RollerColt Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Announcing at 10PM, and by then the moon will have set. The sky should be really dark, and set up the perfect scene for a paranormal themed ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTheaterKiss Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 The silver comb is definitely a nod to Banshee. Interesting. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevariouseffect Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Well...world record breaking could mean, hey this is record breaking... However knowing Cedar Fair, world record breaking could be like Gatekeeper, tallest, fastest, and longest wing rider ever...Not like, hey tallest coaster ever, fastest, most inversions, ect...kinda...second class records But we shall see...lots of speculating over the next week now I'm sure, hopefully some decoding will finally be solved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharleyTheDinosaur Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I'm glad that it is "world record breaking". I was worried they were going to pull something where they said it was the fastest, tallest, most inversions etc. in the Midwest or something like that. Ain't nobody got time fo dat. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwainw Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Since it is for a world record breaking coaster, am I wrong to get my hopes up? Maybe so. They announced they are announcing a 'record breaking attraction'. With all the drainage work, they could be announcing the world's fastest flushing toilets. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungStud Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 http://masonbuzz.com/2013/07/31/kings-island-to-announce-world-record-breaking-attraction/ Article says the park tore down the 10million Son of Beast for this attraction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollerColt Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Why a silver comb?? Doesn't make sense In some Irish legends, a Banshee is a beautiful woman holding a silver comb. It could mean something, or nothing though. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterFreak45 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I like the gray hair they have put in the comb, I would love to meet the person who designs these things, very clever! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondback FOF Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 206 feet tall. 195 foot drop. 7 inversions. And will feature stadium style/staggered seating, similar to Diamondback. *there may or may not (with the latter likely being true) be any truth contained in this post.

supertrooper Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 In some accounts she is seen combing her hair as she laments. She is heard more often than seen, wailing as she approaches the abode in the late evening or early morning, sometimes perching on the windowsill two to three hours or even days before a death. As she moves off into the darkness witnesses describe a fluttering sound, such as the sound made by birds flying at night. Hence, the mistaken belief that Banshees manifest as birds such as the crow. The inaccurate association with crows is probably due to confusion of the Banshee with the primitive Celtic goddess Badb, the goddess of war who appeared frequently in the form of a crow. Banshees also wail around natural forms such as trees, rivers, and stones. Wedge shaped rocks known as "Banshee's chairs" are found in Waterford, Monaghan and Carlow. Although there have been reports of Banshees accompanying Irish families who emigrated to the Americas, it appears the Banshee more often grieves for an emigrant at the ancestral family seat in Ireland. Stories are told of the misfortune visited upon men who interfered with the Banshee by taking her comb or challenging her. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTheaterKiss Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Banshee's may be seen as women with long silver hair who is using a gold or silver comb, and many legends state that destroying the silver comb will destroy the Banshee.

Zayzayd13 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Its supposedly the most anticipated announcement in the park's history, and now with the silver comb with the strands of hairs, it may be safe to say that the ride name is Indeed Banshee. I am standing firm on the support color (blue) wouldn't it be kind of cool if the track was a silver color like Afterburn @ Carowinds? Just a thought. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungStud Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 but what record breaker besides an invert. The tallest fastest flyer would be a easier record. Don't know why they would do that. most inversions on a floorless. Or the only b&m 4d. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sethdawg17 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I think a silver (track) and blue (supports) color scheme would be very interesting! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zayzayd13 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Do you think that they will put up a teaser on the website like they did for Diamondback and Prowler @WOF? Or will they do what they did for the Goldstriker and Gatekeeper and just make the announcement without having a countdown on the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
