I'm excited B&M came back to the parks, especially CP considering the fiasco involved with that. However, I love B&M but I'd like to see other manufacturers step into the park, especially wooden coaster companies like GCI/GG take a step up to the plate. Hopefully in due time my wish will be granted, but we shall see.

I'm just ganna go with the obvious arrow looper because that's my baby
-
Also just looking back, this thing is ganna stick out so well in the park, looking through pics here and there, look at the blue supports. They just stick out like a sore thumb in the pic, this ride is ganna look good. Another small update, lack of rides & stuff in the video means nothing. Eiffel Tower didn't have elevators in the video, guess that means no more observation tower

Nothing wrong with that... Cranes need love too

In just developing this area that needed to be built, look at CF in how they do upgrades. Wicked Twister brought people to the beach area, Maverick to the back, Gateeper to the beach again, ect. They try to get you to areas that aren't getting people, so look around and find where things are kind-of sagging, that's where they'll put a new attraction I bet you more than anything

Why would there be smaller brakes though? Hmm, puzzling I will say I do love the colors. I would have liked to pay homeage to Mantis/Bansee and have a similar color scheme, but I'll take this, it's still awesome

Question for larger B&M invert enthusiasts. The large protrusions on top, are those just friction brakes or are those magnetic brakes too. Also the smaller four in the center? I'm guessing those are the magnetic brakes? Not too sure honestly

Tips for Introducing someone to coasters
thedevariouseffect replied to CharleyTheDinosaur's topic in Kings Island
^agreed Once you get the adrenaline going, they're golden -
Sorry to double post...following suite as other posters I guess 2014--Media Day/VIP day for Banshee, also include a new coastermania midway through season (not just this one day stuff like CP, return to the several day coastermania, repeat for subsequent years) Lastly expand ERT back to 1hr to alot time for new coaster, and also allow ERT visitors to roam anywhere in the park like at CP. Also plan 2015--Totally revamp live E, make shows in Festhaus more entertaining, possibly bring in more midway live e venues other than around AZ, IS, ect. Repaint of several rides. 2016--New slides/attraction(s) for Soak City, removal of Crypt building, freeing view of train/DB, removal of Congo falls and placement into Soak City, possible replacment of Go Karts/Track in Congo Falls slot 2017--New flat ride expanding X Base (prefer an S&S Sansei Screamin' Swing, this could change as new flat rides develop over the years) 2018--Front entrance revamp slightly, add better fountain system to royal fountains (music/light interaction, ect.), also repaint coasters/flats as needed 2019--Addition to Planet Snoopy expanding back towards Soak City 2020--Expand area behind X Base towards AZ, include new GCI, GG coaster, or possible prefab Intamin woodie depending on costs 2021--Renovate Eifel Tower theater, retheme for new current shows 2022--50 Year Anniversary, celebration, ect. Mark season end/success with announcement of B&M giga Seems pretty balanced

New trains on Vortex...no...just no Also, why all the big purchases year after year and turning KI into a CP clone?

Mass Effect 3...the Banshees from that game (if you haven't played, try fighting them on insanity mode, it's a fail, and they suck, and actually kinda spook you (had one in my sniper scope and it teleported right in front of me and impaled me, that sucked, and scared the heck out of me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQ6ab5X7nnY

What ride would you not ride at Kings island.
thedevariouseffect replied to CP&LERR Fan's topic in Kings Island
It technically rides in rails and acts like a shuttle coaster. I could see and understand why -

thedevariouseffect replied to Ride On_17's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I know it wasn't...but just...grr..that was my first ever park and many of my first ever big rides. It's like your first car or first big date, ect. You'll always remember them and have memories about it -

What is your favorite roller coaster at KI?
thedevariouseffect replied to Rcoaster10's topic in KI Polls
Vortex, beast, or flight deck, depends on my mood -
I want flight deck to be flight deck. It's grey lack of theming, bland self just points to one thing that I always think about arrows. They may not he flashy to the general public or most enthusiasts..but they do deliver in terms or ride experiencence and that's all that matters. To bring a new name and theming for a ride just to compliment another ride is just lame and kinda distracting to do just to help another ride. Iron dragon didn't get changed to something else because top thrill dragster opened next door, and corkscrew didn't change for that matter either. Each ride has their own personality. Keep it as such, and enjoy each rides individuality.
