It most likely for an incline turn around! Ride Warriors..Not just a coaster rider, but a way of life! Is a cobra roll what's on FOF after the launch or is that a cobra flip? I think that the footer will be for a cobra roll/flip/whatever is on Flight of Fear thingey. Then why would you ask a question if you already know it all? Ride Warriors..Not just a coaster rider, but a way of life! I just couldn't remember if it was flip or roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything is possible at this point. That's a very good point! I guess we will see what the next 8 days bring us! Wouldn't we be seeing Clifford or any of his pals? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's like saying because no Wild Mouse Coasters have been installed in a while, they are a thing of the past. No Wild Mouse Coasters have been installed in a while? You might want to talk to the people at Knott's about that. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think like purple and green or at least darker colors would make more sense. But to be completely honest I really don't think the color will stop anyone from riding Yes!

Rcoaster10 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I honestly think this will be an invert, but I still think that it might be a dive coaster and surprise everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thoe124 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I have a theory. I really don't think it will be called the Banshee. There are 3 categories of names at ki. Names that describe the ride, things in flight , and animals. In 07' they made Firehawk. (In flight) in 09' they made Diamondback. (Animal) so the new ride should be named something that describes the ride! Besides who thinks an old woman with a comb is creepy anyway?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fryoj Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 The triangle footer doesn't mean anything. There is one on Behemoth where two pieces of track come close to each other and they use the same footer to brace both pieces. No special element. The ones on KI 2014 are probably just where the turnaround at the top of the lift hill is. Its easier to pour a single footer for 3 supports instead of three separate. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
