CoastersRZ Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I have heard from a interview from don! -The entrance will be right by the bathroom in Az - steel should arrive this week! - should be done by end of February -4th row on each train will be for accommodate bigger guest I don`t think the entrance will be right by the restroom, based on the plans that were posted last week. Looks more like the entrance will be closer to where the graveyard display is currently set up. Glad to see ride pieces finally on site! I`m really excited to see this thing start to get built! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuskin Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Before you know it, Terpy will be here talking about how he loves cranes. He wants to live in cranes. If it was socially acceptable he would drape himself in cranes. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedevariouseffect Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Also just looking back, this thing is ganna stick out so well in the park, looking through pics here and there, look at the blue supports. They just stick out like a sore thumb in the pic, this ride is ganna look good. Another small update, lack of rides & stuff in the video means nothing. Eiffel Tower didn't have elevators in the video, guess that means no more observation tower 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zayzayd13 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Dear Banshee, Please allow your ghostly wails to draw people away from Diamondback next year. It will be much appreciated! (I know its not going to happen). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My second favorite Arrow looper comes out over the midway.And I'm not talking about the obvious one. The one I'm referring to is blue, but it's also yellow and orange too. EDIT: you meant "stick out" as in, be noticeable I suppose. Oh well. The one I'm regerring to sticks out by both definitions, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventureExpress35 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I know they are going to call it a batwing, but its really a Norwegian Loop. A Dive loop into an immelman. But if I was in marketing, I'd probably call it a batwing too. lol Is it inaccurate to call it a pretzel? I know it's not the same as the pretzel on, say, tatsu, but it looks similar to me at least in shape. It looks nothing like Montu's batwing or the one on Vortex IMHO.

AdventureExpress35 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Also the colors in that pic look WAY better than the offride/ birds eye vids. Much less pink than expected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks nothing like Montu's batwing or the one on Vortex IMHO.When I saw the presentation video, my first thought was "look! A pretzel!" It is what it is, and let's be honest, 90% of the riders are going to refer to it as "the pretzel".I feel it's redundant for me, with this avatar, to say I like the colors, but I do. I'm really hoping all of AZ takes on this fantasy theme. Thanks to the people that are posting pics- I'm joining in the fray via your eyes and cameras. I know when the cranes will be landing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adventuro Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Actually from my experience 90% of riders are going to refer to it as "that part where you go like this and then like this" 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using Pretzel Knot and so far no one that I have seen has jumped aboard. (Because of the exit and entry paths crossing over one another but the track actually twisting..unlike a pretzel loop; pretzel knot has been used on a coaster before.) But if you join today I can promise you free water at any Kings Island drink vendor! I can promise the water even if you don't join.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
