The Banshee announcement video showed the water tower and target, Flight Deck in gray and not rethemed, and Delirium with a checkered paint job.

Best to not put much stock in the non-Orion things in the video.

There's a difference between showing things as they were at the time of the announcement and showing something that hasn't existed in years. Whoever put that in there made a conscious decision to make it backwards.

Ah I see, the hill is 287 feet tall and has a 300' drop. So is that a grey area as far as being a giga concerned? Is it drop height or hill height that's gets it that title?

 one of only seven giga coasters in the world, a class of roller coasters having a height or drop of 300-399 feet.

So says the park.

Just curious, why does the ride stat on KI website say   "Length of First Drop: 447 feet"?

Angular distance. Hypotenuse of the triangle.
