malem Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 I just realized something... guess I'm late to the party in observing this... but the station floor doesn't drop. It's a static, concrete loading station floor. Shaggy why would the floor need to drop? Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk The floor drops on other B&M inverted coasters to ensure sufficient clearance as the train moves. Banshee's trains are different, instead being based on the design of B&M's wing coaster trains. The seats are tilted, allowing guests to board without the floor rising. EDIT: basically what homestar92 and upstop said. 7
thedevariouseffect Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 We need to name The Bat Velma.. Jinkies, it's quite fitting. 9
Kat Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 hey I know this is a bit off topic but I tried searching and didn't find anything.... are we allowed to post the link to our Scream for A Kid Again fundraiser page so if people on here want to donate they can? I signed up last night finally but don't know if/where I can post my link. 1

calakapepe Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 What in the world are they doing with that cement?They don't typically cement access roads. There's a pavement road, but not many. 1
HTCO Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 So when does the crew get their training on the ride? Thats probably on a need to know basis 3
UnrealNightmare Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 I don't think they are talking about the ride itself being named. My guess is they have a Banshee prop they are going to display and they want to give it a name. 4

sheikra_rocks Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 So when does the crew get their training on the ride? Sooner than you may think, but not anytime soon.
UnrealNightmare Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 So when does the crew get their training on the ride? Sooner than you may think, but not anytime soon. That makes a ton of sense. I bet they start training this weekend or next. 1
Kat Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 off topic but Diamondback is testing! picture captured from Kings Island's Diamondback webcam which can be found here 17

I bet they start training this weekend or next. I may or may not know, but those who know will be trained when it is our time.
Sebastien6221 Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 I was able to catch glimpses of Banshee running its course, but sadly none of Diamondback, and The Bat, which that JLG is in the way of The Bat.
UnrealNightmare Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 I just saw a Diamondback train leave the MCBR. 4
APE Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 It looks to me and I could be wrong that they are making a new exit for Delirium. 5
THE_BEASTmaster Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 I was able to catch glimpses of Banshee running its course, but sadly none of Diamondback, and The Bat, which that JLG is in the way of The Bat. The Bat is still being worked on, so it isn't ready for test runs. They're replacing a rail right now. 3
UnrealNightmare Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 The rail looks like it's been replaced now. It looks like it just needs a coat of paint. 4
xXDrummerKiDXx Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 I noticed that the area behind Delirium has been expanded (someone has mentioned it). A new exit path? The webcam can be found https://www.visitkingsisland.com/online-fun/webcams 4
upstop Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 What in the world are they doing with that cement? They don't typically cement access roads. There's a pavement road, but not many. I agree...looking at the webcam there is a shadow casting off of the edge near the landscaping...looks like a curb high enough to sit on to me. I'm thinking this area is going to be like the patio behind the Reds Grille. Hey, great place to eat a chicken dinner and ice cream. 3
UnrealNightmare Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 I still think that part that scoops around behind Slingshot is a new smoking area. 1
upstop Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 ^^ it could very well be a new smoking area. Also. Maybe there will be a new building built for Slaughter House at the end of the path. 1
Sebastien6221 Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 If you glance at the park map for this year, it looks like some sort of covered area.
UnrealNightmare Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 We aren't talking about the circle. Were talking about the concrete behind Sling Shot and Delirium.
silver2005 Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Could the concrete behind Delirium be to help access the gated areas beneath Banshee's first drop/dive loop, or perhaps for evac purposes?
GamesAndRides Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 As people are saying, It looks to me like Delirium New Exit Path.
