UnrealNightmare Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 I'm not sure if anyone's posted this pic yet or not I don't remember seeing it anywhere. 24
thedevariouseffect Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Question for larger B&M invert enthusiasts. The large protrusions on top, are those just friction brakes or are those magnetic brakes too. Also the smaller four in the center? I'm guessing those are the magnetic brakes? Not too sure honestly
davidw Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 I know that there are other inverts that run magnetic brakes, so I would assume Banshee would too
thedevariouseffect Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Why would there be smaller brakes though? Hmm, puzzling I will say I do love the colors. I would have liked to pay homeage to Mantis/Bansee and have a similar color scheme, but I'll take this, it's still awesome
calakapepe Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 I think the colors aren't dark enough, but that's just me.
upstop Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Webcam on website (1:51 8/12/2013) Looks like they are starting to dig the footers for the station.
homestar92 Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Fun fact that is a little off topic: Gold Striker and Leviathan didn't have any tunnels in their animations either. Just some food for thought. 3
UnrealNightmare Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Because neither one of those coasters were designed to have tunnels on them at first. 3
Dom497 Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 I'm not sure if anyone's posted this pic yet or not I don't remember seeing it anywhere. The brake that is the highest off the track (first brake to the right) is a magnetic one. The rest are friction brakes. There are also one or two more magnetic brakes behind the blue transfer track piece.
homestar92 Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Because neither one of those coasters were designed to have tunnels on them at first. But what I was getting at is that we may yet end up with tunnels. 3
CoastersRZ Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Webcam on website (1:51 8/12/2013) Looks like they are starting to dig the footers for the station. They are not digging footings for the station just yet. But soon though, footings will be taking shape.
homestar92 Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Our ride is magenta.. Just observing. My college's colors are Black and Magenta. I'm glad this didn't get black supports now that I think of that. Otherwise I'd end up calling it "The Muskie Coaster" 3
Diamondbacker27 Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 I'm not sure if anyone's posted this pic yet or not I don't remember seeing it anywhere. The Track almost looks red. Needs a darker coat of paint. :/ 2
XGatorHead 8904 Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Send in the cranes! There ought to be cranes! And then it's next year! Thank you, Terpy, for bringing a sense of nostalgia back to the site! 7
RailRider Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 All these pictures of Trailers makes me think of my home away from home during the Diamondback construction... 6
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Banshee is really coming along nicely. I'm super excited! I want to be first rider. 1
KI FANATIC 37 Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 I'm curious...wondering where KI got the sound of Banshee They told YoungStud it wasn't an Intamin Giga, and that was the outcome. 28
Tanna Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Those colors are going to look boss in the skyline. Imagine pulling up to the gate and seeing that with the contrast of Invertigo. 5
jdf21972 Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 I'm not sure if anyone's posted this pic yet or not I don't remember seeing it anywhere. The Track almost looks red. Needs a darker coat of paint. :/ is this in the back lot ?
Hoeter Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 It's in the front. Same place it was Thursday when I drove past.
Cdeq Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 I have heard from a interview from don! -The entrance will be right by the bathroom in Az - steel should arrive this week! - should be done by end of February -4th row on each train will be for accommodate bigger guest 2
PyroKinesis Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 The Track almost looks red. Needs a darker coat of paint. :/ Looks nothing close to red, to be honest. 1
Cdeq Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 What if your a smaller guest. U have the reaming rows! It's like Gatekeeper
cincystona513 Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 Man does that batwing look pretty darn cool. Im used to Montu's batwing inversion, but Banshees is a whole new different kind of batwing. I dig it!
fryoj Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 I know they are going to call it a batwing, but its really a Norwegian Loop. A Dive loop into an immelman. But if I was in marketing, I'd probably call it a batwing too. lol 4
THE_BEASTmaster Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 Just checked the webcam, and looks like Banshee has arrived at the park. Wahoo!!! 2
