come out the same color as it went in.
Neither did riders on the Son of Beast!

Son of Beast Lives! JK!
I got to KI VERY early and rode Diamondack first thing. Right as the park opened we went straight to Son of Beast and got to ride it 2-3 times without line at all. By 11am the line wasn't too bad (maybe 15) but at it's busiest part of the day the line got around 45 minutes if I remember right. I ended up getting five rides on Diamondback that day.What was Son of Beast's line like on opening day of 09?

Doesn't look like one will be against the harness.- 3

They don't need statistics to prove that this is a Cedar Point caliber ride.We did not mention all the statistics during the announcement because statistics are not what make a roller coaster great; it's the ride experience it delivers that makes it great.

Firehawk with a military theme.
1. Tomb Raider was a Paramount installation and Cedar Fair had nothing to do with how it was kept up until 2007.If the completed attraction would only be half as cool as the teaser video or the announcement then we would really have something. I have NO faith that there will be any compelling theming or "mood" to this ride. I really don't even know why we are worrying about a theme or a name when we have seen how Cedar Fair does not deliver on any theming (Tomb Raider anyone?) I think we should just call it "That new big purple ride" since that is what it will really be. If the Action Zone was going to be reimagined into something I think we wouldnt see the ride flying over a concrete landing pad (with no water tower) as we see in the video. If there were anywhere near the trees and foliage seen in the video the ride would have a chance at a "theme" but since they seem to clear cut any ride path, I dont see that happening either. I am not impressed at all with Cedar Fair's attempts at thumbing (Diamondback Que line) and think we should just give up on any themed areas, themed rides or themed names and just have a park full of random rides since that seems to be what they are going for anyway.
2. Diamondback never had a promised--or even suggested--theme. Banshee does.
3. Everything you just said was under Dick Kinzel, Bland Rides Extraordinaire. Cedar Fair is under new management and we have yet to see what he can truly do.
4. Trees can be planted around rides in case you didn't know.

Was this coaster born off of the long rumored Valleyfair! invert? I know that when VF went on the selling market, plans were put on hold. Is this one of the group package of inverts at DP, KBF, WoF?
-
The stroller. JK.
Invertigo, SLC experience plus bad reputation.

At CP, they gave me more than $1 worth of icecream at the funnel cake stand by MF.

Close to 8pm? That must have been mine. Row 4, right seat, on green train. After the first drop my restraint went up a click right when the airtime started. First time in a while my hands went down on this ride. I was a little freaked out. I immediately grabbed a ride op and filled out one of their sheets.
I think it always has a loosening ability, but props to KI for double checking.

Is there going to be a shop and photo stall built for the ride, or are they converting the restrooms?

Banshee should get the motto " Bat outta hell"! Just to complete continuity.

And OnLocation becomes Ghoulish Goodies?Overall I think the ride has a chance of being among the best. I would very pleased if they continued the theme into the rest of Action Zone. Well change the name to something like Legend Village. Alter the facade of The Bats station to something gothic with 3d bat head trains. Then in 2015 a legend of the Gargoyle could arise by replacing Drop Towers carriage with the upcoming Falcons Fury style. Call it Gargoyle or NightDivers. Delirium becomes a TimeTwister. Can't decide for Invertigo and Congo. I think if done right that area could become somewhat mystical. I wouldn't expect this all by 2014 or 15 for that matter.
Btw, goodbye decoding thread and hello Miss Ohio 2014 Banshee

Just waiting for the locals to find the definition of Banshee, and demand the ride to be named Mantis. Oh bugger.

Mindblown should have been the name!

Yes it could. The Shooting Star had a powerful -2g airtime hill following a 3.5g pullout! That is more intense then what The Beast could ever wish to be!
