alpengeist04 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Ugh, are we back to it possibly being another B&M wing coaster here in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrapesLie Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I really want this to NOT be a wing rider. Although I wont lie The Bat would be a great theme for it! I'm still holding out for a inverted coaster. That said I'm so confused! King's Island, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! Maybe they will surprise us completely and it will be a giga after all! Right I wish.

A.J. Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I'm calling this one as false (but I'm probably wrong). Doesn't Cedar Fair usually create separate websites for their big new rides? I remember that happening with Hydra, Maverick and Leviathan, but I'm not sure about any of the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKI Jizzman Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Any plans for a TPR (non-kicentral) meet up at the announcement? I plan on being there. Â I'll be there after 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokey Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 ^^^^ and gatekeeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyRush Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Any new track at CS, other than the unpainted ones from the other day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Someone from KIC took aerial photos of CSF yesterday  http://s1312.photobucket.com/user/cornholeworldwide/slideshow/Kings%20Island%20and%20Clermont%20Steel%20August%205th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locostitch Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Yes apparently there have been reports from this morning saying three new flatbeds were out front with some more supports round and square Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skramp Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 ^^http://www.kidiamondback.com/ Â Â and a quick search shows that neither www.kibanshee.com or www.kithebat.com are owned domain names right now. So, take that for what it's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richtrav Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I'm in doubt of that page being real. Anyone can take a screenshot of a page and simply edit it. Besides, why would they use a pic of Gatekeeper's layout? Â I too saw the pages, you got there from the front page when you clicked on the "More Info" tab about the ride. It looked like a page under construction with that picture of gatekeeper as a placeholder for the real drawing along with the funny Latin text (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorem_ipsum) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coasterguy21 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Today's Twitter Post from the park makes me think there will be a few more diversions ahead- "What are we announcing Thursday night? It depends on who you're talking to and what day of the week it is." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonsaiisuperstar Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I'm still saying Banshee. They sent silver combs to the Enquirer to run a story. The Bat stuff is diversion. Anyone can mock up a website like that. They do not want a new coaster associated with one that had an uptime of 12% over three seasons. Yeah, the Bat is a legend but you don't want to ruin what it created in mystery. It's going to be Banshee. Invert with 7 inversions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Ok, an Invert named Banshee (granted I really dont like that name. Its lame to me) and then KI next coaster project could be a Wingrider themed to The Bat! Yes, I think ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrapesLie Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Now I know the chances of this are like zero, but maybe KI is doing us a solid and building both of these rides! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmullin Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I'm pretty sure that it's been proven that the website with the ride details was a phony so I don't understand why people are still talking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KPfreak519 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 The images and description may be fake for all we know but I seriously doubt they'd bother whipping up a logo that looks that legit just to toy with people. The picture of Gatekeeper and description would take like 5 minutes to create, but somebody spent some serious time on that "Bat" logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronWolfman Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I think the Bat will be the first major coaster after Banshee, and KI is just messing with us saying it's for 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Peck Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 If it is a fake, "The Bat" could have always been a working name and logo they decided against. It does look like it's in the final stages of design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Linn Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 The images and description may be fake for all we know but I seriously doubt they'd bother whipping up a logo that looks that legit just to toy with people. The picture of Gatekeeper and description would take like 5 minutes to create, but somebody spent some serious time on that "Bat" logo. Â If it's a diversion, the logo was probably made for cheap because I doubt they went through with filing for trademarks and all that jazz. Â Hell, for all we know they could have made an intern or other employee with a graphic design background make it for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codylamb18 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I am in school for graphic arts and it literally can take me 30 mins to create that logo. 5 for a skilled professional. I bet its just a stunt to create buzz. These manipulation seriously take no time at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's not a fake, then it's a diversion, and either way it doesn't reveal anything about the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
