Banshee Construction Progress

Featured Replies

I can't really tell at this point, but it looks like they might have more of the loop added. I can really tell though since the camera just changed to color and it's foggy out.

    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

Saw some supports being shipped up 71N on my way into work this morning, around 8:15, I'll assume the truck is on site now, though I don't see it on the webcam. Can't imagine it unloaded that quickly.

I can't remember but did the rendering have a curve after the vertical loop, the webcam makes it look like there is one

I think it looks like it curves because a piece of the track is laying on the ground in that area that gives the appearance it is curving though it is not attached.

Its incredible how big the hill is going back towards the 2nd half of the ride. The webcam and pictures can't show you exactly how big it!

If you watch the pov video and pause it as it comes out of the loop. It goes through the dive loop and kind of curves very slightly to the left to go through the vertical loop. It kind of looks like a straight shot back to the fields after that.

I don't see any changes on the webcam currently, so not sure what they're working on. Anyone know?

Here is the pest pic of that I got yesterday! This is the bottom of the first drop and after the loop shooting back to the field!

Wow...this ride is going to work up some dust as it flies by. It looks from this view to be within 10 feet or so from the ground through every loop except for the heartline at the end of the ride....wow!!!

Shorter than that in the loop! We are talking more like 7'. I am 5' 10" and can reach up an touch it with ease!

Great pic!

This ride is going to be so frightening!

Looks like everyone had a wonderful time, I'm glad of it.

I was guessing around 6.5' clearance between the lowest point (where Brad's hand is touching) and the ground. Add in 3, maybe 4 feet for the coaster train, we're gonna be riding maybe 2 feet above ground! Pretty awesome! lol

edit: never mind, I was mistaken. Still don't see any new changes on the webcam.

I just realized that Ohio will have the longest wooden, inverted and wing coasters.

God I love my state

Pulling out of that lift hill loop will be cool...you'll go from a few feet off the ground, to climbing as the ground drops away below you. The effect should be the sensation of climbing faster and higher than you really are, adding to the intensity.

Kudos to those that laid this coaster out! They have really made it work well with the terrain IMO.

I'm very interested in seeing how the fog effect will work in this part of the attraction. I wonder what else they have up their sleeves on special effects?

edit: also looks like the perimeter fence has come down.

came back from the grocery store and NOW I see what they've been doing! They've extended the dive loop!! :D that was a nice little welcome home treat!

I wouldn't mind if they did lighting like this:

Sorry to go off topic, but just when I thought that Heide Park wing coaster couldn't get more awesome, they pull off stuff like THAT! Holy cow is that awesome lighting! Too bad Banshee won't have the path interaction that has to be able to pull off those lights to such an affect.

Now if Banshee's queue area and the first 3 elements were lit up that way, I think we'll have a visual piece of awesome on our hands in 2014! I can already imagine the ride just rockin' at night.

More Vertical Loop track has been placed. Since the season has officially ended, I expect a lot more progress in the next few weeks

Coasterama - that pic makes it look like another piece was added on the left side, but there wasn't, so now I'm wondering what that was....

looks like a new support post just went up for the right side of the vertical loop!

Amazing how far from vertical the loop supports are, thats one strong footing

This is actually the bottom of the dive loop climbing into the vertical loop, not the first drop.
