pyrocoasterkid Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 ^ I agree, 10pm is a very odd time to announce an attraction, unless they plan on having a special fireworks show It seems to fit the whole "scary" theme that seems to be going so far, with the whaling banshee, the scarecrows, the owls, the no camping, etc etc. Just my 2 cents.
Big Sexy Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 It says world record breaking....That is alot better than the tallest fastest in southern oh theme.
Koasterking48 Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 -^^ I guess so, but the words that are making me pumped are "record-breaking." I'm seriously pumped for this announcement

Hilltopper39 Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Looks like the new ride is going to be a real......Hair raiser
supertrooper Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 I guess that puts to rest any doubt that it will be called Banshee.
thrillseeker4552 Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 I am very excited for this announcement! There is a chance me and my family are doing a CP/KI trip in Summer 2014, so I'm always down for a huge record-breaker!
pyrocoasterkid Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Some of the relevant folklore to go along with the Banshee story, curteousy of kicentral users supertrooper, PhantomTheaterKiss, and RollerColt: "In some accounts she is seen combing her hair as she laments. She is heard more often than seen, wailing as she approaches the abode in the late evening or early morning, sometimes perching on the windowsill two to three hours or even days before a death. As she moves off into the darkness witnesses describe a fluttering sound, such as the sound made by birds flying at night. Hence, the mistaken belief that banshees manifest as birds such as the crow. The inaccurate association with crows is probably due to confusion of the banshee with the primitive Celtic goddess Badb, the goddess of war who appeared frequently in the form of a crow." Also, in some lore, it's is mentioned that she is a beautiful woman seen combing GRAY hair (which appears to be the color in the comb), with a SILVER comb.
triggernel Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Don't know if this has been posted, but when I put the GForcify link for Valleyfair into Facebook, I got this. Appears to be some sort of app to distort a picture of yourself, similar to the Walking Dead's Zombify Yourself app. No idea what G-Forcify-ing yourself looks like though...
coasterfreak101 Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Okay, so world record-breaking. I wonder if it'll end up being the invert from the steel plant that just showed up the other day - highest and fastest or maybe most inversions on an inverted? I'd love to see all of the above - an even bigger (pre-braked) Alpengeist built in the valley with a solid set of inversions to boot.
skiisncoasterz Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Tomorrow night at ki should be an interesting evening at kings island. I shall be there to find what what ki has in store. Ill try and get photos on here too.
mikejenkins1 Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 If you go tomorrow you will be a week early. Aug 8th is the date.
alwaysairtime14 Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Do the combs on the media passes actually come with hair on them?
SFOGdude25 Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 August 8th?? That's way sooner than I thought! Exciting stuff! Can't wait to hear what this new coaster will be!
Ed Farmer Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 with the whaling banshee Whaling is frowned upon and would draw the ire of PETA.
michaellynn4 Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 with the whaling banshee Whaling is frowned upon and would draw the ire of PETA. I'm pretty sure they would do nothing but "wail" about said whaling. i kill myself...

The sad thing is, I know the difference... just typing without thinking in the rush I guess. Well played.
coasterkid124 Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 August 8th?? That's way sooner than I thought! Exciting stuff! Can't wait to hear what this new coaster will be! I think that the announcement is so early so that vertical construction can start. Then the speculation will stop, and everyone will know what is being built.
DJeXeL Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Maybe they're opening a barber shop. Hopefully it'll be more successful that Six Flags Roller Coaster Cuts.......
bonsaiisuperstar Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 I'm hearing rumours of blue B&M invert track sitting outside Clermont Steel. No pictures yet though.
TyRush Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 I'm hearing rumours of blue B&M invert track sitting outside Clermont Steel. No pictures yet though. Aren't the supports blue? Not saying a blue-blue track/support isnt possible but that would be unique EDIT:I cant really tell if thats track or not but since they say it is, go Blue!
