Yeah I've been to two of them...the first one was still my favorite...the second one just made me relive my summer memories..

I will say, I do miss being a ride op, but not the drama and bs that comes with the job. I think that's why I like the military, you come in, get the job done, be on your day

      You know, I chuckle at this thread. The more I read it... which is pretty much daily now... the more I become amused. Why? It's a near carbon copy of about a dozen other threads related to KI throu

      For those waiting for when we'll announce what we're building for the future, you might want to grab yourself a Snickers bar. It's going to be awhile. We still have the majority of the 2013 season

    I do enjoy their off season tours...

    In true KIC "decoding" fashion, post #9,000 was off-topic. :P:)

    On to 10,000!

    I got me a king size peanut butter Snickers at Speedway...

    I have a feeling the Banshee is just a diversion, it only cost $275 to file a trademark, and attorney fees, but FUN has corporate attorneys so its just the filing fee. The official name trade mark will likely be filed on the announcement day, so it will not leak.

    Or FUN is going to pull out 20 year old artwork and clear out some warehouse space that Banshee recalled items have been sitting in.

    I still have a gut feeling that it will be called Banshee after my URL find I mentioned this morning.

    But when you type in anything else, you don't get that. I could be wrong with what I'm "decoding" out of this, but this is just my opinion.

    I would be surprised if the name was Banshee. I think the park wants the name to be a surprise.

    Replacing the momentous SoB and having construction going on for months now, yes I would say that is hype along wiith the tweets.

    YoungStud, you're disappointment is your own fault. You hyped it up in your own mind. It seems you want a 350' Intamin giga that goes 98mph with sharp turns and ejector airtime, which in and of itself is fine, if that's what you want. I think anything less than that is going to be a disappointment to you. A lot of people seem to hype it up in their minds, and that's what causes the letdown when they see it's not what they envisioned in their heads. But KI hasn't done anything to hype this up to be anything more than what it is.....and they haven't even told us what it is yet. So any and all speculation by anyone at KIC is based on their own fantasies and interpretations. The hype is not fed by KI at all.

    uhh this annoumcement is to much

    Annoumcement?? You aren't by chance on a bumpy road, are you?

    Type in anything if this is the case, then we also have a new ride called melgibson

    That's not my point.

    If you type in https://www.visitkingsisland.com/2015, you end up at the home page.

    If your type in https://www.visitkingsisland.com/2014, you get the 404.

    If you type in https://www.visitkingsisland.com/Banshee, you get the 404.

    If you type in https://www.visitkingsisland.com/Bansheee, (or anything else) you end up at the homepage. (This one has an extra "e")

    "2014" and "Banshee" are the only things that give you a 404 error.

    NOTE: If you click on the links from here, you just go to the homepage, to get the 404 error, you have to type in the rest of the url.

    I still have a gut feeling that it will be called Banshee after my URL find I mentioned this morning.

    You got redirected due to a 404...I wouldnt call that a find

    The fact that http://www.visitkingsisland.com/Banshee directs to a 404 page, whereas http://www.visitkingsisland.com/anyslug does not, indicates that the Banshee url is defined. Slugs that aren't defined redirect back to the homepage.

    One plausible reason would be that updates to a configuration got transferred to the production server before the new content. (Hopefully they don't push the content the day before the announcement, like Cedar Point did with Gatekeeper.)

    Rides aren't linked directly off of the root directory, they are all in subdirectories like: https://www.visitkingsisland.com/rides/Thrill-Rides-12-14-11-44/The-Beast

    Not new attractions. Gatekeeper and Gold Striker had their own pages:

    https://www.cagreatamerica.com/goldstriker

    https://www.cedarpoint.com/Gatekeeper

    I'm pretty sure Diamondback did too.

    Nope, it used the old way that Cedar Fair handled new ride urls, just like Leviathan. (Cedar Fair changed the way they put new attraction web pages in 2013 with Gatekeeper)

    http://leviathan.canadaswonderland.com/

    The ride name was not a subpage of the main url.

    EDIT: Diamondback had its own website all together:

    http://www.kiDiamondback.com/

    If you type in https://www.visitkingsisland.com/2015, you end up at the home page.

    If your type in https://www.visitkingsisland.com/2014, you get the 404.

    If you type in https://www.visitkingsisland.com/Banshee, you get the 404.

    If you type in https://www.visitkingsisland.com/Bansheee, (or anything else) you end up at the homepage. (This one has an extra "e")

    "2014" and "Banshee" are the only things that give you a 404 error.

    NOTE: If you click on the links from here, you just go to the homepage, to get the 404 error, you have to type in the rest of the url.

    Very interesting, thanks for the insight! Looks like we are getting a B&M Invert named Banshee in 2014!

    its the same URl format they use for all rides

    https://www.visitkingsisland.com/rides/Thrill-Rides-12-14-11-44/The-Beast

    https://www.visitkingsisland.com/rides/Thrill-Rides-12-14-11-44/Diamondback

    When you tag Diamondback on the end of https://www.visitkingsisland.com https://www.visitkingsisland.com/Diamondback it takes you to the homepage as if you typed in anything after https://www.visitkingsisland.com

    You don't seem to be understanding me (which is fine, I understand :)). For new rides, CF uses "www.parkname.com/newridename". The url you using is the general url used for all of the parks attractions.

    Also, new rides tend to have two pages (or so it seems).

    https://www.cedarpoint.com/rides/Roller-Coasters/Gatekeeper-NEW-in-2013 (this is a similar "general" url that you are referring to)

    https://www.cedarpoint.com/Gatekeeper

    :)

    EDIT: After you edited your original post, that is because Diamondback had its own website all together (for whatever reason). http://www.kiDiamondback.com/

    No i understand. When I type in https://www.visitkingsisland.com/Diamondback it takes me to homepage not Diamondbacks page and to get to Diamondbacks page it has to be this format https://www.visitkingsisland.com/rides/Thrill-Rides-12-14-11-44/Diamondback

    i understand that on cedarpoints website it works that way, but not for visitkingsisland

    No i understand when I type in https://www.visitkingsisland.com/Diamondback it takes me to homepage not Diamondbacks page and to get to Diamondbacks page it has to be this format https://www.visitkingsisland.com/rides/Thrill-Rides-12-14-11-44/Diamondback

    i understand that on cedarpoints website it works that way, but not for visitkingsisland

    Because Diamondback never and still doesn't have that URL!

    It works the exact same way as Cedar Point...just minor differences in URL formats (which doesn't change anything).

    EDIT: Don is probably calling the webmasters/developers over to laugh at us! :D

    If you don't like talking about URL's, you made a good choice. :)
