Cap section is now complete and yellow crane is picking up track

I wish they would position the webcams at different angles

Looks like they are about to set the first piece of drop track.

track/support completed so far:

Indeed they are.

15th track element in place and being installed.

track/support completed so far:

You forgot the two A-pillars at the bottom of the first drop.

I wish we could have more actual statistics released about the ride.. I think they're cool to know.

This is cool'

After riding Raptor several time over the weekend, I am so ready for Banshee!

I know right. Sure, they're not technically what makes a ride a great but they're still very interesting to know. I think it was sort of a letdown to be at the announcement for the single-largest investment in park history and they don't even tell us how tall it's going to be. Nor does it even have the height on their website. The only things we know from the website are it's speed, length, and number of inversions. Diamondback's website seemed to have almost every statistic imaginable!...

EDIT: We know how tall it is.. (167ft)

But I'm not sure when we were told, or where..

I know the height's 167 ft (RCDB), but I don't remember hearing it at the announcement. All I heard was 208 ft elevation change. Maybe I wasn't listening but I still think it should be on the site.

^^It is on the website.

Wow, the track is redder than I thought it was. Its almost like Firehawk.

I would hope sand in the tracks. Raptor is one of the most annoying, noisiest coasters I've ever rode. I am hoping they get smart and quiet that down. Just gives me a headache thinking about it.

Ditto. That was the first thing we rode on Friday night and I had never been on a full circuit invert and it was just so incredible!!!

Its more maroon, this picture the lighting must be off or somthing. The supports are almost the same color and Delerium supports.

Ok, I really wish I could see it in person, I haven't been to Kings Island in two years!

I've said it before, but I'll say it again.

B&Ms are the sexiest things I've ever seen.

Even though I'm already going with someone to homecoming, I'm tempted to ask out Banshee instead.

That'd be one ugly date.

I think I could be able to see the inner beaty...The cool steel...The romantic colors...It's a match made in Heaven...

If I'm acting like this now, I don't even want to know what this off season is going to be like.

Banshee takes awhile to get ready and have all her work done to be able to go out in public.. Much longer than the normal girl. I advise against it.

My poor Banshee:

This is getting weird. Anyways, when you see Banshee in person it looks nothing of DB or Firehawk's red as previously mentioned.

Since some people like the roar and some hate it, I think they should separate all the track pieces and only place it in certain ones to create a somewhat neutral chopping/helicopter noise as the train flies past.

Raptor is what I call a first generation invert. I can only wish Banshee will be like the sub 1999 b&m's.
