jcgoble3 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Where are the other .1% of members? Well, I'm planning on some go-karting that evening. (Speaking of which, it's been over a month since I've been down there. I need to go back down there soon before I forget how to drive around the track. Probably this next week, possibly even tomorrow.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 It's very kind that you're potentially willing to give your spots away. Contacting the park is definitely the way to go; see the contact information on the event page. For the Diamondback first rider auction in 2009, I believe that some seats were given to families from A Kid Again. Your contributions toward this are extremely generous; I certainly hope that members here wouldn't use them as a reason not to raise money themselves. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCrypt Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Hey...let's drop the subject. There's obviously a reason for the request but I don't care what it is. The main thing we need to know is that NO unauthorized testing pictures are to be posted here. Period. End of story. Is anyone else getting déjà vu? 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I mean, if I was to rent an airplane and get aerial pictures of Banshee testing, I still couldn't post those? They requested that pictures of the ride testing not be posted here, no matter how you might take them, unless specifically authorized by the park. EDIT: Or what TheCrypt said 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTCO Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Well I couldn't see if it was testing and from the distance you can't even see much so it should be ok. Don - if these are not ok please let me know and I will remove them or a mod can these were taken from the street as we drove by.

Or do they not apply to you for some reason because you found something cool. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did I break the rules? They said no testing pictures and these were not testing pictures. Also I did not trespass so no rule broken there either.

fanofFirehawk Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 A very thin line you are running... What constitutes a photo Banshee testing? This or that? You posted of a photo of Banshee after condemning another for doing the same perhaps you have a point but it still seems some what hypocritical. If sounded like I was attempting to bash you I'm not... I've been sitting in the Fort Lauderdale cruise terminal for the past 1/2 hour frustrated out of my mind! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Guys, some kind of general rule all online communities should follow. If you wouldn't say it to someone face to face then don't type it in. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't post a picture of Banshee, he embedded a photo of the 2014 Kings Island park map before it was released and before Don gave the OK to post it. Huge difference between that and posting two hazy drive by photos of Banshee at night. I do not know if I violated a rule posting them. I do not believe I have, as I have seen no rules stating no drive by night photos where you can't see much, but being nice and wanting to stay out of trouble I simply stated that if there was any objection to the photos I would remove them. Don has not yet stated he has an issue with them, nor have any of the mods. If there is a problem I have apologized in advance and will remove them. Please, then, explain to me how I am being hypocritical or whatever when, AFAIK, I haven't violated any rules nor done anywhere close to the same things I have asked others not to do. If you're going to accuse me of doing something wrong kindly post your evidence. If you're right I will change my tune.

Fire-Beast-OF FEAR Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 And in the bigger picture these are pictures of roller coasters, not Soviet Missiles.

silver2005 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Not to mention you guys will have all season and beyond to take plenty of better pictures in the park as opposed to pictures of it testing from half a mile outside the park. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB1 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 To backup her argument, I can't see dum-diddly-squat in her photographs with the exception of lights. If I really wanted to be a stickler, I would bring up the light changes, though, she was moving, probably, therefore causing the light change.

Oldschool75 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 We have, and will continue to ask, that unauthorized photos and videos of Banshee being tested not be posted on this site at this time. We appreciate your cooperation with this request. Can we just make this a sticky to the forums? Or a pop up when you access the forums. I mean really? Don and our admins should not have to keep posting this reminder. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we should change the rule to no photos except webcam?? It's not like I even trespassed. Y'all didn't get upset when I posted daylight pics of Banshee on Wednesday when I was out on a test drive, so why the big deal about night photos when you can't see squat other than lights?
