Your Banshee Experience
My wife said the line snakes its way all the way over near Diamondback (see what I just did?). I feel REALLY fortunate I got my rides in yesterday.

Banshee Construction Progress
What can I say? She is my new, favorite ride. Wish I could have captured a picture of the sun coming up as we entered the valley toward the Batwing. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

Something new besides Banshee for 2014?
Understanding the reasons they do not, I would just be thrilled if the Red and Blue trains of The Racer actually "raced" all the time.

I volunteer to occupy that empty seat.

Banshee Construction Progress
If I saw A Flock of Seagulls, I would run so far away... And I bet you couldn't get away.

Something new besides Banshee for 2014?
My bet is a new live show that will culminate in a daily human sacrifice. The lucky victims will be selected from internet forums/message boards; specifically those individuals who consistently fail to capitalize proper nouns or who cannot distinguish between the proper usage of the words "your" or "you're".

Banshee Construction Progress
I just hope it is not a crop circle. That would be a bad sign. * Signs is a 2002 film and was made by Touchstone Pictures, Blinding Edge Pictures, and the Kennedy/Marshall Company. It was commercially distributed by Buena Vista Pictures

Banshee Construction Progress
Hopefully it is bench seating so my wife has a place to "sit-out" the Banshee while my daughters and I ride it. She cannot stomach inverted, looping, roller coasters. If not, she will be happily be off riding The Beast or Diamondback.

KI Throwback Photo of The Day
These were a little beat up, but they scanned. This was either the opening year, but no later than the 1973 season. The first picture is my sister, Lambsy and me. There is even a classic tram in the background. The second photo shows that even back in the 70's, I took my driving VERY seriously.

the Partridge Family at Kings Island
His name was Bristle Hound and he constantly tried to save Lambsy from Mildew the Wolf, in It's the Wolf. This was a segment of the Chattanooga Cats show. I am not trying to be a know-it-all because I had to look this one up. I did not remember the cartoon because I was only 2 or 3 when it aired. Bristle Hound and Lambsy were prominently mentioned in the Enchanted Voyage theme song (I did know that one). I actually researched it because this weekend I found a picture of my sister and me with the character, Lambsy, at Kings Island. It was in a photo album my mom gave to me. I will have to scan it and post at some point because it was either taken in '72 or '73.

Mission For you Photoshoppers!
Speaking as an 11 year old me in 1979, you would have heard no such complaints. Kings Island was in need of a new coaster. And what they gave us, at the time, was a coaster on steroids. I still remember being a little apprehensive getting onto the ride. When I went up the first hill, I remember thinking, "What did I get myself into here?". By the time the ride was over, I wanted to go stand in line for another two hours and do it again.

Banshee Construction Progress
I wonder if they have track or support pieces left over just like I have excess nuts and bolts when assembling a Sauder televison stand.

Banshee Construction Progress
Looks like another piece of track is about to be installed. At least it seems to be staged right near the support.

Banshee Construction Progress
Will it be playing Banshee Screams Or Taylor Swifts "I knew you were trouble when you walked in"? A Banshee scream and Taylor Swift are pretty much interchangeable. Although the Banshee is more attractive.

First Roller Coaster Ride
Scooby Doo in 1973. I do not believe I was tall enough to ride The Racer until 1974.

Enchanted Voyage Footage
The Enchanted Voyage theme song has been my primary ringtone for several years. It was my favorite ride as a young child and my first ride at the park in the summer of 1972. I constantly tell my daughters, I wish I had a time machine so we could all go back and ride it together. I recently joined (officially) as a member. I always thought of myself as a KI fanatic until I started reading through the posts and forums here. It is a great site and wonderful source of historical information.

What to expect on the last day of the season.
Is there anything in the TOS that addresses excessive punctuation?
