Hoosierjtf Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Cedar Point fans are jelly right now. How is that? They got this coaster 20 years ago. 6
KI FANATIC 37 Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Banshee beats Raptor! Im not picking fights, just teasing of course!
Tanna Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 I think the inversions and corkscrews will be large enough so that I don't get the dizziness I get on Invertigo. Can anyone verify this? Even if I were to grey out, the restraints look like I'll be in for the duration. Are the restraints as secretly sturdy as DBs? My niece is going to love this- this is definitely going to be a Fast Pass seller. The PR on this was amazing.
Maverick00 Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 There's already a Wikipedia page about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banshee_(roller_coaster) You mean this,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banshee_(roller_coaster) Now that link doesn't even work. How about this one?: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banshee_(roller_coaster)EDIT: For some reason these links stop working. There should be another parenthesis after coaster but for some reason it's not working. If you search it on wikipedia it'll come up just fine. 1
Hoosierjtf Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 The only proper way to replace Son of Beast would have been a giga that was at least 320 ft. and 95mph, 7000 ft.
TheCrypt Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 They made it a point to show a POV at night, but I couldn't discern a difference. Could someone please explain? It was darker, there was fog, and it was somehow even more awesome than during the daytime. That's what I thought, but why limit the fog to the night time? I'm unsure if this ride will actually have theming along the course or if everything was added in the rendering to further glorify the ride.
Dom497 Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 There's already a Wikipedia page about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banshee_(roller_coaster) Your welcome! 4
LordSkippy Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 The only proper way to replace Son of Beast would have been a giga that was at least 320 ft. and 95mph, 7000 ft. Ha. That's funny. 2
Maverick00 Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 There's already a Wikipedia page about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banshee_(roller_coaster) Your welcome! Hey you know I was a part of that too 3
Diamondback FOF Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Is it too early to start the official meetup thread for next April? 2
Millennium310 Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Cedar Point fans are jelly right now.How is that? They got this coaster 20 years ago. I couldn't agree more - there's no reason to be jealous because both parks are close to each other and part of the same family. Also, I take back what I said earlier about being disappointed. Banshee looks amazing!
SonofBaconator Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 It's official, all the coasters in Action Zone hang 8
Maverick00 Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 It's still strange seeing an Invert without a pre-drop. 3

kirbias1 Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 B&M just makes beautiful coasters. I missed you so much in my life, B&M. Intamin is a great coaster designer, but B&M is too. Intamin and B&M are the best anywhere.
kirbias1 Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 It's still strange seeing an Invert without a pre-drop. and a MCBR! 1
Ride On_17 Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 So sexy... I just want to--Oh wait... I do love B&M track, though. It's just so photogenic. EDIT: I just noticed the batwing looks like a heart. I guess the two of us were meant to be... 9
Hoeter Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 YoungStud, are you still with us? Haven't heard a peep outta him! Andrew, pleading the 5th...
KI FANATIC 37 Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Is it too early to start the official meetup thread for next April? Nope. I'll commit!
Rcoaster10 Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 WHERE'S YOUR GREEN INTAMIN TRACK NOW? Probably Dollywood 1
SonofBaconator Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 All this talk is making me hungry for a "pretzel" 5
sheikra_rocks Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 This is going to be a back seat ride like Montu! 2
LordSkippy Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 The one thing - the one thing - I was unsure of at the announcement was the color scheme, and it's already growing on me. 1
SonofBaconator Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 The one thing - the one thing - I was unsure of at the announcement was the color scheme, and it's already growing on me. I know! I thought it was going to be like a spooky green or orange but they went all Bizarro on the color. I love it
Fire-Beast-OF FEAR Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 I hope the tomb stones will be a part of the ride and not just in the renderings. 1
coasterfanatic83 Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 EDIT: I just noticed the batwing looks like a heart. I guess the two of us were meant to be... I thought it looked like a pretzel. But I am also hungry right now... 1
gingerkid Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Hey, saw oldiesman at announcment (or oldies guy) sorry, bad memory. Did anyone also notice no SOB station? 1
