homestar92 Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 An nslookup reveals that Banshee.com is hosted through Amazon Web Services and has an IP address of 184.72.241.13. Websites owned by Cedar Fair Entertainment Company are generally in the range of 66.129.xxx.xxx Banshee.com is likely NOT owned by Cedar Fair. Looks like they shoulda parked it. Then again, they don't even own Kingsisland.com...
bmbillups Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Thats true. If you remember Diamondback has its own website under kiDiamondback.com Just trying to think outside the box a little. Topics been a lil boring recently
intaminallday Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 what would be cool is if b&m invented a new wingrider type but its a invert, so basically gate keepers cars flipped upside down and the riders experience a x2 kind of a ride

Coaster Addict Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Maybe it will be in a secret location in the park and all the people in KIClub will get the text and once people see everyone going to one place we will see the announcement. just a thought because of the tweet saying that the people in KIClub will be the first to know You know what? That makes a lot of dang sense! 1
Khan Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 I've been lurking here for quite some time, and tonight decided to join just so I could prove that not all new members will immediately begin posting the exact same ideas debunked 65 pages ago.That being said.... Tried typing in Banshee.com this is what showed. It works! This is the default web page for this server. The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet. I wonder if that means Kings Island has the domain but hasnt added the content yet? Its a stretch but its all i can come up with for the decoding thread right now... This exact topic was discussed dozens of pages ago, the IP address was traced to Washington (Seattle, i believe) and it was decided this was simply a URL bought by an unnamed person (to protect his privacy as I remember) and not in any way associated with the park or Cedar Fair. 7
diamonbackandbeastlover Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 guys maybe all these scarecrows are signaling something for the haunt. I doubt this is true but i am just trying to think outside the box like bmbillups 1

'Tis but a marketing strategy.
ahank Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 (6/27/13) While our last source seemed fairly certain the new Kings Island coaster would be a Wing design, all the latest rumors come back to what I was thinking I would build if I ran the park a world record breaking B&M Inverted coaster. Sorry THE-BEAST Screamscape would report that it would be a Mr Hankey themed coaster with big turds as the trains if someone emailed Lance and told him that. Howdy Ho! Did someone say a Mr. Hanke themed coaster? I'm in luck!!

Though an IP address teaser would be cryptic and not something I'd put past Don. Unfortunately, in the case of IP addresses, each Octet (the set of numbers between the periods) is an 8-bit value and can range only from 000 to 255. The numbers in the coasterrumors post were 839.445, which unfortunately are not valid octets. But I must admit, that was very clever sleuthing. Good job! 3

locostitch Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 839.445 August 3, 9:44:5 notice what i turned red. coincidence or on purpose? Um...... you lost me can you please explain 1
BeastForever Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 All I think of when I look at it is Iron Maiden-Number of The Beast. Iron Maiden would be a good name for a coaster. Now don't get Twisted, Sister. 7
diamonbackandbeastlover Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 839.445 August 3, 9:44:5 notice what i turned red. coincidence or on purpose? Um...... you lost me can you please explain the numbers have 9.445 and the time next to august 3 is 9:44:5
Khan Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 839.445 August 3, 9:44:5 notice what i turned red. coincidence or on purpose? Is it coincidental or with reason you turned those numbers red? I'd have to guess you turned them red to demonstrate some point... Unfortunately, this is simply "coincidental"... and not anything at all if you don't forget to include the last digit of the time stamp, which seeing that there are no more numbers in the clue (its likely not a clue) would marginalize the usefulness of this "coincidence"
DiamondBackGirl Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Darn! After reading the last couple pages I REALLY want to go to the park tomorrow and see if anything shows up! EDIT: because I can't seem to type correctly on my phone lol 1
diamonbackandbeastlover Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 i think im gonna keep the twitter feed of Kings Island up and keep an eye on my phone see if anything comes up and if it does try to get a ride to the park or even walk as i live very close.
