Freshly painted/cleaned support beams, basin and splash bridge! Shouldn't be too long now until we see it up and running again."

I would still like to see some Banshee merchandise sold online in the Kings Island Marketplace just as Gatekeeper merchandise was sold in 2012 in the online Cedar Point Marketplace.....Although the Kings Island Marketplace still has a section named "New For 2012"...So I guess it could be a while until its updated....New for 2012 at Kings Island merchandise anyone?....

Banshee Cam is down.

Knotts has confirmed that their WindSeeker is in fact heading to Missouri to become SteelHawk in 2014.... http://www.kshb.com/dpp/news/local_news/planned-worlds-of-fun-attraction-has-checkered-past

Awesome trip report and good photos! The park is looking good, at least I'll be there tomorrow!!

Flight Deck or Iron Dragon...? Well.... I'd have to say that I wouldn't mind if The Big Bad Wolf came and blew Iron Dragon down..... But...That is only if the Gardens behind the Busch would have left the Wolf alone...

Someone knows...... (Kind of had to do it)

Great to know that you guys are having it again! I will definitely come and join the fun, If able to.

Not an update but a very weird inference made by me about the only Giovanola inverted coaster, Anaconda.... Does the color of the track look a little familiar?..... (Photo Courtesy of Richard Bannister of themeparks.ie)

The condition of the former park.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vh2KcyMDS0 In all honesty that is very sad to see, and in many different lights, very devastating to some.

Wow....Big Imagination...Maybe you could help out over at Disney...... ...and...also...If I'm not mistaken isn't there already other topics about this?...

Yes it's a different color Shaggy, Your not losing it, yet.

Things change everyday.....

Wow, McSalsa laid it all out right there! Great post! (or bad in some standpoints)

Signs of the times. As Terpy said. (Photo Courtesy of The New Kentucky Kingdom)

Very cool to see you on television Shaggy! Looks like you had an awesome experience! And you did a great job on there.

The worst thing that I hear guests say about Son of Beast when bringing it up in conversation : "What happened to Son of Beast?" "They tore it down because someone died on it."

Hunter/Olive Green would be very, very appreciated by me, if used for a re-paint. I've always loved the original color better than what we have now.....

"Next time YOU need to change out a light bulb........think of the guys that are working on THE GIANT WHEEL. Be sure to look for THE GIANT WHEEL when you come out to the Kentucky State Fair." (Photo Courtesy of The New Kentucky Kingdom) So could this mean Giant Wheel testing during the Kentucky State Fair?......Anything's a possibility.....

Great photos of BeastBuzz 2013 taken by CoasterImage.com......... http://www.coasterimage.com/beastbuzz-at-kings-island-the-day-in-photos/ There are some very HQ pictures of the Banshee area and overall good pictures of The Beast.

#1 tip for riding roller coasters. Arms down - Head Back - and Hold On ......Or so that's what I was told by a speaker at Cedar Point.....

It got much better in 2000 with the debut of the worlds tallest, fastest, only looping wooden roller coaster which would go on to rule the KI skyline for years to come.....Wait.....Would someone mind telling me where to find a roller coaster called Son of Beast?.... Oh that was 2009 huh?....
