thedevariouseffect Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 I'm watching the cam from DavidW's captures which are usually one minute apart, the whole cycle isn't a minute I would have caught it by now. Looked to be they were moving the train back and forth on the transfer table, maybe even advancing to the station or moving it from the transfer table to the brake right before it. Can't verify but that's the only area of movement I could see 4
thedevariouseffect Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Few people walked around the brake run and the car parked by On Location, left the area, now some more transfer table movement.. I feel like a total creeper Actually more like: 12
THE_BEASTmaster Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Or poles for shade covers like in Diamondback's or Firehawk's que line. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk The queue line won't be out that far, in the middle of Action Zone. I know that. I think it's just going to be shading with dining tables. The shaders would look like the ones in Diamondback's que. Just using those as an example. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
thedevariouseffect Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Last van of people on the site looks to have left..I think the site is clear for the day, no testing today, I'll keep an eye out 1
thedevariouseffect Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Sorry to double post, again.. New lights are on inside Banshee's transfer table. Previous nights these lights have not been on, compared the past few days of night images to right now, so someone may still be at the ride location, I can't tell. Or lights are just now getting power, who knows. Soon everyone, soon 2
BloodBlade21 Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 ^ Just noticed the same thing... Taken from DavidW's gallery http://www.davidwaderich.com/hotlink/KI/ EDIT: Thanks for the reminder thedevariouseffect 3

thedevariouseffect Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Yeah either something is going on in the transfer table or they just went hot over there. Station is still dark, ah well Also notice, sign on On Location or whatever it may be possibly renamed is now lit up 2
GODZILLA2877 Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Yeah either something is going on in the transfer table or they just went hot over there.

DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 No testing yet? I hope they're not having problems. 1
thedevariouseffect Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 That's because a different set of lights is on as I said..
fryoj Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 I really can't imagine them doing the first tests at night. If something does go wrong, they need to be able see exactly when and where it goes wrong. If they test at night and in the bottom of the Batwing it locks up, they aren't going to be able to tell what happened. If they really want it to be ultra secret and have no one see, they would just kill the cams and test. 3

There is nothing to "lock up" in the bottom of the Batwing. They will be able to tell if the train does not make it back to the station. The computer will most likely shut down in the event of a valley. 1
kirbias1 Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 I believe Diamondback's first test run was at the end of Feb. Banshee is almost two weeks behind DB in that regard.
thekidd33 Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Well that means it should be running more or less non-stop once they get things going. That will be fun to watch!
Wingless92 Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Been looking at the sunrise/sunset schedule for April 18th and the sun will rise @ 7:04. So from 5:30am to about 6:30am I would say those rides are going to be in the dark! 2

Kat Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 This winter was much harsher than normal though. I'm sure we still had snow on Feb. 27th lol I know nothing about coaster mechanics but I would think all the ice and snow on the track wouldn't make for good test run conditions.

The computer will most likely shut down in the event of a valley. Night testing sure. But how often is the first test ever of a ride at night? So a bearing can't lock up? A wheel can't be bad from the factory? Things happen and things do lock up. Thats why they test these things before putting people on them. If it does valley, don't you think they'd rather have daylight to see how close it was to making it? I'm sure they'd rather go ahead and start getting it winched back to the station than leave it valleyed all night and have to do it the next day.

UnrealNightmare Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Since when is Kings Island ran by the school board or the government for that matter? 6
APE Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 The anticipation for testing is killing me. Its like the wait of no action after they built the zero g roll. Enthusiast problems... 4
