homestar92 Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 You may also notice when driving on I-71 that our humble little Arrow Suspended Coaster finally pops and is easy to see from the highway. Visible to all, as the best non-inverting steel coaster at Kings Island should be. 12 Quote
TheCrypt Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Visible to all, as the best non-inverting steel coaster at Kings Island should be. I actually prefer Adventure Express to be hidden. I think it adds to the ride experience. 12 Quote

Visible to all, as the best non-inverting steel coaster at Kings Island should be. But should IT be visible to all? EDIT: I agree with The Crypt! 6 Quote
homestar92 Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Adventure Express and The Bat sometimes flip-flop on my favorite non-inverting steel coasters list. I'm feeling more batty than adventurous today, so at least for now, The Bat it is for me. I will admit, TheCrypt's comeback was superb. 2 Quote

Visible to all, as the best non-inverting steel coaster at Kings Island should be. We're placing it above Diamondback? That's a mighty bold statement. And that's coming from someone who spent a couple years working it. 1 Quote
homestar92 Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 For me personally, absolutely, 100% yes. In fact, Diamondback is my 3rd least favorite coaster in the park, beating out only Backlot Stunt Coaster and Flying Ace Aerial Chase. If it's any consolation, had I ever ridden The Great Pumpkin Coaster, Diamondback would be my 4th least favorite. As its manufacturer implies with their name, I find Diamondback to be Boring & Mediocre. -Homestar92, generally a fan of B&M coasters but unimpressed by their Hypers and Wings. 3 Quote
Tr0y Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 It would be awesome if Kings Island had a Bat cam, its kinda pointless to have Banshee cam one facing were it is. 5 Quote
TheBEASTunchained Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 It would be awesome if Kings Island had a Bat cam, its kinda pointless to have Banshee cam one facing were it is. It is not "pointless" to have Banshee Construction Cam 1 facing the direction that it currently is. Banshee Construction Cam 1 will be providing great views of Banshee testing once it begins. 3 Quote
WailsLikeABanshee Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Actually, from watching while the park was still open, I never noticed anything moving. I watched and watched for about 2 hours one day, and saw nothing but the shadows move. It was frustrating. (Though, I have no life, since I didn't have a way to get to the park.)

CoasterMyths79 Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Banshee Construction Cam 1 is now The Bat construction cam as they have moved that camera to The Bat! 5 Quote

DBInternational Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 The silhouette of the lift hill and GWL is actually pretty cool. I'm glad they gave The Bat its own webcam. Now I don't have to zoom in on the back of the Banshee cam and squint my eyes to see how much painting they've done! 11 Quote

Stitch Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 I would like to know if there is any rhyme or reason to the sections of track/supports that they choose to paint. To me, it doesn't seem like there's any. 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 I would think they choose parts they have not already painted. Terp, who just HAD to. (The reward for poor quality, hasty work is rework). 11 Quote

Spectrum91 Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Just a friendly reminder, linking to the live webcam means that the image will change with time, and nighttime viewers will be met with a dark photo. Instead, save the photo and upload it to a photo sharing site like imgur.com. That way, the screenshot will be saved in time. 3 Quote
