    We did not mention all the statistics during the announcement because statistics are not what make a roller coaster great; it's the ride experience it delivers that makes it great.

  • It's good to see me, isn't it? No need to respond! That was rhetorical. Under 30 days until Banshee makes its public debut! We can't wait for you to come out and experience this ride.

    We have guests that are more excited about our live shows than our roller coasters, that visit the park specifically for the shows. For these guests, the Cirque Imagine announcement was as exciting as

It's a Batwing, not a pretzel.

We're still on that?

Apparently. Pretzels are VERY different experiences. When even the park's PR person comes on here and says the park and B&M say it's a Batwing, I think I'd listen.

That's just me.

I'm funny that way.

Words matter.

I agree, words matter.

Though, pretzel KNOTS have very similar experiences to batwings.

I don't know why anyone ever said pretzel loop.

And yeah, it's a batwing, officially. A unique one, but officially a batwing.. that uniqueness is what causes argument. http://rcdb.com/1292.htm

Just because it's official, doesn't mean it's always the best answer (Meaning IMO for this case). Though, it's usually the best answer.

I've never said pretzel loop.

I think the pace they are going today if all parts are on site The Bat wing will be finished

Conversation on tower:

JQ Public: "Wow look at that pretzel loop!"

Coaster enthusiast: "It's called a Batwing."

JQ Public: "Really.....whatever."

LOL

Looks like they have track and supports ready to be lifted into place and finish the batwing.

I'm just going to call it a Batzel to any JQ Public I here talking about it. Just to throw people off. You know, start some rumors and stuff, I'm fun like that.

I would love to see the public's reply to the "Batzel". That would be golden.

Are you guys talking about the part of Banshee that goes upside down?

Indeed we are.

Hopefully we'll see a completed batwing by the end of this week!

im thinking we can see it done as early as late tomorrow morning!

At the rate they're going right now, we might see it done later today.

Edit: Another track piece is being installed.

^^ maybe today. Looks like one more support and two more pieces of track and that loopy thing or whatever it's called ( :P) will be completed....

"Loopy Thing". I like it. It's not a batwing, it's a loopy thing. :P

That will probably be more of what the General Public will call it then anything.

The part where it goes upside down then goes like this.

(Wildly tracing my finger through the air)

I could see that..." It goes woosh....and and and then zoom...and then woah...then woosh again then .....oh oh oh woosh...."

While your in line for Banshee, Ill be Riding Diamondback..... Then going to Banshee B)

Just remember the queue for Diamond Back will be renamed to Banshee overflow in 2014....

I did something like that with Diamondback. After I got my Diamondback ride in on opening day I rode Son of Beast 3 straight times since that Action Zone was dead still at that point.
