Music played during the announcement https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnv5F-etIHc&feature=youtube_gdata_player These should be in the queue, really fit the ride. Also included was some pop songs of course, but themed music involved a few other ok orchestrations such as one from the new man of steel, another es posthumous track, and two other tracks I couldn't identify

Mosquitos don't though :-P

Wow, I really miss that park, and what I would do to see what it looks like today & take a stroll through it... I still hate that double loop was just sold for scrap, same as villain. Very underrated and very great rides

Skyflier is always great, if it's cheap I'll do it, I prefer slingshot just because of the initial launch is brilliant. But the first swing of skyflier is just wow... Both great rides, for only 5 bucks

I don't understand how these restraints have an issue, I may not like the vest but my shoulders don't hurt because of them

Carousel. Very historical, very nostalgic, and really is underappreciated and unloved by many. It deserves alot more than the substandard cleaning, maint, and ridership than what it currently has

You are safe, you are fine, look at B&M's safety record & the ride op/maint. training and procedures. You are FINE... Anytime a guest says something, we actually take action & so does maint. The actual occurrence of a true emergency, highly doubtful, but if they say something it is investigated, and you are ok... Moving on

Here's the other thing I look at Banshee as...all of the refinements in just this ride, trains, ect. B&M has had time to refine everything for inverts over their time, this is going to be as of now the best the company can put forward for an invert. It's going to deliver well. It's not like the first inverts that were somewhat concepts and ideas. This product is established and now has had it's trial and error phase. Were getting the best of the best

Love the layout and theming...music and stuff after the lift hill would get annoying...especially all the random stuff they put in

Good trip report...but is it a trip report...or picture trip report :-P For only being in the park a few hours you actually got quite alot done that's awesome

And neither is second lift hill to nowhere :-P

No...ae is getting torn down... Super serious

Lol but it's from mass effect however :-P

I just wish it broke all records for it's class to make it the top in the world, that's all, other than that I'm ganna love it

I'm excited, do I wish it was a bit taller and faster and probably more intense, of course and that's how it always will be. Being an enthusiast we will always want more, that's a given. For what we have though, I'm more than impressed. I will say though there are many questions I have though about the ride I'd like to have the answer to

Just watching the vids...I also noticed all the low areas of the ride are littered with tombstones...I really hope that stays. Also again, played some me3...that scream needs to stay. I played insanity mode against Banshees..that sucked

As long as the previous train clears the safety brakes (first set of brakes on the run) the next train can advance no issues. So far here's the block system for what I see using this image and what appears to be brakes in the track (also in the POV they make noise, I hope magnetic brakes are used here as well, B&M did a great job with those Station (Block One), End of Station to lift crest (Block Two) Lift Crest to First Brake Run--Safeties (Block Three) First Brakes to Second Set (Trim/Transfer brakes) Transfer brake overlap previous block Completed loop back to station So theoretically, they will have one train running course, next train advancing on lift, train one on course hits brake & passes it, slides through, block is clear, train on lift advances. Third train either advancing or in station awaiting next dispatch. This theoretical can be hit, there are several other coasters without MCBR's that send early as long as they don't dispatch prior to interval, the blocks shouldn't set and there shouldn't be an issue. I also will say as much as I'm surprised by the restraint design change, looking at wingriders with this restraint, the ride should be able to load and unload fairly quickly given a quick and easy restraint. The only thing that would hold this back is a crew that doesn't have senior experience ride ops running it, which I doubt they'll do. Only question I have as I've never thought about it, most B&M transfer tables take load off of the wheels and the train sits on skids and brakes lock it in place, however being an invert, do the wheels get relieved of pressure or do they stay on the rails at all times?

1. Banshee scream is from a video game, I do hope they keep it too (Mass Effect 3) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQ6ab5X7nnY 2. B&M now is going with same restraints many of you have seen with B&M Wingriders (OTSR bars w/ rubber vest) 3. I hope the tombstones/fog stay at nightime riding, if this ride has a slight bit of theming that would be totally exciting 4. Station does look similar to Leviathan, Gatekeeper, ect. 5. No MCBR, just a bit of a lengthy brake run 6. Unless they're ganna plant a ton of trees, I don't think that's ganna stay looking like that 7. With the terrain difference, do we kind-of have a mega coaster? 8. 2:40 ride time, darn! 9. Great announcement, very pleased with the result 10. Track color/support color go really good together! 11. I hate and love that I'm going to Guam next February now haha

Specs on the new ride!!! It's ganna be a B&M stand up, name is crotch rocket

Magnum beats DB in practically everytime...dunno what rcoaster10 is talking about

Lol I'd laugh if you find people there watching the site in preparation of the announcement "Ok people, move along, there's nothing to see here"

Yes One word post, not one word post now

No words..

^S&S Sansei sir

I vote Cobra...it's not even here
