  1. "the second b&m death to be at Kings Island" meaning the second death for b&m will be located at Kings Island. I was just at kings dominion last week, im back at Cedar Point today.
  2. I'm calling this the quote of the week. This could shut up most of the Intamin lovers on here. (Not that its bad to like Intamin). . Im sick of the die hard Diamondback B&M lovers bashing intamin for trying, B&M coasters are not that special, half there designs were stolen from giovanola. Along with the lackluster innovation going on at B&M'.. the invert coaster and dive coaster are the only things b&m brought into the coaster world. And that was back in the 90's... the winged coaster is a arrow 4d train were the seats don't spin. B&m have yet to make there own launch system (incredible hulk did not feature there own launch system), launched coasters been around for decades, first giga coaster they built a decade after the first giga coaster was built, ( a project that they refused initially, b&m must be afraid of heights) with the addition of there coasters laying on the trim brakes, and dragging out there elements, its almost as if b&m has no confidence in its engineering team.. Intamin has its reliability issues, but for a manufacture that try's to catapult coasters into the future you got to give them the credit for trying.
  3. This name is most appropriate, works perfect with the teaser video! The death was SOB, not the B&M! Not sure what you mean by "second b&m death"? the death on dominator, train pulled into station with unconscious person, rushed to hospital and they ended up dying from a ruptured brain aneurysm ( brain bleed ) its hush hush tho its a b&m coaster... Unlike the 2009 Son of Beast incident that was all over the media. About a lady that 2 and a half weeks later ends up with a brain bleed and claims it was Son of Beast.. And cedar unfair ends up shutting down Son of Beast and eventually demolishing it even tho it was operating normally...
  4. Invertigo has a fairly new coat of paint on it, I'd be surprised if it was moved.
  5. the problem with that is that they will be preloaded, its not like you can keep building up debt.
  6. Im surprised b&m will build a coaster with a name like Banshee.... "Appears before death" the second b&m death to be at Kings Island.. looks like Son of Beast will get the last laugh.
  7. I don't see the point of these its no different from using a credit card or debit card, it sounds to me that Cedar Fair will be making more profit from these wristbands.
  8. It's a known fact that Walt Disney himself is hidden in cryo within those tunnels...
  9. back in the 90s b&m and intamin did work together. I remember hearing somewhere that Bolliger or Mabillard worked for Intamin then left/got fired and created their own company. Or it was the other way around. your right and wrong on this, before b&m was there own company bollard and Millard worked for Giovanola who was contracted by intamin to build some of their rollercoasters : flashback, the shock wave, cobra, and batman the escape are considered intamin coasters but have box style track because it was giovanola design / manufacture.. Bollard and Millard left giovanola in the 90's made their own company which is known today as B&M.. Giovanola went on to build goliath and titan, before going bankrupt in 2004. Therefor Intamin and b&m were once partners but since the split from giovanola in the 90's b&m and intamin are now competitors... A
  10. I will say disaster transport was an eyesore, and space spiral was replaced by WindSeeker... Gatekeeper was ok, my favorite part being the wing over drop/half loop into a Immelmann loop... They really cleaned up that side of the park, its a lot more open and seems less cluttered, The entrance also looks great especially at night.
  11. SFGAmercia just built x flight 2 years ago its hard to believe they are getting another coaster, but i guess its possible considering Kings Island got Firehawk and Diamondback within 2 years. This wooden coaster is probably going to utilize terrain to reach its top speed.
  12. I died a little on the inside when i found out at the announcement only one world record was being broken, how can you replace multiple records with only one?... ( sad face )
  13. It would be awesome if we got a huss enterprise... Have it painted red and silver with it being named cyclone.
  14. In 2015 we will get something that is a Cedar Fair chain wide attraction, kinda like with wind-seeker / Dinosaurs Alive...
  15. The whole reason why they tell you hands and feet inside the cart at all times is to protect the park and manufacture's tail if you get hurt. Most manufactures do pull throughs because they don't want any chance of it becoming an accident because they know you get people who will put there hands out. Kinda like wet floor signs they know your going to walk over the wet floor but if you fall, you can't blame them when you were warned in advanced.
  16. I wonder if by speeding up Banshee at the end of the ride will make it a huge progress in B&M coasters, as much as I love DB, after the MCBR it is boring! Maybe not for a newbie but I personally could care some after the turn! knowing b&m they will have trim brakes applied before you reach the batwing.
  17. have him get on Flight of Fear, don't ever mention loops.
  18. For a ride that's been open for 7 years its more of a freak incident rather than intamin issues, i could happen to any coaster, its just blown up because its a intamin coaster.
  19. I can agree with youngstud to a point ( he would rather have everything be intamin ), it would suck having nothing but b&m coasters built i would mucn prefer la variety of coasters.
  20. I would ride The Beast for it must be tamed, and if i die trying at least ill have a smile on my face.
  21. its hush hush when B&M coasters have problems... It's funny because the 2009 accident on Son of Beast was for someone who had a brain bleed 2 weeks after and Son of Beast gets shutdown indefinitely / demolished, then you get dominator a b&m coaster that arrives in station with a unresponsive passenger that had a brain aneurism who ends up dead, and they look the other way...
