I think they are going to take out all the rides elements before they demo the lift hill. Expand One more thing.....Does anyone think that then original Bats footers will be removed in the process?

tuxedoman52 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Just a tip for watching Vortex demolition: If you right click on the Kings Island logo and hit "Inspect Element", you can remove the logo and give yourself a better view of the batwing area through the Diamondback webcam. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuxedoman52 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Directly on the logo. When you do that, it should highlight the logo in the code. From there, just right click and select delete element. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Edit: spelling 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 The batwing is half gone. The approach to the batwing also gone. Can't really see but no other movement at this time. There has been a few trucks pulled up to DB. Work being done still? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I don't know what you guys are seeing (yes, I did the logo removal). I see the batwing still intact. The brake run and helix are gone though. At least, at the time of this post. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 It may just be my screen but I can't see the approach to The Bat wing. Looks like a gap there but maybe its a tree. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivertown Rider Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 While it is sad to see the queue building go this certainly gives them opportunity to widen the path between Autos and WindSeeker and keep it from being such a bottleneck. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Honestly in my view the batwing looks like its completely gone. idk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI FANATIC 37 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I must be the vast minority but Im glad they removed the station. I hate when they remove rides and keep a station for an attraction that's used for 2 months of the year (i.e. SoB). That being said, it is sad to see it go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFloppyDisc Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Here is a side by side with two weeks ago. It's definitely hard to see, but the batwing definitely looks like it is still there.
