Has any two roller coaster worked together? Like B&M & Vekoma to build a coaster? If so what ride(s) and companies (a few would do)?
Sorry if it's a silly question...
Vekoma and Chance Morgan designed the Dive Pretzel concept but it has yet to be built. (It was going to be built at the Orlando Thrill Park but the park got rejected to be built in the first place).

EDIT: I still believe B&M was also involved at one point as the concept art looks like B&M track and not of the other two manufactures; this has never been confirmed though

By getting a family to record the announcment, I just have to wonder how this ride/addition will not be leaked.
-
The track in the picture is indeed inverted coaster storage track. Just look at pictures of storage track for any of B&M's Inverted Coaster's.
Clermont Steel Fabrication, the company B&M uses to manufacture it's track.
Not all their track...mostly for North America though there are exceptions. There is an Italin company that also helps out with manufacutring for European/over-seas B&M coasters.

Just a small update: residents living close to BGT have filed a noise complaint due to the the construction taking place at night for Falcon's Fury.

Here is what I see in the future: Knott's is going to reopen WindSeeker. Within a few weeks the ride is going to stop again. The safety board (or whoever originally shut down the Knott's model) is going to shut the ride down again. Knott's will then make the decision to remove WindSeeker. The WindSeeker's at the other parks will likely remain in operation until some sort of decision is made by Cedar Fair officials.

^NOOOOOOOO!!!! Anything but that!!!
It's either that or continue confusing everybody with the semi-geeky discussion. At least I can laugh at the arguments over Intafail and Boring & Mediocre.
You calling me a geek? I'm can rest a sure you that I am not (other than the fact that this URL stuff isn't confusing me...its pretty simple if you explain it well...which I'm not doing a good job of)....I'm just decoding.
Any discussion of the intricacies of URLs, or any highly technical discussion for that matter, has a geekiness level above zero. We probably confused three-fourth of all KICers in that discussion. So I'm not calling you a geek (a badge that I proudly wear myself), but the discussion was kinda geeky.
EDIT: See the post immediately above for evidence that we were either confusing or boring people with that discussion.
Oh well, life shall now move on.

I'm still scratching my head wondering why he would need help with the announcement. Guess we got to wait 'till tomorrow.

Not trying to argue :-)
All rides on https://www.visitkingsisland.com/ have this after /rides/Thrill-Rides-12-14-11-44/ then ride name.Doesnt matter if its The Beast or Firehawk. Your right none of the rides on https://www.visitkingsisland.com/ridename has that URL, which also applys to https://www.visitkingsisland.com/Banshee. If Banshee is the name it would have /rides/Thrill-Rides-12-14-11-44/Banshee to match all the other rides.
I'm not trying to argue either. All is good!
Just because Banshee has the https://www.visitkingsisland.com/Banshee url, that doesn't mean it would have the other until later on.
-
Also, web developers can be sneaky people, and even they might not have access to details of this ride yet. Perhaps they used this name for testing an announcement page, not yet knowing for sure what the name would be.
Very true.
CP web developers did a very good job in testing the Gatekeeper page last year.

Am I the only who has totally skipped over this entire page?
If you don't like talking about URL's, you made a good choice.

No i understand when I type in https://www.visitkingsisland.com/Diamondback it takes me to homepage not Diamondbacks page and to get to Diamondbacks page it has to be this format https://www.visitkingsisland.com/rides/Thrill-Rides-12-14-11-44/Diamondback
i understand that on cedarpoints website it works that way, but not for visitkingsisland
Because Diamondback never and still doesn't have that URL!
It works the exact same way as Cedar Point...just minor differences in URL formats (which doesn't change anything).
EDIT: Don is probably calling the webmasters/developers over to laugh at us!

its the same URl foramt they use for all rides
https://www.visitkingsisland.com/rides/Thrill-Rides-12-14-11-44/The-Beast
https://www.visitkingsisland.com/rides/Thrill-Rides-12-14-11-44/Diamondback
You don't seem to be understanding me (which is fine, I understand
). For new rides, CF uses "www.parkname.com/newridename". The url you using is the general url used for all of the parks attractions.Also, new rides tend to have two pages (or so it seems).
https://www.cedarpoint.com/rides/Roller-Coasters/Gatekeeper-NEW-in-2013 (this is a similar "general" url that you are referring to)
https://www.cedarpoint.com/Gatekeeper
EDIT: After you edited your original post, that is because Diamondback had its own website all together (for whatever reason). http://www.kiDiamondback.com/
-
Your using a different url format you know; not the ones that Cedar Fair now uses for new rides.
-
Rides aren't linked directly off of the root directory, they are all in subdirectories like: https://www.visitkingsisland.com/rides/Thrill-Rides-12-14-11-44/The-Beast
Not new attractions. Gatekeeper and Gold Striker had their own pages:
I'm pretty sure Diamondback did too.
Nope, it used the old way that Cedar Fair handled new ride urls, just like Leviathan. (Cedar Fair changed the way they put new attraction web pages in 2013 with Gatekeeper)
http://leviathan.canadaswonderland.com/
The ride name was not a subpage of the main url.
EDIT: Diamondback had its own website all together:

yea you can type in https://www.visitkingsisland.com/knightrider
and still take you to https://www.visitkingsisland.com
Type in anything if this is the case, then we also have a new ride called melgibson
That's not my point.
If you type in https://www.visitkingsisland.com/2015, you end up at the home page.
If your type in https://www.visitkingsisland.com/2014, you get the 404.
If you type in https://www.visitkingsisland.com/Banshee, you get the 404.
If you type in https://www.visitkingsisland.com/Bansheee, (or anything else) you end up at the homepage. (This one has an extra "e")
"2014" and "Banshee" are the only things that give you a 404 error.
NOTE: If you click on the links from here, you just go to the homepage, to get the 404 error, you have to type in the rest of the url.

But when you type in anything else, you don't get that. I could be wrong with what I'm "decoding" out of this, but this is just my opinion.

I got me a king size peanut butter Snickers at Speedway...
I have a feeling the Banshee is just a diversion, it only cost $275 to file a trademark, and attorney fees, but FUN has corporate attorneys so its just the filing fee. The official name trade mark will likely be filed on the announcement day, so it will not leak.
Or FUN is going to pull out 20 year old artwork and clear out some warehouse space that Banshee recalled items have been sitting in.
I still have a gut feeling that it will be called Banshee after my URL find I mentioned this morning.

Anyone think whatever is for the new ride may be in The Crypt's building?
So why would they be pouring footers in a different area?

According to this article, all WindSeeker's are closed. The article was updated 50 minutes ago so I wonder if the KI model is still operating even though it was open in the morning...any word from people at the park?

BREAKING NEWS:
I was just taking a look at the Kings Island website and when you type in https://www.visitkingsisland.com/2014, you get the 404 error. Also, https://www.visitkingsisland.com/Banshee gives you the same error. Type in anything else and you get a redirect back to the homepage....look for the 404 error to be replaced with something soon!!!
