We met at the Banshee announcement!

^I read a post somewhere on KIC that mentioned the same setup on Beast will most likely be used on Banshee, with the extra-long break run acting as MCBR.

Thanks for your kind words! It was really hard to keep it in general terms and not go into big explanations about different aspects of Banshee

Hey KIC! I recently wrote an article about Banshee and Kings Island for my school's newspaper. Feel free to read here: http://elderhsquill.org/3546/features/Banshee-leads-thrill-list-at-kings-island/ Thanks guys! - Diamondbacker

Aha! Diamondbacker, avoiding a one word post.

Could it be? Do we have a theme on a FUN coaster?

I hope it's not. I have a larger friend who can't fit in many seatbelts at KI, and I only get to ride DB with him.

^Why do you think that post means that we'll get backwards Racer again? Diamondbacker, just curious. (Here's the link to that post: https://www.facebook.com/visitkingsisland/posts/10152670321858368:0)

I have another one! How about the name Desire? If there's a streetcar named Desire, why can't a Bolliger & Mabillard inverted roller coaster be named Desire too?

How about Missouri Jane?

That would be cool to marathon Banshee at the wee hours of the night. I'd like to see a lock in at the park some time.

The same ones as last year, honestly. I understand that you're excited about the new season coming, but its best to not crowd the forums with multiple different topics. Also, if you were to pose another question like this, it would go best under the section "KI Polls".

^I didn't know about the longer halftime, thank you Johnathan. I don't know about you, but I can't stand it. The game is long enough as is, speed it up. I understand the strategy behind the fouls and the timeouts, but honestly I'd rather see a team play good defense to get the ball back rather than just fouling in order to get the ball back. I also don't understand why teams who are winning at this time decide to make both free throws. Make the first one, then clang the second off the rim and get a rebound. You get fouled again, and you repeat. You wouldn't risk allowing the other team to get back in the game, plus you may even score more points.

^I don't know about that. It seems like the halftime sessions are running extra long during the games, and the two-minute timeout/free throw bonanza at the end of each game makes it go alot longer than usual.

After reading all 26 pages of this 'scary' thread, I've deduced that this was a thread, much like the one about the wooden coaster of infamy, which drove away multiple posters from KIC. But some of the more modern usernames popped up, and it was cool to see what people posted ten years ago. You could say that this thread and its old users has haunted KIC for 11 years.

Devan, did you see the one Zack Galifinakis did with President Obama? I was dying! Haha please Terp and Boddah make it happen! I can see it now: The Terpy and Boddah Show! You can talk about the best posts of the week on KIC and then speculate about new things popping up around the park!

I think a new woodie would fit perfectly in the park. I wish we could get something like GoldStriker out at CGA, it looks like such a good ride.

^Here you go, sir. Kraken by Diamondbacker, on Flickr

^i have good hair now! I can't lose it because of an old female spirit! Or maybe I can. She looks pretty in purple.

Had to post this here. I love how The Bat looks right now. TheBat3 by Diamondbacker, on Flickr EDIT: I do not own this image. I found this image on Kings Island's website, and the image can be found here.

Kat, I'm 17 and 6'5". If I keep growing (projected to be 6'8") I will be a sad camper.

Max Height of 78 inches? I might only get to ride it once if I keep growing.

Take a visit to UC! It's not as big as OSU but we've grown so much.

Only 31 days until Opening Day, my friend.
