The Bat retheme announcement could possibly come on October 31... EDIT: Or today... That works as well haha!

Mason and Kings Mills are always so pretty around the end of the season.

^ Seriously?! Orange would look better than sky blue? I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Anyways, my least favorite color scheme is the universally-hated colors of Scream! God-awful I also do not care for Flight Deck's all-gray scheme. It was better with red track

What are some examples of the other 10%? I consider a few of their rides okay, though their banking on the turns (or lack of) was one of the biggest complaints for me.

TOGO no question. Roller coaster (Manhattan Express) was one of the worst experiences I've ever had, plus I'm not exactly mourning the loss of King Cobra at KI either.

Hopefully the park will run some major fog machines on the Banshee because that would be awesome!

Blue Streak was named after a local high school's mascot, the Blue Streaks.

I'm curious of what the old queue used to look like as Top Gun; are there any pictures of it?

I'm seriously pumped to see the park reopen. Thunder Run was getting pretty rough, so I'm interested to see if there actually is noticeable improvements!

^ Yup, especially in October.

Except this doesn't look like a monumental let down...

Mantis. I hate every aspect of it, yet some enthusiasts aren't bothered by the pain it delivers.

^ Not exactly sure if I would want a google street view in Splashin' Safari considering all of the classy Southern Indiana people there are Haha, I'm kidding! I think Google Streetview in the park is a great idea!

Exactly, this sounds like a Skyrush train for the giga coaster, meaning it's hopefully Intamin. And I'd say 310-315 feet is more like 95 mph.

Hypersonic XLC is another I can think of that was very overhyped, and it turned out to be lame and constantly down. But yes Gwazi was considered a "fail" in my book compared to the other world-class coasters GCI produced (granted Gwazi was one if their first coasters, but still...). And I would also call Ring Racer a fail because it was supposed to be much faster than it really turned out to be. Plus it was delayed for so long.

Today is my birthday!

Man, April can't come soon enough!

These aren't humans we're talking about here, they are humans from Ohio........ Don't forget about all the guests from Kentucky and Indiana! Hey now....

Sweet! I hope it turns out to be a great family coaster!

Stinger from Dorney Park...

^ There's some negative connotation with that particular holiday that may prevent Holiday World from adding it.

^ Are you talking about the pockets for wallets and/or cell phones? If you are, these are on many (if not all) of the coasters at WDW.

^ Thats very good to hear. My rides on Gatekeeper caused soreness around my shoulder area for a week. I'm glad that the next I ride, it will be more enjoyable.

While I can't say anything about the Q&A since I wasn't there, Cedar Point has fixed the problem with them on Gatekeeper (though I have yet to ride with the improved vests). I would bet that the vests will be fixed for Banshee as well.

I'm also a little confused by the concept. Is it a drop tower where you free fall at the top, or will it just "zoom" up and slowly come back down? If it's the former, that could make this ride even more terrifying.
