They could name boo blasters the Zombie, but Banshee is more graceful. Maybe The Bat?

So, if Mantis had been named Banshee, what would our Banshee be named?

I dont know why im so curious... I hate Drop Tower. It messes with my soul when im on it and its the worst feeling ever haha. But still, its a really cool ride to look at and try to guess whats wrong!

"Ow! Ow! Owowowowowowowowowowowowow!!! Ow ow ow owowowowowowowowowowowowowow!" (My Banshee experience in 8-4 on the purple train)

Lol I don't know why I want to know if its running so bad. I loath that ride haha. Also, I am never riding 8-4 purple on Banshee again. Ouch!

Does anyone know if Drop Tower is running today?

Personally, i would like to see an Intamin launched wingrider in xbase. Kinda like Furius Baco at Port Adventura. Maybe it could come out of or dive into a concrete tunnel with barbed wire and fog in the middle of xbase like Oblivion at Alton Towers.

Ok sorry about my last post... I was mad at my dad and probably shouldn't have been posting at that time lol I was just really aimlessly being angry, and I'm sorry.

Edit: Move along... Nothing to see here!

Ok. Sorry. Forget what I said earlier. I observed that Drop Tower had a mechanic doing some jiggling on a restraint. I later asked Andrew what he thought, and he said that he thought it was that it didn't have all the seats certified yet. This is not positively true, it's just what he thought about it.

That's why I said " I HEARD that Drop Tower didn't have all it's seats certified "

Then it's not true then. How would YOU know?

I heard it from Andrew on May 4 2014 in line for Banshee with malem and ohiocolts.

I heard that DT doesn't have all it's seats certified

Here are the drawings i came up with: This is just a sketch. The red track is an idea for a new coaster with a heartline roll through Vortex's old loop. Sorry couldn't add more feel to it. It's hard to draw rust with a drying out pen lol. This is a possible track layout / map.

I was just thinking about that. They could tear down the tall parts and keep the inversions so its not so ugly but still visible through trees and stuff.

Oh ok! I didn't know arrow coasters lasted that long! So my idea is probably really unlikely, but I still think it would be really cool if they did retheme it and make another ride under it. I'll draw up something on paper.

I'm saying WHEN it gets torn down. By all means, I don't WANT it to be torn down, but I thought this would be cool for WHEN Vortex is too old to be safe to ride on. Im not hoping that they tear it down. I just thought it would be cool to make this new thing under it. Heck they could even re theme it and keep it operating but still add the new stuff I talked about earlier!

Maybe they could add the dead derailed trains with skeletons in them during haunt and have a maze in the ride area. Otherwise just have the ride kinda vacant and rusty with a haunting sorta feel.

I just had this crazy out of the blue idea for a new ride. I don't know if its a good one, but hear me out. So I thought that when Vortex closes, (which I hope is not soon, but it will have to close some time {all rides do}), they could leave it standing, and make it look like it has been closed for a long time. Like they just abandoned it after the track split or it derailed or something. They could leave a train valleyed between the loops, and have some bent ends of rails and missing track after the MCBR. They could put skeletons in the valleyed train and have a skeleton filled train waiting in the station. The chain could be rusty and broken and a train could be sitting on the lift. You get the idea. Make it look like an accident happened and KI abandoned it. Then they could install an INTAMIN Blitz coaster or a Mack launch coaster under Vortex and in the woods behind it. They could call it Soul of Vortex or something like that. It could be the same colors as Vortex and have some of the same elements, but for the most part stay really low to the ground. Could have lots of Vortex-y theming and possibly utilize Vortex's station! Could also interact with some of Vortex, like going through one of the loops or through the station or something like that. What do you guys think?

Just had a fine time with thedevariouseffect, the chickens, malem and Andrew!

Maybe something like this???

Not true! Congo Falls was stuck on the lift on opening day!

We rode together yet didn't know that we did! Lol Edit: ohh.....

I was there at 5:00 in the morning! Got third train of the day!
