steveinphoenix Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 its really difficult to tell what was done from the angle of the cam. The zero g roll in front of the work area and the 2nd vertical loop behind it make it confusing to say the least 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamonbackandbeastlover Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Sorry I'm late to this but I'm hoping if they add a tunnel the Banshee scream plays in there 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sikkinixx99 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Would love a tunnel as I said before it would make this great ride even more unique!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanofFirehawk Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 To be honest I wouldn't care for a surprise tunnel like has been discussed above and back. If we had an underground tunnel in with the track fully dove into some sort of hole or cave that would be cool. But really if we get anything it'll be some ugly metal tube sticking out like a sore thumb in front such an amazing sight. A ditch would be more excepible but I would really just prefer to fly over an celtic graveyard if you don't mind rather than through two walls of concrete(well I guess not through, but between.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APE Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 It's a little easier to see what's going on now. I can clearly see where the track is leading to and the support they just put up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KingsIslandPR Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 There are no plans to add tunnels to the ride. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Existential Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Wouldn't detract or add in my opinion. Looks fantastic without any. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coasterama Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Ok, I believe this is a keyboard code! @ = the number 2 on the keyboard. If you go 2 letters into the alphabet that would make @ stand for the letter "B" so.... @ = 2 which = "B", ! = 1 which = "A", !$ = 14 which = "N", !( = 19 which = "S" , * = 8 which = "H", % = 5 which = "E" and % =5 which = "E" This "code" spells out the name Banshee. Hmm...this name was going to be given to Mantis when it first opened but was not used due to people complaining about it being offensive. Is the name making a reappearance? I think so! - Connor Saturday, July 14, 2012 at 12:31 PM -I discovered this while just browsing the On Point Blog for Gatekeeper teasers. Very interesting.

steveinphoenix Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 OK, you lost me on that one. WOW, the footer of that carousel has 6 of those big blue tube supports all crammed into one rectangular footer. That's a tight fit. Wish we had a closer pic of that.
