Kings Island on Facebook: "The winter weather, the kind that slows automobile traffic to a snail’s pace, has had little effect on the construction work for the new Banshee roller coaster at Kings Island. Work crews have fought rain, snow, cold and ice in their efforts to complete one of the most highly anticipated new attractions in the world for 2014. The track and electrical work is finished. Trains have been placed on the track. The landscaping and site work around the ride has begun. It’s just a matter of days now before the world’s longest inverted roller coaster makes its initial test runs." Photo : Don Helbig / Kings Island via Facebook

Diamondback testing on 3/6/2009. .......I guess reptiles move faster than ghostly wailing female spirits.....

I knew the reference, and that song predates me. So now I feel old. I'm much too young to feel this darn old. And the white line's getting longer and the saddle's getting cold...... .....Oh Wait....

The Paidia Company of Louisiana is planning to open "Jazzland Theme Park" on the site of the former Six Flags New Orleans park. The company delivered their proposal to the city on February 28th and they are expecting a response near the end of March..... Due to the fact that this is just a brief summary of the plans, more details can be found at the links below.

This discussion is already going on Here: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php/topic/28512-action-zone-re-theming-for-2014/ .....And as to the poll option, "Banshee Logo", Banshee's ID sign will be located in front of the station area.

Activity at the Banshee construction site......And a tweet from Don..... (This webcam can be found on Kings Island's website Here, Banshee Construction Cam) @KingsIslandPR on Twitter: Tweet can be found Here.

CoasterRadio.com's interview with Don Helbig, released yesterday........ http://blog.coasterradio.com/2014/02/coasterradiocom-817-off-season-update.html Mr. Helbig mentions that Banshee's third train will arrive next week.

On this date in 2009, Diamondback slithered its way through its second day of testing.

At this point, I am beyond confused as to why the park management / PR is doing the things they are doing......or not doing the things that they should be doing. I still wish Kentucky Kingdom the best of luck......... ........Because I believe they'll really need it.

If you are referring to the lights at the Coney Confections store, they are left on every night.

It looks like the Banshee lift hill lights will be on again tonight...... This webcam can be found on Kings Island's website, Here: Kings Island's Banshee Construction Cam

The lights on the Banshee lift hill have been left on all night......... Probably to test them and see if they are all working properly. This webcam can be found on Kings Island's website, Here: Kings Island's Banshee Construction Cam

It is not "pointless" to have Banshee Construction Cam 1 facing the direction that it currently is. Banshee Construction Cam 1 will be providing great views of Banshee testing once it begins.
