Banshee Construction Progress

Featured Replies

Just curious, is Banshee the only inverted to have its lift go through an inversion?

I'm pretty sure another does. But I'm not positive.

    We did not mention all the statistics during the announcement because statistics are not what make a roller coaster great; it's the ride experience it delivers that makes it great.

  • It's good to see me, isn't it? No need to respond! That was rhetorical. Under 30 days until Banshee makes its public debut! We can't wait for you to come out and experience this ride.

    We have guests that are more excited about our live shows than our roller coasters, that visit the park specifically for the shows. For these guests, the Cirque Imagine announcement was as exciting as

Lets say it has one. Do you think we are really gonna notice it that much?

Uh, yeah!

^ I would that. I hate enclosed spaces and the queue for the Raven took all I had to stand in line for it.

I read this and thought, "He must not like Flight of Fear", but then I saw who posted and, well, my brain lost track of any logic it had.

The shirt I got was $17.99, it was the black one. I noticed that the gray ones were the cheapest and the colors were $17.99.

I was really hoping for Hoodies though.

Just curious, I know this has nothing to do with the construction progress, but I was curious if KI will have Banshee T-Shirts available online to buy? I didn't quite have the money to buy the T-Shirt this weekend and want to buy it at a later date.

I have been following the decoding thread for quite some time now this is my first time posting.

I will admit I am not a huge fan of inverts. And while I am somewhat disappointed we are not getting a giga or a blitz coaster, I am still very much excited of this ride. Can't wait to see this thing start going vertical.

I have a question about the construction progess, has any vertical construction started yet? I'm on mobile so i can't watch the web cams to see what's going on.

It don't appear so. Last week though they said soon, So I would say it's just a matter of time! I'm sure the transfer track will be first, as these are the first pieces we have seen.

It's just like a baby anything....it's precious no matter the type....and we are naturally drawn to it.

I was hoping Kat would swing by CSF this morning on her way to church and let us know if the trailers were still there or not..

I believe Don or Greg said that it will start at the end of this week. I believe.

Don said on WLW that we should see it going vertical this week.

I'm curious...wondering where KI got the sound of Banshee

You can make your own sounds ya know...

What I really want is a detailed blue print of all the differen heights of the ride.

I would imagine we'd see a lot more activity come today (Monday), since The Bat is out of the cage. We shall see though.

I have a feeling the drop on Banshee will be a lot like Afterburn (Top Gun) at Carowinds which is also a B&M invert.

I also just rememberd Batman The Ride in Six Flags Over Georgia. B&M invert with a curved first drop

I think just about all of them have a curved first drop.

Yeah thats what Im starting to realize

Send in the cranes!

There ought to be cranes!

And then it's next year!

Isn't that rich?

Maybe a pair?

Lifting supports that are blue, high in the air

Yes, they will use cranes,

They have to use cranes,

Don't worry - they're neae!

Mass Effect 3...the Banshees from that game (if you haven't played, try fighting them on insanity mode, it's a fail, and they suck, and actually kinda spook you (had one in my sniper scope and it teleported right in front of me and impaled me, that sucked, and scared the heck out of me.

What do the t-shirts look like? Anyone got pics?

And why aren't they selling them online yet??

*Looks at Kings Island marketplace website*

"New for 2012!!"

Ohhhhhh.

I'd love it if there was a linticular print of the logo, with the subtle movement of the hands and hair like in the intro videos! I've heard it's possible on fabric.

(FTWDK ~ Lenticular printing is that 3D effect on some baseball cards and cereal boxes, etc., where it looks like the subject is moving, or is in 3d, or both).

I think just about all of them have a curved first drop.

They all have a straight drop. If they had a straight drop a taller rider could get their leg caught in the seat in front of them.

I think our's has the steepest curve drop of all.
