ChainDog Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Any ideas of when Media Day details will be announced?
APE Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 10-14 days before media day I believe is what was said. 1

Kat Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Who asked about pouring concrete for the queue lines? It sure as heck looks like they did. There is (what looks like) a lot of freshly poured concrete back there, and it looks like that will be quite a large queue line area I hope they tarp it like they have with most other queue lines so we aren't standing out in the sun baking!

shark6495 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Now I know what I want to be when I grow up. Expect long hours and low low pay. But the perks do add up. I got to go to many OSU sporting events, hang on the field during football games, see the Destroyers and Blue Jackets. When I was in NY, I got to meet some very interesting people and had almost set up an event to attempt to break a roller coaster record as a radio publicity event. The last one fell through due to management at the radio station not wanting to take on the liability. (A few may remember when I was on here and wanted to do something similar to a ride at KI, but the radio bosses didnt enjoy the idea of me traveling to OHIO, so I picked a NY park that paid advertising with us). I wouldn't pursue that career because media days allows some reporters to ride first. The chances of being those reporters are slim, being on a news station that is covering a ride that you would even like to cover is slim, and being that particular reporter to ride is again... slim. Depends on what station etc. If you get in at a smaller station and can swing the bosses to send you (think Zanesville) then its possible. To be a reporter, some say go to college and some say you dont need it. What you need to do is to be able to do field work, look good, speak well, and write a concise story. 4
BB1 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Here is what I have to say about the max height. Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo ! Darn caps lock. (If you get that sentence, you deserve some sort of prize that you will never get, so take a breath of air and consider that your own prize that you gave yourself instead) I'm interested in what we will see under the tent now, yet, I have heard that we cannot camp at that region? 7
Gplez90 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Do you think we could expect to see the shades over the queues to match Banshee's theme? Not just match the color scheme? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1
silver2005 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 My gut feeling is that circle is where the lockers will be located.
ChainDog Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 I hope not, I would rather see a nice seating area like the Gatekeeper plaza has. 2

I'd love an explanation of it, as my fiancé was highly entertained because he loves buffalos.

kblanken Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo ! Please capitalize the third and seventh Buffalo, as they refer to the city. 23
Oldschool75 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Just picture Rob Alvey "WHEEEEE!!" -ing and "Batzeling!!!" and other Media Representatives enjoying the front while the peasants are sent one row back. I feel like he's going to invent some horrible screaming sound and do it repeatedly on the ride, and call it "Bansheeing".Aside from, of course, the Banshee-like qualities of his voice that he has already demonstrated in his videos. I have a sock and some duct tape to take care of that. Lol 7
BB1 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 ^^^^They have Buffalo down south in the Commonwealth at a place of very large vertebrates' bones. 2
Gplez90 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Maybe I'm late on this, but it appears that they have turned the lights on that are on the outside wall of the station.

Gemini XL-200 Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Kat, I'm 17 and 6'5". If I keep growing (projected to be 6'8") I will be a sad camper. You could shave your head. And go barefoot. Gemini-XL 200, who likes to mess with Diamondbacker, like good friends typically do. 6
Diamondbacker Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 ^i have good hair now! I can't lose it because of an old female spirit! Or maybe I can. She looks pretty in purple. 10
Oldiesmann Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo ! Please capitalize the third and seventh Buffalo, as they refer to the city. I'm glad you know what's going on here. I still have no clue what that's about Edit: Wikipedia sheds some light on the confusion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffalo_buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffalo 5
thedevariouseffect Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Only Buffalo joke I know..is the one that got away Great White Buffalo.. Great White Buffalo 1
sikkinixx99 Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Looks good so far!! Hope they use that black fencing.
xXDrummerKiDXx Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 I think you may be right. Looks like they're marking the area for the queue. The webcam can be found https://www.visitkingsisland.com/online-fun/webcams there. 4
davidw Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 my guess is that they just cut the concrete lines. 2
CoastersRZ Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Yes. They cut the expansion joints in the concrete area that will form the queue. They likely won`t install the queue rails until next week once the concrete has cured some. 4
sikkinixx99 Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 I would love to see how the front of the station has progressed and if they put any stained glass in it?? 2
