SonofBaconator Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Found this online. I love the creepy intro. 10 Quote
Hank Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Nice to see this one again. I loved that coaster. And, of course, it hearkens back to a more care-free era (for me) - nostalgia! 4 Quote
CharleyTheDinosaur Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Even when I was really young I remember thinking why does The Vortex station resemble an old creepy house when the logo and everything else about it seemed so futuristic. It made sense when I found out that it was the same station for The Bat. 3 Quote
Tanna Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 It's a cool showing of how different it was as a ride. It's hard to describe to people who hadn't rode it just how unique it was. Thanks for the video. 2 Quote
KIfan73 Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Can't help but think that Banshee is in some way a nod to The Bat. 4 Quote
HarvestmanMan Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Can't help but think that Banshee is in some way a nod to The Bat. Speaking of which... "Kings Island is going to be building a new looping steel roller coaster with a name inspired by yelling spirits!" 3 Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 The yelling came later, perhaps because of two parks named Great. 1 Quote
kblanken Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 How did they feel about Steamin' Demon up at Great Escape? Quote
HarvestmanMan Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 The yelling came later, perhaps because of two parks named Great. So before the yelling, the names were inspired by only spirits? I can't imagine "Invermouthtigo", "Son of Beerst" or "The Chaser" would go over too well with Cedar Fair nowadays. Quote
