Really like how fast Banshee is coming together! I know we have what 6 months until she opens up but, I'm excited. Hope KI themes Banshee well!

Hello All! I'm semi-new to this site and I have a question for you all. Does Kings Island sell Banshee Decals? I've seen decals for The Beast and for Diamondback. I would really like to have a Banshee decal for my truck. I went to the park on 08/12/13 and couldn't find them I did buy a Banshee shirt but thought I would ask all of you. Have you seen Banshee Decals being sold at the park? I am so STOKED for Banshee can't wait til Spring 2014! Thanks for your time.

I don't want music to play at all for me! I like to soak up the atmosphere while I'm waiting inline, why can't Kings Island play ambient music that reflects the ride it's themed to..I'd love to hear faint Banshee wails with spooky graveyard sounds playing like owls hooting,gates creaking, the wind blowing... yeah that'd be great. I don't want to hear Katy Perry or Taylor swift or Lady Gaga. I don't want to offend anyone on here but I hope you all understand what I'm saying.

Ok..What's with all the hate? I for one was extremely upset to see SoB go I will admit that! But for crying out loud I'm happy.. rather joyous for Banshee...ah, its true what they say Haters gonna Hate.

I think Banshee is STUNNING! The colors just pop..love it!

Is that a batwing? Anyway..super stoked..I know next spring/summer when I ride this I will be so excited and scared! Just like when I rode DB and SoB! I was so scared I was shaking! LOL! BTW is Kings Island selling Banshee Merch? I hope they are selling a Car Decal that would go great with Beast and DB Decals on my pickup.

I'm so stoked! The Color Scheme is so balls out awesome! For a sec...I thought it was going to be The Bat, But I'm so stoked cannot wait til next spring!

Meh! I don't take much truth in those ''blue prints'' I am however EXTREMELY excited about the announcement. Can't wait!

The Smurfs Enchanted Voyage Scooby-Doo & The Haunted Castle ( My kids adored this ride) King Cobra Son of Beast Spongebob Squarepants 3D Hanna-Barbera Land Rugrats: Runaway Reptar

^ I agree ! I rodeThe Beast a few weeks ago and the same exact thing happened! It drove me crazy!

I know this is off-topic, but dude, is that your car in your avatar? Sweet machine! Why, Yes. Thanks. I forgot to tell everyone this I overheard some banter between a group of people working at KI they were refering to this new coaster as ''Wolfpack'' dunno what that means maybe it's a clue but I highly doubt it. Just wanted to post it anyway for all of you.

I'm so curious to see what's in store for Kings Island next season...

''Have a great day here at Paramount's Kings Island!'' This was last summer while I was getting off The Beast.

ANYWAY Back on topic! As, on length how long to you all think this ''coaster'' will be?

I've been at Kings Island during some really nasty storms, Once they closed the park because of a Tornado Warning my family and I had to bolt to my truck. It was extremely terrifying. The clouds were a crazy mixture of light green,purple, black and gray! The clouds were so low, that day was very freaky it stormed all the way back to Dayton.Also, another time it started Hailing on us and we left the park. It happens.

I haven't been to a ''Halloween Haunt'' in years, last time I was at a Halloween Event @ Kings Island, Paramount owned the park and the Halloween Event was called ''FearFest'' What's the new Haunt like it? Is it more of the same or is it greatly improved upon? Is Corn Stalkers is around? The main reason I've stayed away from Halloween events is because when you reach a certain age you realize once you been to one Halloween Haunt you've been to them all.

First off...What's with all the scarecrows?!? teacup!?! I think this will be something rather..xtra large! ( It's a rhetorical answer!)

Yeah, Surveys are to see what the fans think there was also a dark ride theme to the Lorax which many now are saying that will be the new addition to IOA with the Smurfs coming to USF. I would like to see the Grinch's Dark ride at IOA but hey. I read this in the news section of the Orlando Business Journal so take it for what that's worth apparently Universal has been in talks with Sony Pictures and the Peyo Estate for a couple of months about this project. I have heard of King Kong Coming as well but that's in different spot than E.T. Adventure where the smurfs are reportedly going. I love what Universal has done with The Simpsons it's so... I can't even find the words to express how awesome that concept is and how it panned out.

