BB1 Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 I'm glad that they are realy doing this because this is one of the theories that our community had. Remember when we made the inquiry that we may be getting two ares now? Although we now know there is one AZ still, the fine line of colors and the center now almost separates the two areas. I'm glad that this hypothesis came into fruition technically, and I hope that this could lead to the Haunted Hill section of Kings Island.
coasterdime Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 Does anyone know if Kings Island/Banshee apparel will be for sale on Media Day? Id order it online, but i dont think it would get here on time There will be a chance to purchase merchandise. 1
steveinphoenix Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 Well so far my daughter and I have been to Knott's Berry Farm, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Buffalo Bills, Las Vegas Stratosphere on our trek to Kings Island for media day. Coaster count so far 22. Next stop, Six Flags Texas. Only 1 week to go until Banshee......Can't wait!!! See you all there.... Keep your feet OFF the ground and keep reaching for the stars.... 21
coasterfanatic83 Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 Of course she's mad..you see her hair? I'd be ticked too if I got out of the salon looking like that And then she asked "Does this rollercoaster make my butt look fat?", and based on her expression, and demeanor we can figure out the answer was "yes",... The response must have been, "The rollercoaster doesn't make it look fat. The fat makes it look fat!" 2
Gplez90 Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 I wonder if/when we'll see Banshee's lighting package installed/tested. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2
PKIVortex Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 Diamondback is testing now Okay but why do we need a post everytime I ride is seen testing? The Park officially opens in a week I would hope they are in full force in testing right now. 4
xXDrummerKiDXx Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 He's just informing us in case anyone would like to see it. Besides, with opening day in a week, what else are we suppose to talk about? 7
XjoshhyX Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 I wonder if/when we'll see Banshee's lighting package installed/tested. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I would imagine that this close to opening day it would be fairly soon. Hopefully by Wednesday to be prepared for Thursday's activities. 2
steveinphoenix Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 So has that freestanding wall been erected? Just wondering...none of the pics I have seen show over in that area. 1
Coasterama Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 ^ I think this picture will answer your question: photo taken from Greg Scheid's Twitter page: https://twitter.com/KIGMGREG -Note that renderings released back in August of last year were not finalized (The Bat was still under its Flight Deck color scheme), so they might not even build it at all. 3
ChainDog Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 Diamondback is testing nowOkay but why do we need a post everytime I ride is seen testing? The Park officially opens in a week I would hope they are in full force in testing right now. Good grief... just like DrummerKiD said- in case anybody wanted to see it. It's exciting to see the park awaken after a long cold winter. 1
steveinphoenix Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 OK Thanks. The renderings were pretty close to the final product...so I thought they might have put that in. 1
Coasterama Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 To be honest I have no idea what the wall's purpose was. I was thinking it would have acted as a support for the exit stairs, or maybe it was just for added detail. I guess now we'll never know.... 1
steveinphoenix Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 I think its purpose was to block the view of transformers or other misc. unsightly electrical equipment. 1
homestar92 Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 I don't think the wall will be part of the final product, but in theory it still could. I'm sure it would take no more than a half an hour to erect that wall. 2

It's exciting to see the park awaken after a long cold winter. I was just asking a question. I mean seriously though rides are going to be testing when we are only a week out from opening. It'd good to be excited. I didn't mean to upset anyone. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk 1
Kat Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 I think some people are getting a little cranky in eager anticipation for next week since two people now have complained about postings of rides testing lol I agree it's fun to know when stuff is testing because it's thrilling to watch and daydream of being there til next week. 6 days 13 hours and 8 minutes til the park opens for the season.

Sonofbeast2.0 Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 I didn't see anyone else post this yet (which id be really surprised if no one hasn't!) but the park is now equipped with a new ticketing system! Kings Island's offical Twitter page Also note the new overhead TV's/monitors! Side note: I really love the attention the park is getting this year! Who knows if their will be even more surprises in store!? 5
upstop Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 To those looking for the freestanding wall at the exit....the exit to Banshee is way at the back of the station, and, according to the rendering, the wall is not as high as the peak of the station roof. Therefore, the odds are it is there, but it cannot be seen from the tower and can only be seen when you approach the toilets. Take another look at the rendering: https://www.visitkingsisland.com/Banshee/the-ride/ride-information 3
jcgoble3 Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 Once again, why is everyone so concerned about this simple wall? Transmitted from Wild Space via my datapad's DROID brain 4
thedevariouseffect Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 ^^Please link to where you got the rendering please & thanks 2
CoasterOhio Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 I really don't understand the fuss about the freestanding wall. It's only there to block out the ugliness of the bathroom building. 3
KIfan73 Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 You must have missed the drinking fountain discussion a few years ago. 4
Kat Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 I couldn't care less about the wall really lol I'm just excited about the new ride and all that they have done to revamp the area and park. They have really outdone themselves this year and continue to do so. The Earth is the proper name of a planet, and thus should always be capitalized. 2
BB1 Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 I actually disliked the wall, so really, I could care less if it is there or not. Plus, now you have an excellent view from the station in all directions! 3

I was all happy because finally someone on here used the saying right. Then I read the next post. 3
UnrealNightmare Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 You'd think people would have learned by now. With all the times Terpy has pointed it out. 6
