Nick_Plummer 2107 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 This saddens me but I also laughed when I first saw it. Our first real snow of the season! 4 Link to post Share on other sites
flightoffear1996 4152 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 A real snow? It didnt stick to the sidewalks. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Tuskin 1175 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 People around here use the words "real snow" loosely. A real snow would consist of over a foot of accumulation to some people, while in the south, everything shuts down for just a dusting. It's interesting how someones take on snow can be so radical compared to another's. Take me for example, I don't consider what we get around her to be " real snow" sure maybe 1 or 2 storms a year we can actually consider it to be "real snow" but go to Minnesota, or any other northern state that gets lots of snow for that matter, and you are in for a rude awakening of what "real snow" is. ......but I digress, what was it we were talking about again? A new Roller Coaster being built? Ah yes. 7 Link to post Share on other sites
thedevariouseffect 14852 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 That or people who know and experience lake effect... Down here at WPAFB..people considered last nights dusting a bit of snow... I laughed at that this morning 1 Link to post Share on other sites
The Interpreter 82068 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I have lived in Atlanta. That place handles rain more poorly than Minnesota does snow. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
Kat 2770 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Hey, this is Cincinnati we are talking about. Around here, real snow is defined as ANY accumulation on the ground (not necessarily sidewalks) even if it is not a measurable amount (ie a scattered dusting, as shown above). At least, that's my definition. I think official definition is it has to be measurable by the people whose job it is to measure snowfall accumulation Side note, Banshee looks even more pretty in the snow! 6 Link to post Share on other sites
ethancoaster 1153 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Just a thought, but you know how Intimidator and I305 start off with an audio "start your engines"? What if at the beginning of Banshee, there was an audio Banshee scream? Just a thought..... 5 Link to post Share on other sites
thedevariouseffect 14852 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I would like the scream incorperated somewhere. I honestly think best spot would be lift crest. But seriously when Don reads through here incorperate that into the ride! It'd be a great add 4 Link to post Share on other sites
LoraX 11279 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 The only issue with the scream is if it were close to the line, it would be quite annoying while you are waiting. The night they announced it, the scream was not so annoying, but there was great excitement and anticipation. I think as you are the getting ready to hit max speed would be the best place for the scream. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
Kat 2770 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 ^ well if the line was closed and the ride was down, they could turn it off Link to post Share on other sites
upstop 12264 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Cincinnati? Here in Cincy, everything is like the butterfly effect. There can be a wreck at 71s in Erlanger, and the traffic will back up on Interstate 471. Add a light mist or dusty snow and forget it. People drive like old grannies on a dry sunny day, but like the Indy pace car as soon as it snows a few inches. Got to love it! 7 Link to post Share on other sites
OldieButGoodie 438 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Interesting how times change. I remember looking out the front window when I was in H.S. watching for the pavement to show through. If the blacktop was visible, we were going to school. Now, if there's any visible SNOW on the road they close... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Right at that moment would be great, plus that's far enough away from the station that it wouldn't get annoying.

Joncars05 2842 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I would like the scream incorperated somewhere. I honestly think best spot would be lift crest. But seriously when Don reads through here incorperate that into the ride! It'd be a great add I would love to see the Banshee scream incorporated at the top of the lift hill before the initial drop. I love pre-drop noises/sound fx. I think of it as the mark that signals the ride is about to get crazy. For example, the howl before the initial drop on Legend at Holiday World. I love that kind of stuff. 7 Link to post Share on other sites

davidw 1379 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I broke down and modified my capture script to upload the images to my website. I am uploading every image that I am collecting, but due to space restrictions, I am only able to keep 24 hours worth on my server.

fyrfyter 1113 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 grabbed a pic of Banshee as well today. Looks like a great ride. I like the way it looks with other nearby rides! 16 Link to post Share on other sites
CoasterMyths79 620 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Also, does anyone know if Banshee will have on-ride photo ops? I have also heard from KI that Banshee, Diamondback, and The Beast will be Early Ride Times for 2014 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Jr for Birdy 4007 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Banshee is on the ERT schedule for 2014. You edited your post so never mind. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
PKIVortex 3706 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I got a post card from KI this past week wanting me to purchase my season pass, it talked about early ride times, and it said including the new Banshee roller coaster, so I bet it is part of ERT next year! 3 Link to post Share on other sites

mikejenkins1 235 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 So it has been very quiet on the Banshee construction for a while. Figure that they have off till end of year? Seems odd but possible. Link to post Share on other sites
flightoffear1996 4152 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 My guess is that there might be a delay in making the track or supports. Link to post Share on other sites
