Nick_Plummer Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Has it been revealed yet what is being done in the old target yet?
Adventuro Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 It looks like they've removed all the tinted concrete, and have begun filling it with something. I really am not sure what they are doing for sure.
stashua123 Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Maybe they are moving the plaza for Banshee there. I mean as people say renderings are not always final. 2
Thrill_Biscuit Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Could it be a foundation for a locker kiosk?
Adventuro Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 I would hope they wouldn't put the lockers right in the middle. But it's definitely a possibility. I would imagine they would go a little closer to the bathrooms. Well that's just my guess. 2
TheCrypt Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Stashua: I would think it's pretty silly to put the plaza in the middle of the midway when the ride's entrance is so far away. TB: I could understand where you're going with it, and I wouldn't necessarily be mad with this idea, but I feel like the lockers would be best placed by the entrance of Banshee since the lockers are intended for the ride. 6
TheBEASTunchained Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Crews are now starting to arrive at the Banshee construction site...... ....and the arrival of the first train could be any day now.....(including today) These webcams can be found here. 4
upstop Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Lots of activity going on now...looks like ants at a picnic. 3
calakapepe Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Lots of activity now that the cold isn't unbearable. Looks like some sort of vehicle in front of the station, not sure what is it/ what it has brought or is taking.There's a yellow... digger?... across the pond from the bier garten. side note, whatever landscaping was done to the right of Adventure Express looks nice and vibrant at this time stamp. Looks like the benches are gone. 4
Adventuro Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Adventure Express will have a much more open entrance, which will be cool. I think they want Banshee to be shown off as much as they can. Similar to Diamondback actually. Notice how the AZ circle is 100% gone. 3
Kat Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Is it just me not seeing things right, or is the ball cage for slingshot gone? Do they put that up for the winter to protect it?
CoasterMyths79 Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 The cage/ball thingy is definetly gone. 1
IndyGuy4KI Posted February 3, 2014 Author Posted February 3, 2014 The DB and Banshee Cam 2 are not showing up for me right now... EDIT: A few minutes and a few refreshes of the page fixed my issue.
jcgoble3 Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Is it just me not seeing things right, or is the ball cage for slingshot gone? Do they put that up for the winter to protect it? Like any other ride vehicle, it probably has to be disassembled, inspected, and reassembled every year. 7
XGatorHead 8904 Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 I stand corrected. My New Jersey friends told me this song is about their Allentown. It is not. I learned something today. Methinks your Jersey friends never listened fully to the lyrics: "Well we're waiting here in Allentown, for the Pennsylvania we never found." 5
Thrill_Biscuit Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 ♫ 'Cause it wasn't in New Jer-sey -yay-yay-yay -yay-yay-yay -yay-Ye-Yay, Yay Yayayayay [Clink! Clunk!] Yeah, hey, hey...Oh, oh, oh...♫ Actually, the Jersey Shore is mentioned in the song: (at 0:38) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZV2jvngnvqg 3
upstop Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Interesting stuff happening now in Octoberfest....It looks like the age and weight game may be gone...can't tell for sure....Plus the black top from Festhouse over to that area might have been removed. Shadows could be playing tricks here..... Edit: Stones are also being placed to shore up the edge of the pond where they have been digging. Edit: Age and weight is still there. Can't tell if the black top is gone...

Gplez90 Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 I was looking back at some of my post and saw that i had posted "26 track pieces to go" on Jan 13th. It took them a mere 10 days to install 26 track pieces! Thats just over 1/4 of the entire ride in 10 days!!! Again, i can't congratulate these guys enough for their hard work and dedication! 9
Adventuro Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 They are definitely putting in brick pavers for AZ. I know it's just my opinion, but I personally feel that. 2
KI FANATIC 37 Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 I would not be complaining if You were right! 1
MysticsTimber Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Banshee construction crew is back at it this morning! Webcams can be seen here. > https://www.visitkingsisland.com/online-fun/webcams Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3
UnrealNightmare Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 It looks like they are pouring concrete behind the Banshee station. 1
Adventuro Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 I can't wait till it's all done, and there's nice grass everywhere. But theres a lot of activity around the station and AZ plaza. 3
steveinphoenix Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Perhaps the old target area is going to be a water feature or fountain of somekind. Or possible a large planter type area of sorts.. Just a thought. 3
flightoffear1996 Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 I best testing will need to start here in a few weeks. I can't beleive how the time has flown by. 1
upstop Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Just a thought.... wouldn't it be really cool if this showed up in the circle in the middle of the Action Zone??? 17
steveinphoenix Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Does anyone know what that yellow thing is that appears to be on top of the station?
