Adventuro Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I just want to point out that CF refers to rides as attractions. Not saying that this announcement is about a new ride, but you can't count that out just because they say attraction. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Hm... I'll guess singing animatronics, perhaps in the revamped Action Zone. (eg. the back-for-2014 singing mushrooms at Kings Dominion or the singing trees at Great Wolf Lodge.) Almost certainly wrong, but it seems as likely as anything. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 An attraction can mean ANYTHING. I think they are using their words carefully here. An attraction can be a magic show, remote control boats, a museum, a ride, etc. I doubt it will be a new ride. Why would they take the "New ride" focus off Banshee? I assure you, no additional ride will deter people from riding Banshee. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kat Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 not trying to be mean here or anything, but we were asked that if you are going to quote something that Kings Island posts, either from social media or webcam, that you link back to where the content can be found... This was a request from Don Helbig himself. He is nice enough to provide us all this stuff, it is only fair that we give proper credit to him by linking back to the content. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elyk Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Gatekeeper was marketed as an experience for all ages because of the way it interacted with the entrance to the park. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 All I know is, if the planets somehow align and we miraculously see the return of OUR Eagles from Carowinds, I will be inclined to make a Windows Movie Maker photo montage set to Ozzy Osbourne's "Mama I'm Coming Home". As it stands, I feel there is only about a 0.001% chance I'll have to do that, as much as I want to. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBInternational Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Could mean barrel-roll. Firehawk is the only ride besides Banshee in the park with a barrel roll (unless Flight of Fear does but i dont think so) But what could they possibly do with that?

homestar92 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Roll call of rides beginning with B? Bat, Banshee, (New attraction beginning with B )? This post brought to you by the letter B. In other news, I've grown to hate the sunglasses smiley. Always interfering with my ability to type a B followed by a close paren. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIfan73 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Somehow I remembered this post in this thread and I just found it (post #25): http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php/topic/25608-its-time-for-ki-to-get-a-new-front-gate/?p=464511 I'm thinking its going to be some kind of big screen.

jcgoble3 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 From Wikipedia: " 'B-roll' also refers to footage provided free of charge to broadcast news organizations as a means of gaining free publicity." So I would gather from that that this is something significant if they're putting together a B-roll for it. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevariouseffect Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I'll wait till four, I've been waiting all off season to ride rides, few more hours to find more news isn't going to kill me 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_BEASTmaster Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 A b-roll does not mean barrel roll. It's a video editing term which is alternative footage that is intercut with the main footage as used in interviews and documentaries. EDIT: Dang! Jcgoble3 beat me to it! Lol!

calakapepe Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Another promotional video with an extremely peppy family? (i.e. Cedar Point) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rcoaster10 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I still think that the AZ circle is going to be used for a seating area with shading. But what if they're bringing back flying eagles but putting them somewhere else in the park that we just can't see? The webcam only covers the Banshee area. What if they're going somewhere else in the park? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevariouseffect Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 ^^I really hope not..I liked the idea of a family presenting a new family area of the park and family rides..But that video made me cringe a bit..It was just awkward..the dad was just..cringe..Then the way too excited little girl..just..calm the hell down, and stop spinning Just tried watching the video again: The sons head bobs and "oh yeah" faces..just..creepy..The dad's hands and whatnot after Erie Eagles...The bird sounds...The arguing at the end..Also btw, in the video, all the rides have so many trees around them, stop getting my hopes up CP!! A video shouldn't make me cringe and creeped out..Banshee promotional materials...PERFECT 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gplez90 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 My guess for the b-roll is they will use it to accompany their new park sign out front. Just a guess. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTD-120-420 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 The entrance is getting some upgrades, but I don't see that as an attraction. I don't think they would make an official Facebook announcement for a show, unless it was something really special (not a musical POS). The sign out front isn't an attraction or in need of B-roll footage. I have no idea what this is. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Well, since Ed Alonzo has left us, maybe we'll get a live show with Screech to go with Banshee. I'd give that show a Diamond rating. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedevariouseffect Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 ^That was pretty good.. My biggest thing about Alonzo's show leaving..Something needs to meet or exceed the show IMO to be put in there. If it's anything less than what I got out of Alonzo, I'm going to be disappointed. Something with the same wow and interesting factor that had enough to pull me out of the lines and midways to watch a show other than to escape into shade/AC, it has to be good. If it's not I'll wait for another ride. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedevariouseffect Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Oh I know that..but they better replace it with something equal or greater. There's plenty of other gigs I could say to put in there, but I'm not in charge of live e.. We will just have to wait and see, maybe we'll know tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoraX Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I really did not like Screech's character on the show. With the things he has said about the cast of SBTB, it would be disappointing to have that negativity when another SBTB actor is at another park. (Plus the other things he's done aside from the show, he seems like a creep. Can't imagine a parent wanting their child around him.) With that being said, with him being a less than favorable choice for Kings Island, perhaps he will go to KK. I would love a "Whose Line Is It Anyway" or comedy sports type show with audience participation. One of my favorite parts of the Ed Alonzo show was the children interacting in the show.

calakapepe Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I'll second a show with guest participation. Especially when coupled with comedy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
