Kings island just posted on twitter that everything is ready to "fly" for tomorrow night, not the least bit inconspicuous

That's very interesting, I just noticed that too. A shot in the dark, and probably just my personal preference, MAYBE this means "lots of airtime" hahahaha

I may have to prep my table to be flipped if it's a wingrider.

Guys, banshees are technically ghosts, right? That means they can fly, right?

They have you all right where they want you!

It's still an inverted coaster named Banshee.

^That would be awkward for all of us, yet so awesome.

Watch it be a flyer. We'll all be wrong yet it's still better than having it be a wingrider...

^Invert, flyer, or wing coaster; they'll all be good considering that whatever roller coaster they're building is starting on top of a hill and eventually diving down a 60-70 vertical foot slope.

I think it'd be hilarious if it's a flyer :D
And actually, now that I think about it, a flyer would be pretty logical other than firehawk being there, the layout given seems to fit really well with a flyer and for one it'd be down right amazing

So, kings islands gm just tweeted something about "winging" the announcement tomorrow...

Yeah the KI twitter said the exact same thing a couple days ago. This is all a response to the leaked blueprints to throw people off.

My sources are telling me that the blueprints are legit, Banshee is the name, and invert it will be.

I thought Don Helbig had moved to CF corporate? Or am I thinking of something else?

Don't CF already hold the record for tallest Wingrider? It doesn't quite make sense to beat your own record so soon after claiming it, if that was going to be the case surely you would let one hold the record and whilst with the other you would go down a different route, for example instead of height you go for a completely different experience like Say Raptor for instance?

I still expect them to take back the Invert crown.
