Vortex Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 So does anyone know if they are getting bat-like trains for 2014 or are they just using the Top Gun/Flight Deck trains painted black? The trains will be painted black. Quote

PKIVortex Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 ^ Has anyone noticed the on location sign seems to be have been taking down? Hmmmm 4 Quote
Kat Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 Hey look, it's the Batcam Yes and no. While it shows The Bat, it doesn't give a very close view of it to see what's going on.^ Has anyone noticed the on location sign seems to be have been taking down?You're right! I'm not observant at all lol hmmmm 9 Quote
Executioner822 Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 who ever doubted that there are black and orange bats, just googled it and saw a pic of one. it was really cool looking. 3 Quote
Screaming_Chicken Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 I wonder if KI will sell ''The Bat'' merchandise this upcoming season? I hope this re-theme is as cool I think it's going to be! Quote

Kat Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 Don't know what kind of bat this is but it's really neat looking! 15 Quote

calakapepe Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 What is this "on-location sign" everyone seems to be talking about leaving from view? Or what was it, rather? Quote
Kat Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 It was the sign on the gift shop in AZ that's located next to Drop Tower 5 Quote
fanofFirehawk Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 I think that is great sign (no pun intended) that sign is gone because it is out of the general realm of the little subsection that we have been "promised". It probably will be outfitted to hold Banshee merchandise and The Bat merchandise but still give those proretheme all of Action Zone members, like myself, hope. Quote
homestar92 Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 I'm gonna be "that guy" for a minute... There is every possibility that the sign coming down is meaningless. It may just be getting a fresh coat of paint. Though I can think of other signs in AZ that need it more... 9 Quote

It may just be getting a fresh coat of paint. Though I can think of other signs in AZ that need it more... I wondered if it was standard practice for them to do. Take down a sign to protect it from the winter elements. With all seriousness, I am thinking that they will rename it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
TTD-120-420 Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Is Banshee going to exit through a gift shop? Either way, I can see the "On Location" shop getting a makeover. Gatekeeper's shop is as nice as the Wild Eagle store. The merchandise side of the Cedar Fair parks is stepping up its game. 4 Quote
jcgoble3 Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 ^ Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. If Banshee will have a gift shop at the exit, then there's no real point to a second gift shop across the midway that sells basically the same type of stuff. I'm guessing that On Location will either get a makeover, different merchandise, and a new name, or else will be gone entirely and replaced with something else. It might become a food stand that's actually open, since there will be a larger number of people in the area, and Stunt Crew Grill, which is basically never open anyway, could become a permanent Haunt set-up and storage location.

myklhicks Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 there seems to be a crane (I believe) working on Bat. 10 Quote
WOF Guy Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 I hope KI renames the store Possesions (as DP did with an existing store near VooDoo in 2008). 5 Quote
ChainDog Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 I really hope they rename that area in general. It would be very cool to have a whole new area back there Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
Kat Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 I personally don't see them wasting money on transforming On Location into a food stand when they have SCG, they could just rename that and focus on making it more popular there. I wouldn't mind seeing pizza sold there as well bc Festhaus lines are usually pretty long. Perhaps rename SCG to On Location Pizza and Grill and rename On Location gift shop to something else. Don't know how well that would go over, having 3 pizza places not too far apart but I would buy pizza from SCG if it sold it to avoid the crowds in Festhaus. Also put a Coca-Cola Freestyle machine in there and three in Festhaus (two for pizza, one for Panda Express). Wishful thinking there, though. 1 Quote
ChainDog Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 My best guess as of now is that it will remain a gift shop selling mostly The Bat & Banshee items. Since The Bat does not have a gift shop already, KI will want to put some new merch on sale near the ride. Also in the station renderings of Banshee there doesn't seem to be a gift shop coming off the exit. So maybe the current shop there will have both rides merchandise.
