Banshee is my new number one night ride; with The Beast in a close second. Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.
-
Opposite of this. Why does the seat numbers matter? ** puzzled ** Because I like to tell someone the correct seat number when they ask what my favorite seat is. Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.
-
Pardon me if it was brought up before, but after a quick search I couldn't find a result for my question. I'm sure Don or someone else here could answer this. What seat is seat 1 on Banshee? Does the 1st seat start on the left or the right? I would think on the left as you load.

Small things that need changed at Kings Island.
Oldschool75 replied to OpSonofBeast's topic in Kings Island
Wifi in the park, Doubtful. change the parking row signs (update ride logos or add The Peanuts), Why fix what isn't broken? updates to FUNTV (such as games, news & music to fit the theme of the ride), Really? It's new this year. more spooky themeing to Action Zone (maybe rename the area to something like Thrills Zone), And the 25 Mil spent on Banshee and the other nice improvements weren't enough? LOWER PRICES to merchandise & food, It's a business, not a charity. the show that goes into the International Showplace Theater (after the 90s, please don't do any more decade shows), Some people like this stuff. Kings Island history museum of some sort, I'm sure they may have something some day. complete removal of the big clock behind the Eiffel Tower, Umm NO! did I mention lower prices on food & merchandise? again not a charity, business has to make money to build rides and make improvements. But over all the park (especially AZ) is awesome! Good job Kings Island & Cedar Fair! b^.^d -

Double post -
A burial ground..Yes. Indian probably not

I just rode it. It's fine folks. Does not hamper ride experience at all except a delay in loading And unloading. Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

I think it got recalled with the other wieners, so no appearances until the cheese is removed.

6th Annual Coasting for Kids - Sunday, June 8
Oldschool75 replied to jcgoble3's topic in Kings Island
Just an update. I am giving away 2 Cincinnati Reds Fireworks Friday tickets for the May 9th game. Every $5 you donate gives you a chance to win. I am drawing the name for the tickets on May 4th. http://support.gktw.org/site/TR?px=1003190&fr_id=1236&pg=personal -
Was listening to Frank Marzullo (sp?) on WLW on the way home. He said that he calculated the windchill on Banshee this morning at 18 degrees. So I broke my personal record of coldest ride temp on a coaster of 52 degrees . Lol. It was worth it.
-
I think it's finally time to lock this thread since construction is finished, and Banshee is giving rides.
-
I had a blast. Rode Banshee 9 times. Rode rows 1,2,4,5,7,8. Best seat is 8-1 or 8-4. The best element is the zero-G into the Batwing. I got lucky for my first invert (full circuit) ride, 1st row. I was glad to see many of you today. To those who missed it; you need to get up there and ride it.
-
I'm at check in
-
Glad you are ok. Well time for bed. See everyone in the morning. I should be up there around 5.

I hear he trolls these forums sometimes. Hehe

Reminds of another area of the park from years ago.

It's a disease of the younger generation called "Ineedattentionbefirstthatsnotfairitis".

Predicted Weather for Kings Island Opening day?
Oldschool75 replied to kingsislandfan1972's topic in Kings Island
Wasn't it supposed to be in the low 69's and raining today? That is why you can't trust the forecast, especially this far out. -
I will have you know I don't post every time Banshee or DT is testing. I spend a lot of my time at work so that's rather impossible It's awesome to see her testing and figure out where she is and such, but if it bugs you that much I won't do it anymore. Spoilsport Edit: the top of Delirium now seems orange-ish as well.... this appears to have changed within the last hour as the image I took last hour didn't appear to look like it does now. I'm not going to bother posting a pic this time though. Y'all know the link, y'all can look for yourselves. *tries to limit the amount of time she spends off topic* Maybe we should make a thread about Delirium? *will search and do that* Sorry, I wasn't directing it at you. Just in general. Seems like every time an update showed up on my app, it was always that "a ride was running". Maybe it came off as a little harsh; and I apologize for that.
-
Unfortunately I won't be there Opening Day. Since I am going to Media Day and taking off work, I will be working Friday, and taking off work Saturday for my first wedding anniversary.. I love KI, but I love my wife more and will be devoting my energy to celebrating our marriage that weekend. Hope everyone has fun on Friday.
-
I'm not trying to be a party pooper or negative Nancy, but must we post every time Banshee or another ride is testing? The park opens in a week, so rides will be cycling. I think the multitudes of previous "(insert ride name here) is testing" posts has conveyed the point that the park is ramping up for the operating season.
-
Is it me, or did Delirium queue get some love?
-
If my memory serves me well, years ago; kids wouldn't be caught dead wearing black socks with gym shoes. That was something old people were laughed at for doing. Seems to be all the fashion rage with the young now.

I really hate the lack of research these days by "journalists".

I think Deirdre would be a great name.
