pyrocoasterkid Posted July 31, 2013 Share 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.

Koasterking48 Posted July 31, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrillseeker4552 Posted July 31, 2013 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrocoasterkid Posted July 31, 2013 Share 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 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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!
