If they don't play R.E.M. during the announcement, I'll be disappointed.

That's not how you spell KIGA?

With regards to the lineup discussion... Banshee is actually the worst B&M invert. It’s okay. Mystic Timbers, Diamondback, and Beast are the only worthwhile rides there at this point.
You guys better ride the Kiga when it opens because that thing is gonna be rattly as **** in a few years.

Banshee is okay but it's still better than inverts like Silver Bullet, Patriot, and Talon at least.

Can't speak for Silver Bullet or Patriot, but Talon is for sure better than Banshee. Quality ride that is.
Y'all just need to go ride Nemesis.

No, its a strangely highly opinionated ride - as is the entire park.
I thoroughly enjoyed my one and only visit and hope to go back to get on the Kiga in whatever form it takes. Will also gladly get to reride the others, shame Firehawk wont be there but at least Vortex might be (another hot potato).

No. I still have banshee as my favorite or 2nd favorite invert.
As for Kiga, this teaser campaign is interesting. Though truthfully it doesn't matter as i'm sure it'll be a great ride even if it isn't everything the fanboys want

Talon is SOOOOOO good. Banshee is too rattly but has a fantastic layout.

Made a very quick pop in and out of the park today to nab some construction photos!
Footers are now going in. We have footers for the turn back into the station and the transfer track poured and ready to go. They can be seen both from up on Eiffel Tower and between fence slats in X-Base.
Enthusiasts lose it over dirt, go nuts over concrete, and the second it goes vertical it looks slow/rough.
It looks like we’re maybe a third to half done with footers from what’s visible? They’re all over the place, some are done but some are still holes in the ground.
Work up by Racer’s turnaround seems to be taking shape as well. Footers are popping up in various stages of completion.
Got some special deliveries on site! Can’t wait until there’s big blue steel pieces here!
This one you can clearly see the almond-shaped holes in the footers, which should kill any remaining doubt its B&M.
She’s looking good and they’re making quick work of it! Wonder if it’ll be like Mystic where we were walking around on Last Rides night with a nearly completed lift hill towering over Rivertown. Or Copperhead where there was a shiny new coaster ready to show off but not operate during Winterfest. Cedar Fair’s build speed usually impresses me these days and this is no exception. Can’t wait for things to really get interesting!
