Ride On_17 Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 It may still be there now...But there are still several weeks until April 18th...Plenty of time to knock down a building... 1 Quote
MysticsTimber Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Also on that map, I'm wondering what is occupying the former AZ target... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
Ride On_17 Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 I just posted this in the Banshee Construction thread but since it applies here too... "If you enlarge the map and look closely I think it looks like a shaded area, sort of like what is near Gatekeeper (by the Coke Freestyle and Yogurt Plus stores). I also find it interesting how this one sort of resembles a spiderweb...Adds to the whole creepy/dark feel of this area with Banshee and The Bat nearby too." I'm not sure whether the lockers will be here of it it will just be a seating area. I'm hoping for the latter but then I'm not sure where the lockers will be. Quote
jdawg1998 Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Wait...am I really behind? I see no one talking about the tent-thing in the Action Zone circle. Or is that in another topic? 1 Quote
ohiocolts Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Also worth noting is that Action Theater was listed on the named on the map previous years, but is not this year. 5 Quote

RingMaster Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 If you download the Education Days packet from the Kings Island site, you can zoom in all you want. In other news, I was wondering when they'd remove The Box from the map; seemed confusing to have it on there if its only purpose is a Haunt attraction. The tent-thing I assume to be a makeshift pavilion/shade structure that most likely won't have any ties to Banshee thematically, even if the base does resemble that of a Celtic circle. Quote
DBInternational Posted March 21, 2014 Author Posted March 21, 2014 Banshees lift hill goes over the second inversion? Go home map designer, you're drunk. lol 6 Quote
CoasterMyths79 Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Notice that the giant room used for The Crypt is not on the map for the 2014 season for the first time. Quote
KI FANATIC 37 Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 If we will continue with trends from the past, the big building will be there for three more years until the park decides to remove it for future park expansion! Not meant as a slam on the park, just a joke! 2 Quote

Outdoor Man Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 I like it that they still consider that they have an area of the park named "Oktoberfest." Outside of the Viking Fury and a Festhaus that has nothing German in it- not sure that such an area exists anymore. But cute that they still name it. 1 Quote
Outdoor Man Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 While I'm at it- not sure that there's anything international about "International Street" anymore either outside of a Paris-themed tower. 1 Quote
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 But what about pizza and funnel cakes? Quote
LoraX Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 Funnel cake sounds good about now. Walmart has a funnel cake maker on clearance for $10 today. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

Not meant as a slam on the park, just a joke! That's actually not unrealistic IMO! No, it's not! They could easily remove that building, have that hill kind of create a circle to the entrance of The Beast, and have a large flat, or in time perhaps another coaster. Hopefully a flat first if one of the two. 2 Quote
upstop Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 I was looking the map over, and there is something unusual in the triangle of grass between AE, The Racer and FOF. It looks circular. I can't zoom in close enough to see, but generally, things are not put on the map that don't exist in some way...wonder what it could be? Quote

I'm pretty sure that's the artist's depiction of Slingshot's ball. Quote
MDMC01 Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 I really like/appreciate that Timberwolf Amphitheater is labeled on the map as it hasn't been named on the map in recent years. Quote
CoasterOhio Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 What I saw on the park map with the circle in the Action Zone area, was like a shaded area, with a small fountain in the middle? That's what it looked like, Action Zone really needed the shade. 1 Quote
Adventuro Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 The map has been highly unrealistic in proportion and coloring since about 2006. I miss the old maps back then... But I do appreciate the way they are made now because it's FUN. Which is what Cedar Fair is all about. Quote
The Interpreter Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 I think certain other maps are more useful in at least six ways... 2 Quote
THE_BEASTmaster Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 For those wondering about the old Crypt building not being on the map, Don said in the Banshee Construction Progress thread that the Crypt's building is not being removed because it's not in use Opening Day through Labor Day. It will be back on the map during Halloween Haunt. Here's the link to that post: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php/topic/27917-Banshee-construction-progress/?p=601958 5 Quote

Looked again....Yep you are right....LOL Actually, it shows Sling Shot as next to Delirium. Would the ball be that far away from the ride label? Though, I am looking at it on my phone, so that might be a factor somehow. Sent from my VS840 4G using Tapatalk Quote
jcgoble3 Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 ^ Yes; the ball is depicted at maximum height after launch, plus a level of exaggeration typical for the map. 2 Quote
WailsLikeABanshee Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 ^Ah. Thank you. I could barely see it on my phone. Sent from my VS840 4G using Tapatalk Quote
BloodBlade21 Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 Overall the new map looks good but I have some small qualms with the following items: Delirium swinging toward Banshee just creates a giant tangled mess. They should've made Delirium swing the other way to prevent the congestion and also to allow for more space to accurately depict Banshee. The dive loop is crammed in there and the vertical loop doesn't go around the lift... Also, I think The Bat's track layout is wrong near the turnaround next to Banshee. Finally, the "new" path that connects the "new" Splash River entrance to older paths isn't the same color as the surrounding paths which makes it look like a separate path. EDIT: Most of The Bat's layout seems off... not just the turnaround. (Nice catch rcwizard13) 1 Quote
rcwizard13 Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 Also on The Bat, the turn over the lift is shown as under the lift. 1 Quote
