The new restraints are going to make your collarbones scream like a Banshee, i don't care what has been said about Gatekeeper was going to get its restraints fixed, its the ending of the season and the restraints are still uncomfortable. Im starting to believe its not going to be fixed..

Fight deck is more forceful than iron dragon but iron dragon has length.

I think mean streak is at the end of the road in its lifetime. I would rather see Cedar Point get a new woodie in the future.

Sounds like my day at Cedar Point no wait was longer than 20 mins except for maverick.

Someone told me that the future is riding on millenium force.

Jaded much? yep Kings Island has got boring, probably because I've been there way to many times this year.

Wait so you can see into the future?Witchcraft, burn it, burn it with fire. Don't have to look into the future, it would just explain why there is now a Banshee at Kings Island.

To be honest in 8th grade i hated roller-coasters, they mad me sick to my stomach looking at them and riding them ( especially the first drop ), the biggest coaster i was riding at that time was The Beast, now years later I have rode a multitude of big coasters at different parks.. I look back now and realize Kings Island ain't got squat, and that i was riding the best coaster at Kings Island all along.The Beast

i might need a face mask next time i ride front seat on millennium force at night, i was literally a 90mph human gnat swatter.

i never mentioned intamin being the only way Kings Island can expand, i was mentioning how Intamin are risk takers and b&m are safe players. I choose b&m and intamin for comparisons because they are very well known manufactures ( especially on this forum ) Maybe i should also talk more about arrow that was another manufacture who took alot of risks...

Ya and they have seemingly looked the other way from what history shows.. if Cedar Fair keeps playing it safe with its investments Cedar Fair will never grow. Look back on Cedar Points history what truly made its mark was the fact that their coasters pushed the envelope in the industry, first hyper, giga, and strata coasters were at Cedar Point. Same deal with Kings Island they had the first stand up coaster, first LIM launch coaster, first hyper looping wooden coaster.. .But guess what those brought people to the parks and the parks grew as a result.. Where some of the investments not so great yea, Cedar Points Top thrill dragster, and Kings Islands Son of Beast would fit that bill. But the park wouldn't be we're it is today without those innovations and risks... B&M to me is the safe path that Cedar Fair is currently trending in, not saying its bad but you can't grow if you keep playing it safe, you gotta have some balls.. there needs to be a balance between getting safe coasters ( B&M ) and risky coasters that will help the park grow ( Intamin ).

"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.

ya but it can cause one to rupture.

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.

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...

Invertigo has a fairly new coat of paint on it, I'd be surprised if it was moved.

the problem with that is that they will be preloaded, its not like you can keep building up debt.

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.

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.

It's a known fact that Walt Disney himself is hidden in cryo within those tunnels...

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

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.

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.

back in the 90s b&m and intamin did work together.

they do its called General Motors.
