Victim in Medically Induced Coma, Faulty Lap Bar Proven: http://www.channel3000.com/news/man-who-fell-from-roller-coaster-remains-in-induced-coma/25201108

I'm curious of what Terp's suggestion would be.
-
It's been there for at least a few days.^ They're testing now!

It looks like the roof of the shade structure is about to be installed! http://174.121.245.214/cfki/WindSeeker1/Camera4.jpg?r=1395852490395 Edit: Nevermind, just realized that I was just seeing Ice Cream Zone's roof. Nevermind then haha. Carry on.

I'm $55 away. My parents offered to donate the rest since they don't donate money super often and they wanted me to refrain from asking more of my aunts and uncles.

Faulty Lap Bar blamed: http://m.wkow.com/w/main/story/112394208/

I love how fast the train leaves the crest of the lift hill!
-
Since I should hit the $100 minimum, I figured why not, I can do Media Day (with the all-nighter), Scream for a Kid Again, and Opening Day. Including a few hours of sleep between Media Day and Scream for a Kid Again, of course.

I personally like the early morning webcam captures, sometimes different things are lit up.

This! Hey Don, can you make this happen?!? Please! Haha

Who is going to try the new Banshee Ice Cream?
Gemini XL-200 replied to kingsislandfan1972's topic in Kings Island
Last season after hearing about Banshee Twist Ice cream, I went to the Ice Scream Zone stand to get some. However, I did not see it listed on the tv menus, so I didn't ask for any. Did I miss something or could they just not have had it that day? -
You could shave your head. And go barefoot. Gemini-XL 200, who likes to mess with Diamondbacker, like good friends typically do.

Pavers would be awesome, but my guess is that it'll be concrete. Gemini XL-200, a fan of those nice pavers in Coney Mall.

Found some more shots of Lightning Run construction over on TPR: https://scontent-1.2914.fna.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/t31.0-8/10006030_754838081201953_642412945_o.jpg https://scontent-1.2914.fna.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/t31.0-8/1932759_754838331201928_1996437129_o.jpg I found them here: http://themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=51557&p=1427579#p1427579

Haha you're fine!^ I know you were just poking fun. Believe it or not, I thought your response was funny.
-
Going from third person to first person in one sentence now eh? Haha my bad. Edited that in quickly because I didn't want the "Then what were you referring to?" to sound rude or like I was mad. I'm actually just curious as to what he was actually referring to. And if an apology on my part is needed, I will extend one. There's no one on here that I dislike, and I'd like to keep it that way.

I am not sucking up to the park. I actually understand why the rule is in place and agree with it. Seriously, is it really THAT big of a deal to be required to press the shift key an extra time or copy and past the link to the source of a photo or video? It amazes me how people have a problem with simple things like that. They just spent 25 million plus more money on a huge new coaster plus other changes like The Bat, and some people can't follow a simple request from the park without complaining about it. Would you rather have the freedom of not capitalizing Trademarks, or Banshee? Not capitalizing Trademarks or Media Day? Seriously...Absolutely none of that is what I was referring to... Then what were you referring to? Gemini XL-200, hoping I didn't misunderstand your original post.

While discussing Senior Trip plans with Diamondbacker, I asked him which coaster he is more excited for- Thunder Run or Lightning Run? He chose Thunder Run. I think I'm equally excited for both.

Overbank is completed! http://themeparkreview.com/forum/files/1921032_753923404626754_1426504644_o.jpg Could only post the link as Photobucket is blocked for me right now.

I've been there once, and that was over two years ago. And yes I know, that white "paint" is everywhere on Raptor. It amazed me how much there was when I was there. Gemini XL-200, thankful that no Sea Gulls will be adding any white "paint" on Banshee.
-
I think Cedar Point should add those little spikes to the top of Raptor's lift that prevent Birds from landing on surfaces like that. Maybe that would keep it from being turned white.
-
Not this again? I posted general definitions. What's wrong with that? I supported calling it a Batwing...
-
A lot of manufacturers have unique names for their coaster elements, just like their coaster types. For example: Vekoma calls their (full circuit) Inverts "Suspended Looping Coasters". B&M also calls their Corkscrews "Flat Spins". Technically, a Batwing consists of a Reverse Side winder followed by a Sidewinder. The "Batwing" on Banshee is not a true Batwing (in my opinion) because its a Batwing is actually a Reverse Sidewinder into an Immelmann. But it is accepted as a Batwing because B&M and KI are calling that, which is perfectly ok because its so close to an actual Batwing. (I call it a Batwing as well since it's unique and there's not an official enthusiast name for it). Also, Arrow Dynamics called their Batwings "Boomerangs" (although their first ever they called it a "Kamikaze Curve"). Although, everyone calling it a Pretzel Knot are also correct. A Pretzel Knot is an enlarged version of the Batwing. So technically, the Batwing on Banshee is actually a Pretzel Knot. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roller_coaster_elements#Pretzel_knot http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roller_coaster_elements#Batwing http://vekoma.com/index.php/experience-thrill-coasters/suspended-looping-coaster Note: Element names are not completely agreed upon by all enthusiasts, so if you don't agree with that definition that is fine.

And Dane decided that we should follow the requests made by the park.^ So I think he decided that he wants it to be one that is highly affiliated with the park. People who have been non-compliant with the park's requests or who have complained about them have also, indirectly, been non-complaint with Dane. (i.e. Dane had to spend his own time to write a script for the site to help fix some of the Trademark issues.)
