Coaster Curt Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Any ideas at to what kind of crowd I am going to see on Weds the 15th? As I mentioned before this is our first time to the park, Fast Lane or Fast Lane Plus in order? We will be there open to close so have plenty of time, but also want to ride Diamondback and a couple others as much as possible. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necoastergp Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 If I had to guess, I'd say it looks more like the B&M giga footers pic. I really hope for a B&M Giga Dive Coaster. A B&M Giga Dive would be insane! Don't see that ever happening though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A B&M Giga Dive would be insane! Don't see that ever happening though. It's just that a Dive Coaster would fit so well in that area... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't think that anything other than Invertigo and Firehawk would be over 20 minutes. It should be a good day to get a lot of rides in. Just hit Firehawk as early as possible.

bonsaiisuperstar Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Just got home from KI but forgot my camera. More footers have been set and the ones with concrete are square. Lots of room for a big coaster for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whodey Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Coaster Curt, On the 15th Fast lane would be a waste of money. No need on weekdays in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Some photos taken by yours truly. PS - Classic Cedar Fair. Way to "UPGRADE" the BeirGarten - They got rid of the wood lattice that provided shade above where people sat! REALLY? Why? Now it's just a big 'ol white concrete slab.

Coaster Curt Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 For the extra stuff like Slingshot, is there a go cart track as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacoaster09 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) This is SO a B&M! Some photos taken by yours truly. PS - Classic Cedar Fair. Way to "UPGRADE" the BeirGarten - They got rid of the wood lattice that provided shade above where people sat! REALLY? Why? Now it's just a big 'ol white concrete slab. Those 3 rows of footers looks like its for a transfer storage/track. Where the white cement truck looks to be a turnaround. From CWmania From CWmania It would be nice if they could make this a Giga-Twister... kinda how Raging Bull is a Hyper-Twister Edited May 3, 2013 by vacoaster09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GigaG Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 For the extra stuff like Slingshot, is there a go cart track as well? There was a go-kart track, but they tore it out. I think the place where we are seeing footers is its former location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koasterking48 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Man, I'm was still hoping for an Intamin giga Oh well Leviathan is still an awesome coaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, any idea on the cost of the Slingshot, I have never done one and might be interested in giving it a shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamico2 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 ^I believe the full price is $20 per person, but this early in the season it will probably only be $10 or $15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geauga Dog Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Slingshot and the Skyflyer Skycoaster usually have cheap deals for the first couple of hours after opening for the day. You should chek out Slingshot once you get in to check it out before a line forms for it later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinnwitted Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 The point about the BM footers looks to be spot on. Why Banshee as a name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonsaiisuperstar Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 A $40 million B&M giga named Banshee is my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06jds377 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I guess we can rule out a cable lift. This will be B&M's tallest coaster, calling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stashua123 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 FYI if anyone didn't know Windseeker is back open! But they where only allowing 32 people on the ride to balance it out. Also it defiantly looks like they are building something new at KI. Alot of construction stuff was out! Windseeker had the same cycle as it did last year. The same duration too. -Joshua Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B&MBoy1982 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 They were filling all the seats when they could. The ride had a 1 cycle wait both times I rode it. The first time, it was half full, and the second time I rode it, it was full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDipper 80 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I'm surprised no one has said Wing Rider yet... Banshee would be a suitable name for that style of coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koasterking48 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I'm surprised no one has said Wing Rider yet... Banshee would be a suitable name for that style of coaster. Because it really wouldn't make sense to build another wing rider. CP is just a few hours away from Kings Island. But who knows, maybe it is a wing rider.
