  1. the problem with that is that they will be preloaded, its not like you can keep building up debt.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. It's a known fact that Walt Disney himself is hidden in cryo within those tunnels...
  5. 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
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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 )
  9. It would be awesome if we got a huss enterprise... Have it painted red and silver with it being named cyclone.
  10. In 2015 we will get something that is a Cedar Fair chain wide attraction, kinda like with wind-seeker / Dinosaurs Alive...
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. have him get on Flight of Fear, don't ever mention loops.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. I would ride The Beast for it must be tamed, and if i die trying at least ill have a smile on my face.
  17. 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...
  18. Boring&Mudane rollercoasters are not rough at all.
  19. It would be anarchy if The Beast would ever be removed.. But with The Beast being removed chances are slim to none. it wouldn't be my pick I would hate to see flight deck go. if they plan on removing any coaster I hate to say the Adventure Express would be my pick. It was my first roller coaster. But it's had it's time, I would love to see it replaced by a intamin coasted like maverick utilizing the theming and tunnels the Adventure Express currently uses.
  20. How about they let the eagles soar once again at Kings Island! <a href="http://s362.photobucket.com/user/x241/media/image-12.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i362.photobucket.com/albums/oo63/x241/image-12.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo image-12.jpg"/></a> i was fortunate enough today to ride them once again at kings dominion.
  21. Here's how my day went got to kings dominion at 11am headed straight for intimidator 305! Found out it was closed for the day, so i cried.. After wiping my tears i went on to ride volcano ( awesome ) and dominator ( which for a b&m i was kinda impressed ) i got beat up by a couple wooden coasters ( hurler & grizzly ) after a back realignment i rode some classics ricochet, shockwave and flying eagles. Got to the Eiffel Tower and did a u turn, got back on flying eagles, took some pictures from the ferris wheel and headed my way over to volcano and finished my day riding dominator twice ( walk on ) Left the park at close... Needless to say I'm still sad about intimidator.
  22. Regulations changed and now Kings Island only operates 2 trains when it originally operated 4... It makes sense for safety reasons but as a rollback on FoF is possible but highly unlikely the LIM launch is not mechanical it's propulsion is electromagnetic. Being indoors cuts out the weather changing the launch outcome.. They could still run 3 trains because of the mcbr. once the train 1 passes threw a sensor completing the first loop the chances of rollback are slim to none the other two trains can move up a section, so train 2 goes from the unloading station to loading station and the train 3 waiting in the last brake run move to the unloading station it would still be more efficient, with 3 trains. Or the latter and it could end up like diamondstack and have two trains waiting and one train loading.. It all depends on the crew at that point.
