DropZone99 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 What was Son of Beast's line like on opening day of 09? I got to KI VERY early and rode Diamondack first thing. Right as the park opened we went straight to Son of Beast and got to ride it 2-3 times without line at all. By 11am the line wasn't too bad (maybe 15) but at it's busiest part of the day the line got around 45 minutes if I remember right. I ended up getting five rides on Diamondback that day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zayzayd13 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 The night POV of Banshee I thought was cool. If they can have fog at the base of the Batwing with the tombstones that would be incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackparanoia Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Ok dumb question time. The pov is 1:54, but the ride is supposed to be 2:40. Why is that? Is it just moving faster in the video compared to real life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastForever Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 The animated rendering stops before the train returns fully to the station, so I'm guessing from there it would take about an extra 46 seconds, thus would give you 2:40. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwitb Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Noticed three things today after the announcement... 1) Banshee Twists are now being sold at Ice Scream Zone! 2) A Banshee themed Plinko game is now setup in front of Delirium for front of the line passes and other coupons. 3) While riding Flight Deck, I saw several pallets of stone pavers back by the old tram cars. I think we'll be seeing that never ending concrete go away this off-season... Is it purple? Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4 Beta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwitb Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Banshee Twist?! They get purple ice cream?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It's blue ice cream with 10x the food dye twisted with pink vanilla ice cream with an equal amount of dye... Can't imagine what this stuff does to our insides... Doesn't sound appetizing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll be seeing that never ending concrete go away this off-season... That is awesome! Sorry, this might sound dumb. But what is the "Never Ending Concrete" ? Well, I meant the midway there in Action Zone with the target on it. "Never ending" probably wasn't the right phrase, but never the less, it looks like it'll be getting spruced up! If this is the case, then I'm double happy. I'd love for the cement of AZ to be replaced with paving. I watch the POV video and think the Banshee is a really beautiful work of art, it would be great if the rest of AZ matched it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the ground next time you are around an Ice cream stand. That's what it does to your insides! Freaked my babysitter out one time because I gave my daughter a blue cone before we left the park and the next day, lets just say it doesn't come out the same color as it went in. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. I'm new to this, but that sure seems like a long time to return to the station. Not complaining, just surprised. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I am so happy with Banshee! Got myself a pink tshirt right after the announcement. which reminds me...a guy in a KIC shirt came up and asked me how much shirts were. I answered him but before I could introduce myself he was gone. anyway if you were that guy. hi! lol I saw a bunch of you today but I am super shy. If that guy was wearing glasses and a fanny pack and looked like he hadn't shaved in several days, that was me. Sorry for ditching you so fast. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creed Bratton Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 A thing of the past? That's why there have been inverts made recently (2010 and 2012). Yup a thing of the past. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a complete idiot chose this coaster, you are calling all Cedar Fair executives idiots (including Matt; the CEO) as they have to approve all investments for the parks within the chain. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
