silver2005 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I think that photo really illustrates the length and the unique, sprawled out layout of Banshee quite well, especially compared to other B&M inverted coasters which are mostly more compact rides. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coasterama Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 It's so weird that just 6 months ago, there were only footers, now we have a beautiful and shiny roller coaster that's almost finished. Can't wait to ride it this summer 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adventuro Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I'm almost as excited about the station as I am about the ride itself. The exit stairs look really cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themuska11 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Do you think all the hard hats have the Banshee logo or just ones being wore in the videos? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It loads but bascially won't play because the connection here is just that slow.... oh well.

thedevariouseffect Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 By the way thank you to Don for the construction videos and progress. Its nice to see some new visuals and details about the construction in things other than words and pictures Why can't Kings Island do a blog and podcast like CP it's shown to be successful.. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Why can't Kings Island do a blog and podcast like CP it's shown to be successful.. There is a Banshee blog: https://www.visitkingsisland.com/Banshee/the-evidence/wail-of-the-Banshee-blog?cat=Banshee (Admittedly, it's well-hidden on the site. I only found it because I had subscribed to the "KI photo of the day" RSS feed last season.) Not every park has to do exactly what CP does; a certain chairman/CEO has left the company. I echo the thanks for all the pictures, webcams and timely construction details; it has been really neat watching this project take shape. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedevariouseffect Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 It's not the parks being the same exactly it's that the content at one is really quite nice. You have to admit the pointcasts are pretty nice to have. The blog is...eh at times. But some good articles do exist. For KI...there's really none of it. Only thing I don't like is the advertising and stuff on Twitter more than other platforms. I see no need to be on any and every platform especially one that uses symbols in place of normal punctuation 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
