Gplez90 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Station work continues... Image can be found on Kings Island's Twitter Page EDIT: You can see they're using the same panels on outside of the station on the inside. This machine is really coming along great! 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterfanatic83 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 They have been paying very special attention to the top of that turn after the 2nd vertical since they've finished steel erection. Is that they one they had issues with during installation? If I remember correctly they had to take down and re-install the supports a few supports for some reason... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Nice picture of the station; the turn out of the station reminds me a bit like the start of Wild Eagle. Only 52 more days... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the part of the ride you are referring to is the immelman portion of the batwing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI432 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 With the lift lights on, it makes me want April here right now! I know they are just lights but they look great and I can't wait to see them soon in person. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the part of the ride you are referring to is the immelman portion of the batwing. Im referring to the turn between the 2nd vertical loop and the inline twist. There has been a cherry picker checking out that turn almost every other day since steel erection was complete. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastersRZ Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 While Google Earth updated the maps, it has not been updated on Google Maps on the web yet. It still has Son of Beast shown in the satellite version. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveinphoenix Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 To bad the street view in Google maps isn't updated as well. You still see Son of Beast in the street view shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could be touching up paint on the track there or checking bolts making sure they are tight. I'm sure everything is okay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBEASTunchained Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 The lights on the Banshee lift hill have been left on all night......... Probably to test them and see if they are all working properly.

mikejenkins1 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 They are graveling quite a few places under the track now. It looks like they have a dump pile up by the entrance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gplez90 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I apologize for going off subject here, but i could not find the appropriate topic. (Feel free to point me in the right direction). Canada's Wonderland recently posted a picture of what their new Backlot Stunt Coaster trains will look like. Kings Island is also revamping the trains on the same ride. Here's what Canada's Wonderlands BSC trains will look like. This image can be found on Canada's Wonderlands Facebook page. EDIT: The trains will be red, white, and blue. P.S. After reading the comments on the picture, some of the folks in Canada don't sound too happy about the colors of the trains. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
