This thread now reminds me of this.....

The thing is.....IT JUST GENERATED MORE INTEREST IN THIS PROJECT!!!!......They don't need to advertise anything, because you guys just pushed the mystique of this coaster way up on the list for those who are interested. None of the information has been OFFICIALLY released about anything......just speculation!!!

I think it was just a test....and nothing more.

You know that they know that there is always someone out there tapping furiously on their mouse to open the website....probably since the crack of dawn today. They couldn't possibly test the site to see how it lays out on the net, so why not test with a bogus layout.

What if.....Banshee is not the name at all....what if the ride were called "The Reaper" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdMi_TW65Ho More cowbell please.....

My favorite was the "Shooting Star", I rode it when I was 6 years old with my sister and her friend.....it was terrifying.....but that is when I began my love for coasters!!!

Oopsie.....I was thinking too literally,

Doesn't the Banshee appear foretelling the death, a grim reaper of sorts? I'm not convinced that the name is Banshee, or that it isn't, but it's how I'll refer to it until the real name is released. It would make sense for it to be called "Banshee" because then all of the news outlets and random people on the streets would always call it "THE Banshee," thus fittingly angering all of the diehard ride enthusiasts among us. If it were up to me, I'd call it the Fiery Fist o' Pain, a la Spongebob Squarepants. And here is your Crabby Pattie.....

yes yes yes!!!! couldn't agree more!

No worries, you will be able to buy those items in the new "Banshee (or whatever)" gift shop for a nominal fee next year....hehehe

It matters to "Infinity"

Sounds like fun....But I'll just stand somewhere...

I think it's every 300 posts or so it changes.

The front car could be themed like Dueling Dragons where the front four riders sit in the Dragons mouth....in our case the supposed Banshee's mouth. http://rcdb.com/558.htm?p=2082

Oziris has a dive loop http://rcdb.com/9675.htm?p=39601 Edit: oops the was the immelmann, here is the dive loop: http://rcdb.com/9675.htm?p=39584 Ok edited list above.....hehehe

I know!!! Would you camp in a graveyard?

tallest fastest Edit: largest diving Immelmann loop first pretzel loop on an inverted coaster most inversions fastest line in park (until Fastlane opens for the day)

^^ wow do you think it could really be a diving/inverted stand up coaster??

I walked past the Guess your age/weight....and the young lady asked "Can I guess your birth date or your weight" and my answer was, "Can you guess my birth weight?".....She actually smiled and went to the next customer....LOL

Had to do it.

or "you were wrong" posts...hehehe

Yeah I was wondering if those were support beams (figured they were). I was wondering why they were black, but was thinking maybe, like the track, they haven't been finished yet? Though if they are unfinished they need to finish soon b/c they'll be going in I'm guessing starting at the end of the month, as soon as daily operation is done for the season and they go back to weekends. Perhaps those are primed with paint for the actual color to come later.

Actually, there is a flying coaster in China that uses one loading platform and not the dual type....this could actually be a flyer and not an invert... Maybe dual station was the wrong terminology. I was referring to how on Gatekeeper they have to load the train from the same side you unload as the car and track are in the way. I was just wondering if they had the car hang from the track if they could make it so you could pass through and speed the loading process. Fair enough!
