The Bat flies again at Kings Island

I wonder if you will see the new Midway for The Bat. I hope that they do something nifty with the station I mean they did start to take out the old email queue in late September so why wouldn't they put some new stuff in or will they just design a queue to hold a higher capacity crowd and expected increase in ridership.

Yeah, good thing they got rid of the old email. Way too much spam getting sent there.

In all seriousness, I doubt they'll do much to the queue. Even without the part from under the station, it's still one of (if not the) longest queues in the park. Even with Banshee next door, I'll be surprised to see that thing reach the midway.

Invertago as screamin demon or king cobra would be brilliant!

Yea, then we can rename The Beast to Son of Beast.

I would like the be paid a designer for the park, apparently all you have to do is rehash old ride names.

^ LOL!!!! That's just great. That's quite talent, actually :D

anyways, am I the ONLY one hoping for Invertigo to be renamed Stinger?? For those that don't know what Stinger is, it's Dorney Park's Invertigo:

Which I don't understand, haha

I never slip up, I only use the old names to make it easier to let my friends know which ride I'm talking about. Just in case they only know it by the old names; I go to the park regularly enough that I quickly and easily use the new names.

Hopefully nobody dies on this version of "The Bat".

As a kid (born in 76) we got to go to KI maybe once every other year. I remember most of my youth getting there and seeing the sign "The Bat is not operating today".

I love the new colors and think it's a good name, except I don't see why the park would want to dig into an old wound of a failed ride.

Nevermind. I'm an idiot. I can't find any evidence anywhere that a death actually occured. I just took my parent's word for it. I was only 7 years old. Parents aren't supposed to lie.

Don't feel bad. I was told the same thing when I was a kid.

I'll "edit" too...lol

By your words, though, you would have visited only twice when the original ride was operational. I think that "most of my youth" may be overstating things a bit.

Wouldn't it be cool if they enclosed the lift hill like AE's final hill and gave it eerie music and some candelabra along the walls?

If they do that, I can die happy!

i was thinking the same thing Kat. It is amazing how many 'deaths' never occurred. Like I heard 15 were killed on Son of Beast.

A rendering of the sign for The Bat, featuring the new logo:

I just noticed the detail of the ride in the background - how cool.

Really enjoying all these rendered pictures. Helps one get an idea of whats in store. I can't say enough how much I enjoy the orange and black...I truly feel that this will give this poor coaster some much needed attention because the current color scheme really never did anything for it. It was just...dull. I know it was meant to have jet fighter colors, but its more likely going to garner up more attention with the new colors and name. People will be more interested in what is has to offer.
