Adventuro Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 I think since most of Diamondback is back away from the midway it gets quieted by all the trees and sheet distance.
Coasterama Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 Looks like the drop is going to be steep. Virtually straight down! 5
BeastForever Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 The first drop's going to look sick from the midway. 10
calakapepe Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 I can't wait to ride Adventure Express and see a train drop off during the first part of AE's... well, adventure. 8
Tanna Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 I'm still a little dissapointed the track color does not exactly match up with the renderings...I like the real colors almost better. The photos taken from the entrance are a good indication of how this ride will look from the entrance.This is going to look great! I look forward to seeing it in person Saturday! I have only been able to see photos. I hope that it looks different than the photos though... On my computer it looks like a very similar red to Diamondback, and I was hoping for it to be closer to purple.I've heard that in person it is almost magenta. No complaints from me, magenta is my school color! (And rather unsurprisingly, people do not take our male athletics uniforms very seriously...) I haven't seen it in person yet, either, and I'm looking forward to just seeing it, much less riding it it next year (hopefully).
razmataz99 Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 ^I was at KI today, and the tracks looked pretty much the same colors of Diamondbacks track IMO.
calakapepe Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 It is a maroon-magenta color. And it does pose a difference to Diamondback's.. though, undeniably different from the renderings, as opposed to the supports pretty much matching the rendering color. 1
jdawg1998 Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 The park does have neighbors... ...like my grandparents! They're already complaining about Banshee. My family is moving into the neighborhood right next to theirs and our house is in the back of the neighborhood; you can see every ride at Kings Island popping out over the trees. I can't wait to hear the screams from Banshee next year! 9
calakapepe Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 I can't imagine the noise being that big a burden in a house.. Wish I could imagine though..Seriously though, hearing the park from buildings within the park, I thought they weren't that annoying IMO (like in office buildings in the park) And it can't be any worse than a train sounding off in the middle of the night aside from durability of the noises. I could manage sleeping next door, I think.Though I don't KNOW.
BeastForever Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 I'd LOVE to fall asleep every night to the wonderful sounds of roller coasters. But ya know, that's just me... 4
fanofFirehawk Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Once you slept though a an ariel bombing or two... 1

I could manage sleeping next door, I think. Though I don't KNOW. Not in the house, but you can hear it when you're outside. Plus, when you're in your 70's, it can get pretty annoying...I guess. I can't wait to hear KI though. Plus, you can see the fireworks! 7
calakapepe Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Yeah, I guess if you like to sit outside and enjoy peace and quiet.. Though, thanks to mosquitoes and my reluctance to apply repellent, I cannot relate. 1
upstop Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 What I find that is amazing is that an 83 year old can't hear a conversation when you are three feet away but can hear an ambulance coming from 5 miles away (that the person talking to them can't hear)...true story.... I can't imagine that Banshee will be anywhere as loud as SOB's lift hill was... 5
TombRaiderFTW Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 I didn't initially think Banshee would be as visible as it is in the park, but I discovered today that it's fairly visible from any standpoint. You can see it from Planet Snoopy. Probably Rivertown, too, if you stand in the right spot. It absolutely towers over The Racer end of Coney Mall. I'm also really interested in the views from Adventure Express come next year. It looks like the zero-G and batwing will be really close to the turn through the orange frames (don't know what else to call them) on AE. Should offer a really neat perspective. 4

The Interpreter Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 It comes with experience. I sometimes wish it worked on Internet forums. 9
jcgoble3 Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 I developed selective hearing as a preteen. Came in very handy at times. I still have it, too, though it's losing power as there are some things I can't tune out anymore. Trolls are one of those things.

Don't reply, close the window, and do something productive.

After riding Adventure Express Friday night, I can tell you that Banshee will be very visible. While sitting in the station and exiting it you are looking directly at the lift hill! And yes, I think the batwing will be pretty close as well. 3
thedevariouseffect Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 I can't imagine the noise being that big a burden in a house.. Wish I could imagine though.. Thankfully prior management is gone...May have had to put the coaster in a box to keep the noise down 3
The Interpreter Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 But he didn't live in Kings Island's parking lot. 4
thedevariouseffect Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 She'd still find a way to complain...I only saw her once, and the facial expressions of her and the few people around her told me everything I needed to know... That and the blatantly funny "Judy K eats here in Johnny Rockets" Adult humor kicking in, go find it if you can
jcgoble3 Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 ^ Which star wars boards are you a member of? I need to join one. The Jedi Council Forums: http://boards.theforce.net/ (where I'll warn you that they won't put up with your trolling like the mods here have). Also Wookieepedia (the Star Wars version of Wikipedia): http://wookieepedia.com/ (where I'll warn you that we also won't put up with your trolling, and I'm an admin at Wookieepedia, so I will ban you myself if you start disrupting things and somebody else doesn't beat me to it). 3
thedevariouseffect Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 And this is where I come in and say this is why you're not an admin here... Yes it may seem like trolling at times, and at some times I think he may do it a bit to get a rise out of all of you because to be honest some of your reactions are beautiful and almost sitcom ish...Never have I seen people stand up and defend inanimate objects and companies they don't even work for or are affiliated with, with such loyalty and hostility...There are times I don't even agree with him, but it all does come back to and is his personal belief and opinion, and I can do nothing to correct that. The only things I will jump in to correct is using the wrong information, or to put a bit of logic behind his opinion...Now, and as I have in the past I will defend his right to have an opinion...if he wants to post it, even if it seems redundant and nonstop, he can do it..No different than the how many SOB should have done this, or we should have done that, ect that I saw in the past while lurking..or Flight Deck should be The Bat posts... 2
jcgoble3 Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 And I'll point out that Wookieepedia operates differently than KIC. While YS's Intamin arguments are debatable here as to whether they constitute trolling, similar persistent arguments on Wookieepedia would result in being banned for the simple offense of "disruption". KIC runs a fairly loose ship, with the mods taking a mostly hands-off approach and not handing out bans except for more egregrious offenses. Wookieepedia is run a lot, lot tighter. If your idea, opinion, or proposal was rejected by the community, you are expected to either shut up about it or, if you want to continue pushing it, acknowledge the reasons people gave for rejecting it and adjust your proposal accordingly. Continuing to push the same rejected idea over and over without rational reasoning or adjustments to reflect opposing opinions, as YoungStud has done here, will quickly result in a ban for disruption and trolling there. Anyway, we're getting WAY off-topic. Who's got construction pictures from today?!
