Starting to Decode 2014

[THE_BEASTmaster]

If you go to the park's main page, the countdown is still orange instead of blue.

[LordSkippy]

My mind has been blown.

And now I'm hung up on the implications.

[BoddaH1994]

Hehehe!

So for all those who believe those prints HAVE to be 100% legit:

Still don't believe KI's marketing department is unwilling to put great effort to keep us guessing?

Well done Don & crew, well done!

I think (although I ASSURE you that I don't know) that The Bat thing was put there on purpose. When it founds its way onto the Decoding thread, it served its purpose and was eliminated.

Well played, KI.

[CharleyTheDinosaur]

Has Ed Alonzo been teaching Don the art of misdirection?

[Hoeter]

Don has the grin of a cheshire cat on his face right now. I guarantee it!

[Dvo]

You're all wrong. It's an Intamin Flume ride. Kenton's Revenge!

[Browntggrr]

Honestly, this is great FUN!

I would LOVE to keep this uncertainty going past Thursday.

[LordSkippy]

Everything we know is a lie.

We can't trust anybody anymore.

Not even ourselves.

Even the cake!

See if anyone gets this one...

[tubaman]

Well...I have no idea what is going on anymore. I mean, I didn't beforehand but now I'm even more uncertain.

That being said...I really love The Bat logo that they produced.

[calakapepe]

Is the area set aside for the station really long enough for 7 car trains? And also, is that storage shed area really wide enough for three wing-rider trains??

I ask this because the answer to both of these, from my GUESSES, are no. (judging off of Raptor, Swarm, and Wild Eagle.) MAYBE the station is, but no way the storage shed is big enough.

No way ours is wide enough.

I've convinced myself this is not a wing-rider (unless it's a new kind)

[Maglados]

Nobody!!! My shadow is saying things.... It says " We will be getting a wooden winged water coaster." NOOOO!!

[The Interpreter]

The quiet ones are guilty.

[LongLiveTheSmurfRide]

Even the cake!

Portalicious.

Anyone ever run a comb through a bat's fur?

[beastfan11]

This is hilarious. Don, can I buy you a beer?

I'm not kidding.

[The Interpreter]

Ride The Racer with him, too.

Please.

[beastfan11]

Don, can I buy you a beer and ride The Racer with you? Please? O'Terpy made it sound like fun.

[CharleyTheDinosaur]

Don, can I buy you a beer and ride The Racer with you? Please? O'Terpy made it sound like fun.

Not at the same time I hope.

[Sonofbeast2.0]

What if this is a dueling coaster. One is Banshee the other is The Bat...

[calakapepe]

That''d be awesome, though I feel like we'd see another area for a station by now.

I'm still hoping for an invert despite hope leading to disappointment, unless you're lucky.

Honestly, its hard to tell from pictures. I thought the footings for Gatekeeper's station was small but once you see it in person, its huge.

So was all of this really on the site?

[LordSkippy]

Is it just me, or does the image of the wing rider trains have a bat-like lead car?

EDIT: Removed word CGI because its not CGI

[LongTimeLurker]

The Banshee and The Bat. Same track, different trains. One forward, one backwards.

[GigaG]

Has anybody noticed that the orange-tinted picture in the background is Gatekeeper and not a new CGI of "Bat"?

[malem]

Well played, KI.

Upon further examination of the site, I agree with you. Rob Decker even said during Gatekeeper's announcement that they liked the response they got from that "error".

Some evidence:

• The orange background of the page, named BAT-31.jpg, is a photoshopped copy of Gatekeeper's page's background, complete with Gatekeeper's rendering.
• Examining the page source, it was modified with a WYSIWYG editor. Other Cedar Fair sites have not been. (cross-threading!)
• From a generic ride page, the only things changed are a few images, some of the placeholder text, and the orange-ified Gatekeeper background. Again, with a WYSIWYG editor.

There's no way this is related to the real site which will presumably launch Thursday night. Cedar Fair is more professional than that.

[CharleyTheDinosaur]

Back away from the ledge YoungStud. Everything will be ok.

[KI FANATIC 37]

I'm going for two hours and this. Wow! Amazing!

It's not CGI, it's a photshopped picture of Gatekeeper.