According to Orlando business journal, Universal has secured the rights to the comics artist Pierre Culliford (Peyo) most beloved comic series,cartoon & movies, The Smurfs! The Smurfs are said to be replacing E.T. Adventure. There were a couple of concepts of what to replace it with one was based on the cartoon and the other was a dark ride with a subway theme based on the first film and there is this one that stuck out the most this one will most likely be going in E.T.'s place It's a dark ride/suspended ride and it's a stimulating a flying balloon experiance with large dioramas,environmental effects,vignettes,projected media, and animatronics and It's called a Smurf Celebration : YOU have been invited to Smurf Village for a party! Your Hot air Balloon adventure starts as you float over a large forest, you can see the mushroom rooftops of the houses of Smurf Village. As you get closer you land in the central courtyard of the village and you can see your favorite smurfs preparing for the party. You nearly trip over a tower of cupcakes Baker Smurf is building , but luckily for you Hefty Smurf pushes you out of the way just in time. As you float through the village and see Smurfette and Vanity Smurf blowing up hundreds of colorful balloons for the party. Jokey Smurf appears with a '' Welcome Gift'' for You in a small box. You see the top of the box open with a small ''BOOM'', causing nearly all the balloons to pop around us as Jokey laughs. You move further into the village and see a band of smurfs practicing their with their instruments and a choir of Smurfs rehearsing a joyous song. They teach us a small simple chorus and ask you to sing loudly into a recording device so your voice can be apart of the festivities later. Suddenly, you see Gargamel's cat Azrael leap in front of you, following by a couple of smurfs chasing him down. He has snuck into the village and cannot be let to escape or else he will be able to show Gargamel where the village is located. You follow chase in your balloons and see the smurfs catch Azrael, blindfold him, and place him in his own balloon so thathe floats out of the village and far away without being able to see where he is going or where he came from. Azrael's balloon whizzes post yours and you bounce and spin around. You float back down o the central courtyard where the party is just starting. You see the smurf band playing and DJ Smurf placing down a record of your recorded voice onto his mixer. You can hear your own voice playing back to you and as you float out of the village. Papa Smurf personally addresses you by your name and says Good-bye and the other smurfs wave good-bye as you float back home. http://www.bizjournals.com/orlando/blog/2013/06/theme-park-news-site-screamscape-is.html http://www.themeparkinsider.com/flume/201306/3540/ Screamscape (I know I don't always trust the site) Also says that Fievel's Playland and Barney are going to be re-themed to The Smurfs as well. Thoughts? I'm all for it I've always adored the smurfs as kid and an adult and the smurfs now are popular with kids once again.

I love Magic Kingdom. I will admit I do enjoy Tower of Terror at DHS and I haven't been on it yet but I hear great things about Living Seas:With Nemo and Friends. Also, I hear WDW Resort is getting Carsland. Which is okay with me I enjoy that movie..but my favorite is Finding Nemo.

It's really coming together! It looks like it's going to be a blast to ride. I'm looking forward to riding this..I can't wait to see New Fantasy Land another question is doing any of you know how to find the characters? My little girls want to meet the princesses and Mickey & Friends.My little guy wants to meet some of the villains..I don't think that's possible but hey wanted to ask.

I'm new to this coaster stuff..I'm learning. Thanks Everyone. I haven't been to WDW in a few years.. Looking forward to it. I hear The Little Mermaid ride is theme extremely well as is the Beauty & The Beast part of the park..Gotta admit I'm looking forward to The Great Goofni...Have any of you been to WDW? Did you like it? What was your favorie ride?

I like the hard stuff! Back in my hometown we called Ice Cream Frozen Cow Juice...

They are both built by Vekoma are they not?

I have been reading about this new coaster going in at WDW to be based and themed around the 1937 Classic Disney Film Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs. From what I have come to understand it's being built by Vekoma. Being the Disney fans my family are Iam wondering do any of you know if this will be a family type-coaster like Rugrats:Runaway Reptar or what's known by now Flying Ace Aerial Chase. Or will this coaster be strictly for children? I have read it's a family coaster on some sites and read it's for kids on others I just need some help from you coaster pros. Is it for the family?!?! I want my youngins to have fun and forget about this cruel wicked world we live in and enjoy,have fun while we are in Florida next year. THANKS! -ShadowBolt (Who is a kid at heart)
