HarvestmanMan Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I'm half-expecting KI to avoid all this speculation and rename it the Barn Owl. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 What if they demolished Flight Deck and built a B&M wing coaster in it's place like the fake page showed. Perhaps I should eat a Snickers, I get speculative when I'm hungry. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstop Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Does anyone think that if this becomes The Bat reborn, that perhaps the station will be redesigned into a house, similar to The Vortex station, only more like Banshee's church type station...or a castle...(hmmm....my wheels are turning), part of the final turn of the queue line down the steps could be redesigned with castle walls with torches on the walls.....or completely enclosed from the steps area down to the newly designed queue line enclosed within the bowels of the castle....Actually, even the break run could be enclosed in a castle façade as well.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PREMiERdrum Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Don't get your hopes up too much. That could mean anything from a Flight Deck retheming to the Festhaus now serving hot wings and Blue Moon beer. So, what you're saying is... win / win? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stinky Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 From Twitter: Kings Island@KingsIslandPR On this date in 1980, Kings Island announced it was building the world's first suspended roller coaster, the "Bat." 9:58 AM - 29 Oct 13 Hence, yesterday's tease may not be a tease. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Yep, looks as though it was merely him anticipating a mark of history for Kings Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could mean anything from a Flight Deck retheming to the Festhaus now serving hot wings and Blue Moon beer. I'd rather have the hot wings.

Gordon Bombay Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 There's an extra set of stairs that attaches the ride's exit down to the lower queue. In the past, this featured a handicap electric ramp where guests in a wheel chair could experience the queue then ride up to the accessible part of the station. I bet you that becomes a "Fast Lane" entrance. I.E. Fast Lane riders enter through the exit, then go down those stairs and join up with the regular queue. That's what I initially anticipated happening, but that set of stairs has now been demolished. I'd now be surprised if Fast Lane was added to the ride, as it'd require a whole new bridge of sorts from the ground to the station. Thanks for pointing that out! I hadn't realized that they had demolished those! I'd still put money on a Fast Lane queue going somewhere in there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanna Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 This inches my suspicion towards Action Zone becoming a Spooky Zone. Nostalgia wants those old bat cars back, but practicality thinks that they were too unwieldy for utilitarian purposes. So Eighties. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanofFirehawk Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 The Bat flies again at #KingsIsland. The park is changing the name and colors of Flight Deck to The Bat. pic.twitter.com/9h1X6gSA1m I wonder if the name and color just means name and colors or will we see something more?

Kat Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I say that they'll announce the retheming of Action Zone Jan 25th or 26th. I heard a rumor today of Drop Tower being Demon Drop and Invertigo being Screamin' Demon. I like the idea. Because it's like a throwback part of the park and halloweenish. What's significant about those dates? I'm still voting for Invertigo to be renamed Stinger, like the one at Dorney lol Screamin' Demon could be a good name for Delirium 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
