^Ha, you beat me to it. Was driving me crazy as well!

 

With that said, I am curious to see what this turns out to be. Considering that construction is starting this early, I am assuming it will be quite large. Can't wait to see all of the Ohio fanboys go crazy for the next year or so!

If this does end up being a B&M giga, I'd like to see them go outside of their comfort zone a bit. Add flat speed sections and twister sections along with large hills to keep the pacing dynamic and interesting. Basically a 300 foot Raging Bull.

While extremely hopeful,this looks too small to be the station or transfer track section. This may not be a roller-coaster at all, but some kind of stage...

The four hints I've found is:

1. They replied to a question on twitter: 308

2. They posted a picture on Facebook of Diamondback and said that the more of it the better.

3. They posted something about diving into action.

4. Cedar Fair bought back the Copyright/Trademark on the name Banshee.

 

It probably will be a B&M Hyper or Dive coaster that is 308 feet tall and called Banshee.

The Beast got stuck today according to WCPO. Riders Get Stuck on Beast

MASON, Ohio - Some roller coaster fans at Kings Island got a big scare while riding The Beast on Tuesday.

 

The coaster became stuck at about 11 a.m. on the second lift hill, park officials said.

 

Spokesman Don Helbig said the riders were stuck for about 10 minutes before being escorted off the ride. Thirty people were on the ride at the time.

 

Apparently a malfunction with a computer-operated safety system caused the train of passengers to become stopped.

 

Helbig said the system is designed to pace all of the cars to make sure that the coaster cars don't get too close to each other and crash. He said this used to have to be done manually by an operator but is now computer-assisted.

 

When the system shut down, it caused the train cars to stop. While they were waiting, one rider had an anxiety attack and called 911 for help from the ride.

 

Helbig said no one was injured and the ride was reopened at about 12:30 p.

Prayers to those who became stuck on the Beast this morning. Such a tragedy. I hope everyone can recover and put their lives back together.

 

I mean a twister completely leveled a school with kids in it 2 days ago, and the news is reporting a coaster SAFETY SHUT DOWN????

 

Of course, this is Cincinnati. Typical Ohio news casts.

 

They cover stupid stuff like, "Dog can fart Tic Tok by Ke$ha. Tonight at 6!!!"

Must have been a very, very slow news day.

That had to be an extremely slow news day. I am willing to bet if the woman didn't call 911 that we wouldn't hear about it even if we were at the park that day.

It was this morning!

 

I am going to the park at 730 tonight, and hosting a candle lit vigil in memory of the 30 people who were evacuated off the ride. Anyone care to join me?

Or who can forget the woman who called 911 from Harry Potter claiming she was stuck upside down...

 

I'm not sure what frustrates me more: that people are this stupid, or that the media gives them a spotlight for it.

It would have turned her world upside down.

Back to the subject, how come when the ride shut down, the lift didn't restart as planned?
