Starting to Decode 2014
Name: Screamin' Beast-Bat Cobra Banshee Type: Suspended Stand-Up Bi-Directional Terrain Hugger Speed: As fast as it can go Highest Hill: Way up there! Ride Time: Whenever you get there! I think I covered it all except for the color green, something about owls, donkeys, scarecrows, a guy named Don, and wing riders (wing riders are found on older airplanes at air shows). I will be very happy!

That's Gatekeeper! Boy, it's cOLD in here, isn't it? Sorry, that was said a few pages ago, I was referring more to the numerical stats. Sorry, but I don't have time to be reading the same old garbage day after day, so I skip to the last page - and I guess, for once, I actually missed something. How about that! Maybe Don will get an extra chuckle from this too!You don't think something that obvious wouldn't have been brought up within the past few hours? Hey - I still can't get the green Intamin track out of my head!

"Sit tight" could mean no big boy seats. And the mice look for the silent signal of the moon's green cheese. Bats, owls - scarecrows - graveyards - Irish epitaphs.....could be anything, you know!

In times past, "record holders" never seemed to last all that long (Top Thrill Dragster/Kinga Ka etc.), but then, of course, with King's Island, we have The Beast and we had Son of Beast, The Bat, King Cobra, and all the others that are/were record holders of some kind for a longer period of time. So, her is Project 2014. A record breaking attraction. Whatever it is, let us hope that it won't be "one-up'd" the following year by an extra foot or two of height, an extra foot or two of length, an extra mph or two of speed, or an extra inversion just to upset everyone at King's Island. Just one more thing I wish to add before I sit back in my easy chair..... If those are the "final" blueprints, why have they been preparing all that extra land beyond the borders of the drawings? More graveyards?

I just saw a picture on KI that showed the front of the tombstones - names were Stengle, O'Connor (I think) - and then the picture was taken away. Did anyone else see it?

If you all want so many inversions, go find a gym and do some somersaults. YOU ARE GOING TO DRIVE YOURSELVES CRAZY trying to "decode" - if that is even the proper word for it - what this attraction is to be. Relax and enjoy - there is life going on around you during this time!

Nothing has been released saying what "it" is yet, so when others say "it" won't be "this" or "that" "they" don't know. It's a wait-and-see thing. Patience is a virtue!

Just a thought - if it IS a record-breaking bathroom, it could be called Big John.......blue supports, red seats!

Intamin or B&M
King's Island Construction is my favorite builder - built The Beast, you know!

Cedar Point 2014
I bet they're gonna drop a tape measure from the top of the Magnum;s first hill to see if it's sinking or not - and they need several people to help hold that long tape and then verify the results. I would also imagine several news crews could be present since this has been a big topic for so many years - almost as long as the Jimmy Hoffa disappearance!

Well, if you look around certain rides, you find left-over things from rides of the past.......

A Change to the TOS needed?
I would go straight to number three on the first illegal offense. Sorry - but it is a crime, not just some parking ticket.

An Interesting Time on KICentral
Dane, even though I don't know you, and have never met you - thank you for all you do. Hope to see you soon!

Wait a minute - had to look twice - when you said scream like a Banshee and I saw the picture, I thought of Michael Bolton!

Were they green?

IF - and that's that's a BIG if - there were some pipe pieces on a flatbed, they could be for the campground crapper drains. Heck, even scarecrows and owls have to "go" too!
