    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

Did you learn anything though, because my Social Studies teacher always said going off topic never hurt anyone as long as you learned something.

A fan possibly trying to stay off topic to avoid an assignment.

Ok to be on topic if you know what you are looking for you can see Banshee through the trees as you are going up 71 north. I was in the passenger seat and could see the color of the transfer structure through the trees. Not very well, but it is visible :)

I think we will start to see more track and supports going up once Labor Day weekend is over or in other words tomorrow.

Agreed. Can't wait to see how much changes by Sunday! :)

The current Banshee structure just looks enormous in person. I took a couple good shots with my Sony in the Eiffel Tower.

Great pics! It really is massive in person. This weekend, I kept trying to picture for myself just how well it's going to interact with the midway.

It truly is going to be awesome, and not in the 21st century watered down way.

That dive loop right over the walkway it going to be just jaw dropping and even now the stature of this is just massive.

EDIT: Is that structure in front of the transfer tables the future station?

^That dive loop may end up just as impressive as the first immelman on Griffon.

I'm from an age where a flasher was something much more common, but entirely different.

Don't look, Ethel!

Let me go grab another Snickers! ;)

As terp has stated Flash is a dying art. I know flash, quite well I might add, but html5 has long surpassed the flash age. Any web builder that uses flash is wasting time, when html5 can do much, much, more. Don't expect phones to have flash capabilities anymore, its pointless.

they're starting early this morning! they've got the small crane up.

and it looks like they have the track in place to go up!

It's really hard to tell, but it looks like they have the track up where the station turns into the lift.

Its hard to see, but they did add some track where the turn out of the station is.

THEY HAVE TRACK UP COMING FROM THE STATION AND STARTING TO CURVE UPHILL

Yeah, now that I look at it harder it does look like the might have it all the way, if my eyes aren't deceiving me that is very impressive.

Looks like we have the station track, and the 2 curved sections before the first lift section in place!

Looks amazing, I wonder if we will start seeing the lift going up here soon.

I totally love these pictures. Can't wait to ride this next year. I have always wanted a inverted coaster at Kings Island and I have finally got my wish. And this is going to be a awesome coaster.

The area between the transfer track and the first track support before the turn left to go up the lift looks like a small area for the station to squeeze into.

I have always thought the station looks small, but I'm sure it will work!

Keep in mind that the station for Banshee does not need to be as long as that of Diamondback., because Banshee fits as many riders into half as many rows by going four across. So the Banshee station only needs room for eight rows instead of sixteen.

I have always thought the station looks small, but I'm sure it will work!

Have you ever ridden Raptor?

Or any of the Batman clones?

Smallest stations ever.

I can assure you that the station for Banshee will work. They aren`t going to install a ride as expensive as Banshee if the loading station doesn`t work.
