Kings Island Announces The World's Longest Inverted Coaster for 2014!
Uhhhh, yeah it is.

Cedar Point will be announcing a new attraction for 2014 as well
After what Kings Island did for Banshee, this is such a boring attempt at "teasing."

^And eat they did! ...outside the park, either from their own packed coolers or nearby restaurants....

That leads me to a photo. Nope, that's the direct link to the webcam.

If you owned Kings Island
For 2018 I'd built a 350' Intamin giga coaster over Banshee and call it "Wife of Beast" and in the queue line play this beautiful song on repeat: On a more serious note, I'd probably spend a few years to re-theme AZ to a medieval theme. Put in a new themed sit-down restaurant, new dark ride, and a flat (Mondial Splash-Over called Trebuchet?).

Worst roller coaster you've ever ridden.
Glad I'm not alone in considering GateSleeper boring. I haven't ridden it, but I don't get how it's boring. I know a POV doesn't convey how thrilling it is, but there's a 164ft drop with 6 inversions at speeds close to 70mph, while hanging off the sides of the track. It's really disappointing that such a good sounding idea doesn't work out as well as planned. You can make any concept boring when you engineer the trains to traverse the excessively drawn-out elements slower than molasses travelling uphill in January.

So can I park my car in somebody's driveway and snoop around in their front garden if there's no fence or gate around it?

You mean like Flight Deck? Or Whitewater Canyon? I think that's a bit different since the rides are so far removed from the park in the first place.

It would seem unnecessarily complicated and counterintuitive to have the queue entrance so far from the station.

If this coaster doesn't have the wonderful B&M "pre-drop" I am soooo gonna angrily shake my fist in the general direction of Kings Island.

The more concrete they pour towards Slingshot the more confused I become.

If you google gforcify, you'll get similar results for many other Cedar Fair parks.

Apparently still on a bumpy road. Am I being confused with Vortex lover? D: Oh dear... Well shut my mouth. Ooooops.....sorry. That's okay, I only cried a little.

Were the seat belts being used on Exterminator? I remember the ride ops instructing us not to buckle them.
