Best invert ever? That waits to be seen. The layout is sure impressive, but the restraints could ruin it. Only time will tell. Certainly looks to be a good, if not great, ride that will complete Kings Island.

It's interesting that they're calling it the first female-inspired roller coaster in the CF chain. That's a bit sad that it's taken this long.
Also http://rcdb.com/2516.htm?p=9660 I guess that doesn't count.

From Paramount days I guess.
Having not been on a wing rider but multiple flyers, I LOVE the restraints. It allows more freedom, you won't headbang (never a problem anyways) and they look really nice.
I'm not a fan of a few things though. First, no corkscrew, the invert staple. Second, in line twist. I understand this isn't your typical invert layout, but it just seems weird. Other than that, love it.

Cedar Fair first true female-themed thrill ride. :wink:
While it aint the tallest invert, I'll take it! Very cool layout with a good concept. Look forward to riding this for real.
Video of the announcement is processing right now, photos are on the Facebook and Front Page.

I love the colours of the track and supports <3 Nice to see another invert without the pre-drop being built, looks like it has quite a cool layout too. But "the first female inspired thrill ride at a Cedar Fair company" - really?! Are the trains going to have tits?

^crazy fact for you, women are more than walking boobs. I actually think it's really cool that they're thinking about female representation. I never would have even considered that if they hadn't brought it up, but it's true. We have Renegade and Maverick and Montezooma and two different Intimidators and Behemoth and Leviathan, but the only women I can think of are Tomb Raider (which isn't called that anymore) and Lucy's Crabbie Cabbie. It's not abortion legislation, but it's still a really cool thing for Cedar Fair to be thinking about.
I really love how it opens up that area. Flight Deck is still way far away, but it looks so much more inviting with that nice big plaza there. Say what you want about Cedar Fair, they're good at placing their rides.

I think the theme is lame and agree that "first female blah blah..." Is a worse claim to fame than "Psychocoaster".
Layout excites me. Love the drop into immel (or whatever thats called). Restraints worry me.. I feel like, if it ain't broke? What are you doing B&M, and why?

Re: Kings Island | "Unknown" | "Unknown"
Love the new train design!! It's both a lot better looking than the old one and will (hopefully) provide a less restricted view for passengers on row 2-8
It's just a shame it has taken B&M so long to evolve...
I really love the layout too! Nice and original, will be exciting to read reviews next year and see what people think of it!

Re: Kings Island | "Unknown" | "Unknown"
I'm not sure I like the inline twist, it's like they designed a wingrider and at the last minute were like "oh lets just make it an invert".
I get the appeal of them on a wingrider, but it just seems weird to have an unheartlined roll on an invert..

Hmmm, I'm not sure I like the new trains. I think I'm just being a purist... Great layout though, will be interesting to see how it rides the inline.

Re: Kings Island | "Unknown" | "Unknown"
I like the colour and I'm a sucker for loops that go around a lift hill/another section of track. It's a very twirly ride, I like the way it swoops and dives just like I imagine a banshee would.
Only thing that looks boring is the vertical loop followed by zero-g. Seems like a lot of B&M Inverts follow that trend.
All in all, it's great to see a new B&M invert being born. It's more exciting than a baby panda, that's for sure.
