BeastForever Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Well, since I'm literally too tired to type out a big long trip report right now, I'll just let the photos do most of the talking... Check-in line: 4:30 AM The smell of Banshee in the mornin' Dive loop More dive loop Banshee line/lift hill Banshee que The eye of the storm "Sail with me into the setting sun" (Rum is for Drinking, Not for Burning - Senses Fail) Stunning view Purple train Blue train Zero g-roll, or as Robb Alvey calls it: TWISTYYYY!

Station Station Cool chandelier Outside of station And last but not least, a dry Congo Falls Overall, it was an excellent day, thank you Kings Island and Cedar Fair for all the improvements you've made this year. Everything is perfect, from the newly redone Festhaus entrance to the addition of Banshee, you delivered in every aspect possible, and more... 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonofbeast2.0 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I feel like the whole area is heading for a haunted theme. Maybe next year the remaining rides will get name changes and then the area will be changed from Action Zone to something else. Maybe Drop Tower also getting a new coat of paint? Also some fantastic pictures! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride On_17 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 1) I love every detail the park went through with this ride. Even the little things like the chandeliers in the station make a huge difference. 2) AMAZING pictures. I especially love these 2. They're awesome. The second one is so cool seeing the track dip down into the valley, hidden in fog. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastForever Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 ^I too am impressed at how well my new camera had been taking photos today... Pretty darn good for a point-and-shoot if I do say so myself! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purdude86 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I coulndt' really tell in the video but does The Bat still stop for a moment on the lift hill like it used to or is it continuous now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VortexBFForever Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 It still slows down in the middle of the lift hill. I know that from riding it 17 times yesterday... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
