geebs11 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Could it be possible that 'The Bat' is the 2014 attraction....but...the 'Banshee' is one of the new 'Haunt attractions' who knows....should probably just stop the speculation... and start speculating on where they can create room for the Intamin GIGA in 2019 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

specialk141 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 i doubt it will be "The Bat" i honestly have a hard time believing that the park would go with another "re-creation" or use of a current or former attractions name. SOB was a PR disaster. i'm not saying this coaster would be, but their luck has not been great with this type of thing. just my two cents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geebs11 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Mercury grand marquee = b&m Ferrari = Intamin Mantis = B&M MF = Intamin I didnt get the comparison until now...LOL. I thought he was implying Ferrari as in the coaster. But, he was basically saying B&M =**** and Intamin = GOLD. Should have known with YoungStud, who's a walking Intamin Ad! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheikra_rocks Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Vekoma slc's > b&m inverts Did you fall and hit your head? Ride too many SLC's? If SLC's did not shuffle between the rails, they would be more enjoyable. I do have to say though, the SLC at SFNE was surprisingly not as rough as others I have ridden. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McSalsa Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Hmm...I think I may have just noticed something on that leaked Bat page no one else did...it says the ride will open April 27th, 2014...guess what? That's a SUNDAY. Has Kings Island ever opened on a SUNDAY? I don't think so...and why does the page just say 2014 in the website location instead of the ride name? Hmm...yeah, I'm thinking this may well have been a DIVERsion now... I did love The Bat logo though. Perhaps they are teasing us with what they may have in mind for our next coaster after this one, to gauge our interest levels, aka "see how we respond to it?"...?This Kings Island PR. It be full of win. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For...what it's worth... Hmm...The (Original) Bat opening on a Sunday sounds interesting, but these days, Kings Island usually opens on a Saturday in Late April, with the following Sunday being rented out. If "The Bat" is Project 2014, and the opening day for it is correct, does that mean the company that rented it out gets to ride it before the GP on Opening Day does, forcing the GP to wait until the first weekend of May or something!?!? That would just be cruel to the GP...OPENING DAY 2014..."Big Shiny New Coaster. Fully Tested and Ready 2 Go. But you can't ride it until next week." I seriously doubt Kings Island would do something like that... Update: According to research and rcdb.com, The Bat did open on a Sunday- Sunday, April 26th, 1981. So there is that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanna Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Like others on the thread, I'm just having trouble believing that were getting a Wing coaster. I'm still not 100% convinced its an invert. Don has played an epic game of Clue with us since the beginning. So if its a Floorless, Standup, Dive, Invert, or a WingRider, I for one have had a blast on this thread. I'm looking forward to queuing whatever the attraction is. It has been fun, at least for me. I can't tell a clue from a misdirect, but I can't wait to ride whatever it is, so the plan worked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will reuse the old sob station and the cable lift will start from the station. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timw725 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Think about it guys. Diamondback had its own website. It was not a part of the KI website. That 2014 page was mind numbingly simple. Its almost impossible to accidentally make a web page view-able and open like that on mistake. Other than footers theres no evidence of an invert (correct me if im wrong). Don has hinted several times with the word wing. All this to say I believe the name of this POSSIBLE wing will be Banshee or possibly something we havent heard yet. I mean, what would owls, scarecrows, and Celtic graves have to do with bats? Also, many people associated the words bat and KI together with deaths they believe are true (obviously false). So what does a owl have to do with a bat? Keeping bats out of your home is as simple as placing one of their natural enemies, the owl, near their roosting place. Our bat is roosting in the Action Zone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_BEASTmaster Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Could it be possible that 'The Bat' is the 2014 attraction....but...the 'Banshee' is one of the new 'Haunt attractions' Not going to happen. The park just announced what the 3 new haunts are and Banshee isn't one of them. They are Bloodbath Bayou, Delta Delta Die, and Board to Death. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
