rcjp Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 ^It has to, right? But then we're only on the 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glouthan Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 ^ I would expect testing to begin shortly. There is only 47 days until media day. Can't wait for the POVs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B&MBoy1982 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Isn't testing supposed to begin this month? Â Â I would say it will begin soon. Â Location training for the Ride Department begins on April 5th. So one would think that the coaster has to be ready and certified by then.

Koasterking48 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I hope that if they chose to have floodlights, then only feature them on the first drop, dive loop, and loop. After that, the second half should be in pitch black darkness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondbacker27 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 There will be colored lights, and fog throughout the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glouthan Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) Here's a look at the cover of the 2014 park map. Edited March 8, 2014 by glouthan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPSFMMCW Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I'm assuming that they'll replace the animation with a real photo that looks like that, and won't just keep it an animation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Why? Looks good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I'm assuming that they'll replace the animation with a real photo that looks like that, and won't just keep it an animation? Â In order to do that they'd need to shoot a full train on media day and have the design team put that into the design, then print the maps, ship them and distribute them throughout the park in less than 24 hours (or switch them out mid-season which isn't really necessary). I'd think these will be in use as is all year, and they look fine as-is. Sure a real image might be better but it's not really practical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDipper 80 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Cedar Fair has used renderings on their park maps for years now with the exception of the years where a park might have gotten a low-key addition. I don't mind the renderings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geauga Dog Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I think the cover looks great and since I don't think KI is getting anything major in 2015 I would expect an actual picture of Banshee will grace the cover of the 2015 park guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondbacker27 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Most things from the park feature renderings, if they have anything to do with the ride. I know that in 2009 Diamondback had a rendering on the bottle. In 2011, Windseeker was a rendering on park maps, and bottles. I'm assuming Banshee will do the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster_Fanatic Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I'm pretty sure it will stay as a rendering on the map throughout the year. (KD did it with I-305 for the 2010 map cover, and then they used a real picture of the ride the following year, for example.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I am quite fond of the construction-related theming items they have though. And no TV monitors or computers for employees to select and print the photo, it gives a much more modern and streamlined look. I hope they don't touch a thing.
