secondson Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 LOL! I wasn't really trying to get you. I was just being stubborn. I actually like The Bat, too. Would make for an awesome resurrection of that name. I rode The Bat one time....only one time...and it hurt. The next day my muscles were killing me, so I went to the doctor and told him I'd ridden The Bat. He told me "Maybe it's better to not ride the Batman anymore". LOL! So much for him actually hearing what I said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSaturdayNite Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I keep reading the word "FUN"...which, as someone pointed out to me earlier, is Cedar Fair's initials on the NYSE. I also keep seeing "diversion". The stock market is known for going up and down, like a rollercoaster. Sometimes it even dives really low. So I'm guessing this coaster will obviously go up and down, but could also dive really low at points. Perhaps it will dive into an underground tunnel...or the "underworld". "Everything old is new again". Could it be that we're getting an old name for a new coaster? Will this maybe be a return of the King Cobra name, or The Bat, only resurrected into a bigger and more powerful version of its former self? Isn't a Banshee a Screaming Demon? No, not really. A Banshee is simply a legendary female spirit that wails when someone is about to die. It doesn't necessarily imply the spirit is a demon. Well, ghost, spirit, and demon are regularly used interchangeably. Or at least they are in the haunt stories put out by the Warrens. Perhaps I've been listening to too much of those.

That actually makes a very good point.....I hadn't thought about it that way yet........ On a side note, I just left Kings Island and witnessed it for myself.....

Well, ghost, spirit, and demon are regularly used interchangeably. Or at least they are in the haunt stories put out by the Warrens. Perhaps I've been listening to too much of those. I never really think of those as being interchangeable. To me, a demon holds the explicit connotation of being evil, whereas a ghost or spirit doesn't always. If you're a Christian, you know that there are good spirits and evil spirits. The Banshee can appear old and decrepit, or beautiful, and is simply associated with a female spirit or "fairy" that announces an impending death. With everything that has popped up the last couple of days that could have us wondering and wandering, I think people are looking too far into the saying "the old is new." Right to me all the things said that are easily picked up on are the "diversions". Maybe we're also reading too much into "Snickers" and "diversions".

kblanken Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 The Bat --- B&M Invert. I think you might be onto something. What would Six Flags think of Kings Island calling their B&M invert something so similar to Batman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTD-120-420 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Is anyone else impressed at how secretive KI is being with this project? Of course, all high profile projects come with a heightened level of secrecy, but I've noticed that they REALLY aren't letting anything slip this time around. I'm not saying this is anything of grand importance, but I do believe it could be a clue to the scope of this attraction. If the park is putting more emphasis on confidentiality, is that not a sign that whatever is coming could be above the average addition? The unfortunate truth is, only time will tell. In the meantime, I suppose Don's intriguing tweets and scarecrows are all we have to work with. Oddly enough, I kinda enjoy the suspense. Remember that Gatekeeper was leaked a few days before the announcement. Pictures of the whole layout pretty much. And even before that, Gatekeeper was released by the Sandusky Register.

The Interpreter Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 In the last days of Sir Kinzel, the Sandusky Register actually showed a little backbone. It's amazing what a little Q and Raynor can do. See how quiet Q and Raynor have been lately? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secondson Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Thanks for sharing what...my preference for Hershey's Special Dark instead of Snickers or Dove? Sometimes an apple is just an apple. Not trying to drop any hints, not making any suggestion about coaster manufacturer...honestly. For one thing, I don't have the foggiest clue what this new coaster is. I'm just making silly small talk. It's a diversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Hershey Special Dark DOES come with almonds. I buy them at least once a week at work, though I prefer Payday (also a Hershey product) or Milky Way (M&M Mars). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
