^ Funny business? At Cedar Fair?

Hopefully you'd get approval. Lest someone get in trouble.

I thought Cedar Fair was a FUNny business.

I thought Cedar Fair was a FUNny business.

of course they're FUN! Also, nice PUN.

They did learn, after Gatekeeper's entire website leaked in advance of the announcement. Parts of the real Banshee site didn't leak until the morning of announcement day.

Cedar Fair's web team knows by now that fans like to read CSS files and guess URLs.

And you can also find lots of interesting things with wget. [emoji6]

^ Particularly with the correct use of certain flags.

But not Flags.

I'm seeing on multiple Instagram accounts that more of the green track is showing up in Batavia. Can anyone confirm this? Perhaps they left a piece in such a way that the sticker can be seen? Let's hope.

Good luck with that.

Apparently a lot of unpainted pieces as well? Credit to @KingsIslandOhio Instagram account

...which is NOT the park's account, misleading as that may be.

Very well aware of that, Terp. Thanks.

I know you are.

Others may not be.

Even so, it gives pictures of track. We just need to treat it as an enthusiast getting pictures, which is what it is

Exactly. Just thought I'd put out the never seen on this thread picture- just something to chew on until the next clues/pieces of interest show up.

I've posted the most recent pictures. All the unpainted pieces are for the wing rider. They are purposely hiding the green track stickers.

Folks if you want good pictures of the track and to be able to identify the stickers "legally" you are going or need at least a 200mm zoom lens and a decent camera. A point and shoot or phone camera is not going to be able to zoom in on it.

Maybe a modern lost river ...

From my two visits to the park this season I am kinda torn that this clearing in Rivertown is just the renovation for WWC and the new entrance and exit... I am not 100% convinced but I am leaning towards this being a "park upgrade" and maybe a Rivertown upgrade for project 2018...

Not trying to crush anyone's dreams or hopes for our "alleged" Cowboy Coaster, I mean if we have some "Intamin Credits" we are well overdue to use them unless Cedar Fair is saving them for parts and maintenance on TTD, Maverick, Wicked Twister, or Millenium Force lmao!!!

Sorry for the double post, using mobile :-/

But just so we are clear, I am trolling, I can clearly see that Cedar Fair hasn't had an interest in Intamin for a while now...

^If you read here enough, you'll learn why, and its a pretty rational chain of events to lead them that way.

 

Just sayin'.  

Is it really that hard to accept that Cedar Fair nor Six Flags are willing to work with Intamin?

 

Why aren't you guys railing on Intamin, if you like them so much, for making better products or having better safety standards?

Also for those of us not Instagram, posting a picture from something stating its Kings Island is misleading and does nothing but stir the pot more. It does not help the convo at all

Well, I like the new path. It's a nice change from the old, 1985-era nature hike.  Some guests need to get over the 'wait-behind-the-yellow-line" rule when the gates are closed for the train (I heard a lot of smart-alec remarks on Saturday, but the employee maintained his professionalism beautifully). Cool new views of Diamondback have been opened up, too. Not even paying attention to the red herring wall at the old entrance site. Not this year.

@silver2005 I completely agree!! I love the Cedar Point installations of the great Dick Kinzel/Intamin Era!!! TTD, WT, Maverick, MF, and even STR!!! But I also value human life beyond the idea of "acceptable accidents" give me a good old forceful B&M, i.e. Banshee, over a maintainance nightmare, i.e. Maverick or TTD for KI anyday!!!

@thrill_biscuit I appreciate the new entrance as well!!! A vast improvement that was long overdue, I never cared about the long hike from the midway but some of the GP may have felt otherwise. The new queue/entrance is awesome and overdue!!!

Now if we could figure out a better use for the hike back to The Bat... that'd be great...

Never in my post did I say that that photo came from Kings Island itself. I simply credited the account from which the picture came. If you assumed that it was from the park that is your fault. You know- this forum has not made me or my contributions feel welcome at all. It honestly just makes me upset that no one can just have fun determining if things are clues and enjoying coaster talk together. Everyone has to prove they're right and belittle those with different opinions. This doesn't want to make me join any enthusiast groups if that's how it will be. [emoji17] Sorry to have "stirred the pot" though if silly words on a screen really ruffle your feathers that much I'm actually sorry for you. Don't worry- I won't be contributing further.

@beastlyBanshee I hate the you felt targeted or called out, I felt the same way when I joined Pointbuzz, CoasterBuzz, and even here at KICentral but I have learned to just let the little things roll off my back. Don't let anyone keep you from posting here, speculation is what keeps these forums going! And again not hating on anyone but just encouraging new members to not afraid to post because of comments that may follow.

MIcoasterguy who is a homegrown coaster enthusiast,born and raised on trips to Cedar Point and ventured out to other theme parks as an adult, not affiliated with any coaster clubs, sites, or any other bs that doesn't matter lmao!!!

I love to hear what people think are coming, that's what fuels our speculation!!!

Some people act like they are employed by the park for some reason

Some people act like they are employed by the park for some reason

Because some people are

Beast Gal!!!! Where you been?!? It was getting boring around here, any news from the hubby???

1. If you post about something you could say from xx which is not part of the park. Sorry you feel that way but your allowed to post what you want and others are allowed to comment on that if you don't like it well.... No one is forcing you to participate

2. Also no one acts like they are employed by the park. Some people are employed by the park, some people work in the field, and others don't like BS
