    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

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

I don`t think the entrance will be right by the restroom, based on the plans that were posted last week. Looks more like the entrance will be closer to where the graveyard display is currently set up.

Glad to see ride pieces finally on site! I`m really excited to see this thing start to get built!

This is the picture KI tweeting this morning. Just thought I would share it with you.

Before you know it, Terpy will be here talking about how he loves cranes. He wants to live in cranes. If it was socially acceptable he would drape himself in cranes. :P

Also just looking back, this thing is ganna stick out so well in the park, looking through pics here and there, look at the blue supports. They just stick out like a sore thumb in the pic, this ride is ganna look good.

Another small update, lack of rides & stuff in the video means nothing. Eiffel Tower didn't have elevators in the video, guess that means no more observation tower :P

Dear Banshee,

Please allow your ghostly wails to draw people away from Diamondback next year. It will be much appreciated! (I know its not going to happen).

Nothing wrong with that. My second favorite Arrow looper comes out over the midway.

And I'm not talking about the obvious one. The one I'm referring to is blue, but it's also yellow and orange too.

EDIT: you meant "stick out" as in, be noticeable I suppose. Oh well. The one I'm regerring to sticks out by both definitions, lol

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

Is it inaccurate to call it a pretzel? I know it's not the same as the pretzel on, say, tatsu, but it looks similar to me at least in shape. It looks nothing like Montu's batwing or the one on Vortex IMHO.

I don't think you have to worry about that.

When I saw the presentation video, my first thought was "look! A pretzel!" It is what it is, and let's be honest, 90% of the riders are going to refer to it as "the pretzel".

I feel it's redundant for me, with this avatar, to say I like the colors, but I do. I'm really hoping all of AZ takes on this fantasy theme.

Thanks to the people that are posting pics- I'm joining in the fray via your eyes and cameras. I know when the cranes will be landing.

Actually from my experience 90% of riders are going to refer to it as "that part where you go like this and then like this"

Has anyone been able to tell if it's Adena or Mosley doing the steel?

I've been using Pretzel Knot and so far no one that I have seen has jumped aboard. (Because of the exit and entry paths crossing over one another but the track actually twisting..unlike a pretzel loop; pretzel knot has been used on a coaster before.)

But if you join today I can promise you free water at any Kings Island drink vendor!

I can promise the water even if you don't join..

It was stated at the announcement that it will be Adena doing the steel.

If the ghostly wails don't pull them away, the Fastlane will...

Sweet, a Freightliner Cab Over. That is something you don't see very often these days.

I saw coaster track on a flat-bed on Montgomery Rd. at Kemper (looking out the Starbucks at Harper's Point)- assumedly heading north to Columbia Rd... Time to go vertical!

Sweet.. Wonder how long until Gov. Kasich shows up toting how its all Ohio jobs.

Adena are good guys my FIL has worked with them on industrial jobs.

Reminds me of two things

Old Optimus Prime

The truck the T-1000 chases John Connor in

I was thinking Prime too :) Banshee, transform and roll out!

Now you have me wishing we could get a Transformers ride now... 2017! LOL never. I was on opening crew of Spiderman at IOA.. there was 100 Million in the development but apparently there are Chinese knockoffs now. Saw one on TPR
