jcgoble3 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I think in past years (May be wrong) They stored Congo Falls Boats in the Entrance Building. Not sure though. In December 2011 they were stored in the Picnic Grove: 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In December 2011 they were stored in the Picnic Grove: I just think I saw From an Trip Report that they were stored in the Entrance area. Still not sure. Trying to find it.

Colonel_SoB_fan Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I kinda hope not, for that place. I would rather not continuously see flashing that close to the midway. I think somewhere between the zero G roll exit and the bottom after the 2nd loop would be better. If this were RCT2 Vortex camera is right next to the midway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think somewhere between the zero G roll exit and the bottom after the 2nd loop would be better. If this were RCT2 Vortex camera is right next to the midway But it's also below and hidden from the midway, which means that people on the midway generally don't notice it during the day. Even at night, when the flash lights up the track, it doesn't get annoying because you're only seeing what gets lit up, not the light itself. Banshee doesn't have the benefit of being below the midway like that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think somewhere between the zero G roll exit and the bottom after the 2nd loop would be better. If this were RCT2 I wouldn't mind it after the Batwing I think in the middle of the Batwing would be a good spot. Fastest point of the ride I believe. Of course if they are going to have fog effects anywhere on the ride, and the Batwing is one spot that would have them, it could affect where they put the camera. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I want to see a camera in the midst of an inversion. Though mounting that may present a challenge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calakapepe Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Though, tackiness would be more of a problem lol.Just some random arms protruding out from the 180* mark of an inversion? lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I saw a picture from last offseason that they were storing a boatload of trashcans under International Restaurant... You may have. Here's a shot of them from two offseasons ago (taken the same day as the one of the Congo Falls boat above): Also in the Rivertown train station: There's much more from that day here. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Looks like USA Today finally got things right. It now says 4,124 feet. It would be nice for them to verify things before publishing the articles though. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 with Tapatalk 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Did they remove the circle in Action Zone? I can't tell if it's just covered up by dirt or if they removed it? Sorry if this has been discussed before. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoraX Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 It appears it was dug up. I know some are happy, I kinda liked it. It fit the theme of Action Zone. I think it would distract from a possible change of themes. It just makes me that much more excited about the 2014 season.

sikkinixx99 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 They plan on loading unloading in the same area on Banshee? Probably just me but the picture inside the station just doesn't look that big at least to me. Also anyone heard anything about the arrival of the trains? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill_Biscuit Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 At least they didn't say it was 1,412 feet tall. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course if they are going to have fog effects anywhere on the ride, and the Batwing is one spot that would have them, it could affect where they put the camera. Once I saw a coaster somewhere in china that had a little guy that took the ride picture, ran back to the photo booth, and had it developed before the people got off the ride, and then ran all the way back to take the next picture. He must have been really tired by the end of the day! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adventuro Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 The station is much larger than you think- It's all about perspective. Yes its not the size of Diamondbacks station.. but I would say it was comparable to Invertigo's maybe bigger. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
