Gplez90 Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Plot twist: Clifford work is not done............ (DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUNNN) I freaking wish.... 4
homestar92 Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Clifford carried that weight a long time. Now golden slumbers fill his eyes, Smiles awake him when they ride. Sleep, Mr. Clifford, do not cry; And I will sing a lullaby. And in the end, the FUN you take is equal to the FUN you make. And while we're on the subject of Banshee: I want you so bad, it's driving me mad. Something in the way she loops attracts me like no other coaster... And other Beatles references, because the loop is round. Sorry if I made this thread weird. 14
Kat Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Do we not care at all about CJ?!?! I mean, he did a lot of work, too, ya know!!!! Let's not forget that it was CJ that built the whole back half of the coaster down there in the valley!!! I'm going to miss him just as much as I will miss Clifford. They both worked very hard 10

They both worked very hard For the same reason people care about Batman and not Robin. Bugs Bunny and not Daffy Duck. Fred Flintstone and not Barney. See I intentionally left Rubble off Barney, because nobody cares lol. 6

Executioner822 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 kind of funny i wore my Banshee shirt today... available at many shops located at Kings Island in mason, ohio. Banshee is a registered trademark of Cedar Fair. As such, it should always be capitalized. Mason and Ohio are proper nouns. As such, they too should be capitalized. right... well if you want to be all high and mighty and correct people just casually typing then you are mistaken about Banshee being capitalized. i believe in the trademarked logo Banshee is all capitalized so it should be Banshee. trademarked or not im here to talk about the park and the rides in it without looking for faults in people's typing. thank you 2
Adventuro Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Actually, when writing logos, it is incorrect to write them exactly as the logo looks. So even if Banshee is "Banshee" it is still supposed to be written as "Banshee". English has a lot of rules, I know. 1
TombRaiderFTW Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 We should seriously set this to music; it would be easier to post a link to a snazzy musical number than keep retyping this: Correcting people's capitalization (or the lack thereof) of trademarks is not a personal attack; it's self-defense for the forum. I repeat: it is not a personal attack on you or your posts. The administration has requested that we publicly correct each other on the forums when trademarks are improperly capitalized. The administration has asked that trademarks be properly capitalized to protect the site from potential subpoenas. The administration has defended those who correct people's corrections of trademarks missing proper capitalization. It's a minor request with big consequences. And yes, it does matter on a seemingly small site like this. That's why all this is happening in the first place. It's reactive, not proactive. Perhaps it would help the site become more capitalization-aware if we were friendlier about it or explained the context of our posts. Not everyone who posts here has time to catch every post, including the ones that explain why we suddenly seem to be grammatically critical of trademark names. Can't say anything about the "Mason" and "Ohio" corrections, though. The guy just really likes Mason and Ohio? 7
Executioner822 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 im giving you all the revenge squint eye look because there's no emoticon for that but whatever yeah regualtions and trademarks woooooo. Banshee... there ya go. 2
thedevariouseffect Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Just follow the rules, CF high ups have asked for it, Admins have asked for it, and people here personally have asked for it. Follow the ideas and heed the warnings, we're not asking much. Upsetting the park should be the last thing anyone here should want to do. CF does alot for us, when they ask something little, just return the favor, it's not hard. When it's not followed it makes us look bad. Last I will say is consequences could be possible for what I've been told. Heed that as a last warning, that should give you a clue of how high up and how serious corporate takes this 8
Diamondbill Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I know how much I stress out when I'm replacing 20 feet of steel brake tubing in a truck wondering if it's going to line up, I can't imagine what these guys feel going 4124 feet wondering the same thing. 7

fryoj Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Does anyone have a link to the TOS? The link above is broken. 1

PyroKinesis Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Whether someone asked you to capitalize proper nouns or not, not doing so is just pure laziness. 13
OpSonofBeast Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Can we....I don't know....get back to the point of this forum? I'm glad we all went to law school about trademarks and all but I really just want to read about Banshee and not how to properly hit the shift key.... 12
XjoshhyX Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Can we....I don't know....get back to the point of this forum? I'm glad we all went to law school about trademarks and all but I really just want to read about Banshee and not how to properly hit the shift key.... I second this motion. All in favor? 6
TheBEASTunchained Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Activity at the Banshee construction site this morning.......Early this morning......As in 5:40 A.M....... (This webcam can be found on visitkingsisland.com) 6
LoraX Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I was at work at 5:15 this morning. I am happy to work in a warm office. Kudos to those guys (and gals) that get out in such cold weather to work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 6
UnrealNightmare Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I wonder when the pull-through will begin. 6
UnrealNightmare Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 When they pull a partial train through the course to test clearances and track alignment. 5
sikkinixx99 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Thanks for the info. Would love to see a video of that!! 2
RailRider Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Looks like an early morning for @KingsIslandPR Watching the sun come up from the Banshee site. https://twitter.com/kingsislandpr 3

sikkinixx99 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Wonder if Don Helbig was there so early cause the trains have arrived?? 3
Thrill_Biscuit Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 The only thing missing is dramatic music... the suspense is killing me... again. 7
Diamondbacker Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 That picture is really neat and weird at the same time. The paint looks red and gray. 9
Thrill_Biscuit Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Looks eerily like a Robert Ballard image from deep under the ocean... 3
