Geeking out on Wiki's roller coaster article now. I SO wanna ride something like this

Ok enough is enough. Time for me to look up what a giga coaster is.

That is Manta at SeaWorld Orlando. Thank you very much

Now this would be cool!!! I don't know what this is (found it on the Roller Coasters page on FB) but it looks really awesome.

Ok I'm clueless, please fill me in. Who is Patrick Michael?

No camping, remember?? no camping means you can't be a camper

Yeah I may not be one to talk but I really don't think that video should be on here. That is CLEAR trespassing.... Just sayin....

I have a shirt with that on it. I love grumpy cat.

Sweet photos!!!

Behind the rust colored shelter on the left side is a black colored track piece.

OOH I just thought of something!!! In one of the pics I took at CSF yesterday someone on here pointed out a black track piece in the back! Well The Bat was shown to have black track!!! Something to think about could mean nothing, could mean something. Lemme get online and I will post the pic again

Ok new speculation, though it has probably been mentioned before. The Celtic theming and Banshee is all a diversion and could be the new attraction at CP for 2014 or a hint at a future KI coaster BUT plays into The Bat bc bats are viewed typically as creepy and have been known to hang around cemeteries That's my thought.

I'm not believing that at all. I will believe it if that is what is announced on Thursday lol

Maybe they want to over hype it because it is going to cover some of the same ground as SoB and that could deter some from riding it bc they didn't like SoB. I HATED SoB but that won't deter me Also maybe they want to hype it up to attract more people to that section of AZ and draw more people in to Flight Deck I have noticed longer lines for that this year than last year.

Catching up here... Lol I find it amusing he said "comb" after sending a silver comb to Fox19 last week.

Doesn't the Banshee appear foretelling the death, a grim reaper of sorts? I'm not convinced that the name is Banshee, or that it isn't, but it's how I'll refer to it until the real name is released. It would make sense for it to be called "Banshee" because then all of the news outlets and random people on the streets would always call it "THE Banshee," thus fittingly angering all of the diehard ride enthusiasts among us. If it were up to me, I'd call it the Fiery Fist o' Pain, a la Spongebob Squarepants. I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels it is appropriate to call it Banshee til we know otherwise. That's just what I believe it's going to be, since all props and such point to as much. Though I referred to the new ride as Banshee yesterday and got bashed for it lol. I don't care anymore though. Til I know otherwise, to me, 2014 Coaster is Banshee.

The announcement will be after close, so in Theory, nobody should be walking to any rides. Yeah I wasn't thinking, clearly lol I guess in my half-awake state I got confused b/c of the VIP package info about stuff starting for VIPers at 5pm lol

The area where the water tower once stood is directly in front of the construction zone. You won't get much closer than that. There certainly won't be anyone riding the park's attractions during the announcement due to the fact that it will be past 10:00 P.M, so the park won't have to worry about congesting the midways. Overall, I think the area where the water tower once stood is the ideal area for the announcement, and where it will most likely take place. LOL never thought of that. I just woke up a bit ago and haven't had coffee, so that fact never entered my mind thanks for the reminder lol

Neat!!! Though it would be nice if they kept the webcam pointed more up and out constantly vs angled down some, so it was looking more out at the construction zone vs showing the Eiffel Tower deck with all the people.

I'm sure this has already been mentioned in various forms, so I apologize if I'm bringing up something that has already been covered, but perhaps all this Banshee stuff has nothing at all to do with the new ride, but instead as a gimmick to "mourn" SoB's death, but the new ride won't have anything to actually do with Banshee. I mean, on one hand I see that as being a plausible theory, but on the other hand, that doesn't explain the trademark on the name Banshee. Another thought - those blueprints - did they happen to have a name on them that could possibly indicate the name of the new ride? I know nothing about blueprints but I would think that blueprints would have something on them that would identify what they are for, IE the name of what is being built, such as a BP or a Chipotle... Just my thoughts....

I wish I had $150 or something of high value to sell for $150 (I could sell my iPhone 5 for more than that I know, but then I wouldn't have a phone lol). Is anyone on here planning on getting the VIP package? Also, other than somewhere around the construction site, do we know WHERE in Action Zone this announcement is going to be?? It is really intriguing me because there's limited room over there to hold a huge press release announcement with several hundred in attendance and still have walking room for those crazy people that have no interest in the announcement and want to go on rides instead I know there's all that space in the middle where the water tower used to be, but that's not right by the construction zone. My initial thought had been Festhaus, since there is an entrance to there in Action Zone, and that could explain pew seating, but then why would pew seating be VIP? Anyone else have theories or knowledge about this?

As far as I know, the announcement is still going to be live streamed on USTREAM on channel coastergeek starting at 9:55pm EST (please correct me if this is in any way inaccurate, I saw it several days ago)

I know!!! Would you camp in a graveyard? (Catching up) ooh!!!! Excellent point!!

I like your theory!

I know!!!
