I think there is a lot you don't know. Firstly, construction is nowhere near finished on the new ride. There is no way it would be open for this years Haunt.Secondly, I don't think KI is going to open a roller coaster just for the Haunt and not the rest of season. Thirdly, all the scary theming serves one of two purposes: 1. Hint at the ride being called Banshee (do your research on this) OR 2. Throw us WAY off the path of what this coaster is going to be. My friend said the ride was going to be called "Intamin." Or something like that. And why would they be putting SCARY stuff in the Action Zone if its not for the Halloween Haunt?Themeing, Build up, Hype, Excitement, doing what should be done, Banshee. Why can't they have a scary themed ride without it being haunt related? Not all of us can or goto the haunt so why not have something scary them year around. Just adds to the park. Maybe you guys all think the scary stuff is for the new roller coaster but its really for a new Halloween Haunt....... Ok I'm calling it. She's hopeless. We are wasting our time trying to explain all this. Hopefully she will pay attention to the announcement on Thursday.

Ok here's a run down. The ride is rumored to be called Banshee because Cedar Fair got trademark licensing to use that name for an amusement park ride and souvenirs. All that scary stuff has to do with the Celtic mythological belief about the Banshee. The Banshee is rumored to look like an old hag, hence the old hag looking scarecrow thing behind the fence. She is rumored to appear right before or right after someone dies, hence the celtic cross tombstones. She is also rumored to screech right before or right after someone dies, and that screech is rumored to sound something like a cross between a woman's shriek and the moan of an owl, hence the owl figurines in the trees.... Like I said, do your research, read back posts on this thread, you will learn a lot. I learned all this by doing research and following this thread

You didn't know that's typical?? People have no sense, and don't realize cars were built to be able to handle bumps in the road!!! They would rather drive over the lines and brake to 1/2 a mph to go over a 1/16 inch deep pothole

Battlestar Galactica already beat ya' to the punch. yeah that looks like a disaster in waiting!

That was from the KIC Revival event on June 15 of this year. Ah. Nice. Is that the same event that had the FoF tour, too?

I ditto that! sounds freaky to me!!! lol

No, the announcement of what the new ride is going to be is on Thursday. That's when we will find out every detail that we have been debating. Thursday, 10pm, Action Zone.

Wow. It's gonna go at least 150 mph, huh? Well the news said its gonna break the world record. That doesn't necessarily mean speed We know it is going to be a "world record breaking" ride, but we have no idea what that means til Thursday. I highly doubt it's going to break the speed record or most inversions in one ride record.

Nah, he's just nitpicking. LOL!!!

Basically, there's one lane each direction, no shoulder, only grassy areas to park in if you're going to park off the road but not on any private property. That's about all I noticed, though. I wasn't the one driving.

Still on that high horse, I see

Interesting... where'd you hear that?

Smell: no clue... lol maybe Viking Fury or Carousel b/c it's right there by Funnel Cakes LOL Sound: I love the CLICK! sound of Invertigo, the whoosh of Diamondback, and the eerie music and screaming in the tunnels of The Beast

Where were you located? I was in that parking lot you see in the background. You come to the light right in front of their sign and there's a driveway beside it. I pulled in there. Nice. I wasn't driving, my fiance was, bc he knows the area really well He parked in the visitors lot, and yes, I have received A LOT of negativity and criticism for such I was out there early this afternoon and took a lot of pics Saw some pretty cool stuff If you wanna see what I saw, PM me. I'm not posting the link again

AFAIK they don't work weekends. I was up there last Saturday and there was no construction going on, but when I went on Wednesday and Thursday they were busy working
