TheBEASTunchained Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 A section of track being painted right now on The Bat..... Image captured from The Bat Cam on Kings Island's website, Here. 9 Quote
The Interpreter Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 That orange looks SO much better. I hope it's relatively fade-proof. 17 Quote
stinky Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 I was wondering if that's why dark gray was chosen over black- less chalking, plus it may disappear into the woods more than black, making the orange track look more like it's floating. 6 Quote
The Interpreter Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 That place that numbers its flags didn't have problems with chalking when its Batman: The Rides were black... 8 Quote
rcwizard13 Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Baynum Painting posted some great new pics of The Bat to their blog today. The color scheme looks better and better every day. Hurry, April, hurry! 9 Quote
MysticsTimber Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 Looks like the crew is back to painting The Bat today! The Bat's webcam photo was taken from Kings Island's website. Check it out here: https://www.visitkingsisland.com/online-fun/webcams Edit: Compare the photo from this morning to this one. Lot of progress has been made today! This photo was also taken from The Bat's webcam on Kings Island's website. Check it out here: https://www.visitkingsisland.com/online-fun/webcams Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 5 Quote
homestar92 Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Also, if you look at the Bansheecam, it looks like most of the off-camera turnaround is done, so the ride is coming along very quickly. 2 Quote
calakapepe Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 The turnaround isn't painted on my cameras for The Bat Quote
homestar92 Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Huh... You're right. I could have sworn I remember seeing it orange on the webcam... My bad. 1 Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 The turnaround is almost done being painted people up there now on it..looks great with the Sun hitting it too Quote
IndyGuy4KI Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 The turnaround is almost done being painted people up there now on it..looks great with the Sun hitting it too Dude, the turnaround is not even close to being touched from what I can see on The Bat cam and the Banshee cam. Quote
BloodBlade21 Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 ^ I think he is referring to the horseshoe turn. 1 Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Yes the one above the station, they knocked ALOT of that out today, they were only halfway up it when I saw it first thing, end of the day, completed. I have pics will post later 2 Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Edited for now, will return later pinky swear. Just created the post to be able to copy & paste for later reference Quote
Kat Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 I'm at Kings Auto mall with Aaron. Depending on what time we get out of here, I may talk him into driving by the park to see Banshee. Not stopping, just driving by, before I get all the people reminding me about not stopping on park property, etc... Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Well I doubt they're testing, it's cold and windy out. But honestly if you go and ask them to go on the hill, beautiful place to see the back half of the park Quote
homestar92 Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 To the BatCam! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yic7IRO9d6I 10 Quote
ChainDog Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Looks like painting may get finished up today! 1 Quote
THE_BEASTmaster Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 It looks like the track is completely painted and the supports probably will be finished tomorrow. According to The Bat Cam. 2 Quote
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 The Bat is looking grrreat. Orange is my favorite color 6 Quote
Diamondbacker Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Had to post this here. I love how The Bat looks right now. TheBat3 by Diamondbacker, on Flickr EDIT: I do not own this image. I found this image on Kings Island's website, and the image can be found here. 6 Quote
coasterfanatic83 Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 I can't wait to see how it looks when the trees and grass surrounding the ride are green. 3 Quote
PKIVortex Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Looks like a totally different ride. It reminds me a lot of when it opened in 1993 when it was bright red. I can't wait to see it in person in about 3 1/2 weeks. It's hard to believe really that the park opens just 3 weeks from Friday, I really believe this off season went fast! 6 Quote
LongTimeLurker Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 It looks like a section of the track is missing. 1 Quote
GamesAndRides Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 It looks like a section of the track is missing. Yep, Parts of the rails are missing. 1 Quote
Kat Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Someone in Banshee Construction Progress said rust. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk Quote
PKIVortex Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Those rails have to be replaced from time to time. Just routine maintenance. I just hope they don't forget and accidentally send a train, that would be bad! 1 Quote
