Nick_Plummer Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I don't know why they would bother to move or cover the camera when redoing Action Zone in 2014 when they didn't bother to move or cover the camera when redoing Rivertown in 2009. But maybe that's just me; I also didn't see any conspiracy in the new Banshee camera being covered by Haunt decorations when the wind blew. That's because most everyone knew that is was just the Haunt decorations blowing. Plus I don't think they'd intentionally cover that cam unless they were retheming the back of Banshee or something that would never happen. You saw how they so cleverly covered up Action Zone on the new map. Maybe they will just do little things until Banshee is finished, then do the cool stuff to AZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBEASTunchained Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I'd like to send a big Thank You out to Don and the Kings Island team, for providing so many updates and photos throughout the construction of Banshee. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upstop Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I've been looking at the station renderings, but I cannot tell where the ADA ramp or elevator might end up being located. I'm certain there will be one or the other somewhere in the structure. Anyone have any ideas? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adventuro Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Yes. In the official renderings from the station designer site it is located next to the exit stairs, on the side closest to the back of the ride. It will be an elevator similar to what most CP rides have 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstop Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Thank you! I didn't see them in the KI website version. I figured it would be an elevator or maybe one of those elevator trays that rise up a staircase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Mod Edit: Please link to photos provided within social media by the park. Do not post them directly in the forum. Thanks! Is this a request from the park? It's nice to be able to see media that the park shares via mass communication without having to visit individual Instagram pages, for instance, in order to see them. Including context, such as a low-resolution image or a brief summary of text, often makes conversation easier to follow. If Kings Island wishes that we only link to their social media pages, it's certainly within their rights to ask this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCrypt Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Are we able to post their picture and a link right beneath rather than a "courtesy of Kings Island" tag or is it a strict link only? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 The park has asked we link to its pictures, and not repost them here. The viewer here should have to go to a linked Kings Island source to view park photography. Put another way, they have requested that we not embed their photography here. Apparently, intellectual property like photography, trademarked ride names, etc., is important to the park. There are reasons we do what we do here. Yesterday, that was mocked by some. Today, there are consequences. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like there has been much more importance on getting names, capitalizations, copyrights, etc correct over the past few weeks or months. And I'm really curious as to why... I've always been curious and nosy about things that don't pertain to me 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamondback FOF Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I'm not referring to the park requesting that only links be provided to their media. I mean everything...from Coke to Banshee to just everything having to be referred to properly. I understand why it's important. It just seems to me of much more importance as of late 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
born_to_ride_1993 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 The parks want to get the credit for the photos as well as the social media traffic. They want to gain followers, likes, and other social media activity. Which makes sense, that is why the photos are taken in the first place. Lets just respect the park as they do so much for us. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 And, I can't do this by myself. We tried to keep this low key. That didn't work when several users yesterday decided this was of no importance to them. We need your help. When you see that a park ride name is not capitalized, or a photo from the park is embedded here instead of only a link, or a registered trademark, especially of a park sponsor, is not capitalized, please point it out to the user. Here. Not a PM. Don't report it. That's what we need. And repeat offenders, like a couple yesterday, won't be here any more, like a couple yesterday. You are right. I shouldn't have to do this all the time. Or alone. A good park relationship is important to us. April 17 seems to be important to many of you. Let's not lose it, or KIC, to something so easy for us and so important to parks and companies. I'd like to never post about this again. With your help, perhaps I won't have to. Quick examples: Beast ... not beast Coke ... not Coke Link to KI photo .... Not KI photo posted with or without link and credit Kings Island ... not Kings Island Six Flags ... not six flags Don Helbig ... not don Helbig Thanks for your help! We can do this...together. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevariouseffect Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Is Don a trademark or copyright? Now I can understand if they want the links, that's fine I can see why no issues. My question is, is there a way for us to have media posted here, even if by Don, like other pages have. See CP Rundown's page yesterday with a picture of the station, ect. My biggest thing about posting images, ect. here is almost 3/4 of my day I'm on a .mil network and I don't have access to certain websites, such as instagram, ect. I'd love to discuss things here and see them as I spend my time on here doing that already. So moving forward for now, links, yes, understandable. However, can we reach an agreement to post KI related material ILO links? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sikkinixx99 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I would also like to give big shout out and thanks to Don Helbig and Kings Island for the pictures and cameras to watch this Beautiful ride come to life!! Very much appreciated a whole new experience for me!! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwainw Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 ^^Does this apply to webcam captures and construction progress renderings as well? On a different track, at the rate the construction crew moved yesterday, I can't imagine they won't complete the course today. They already have the first support up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adventuro Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Why are people so against using capitalization. It's not a big deal and there is no point arguing. In other news... The park is consistently gaining likes on FB. Over 100 thousand in a year! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sikkinixx99 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I know it was posted above that another support was put up. Has anyone seen on the feed if they have lifted the next track piece yet? Thanks Never mind I can see it now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Existential Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 One doesn't think that they could be putting a fountain where the Action Zone compass was? It looks as though it has been dug INTO. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adventuro Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 If they put a fountain they would probably make it smaller than the circle was. It would be too big otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 The reason it looks dug into, is that they are removing the concrete paving. That is typically 4-5" in thickness. They may also be removing the subsurface that the concrete sat on (typically gravel), in order to prepare for the new pavement, whatever that may be. And the webcam is so far away, that one cannot tell how deep they are digging anyway. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
