EnterTheVortex Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 There are so many aspects of this ride that I cannot wait to experience. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharleyTheDinosaur Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 They look so comfortable. Kind of reminds me of a child's car seat. Unfortunately sippy cups and little baggies of Cheerios probably won't be allowed on the ride. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnrealNightmare Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Some people who scream on some of the rides though could use a pacifier. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medford Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Punkin seats. I know B&M has a good safety history, but I wouldn't feel very safe using the trains from The Great Pumpkin Coaster on Banshee 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBEASTunchained Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Daily testing on Diamondback began on February 27th of 2009, if I'm not mistaken. (It wasn't until March, that all 3 trains were testing daily) There's a possibility that Banshee could also be testing before March. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill_Biscuit Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 The current view from the Banshee cam of the ride from the tower looks like a Van Gogh painting of the ride. Could you speak up a little? I know, right? When it's not affected by weather, sometimes it looks like an eerie painting either by Van Gogh as you mentioned, or by my favorite artist, MC Escher. I wonder if someone has captured a few frames of the weather building up on the webcam... would make an interesting time lapse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but if memory servers me correct, I thought all 3 trains were in the DB shed before they ever started testing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengals fan Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 These black seats will not show the dirt like DB seats do. Those red seats look very dirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI FANATIC 37 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 On the subject of DB's seats, what is the black stuff on some of the headrests? It looks almost like spray paint. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticsTimber Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I've been wondering the same thing. Except I'm pretty sure it's not spray paint. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevariouseffect Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Bodily fluids, dirt, bugs, and being worn out from wear and use See TTD, Corkscrew, or any other ride with an exposed restraint system 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharleyTheDinosaur Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Bodily fluids, dirt, bugs, and being worn out from wear and use See TTD, Corkscrew, or any other ride with an exposed restraint system I assumed that but I really didn't want to know. Dirt, bugs, and wear I'm ok with. Bodily fluids is when I grab the Purell. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Existential Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Instead of the the family dryer...KI could make some money off a family 'purger'. It could spray some sort of disinfectent on ones family just outside the gates of the coaster. Or for double bucks...every ride. Sell a Fast Pass 'Prime', and its included.

TheCrypt Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Regarding the Diamondback seats: I don't think it's any sort of dirt because the marks are never washed off, even when the trains are hosed down after a protein spill or just daily routine maintenance. It is also just too coincidental to find the marks in the same place on every seat to believe it's dirt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnofthedead Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I always thought it looked like mold. I assumed it wasnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adventuro Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I'm not completely sure but I don't know if there's any way to paint that material. They may just have to replace the seats, which in that case won't be for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Existential Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Wear a hair net folks...and some rubber gloves. Personally, I find it best for my 'vehicle' to suck up the germs and retaliate. No flu shots. No Purcell. Let me adapt. Just other shots. Nudge, nudge. Give it your all World Health Org. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
