meh. work computers are not at all meant for watching videos I'll have to watch it tonight when I get home.. It loads but bascially won't play because the connection here is just that slow.... oh well. It'll be better if I can hear the sound anyways

that is such a beautiful sight!!!

I haven't viewed the new camera yet.... I guess I should go do that? I've viewed the regular camera so many times I have the link memorized, which is very very handy when you're using the slow computers in the break rooms at work! Banshee looks so pretty in the snow

Steve got his wish!! 1 support and 1 track piece in 2 hours, I'd say that's decent progress I wish we could tell them we appreciate all their hard work, as well!!! It's COLD out there!!!

noticeable changes on the webcam already today I wish I could spend all day watching the cam but I work in a warehouse so I can't

boy that is going to be one nice station... I like the windows in the bottom of it!!! very nice. I'm super excited to see this progressing I can't wait til the landscaping starts. Thank you David for the update!

on my lunch break at work and just had to get on to view the camera.... haven't viewed it in so long.... man, that is one beautiful massive coaster!!! I can't wait!! final vertical loop is complete now I'm so excited to ride this coaster. Opening day 2014 needs to hurry up!!!

Not at all questioning you here, but am curious how you know the number of pieces of track left to be installed

Hey, even the meteorologists don't seem very good at calling the wather around here!!!

In other news, I'm starting to get sad that they are sooo close to being done with the track. It's amazing how quick they work!!! A little over 5 months from the day it was announced, and all the track construction is almost done!!! I will be so sad when everything is all done and we aren't able to ride it yet.

Flying Ace is better than Craptor! What is so wrong with Raptor..May not be the best invert but it's better than some others before it..or others of the same variant. If you don't like Raptor basically half the inverts share very similar statistics and ride elements. Regardless, there are rides you won't fully enjoy, but every coaster has something, enjoy it. For instance, Beast is alot of flat boring track with a bit of speed, but the lift hills, tunnels, helix, and terrain make for a fun ride. But admittedly there are alot of flat boring spots when you look at it Flying Ace is a boring lame big kid coaster. How is that better than a real invert exactly? I won't ride FA unless I am super bored and it has a short line because it's boring and not worth the usual 20-30 minute wait it typically has in the summer. But hey ride the kiddie coaster all ya want if that is what gives ya your thrill LOL. I will take my upside down steep hill invert any day over a coaster that basically just takes you in circles

All I know is Raptor was AWESOME, and this is going to be bigger, longer, faster, and better than Raptor, and that thrills me

Do we know when opening day 2014 is yet?

Agreed! I scratch my head when I think about it's recent repainting....why wasn't it painted this color back then? What made this time different? Banshee. It's going to go right by The Bat so why not give the old ride a nice spiffy makeover? I'm also still hoping for a dark theme sub-section not sure how Skyflyer would fit in a dark theme sub-section without being renamed though.

Is Coaster Crew one of those approved? The list has not been announced yet. Except GOCC. They mentioned on their Facebook page that members will be invited. I do hope the April 17th date sticks around. It works out beautifully with my school schedule. Well I might join them then in case Coaster Crew is excluded lol. Or ACE. I mean ACE gets everything LOL

^ ok thanks. I hope it will be.

You will find very few rides that you don't have to wear shoes on. Banshee will have a shoe policy I can guarantee that. As for a situation when you would have to evacuate down the lift hill- ouch...which is why for years Great Bear required you to sit on loose shoes. They will probably have a loose article policy like Firehawk. Loose shoes and prescription eyewear they will hold onto. Everything else goes in a locker. I wish it was like Gatekeeper, where they can hold small personal items like a small Nike bag or such. I hate paying $2 for a locker that I won't need longer than half an hour lol

How hard is it to put on the straps? I was looking on their website and think that might be a good option for both of us. I wear contacts while at any amusement park and they do dry out on occasion especially when riding coasters. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Mine don't typically dry out. Clarity H2O brand here. But I also usually wear sunglasses bc I have sensitive eyes

Ooh they should put in a food cart that sells orange and black iced bat shaped sugar cookies and blue and red iced batwing shaped sugar cookies (cookies shaped like the wing of a bat, not like the roller coaster layout lol) I think that would be really awesome and I would totally buy them even if it was $5 a cookie lol

I'm on team pretzel loop

It's amazing how far they are getting!!!! Hard to believe it is getting close to being done (in terms of track installation, that is(

I have photos of The Bat (and Banshee) taken from GWL during the KIC Christmas party I will put up this weekend. My computer is broken so I can't really use it. I am getting a new one after work tomorrow though.

I wouldn't mind having a ground hugging intamin similar to Maverick.I hope you had a great Thanksgiving by the way! If we got a Maverick type ride at Kings Island I would be very happy. That or Millie or better, both.

I am still on my Invertigo getting renamed to Stinger high horse even though I don't see that happening without a total re-theme of all of AZ to something dark and renaming all the rides. So for now I am hoping for a sub-section. As far as names, I am out of ideas, not that I really had one to begin with
