homestar92 Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 And if you want to be among the first in the general public to ride it, be there on opening day. Who knows? Perhaps it will be an ERT ride. If so, you can get a gold pass and show up early. ERT crowds are generally light. HOWEVER, if a new coaster is to be opened AND it is ERT, then expect record-breaking ERT crowds. 2
BeastForever Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Will CoasterBuzz members most likely be invited to Media Day?
coasterfanatic83 Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 CoasterBuzz members were invited for Gatekeeper's Media Day, so I would imagine they would be invited to Banshee's as well if Cedar Fair decides to invite coaster clubs. 1
Kat Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 CoasterBuzz members were invited for Gatekeeper's Media Day, so I would imagine they would be invited to Banshee's as well if Cedar Fair decides to invite coaster clubs. At the Sept. 8th KIC day Don mentioned those coaster clubs that have a paid membership will most likely be invited to Banshee Media Day 5
calakapepe Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 I imagine some people whose names are on gravestones will be invited from this site of our own! EDIT: least, I think it'd be cool if that happened. 2
Shawn Meyer Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Has Kings Island announced when Media Day will be yet? I know it's only October, but I thought maybe I missed something.
BeastForever Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 If I'm not mistaken, Terpy and BoddaH1994 will forever be constituted into Banshee's theming per the gravestones. I personally think that is awesome! It will truly symbolize KIC's long-standing and close relationship with the park. Are most other parks' fansites as loyal as we are? I'd think not. Makes me appreciate the value of being part of such a great community... 13
Screaming_Chicken Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Really like how fast Banshee is coming together! I know we have what 6 months until she opens up but, I'm excited. Hope KI themes Banshee well! 3
TombRaiderFTW Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 ^ Great photos! Thanks for sharing. On an unrelated note, I wonder if the park has considered moving the Banshee cam or adding a second webcam. I like the current view and am thankful the park has a webcam for construction, but it would be neat to see some of the finer details, too. I imagine the tops of the Ice Scream Zone, Son of Beast's station, or the Delirium operator booth would have good views. 3
The Interpreter Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 If it is moved, that's the end of any time lapse photography based on it. 3
calakapepe Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 How about on SOB's old station? but only if a different camera is put there. I'd rather the current one stay where it is, still. 2
TombRaiderFTW Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 True, I hadn't considered that. I suppose a second one would be more desirable to me, then.
Ki Man Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 There are some more photos in my photo TR. http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?/topic/28414-photo-tr-104-hauntBanshee-update/#entry562431 2
Tanna Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 I imagine some people whose names are on gravestones will be invited from this site of our own! EDIT: least, I think it'd be cool if that happened. I'd like it if that were to happen.
elyk Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 On account of the color of Banshee, as we drove past Kings Island, I had said, mom look at the new coaster they are building. She replied with, oh that red one? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free 1
Kat Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Off topic but does anyone know what roller coaster is pictured in the Halloween Haunt KI video?

I doubt there is one on top of a random building near the construction sight.
TombRaiderFTW Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 ^ So how do Ice Scream Zone's lights and ice cream machines, Wolf Pack's props, and Delirium's control panel and lights work? 1
coaster_junky Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 ^^All three of those structures/buildings have power that runs to them, there should be an available power source. I feel like if they have a camera on the top of Dragster, it shouldn't be too hard to install one at any of the positions TombRaiderFTW suggested. ***I was beaten by mere seconds. haha 1
TheCrypt Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 ^ So how do Ice Scream Zone's lights and ice cream machines, Wolf Pack's props, and Delirium's control panel and lights work?I'm not sure those could be safe and easy to tap into for power. At least, probably not on top of Ice Scream Zone and WP. But hey, I know very little about electricity and how those buildings were set up.EDIT: Come to think of it, I seem to remember Cedar Point putting a webcam for GK atop maXair. Maybe we could use Delirium? 1
shrillcaptinspike Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 I went to ki today, the ride looks amazing and it is able to be seen from intersate, sky line of ki is so different. With the clouds and rain to day the tracks actually looked purple, and saw a guy get arrestted at the front gate, he was running for the gate and i looked up in time to see him get tackled, then he was begging not to get arrested and was crying 6
elyk Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 I remember someone requesting what the skyline looks like with Banshee Here ya go, I forget who it was though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free 13

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free That was me! I love the picture, thanks! I drove past KI today on the way to Ren fest. Banshee is quite impressive in person! 2
thedevariouseffect Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Looks like Banshee & KI both are going the same way...anyone able to verify that? Looks way to similar lol
Ki Man Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 KI Man, how'd you get a tour yesterday? With my 200mm lens. I can be anywhere. 13
thedevariouseffect Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 How sexy do I look right now...I've got that after shower tan going on so should be a 10 right now 1
