seattlewheel Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 I am so glad that The Bat is flying to King's Island again. I was disapointed when the original flew away. Great to have a throwback to the eighties again. 6 Quote

thedevariouseffect Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Don go climb the lift hill and turn around I want a view 10 Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Go look at the comments for that picture...screamscape got tagged..why people why 2 Quote
BB1 Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 So many people use Screamscape for bits on this. Screamscape did report on this, but it happened and I really wouldn't bring it up anymore because it is unnecessary to the criteria. Glad to see the update on The Bat, I can't wait to ride the new haunted attraction! Quote
Executioner822 Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 once again... that orange looks great 1 Quote
seattlewheel Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 I think the original logo should be used for The Bat. It has great detailed graphics and wasn't used but for one year anyway. Bring a throwback logo to Kings Island. Quote
The Interpreter Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Why only one year? The original Bat operated for parts of three seasons: 1981, 1982 and 1983. 5 Quote
WailsLikeABanshee Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 And the original logo was used throughout the park, all season, during those three seasons, I believe. Sent from my VS840 4G using Tapatalk 4 Quote
Creed Bratton Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Not gonna lie, I'd prefer this kind of sign/logo instead. 13 Quote
BB1 Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 Not gonna lie, I'd prefer this kind of sign/logo instead. It looks Olde European to me, something I like compared to the steel winged beast of the west. 2 Quote
myklhicks Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 i just realized in the picture kingsislandPR tweeted the other day you can orange at the bottom left of the picture too! 2 Quote
GamesAndRides Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 As you can see in the Top Middle of the picture, You can now see that the drop is orange! 7 Quote
AZ Kinda Guy Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Looks great. Kudos to whoever came up with this idea and kudos to management for actually following through with it. 10 Quote
ChainDog Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Definitely. It's going to look so good next season! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote
DJSkyFoxx Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 The snow really adds to the effect as well. Really makes Banshee and from what little bit of The Bat, pop out! 3 Quote
Kat Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 I have photos of The Bat (and Banshee) taken from GWL during the KIC Christmas party I will put up this weekend. My computer is broken so I can't really use it. I am getting a new one after work tomorrow though. 6 Quote
KI FANATIC 37 Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 I'm just excited to see that AZ is really getting a facelift! It will be great to walk through it on opening day next year! 8 Quote
myklhicks Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 Not sure if mentioned elsewhere, but the brake run was painted. 9 Quote
KI FANATIC 37 Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 That already looks so much better! 3 Quote
Screaming_Chicken Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Wow! looking good! Can't wait to ride The Bat this summer. 3 Quote
TheBEASTunchained Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 "The track on The Bat (formerly Flight Deck) roller coaster is in the process of being painted orange. The columns will be painted two shades of charcoal. It's going to look sharp!" - Kings Island's Facebook page (Photo Courtesy of Kings Island) 16 Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Look at the life that paint gives this great old ride 17 Quote
ChainDog Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 It's going to look SO much better come next season! Great paint job for a great ride! 10 Quote
Creed Bratton Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Look at the life that paint gives this great old ride Agreed! I scratch my head when I think about it's recent repainting....why wasn't it painted this color back then? What made this time different? 3 Quote

I scratch my head when I think about it's recent repainting....why wasn't it painted this color back then? What made this time different? Banshee. It's going to go right by The Bat so why not give the old ride a nice spiffy makeover? I'm also still hoping for a dark theme sub-section not sure how Skyflyer would fit in a dark theme sub-section without being renamed though. 4 Quote
Screaming_Chicken Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Good Grief! That is starting to look wicked! Cannot WAIT to ride this come Spring/Summer 2014. 5 Quote
Joshua Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Lovin' the new paint job. Can't wait to see wait to see what they do with the station, as well, even if it is ends up being just a subtle change. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the end result. Not gonna lie, I'd prefer this kind of sign/logo instead. I agree. Don't get me wrong. I like the new logo. But it reminds me of a hockey team, whereas the classic logo has more menace to it. It's got a bite to it. Plus, I love horror-themed stuff, and the classic logo sort of embodies that. Not that I actually think they should drop the new logo or anything. I just prefer the retro one, that's all. I'm also still hoping for a dark theme sub-section That'd be cool! 3 Quote
