  1. I think if Kings Island ever added one of these outside of DA it would have to be small upcharge for capacity reasons.

    What would you think of them using some of the area around DA that isn't being used currently for a ride like this? Add it into the ticket cost of the exhibit. It would make the area have a longer lasting memory to those who go, and make people want to stay in the area longer if they have a chance to ride a ride while there too.

    Maybe i'm overthinking it.

  2. Geez I miss being a kid! I loved that ride.

    Don't have to be a kid to ride it! Check out my Avatar haha.
    Haha I know. I do still ride it. I just liked it better when it was Scooby Doo.

    Totally agree. I wish they would get new guns in it. The ones they have right now are starting to go bad. I always try to get a new high score or to beat my friends every visit. We usually ride it 2-3 times a visit, especially on the more dead days. It would be neat to see a full on revamp of it with new guns, themes, and such. Might be asking too much though.

  3. Are they actually working today? I LOVE IT it if they are......tired of virtually EVERYTHING being closed or just stopping all together on sundays.

    Sunday is a religious holiday for many, and normally requires premium compensation for construction workers.

    Also, avoid Chick-Fil-A on Sundays.

    But Sunday is usually the prime day that I want Chick-Fil-A :blink:

  4. I am still one of the people that doesn't like the change of the name, but I have to say that the ride is looking good with its new facelift so far. I would like to see modification to the cars, or even themed Bat Shaped cars to go along with it. Maybe bring back some theming underneath the loading station, kind of a cave feel. It might change my thoughts on the switch to The Bat.

    But in my heart it will always be Top Gun haha.

  5. The best 3 ride crews that I experienced this summer were as follows:

    1. Gemini (CP) - We went on the birthday of the ride opening and the crew was active and fun the entire time!

    2. Gatekeeper (CP) - Always fun people working this ride. We saw about 3 different combinations of people for the day and they were all nice and pleasant.

    3. Diamondback (KI) - Went during a power hour, and the pace that the employees were going was awesome while still being super enthusiastic and interactive.

  6. I think Gatekeepers problems are solely based on size differences of patrons, which is obvious.

    I like the idea of the restraints, but personally I had an issue with them hurting my collar bone. With that being said, I trust that B&M is woking on the issue before Banshee's cars ship.

    As for the "fat row", I had a pretty hard time getting on Wicked Twister at CP, yet I fit comfortably on every ride other than it at the park. I am a huskier guy, 5'11 235lbs. I know its the seat design/train design, but at the same time, the placement of the buckle on that ride is terrible. I got my 2 clicks comfortably, but couldn't get the buckle, so I ended up stapling myself. Just had to throw this in since it was discussed.

  7. As you can see in my avatar, I do like Boo Blaster, mainly as a contest between friends than anything. I would've loved to see a more traditional dark ride, like Phantom Theater go in when the CF changeover occurred, but I could've taken it either way.

    Phantom Theater definitely had a certain charm to it that I really loved. I am happy to see that various props are used throughout the Haunt though.

  8. Wow, Oldiesmann, great pictures! I didn't realize that many other track pieces had arrived. I'm really looking forward to track placement. I would love if it could be topped out by the final weekend of haunt. More would be great. I just want the fantastic photo ops.

    I had the same reaction to the pictures. I knew at least 3 had shown up, but I counted what looked like 6 so far.

  9. BeastFoverver, I love your Banshee "ride count"

    Just saw that. I'm about at 15 POVs during the day and 10 at night.

    As far as Invertigo goes, i'm not a huge fan myself. Its not that its a bad ride, but I think its played out. Boomerangs are definitely fun to ride, but after a while it gets kind of boring.

    I would love to see something like Green Lantern go in, but I don't think Invertigo should leave. I'd be cool with it staying for the fact that I love the way it looks.
