Timbo1 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Hey guys, I was wondering if someone would be able to post a progress picture of Banshee with a screenshot at same angle of SOB. I would love to have a reference on how it looks in size and configuration. I am sure someone on here is just that good to make this request come true. Thank you p.s. the answer YES someone could is not necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 It looks like Clifford is going to build itself into a corner if it doesn't move around before finishing the 0g roll... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kat Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 good morning everyone! Happy Halloween! I'm not expecting a whole lot of work to be done today because of the weather! It's supposed to get really nasty later! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikejenkins1 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 It appears they have installed all track/supports on site and are needing another big delivery. Anyone been by the plant lately? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryoj Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 There are more supports near the first drop, and looks like maybe some track in that area too. Plus more track in the back field. But I agree, we should be seeing more deliveries soon. I think they probably drop clifford down when they are expecting high winds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondback FOF Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I definitely see more supports on the ground, and what I think is track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldiesmann Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Doesn't look like much is going on today. Might be a bit too windy for Clifford though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 They could be preparing to move Clifford as well. If it builds any more supports (judging by the renderings), it'll have no way out of where it is unless they dismantle it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outdoor Man Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Does anyone know if it's permissible to park in the passenger drop-off/pick-up lot and take pictures from there? I could probably get decent pics from the church parking lot across the street if not Technicaly no, because that is park property, which is now closed to the public for the season. You would need special permission from the Park to do so. I'm sure Don will post plenty of pics in the offseason from close in, so no need to risk arrest to get a pic from hundreds of feet away. that, and if people are in there taking pictures, the Mason Police won't have anywhere to sit and clock drivers on Kings Island Drive. Actually it is KI property (I think anyway)- but have see cars in there on occasion talking on cell phones or other items that can't be done while driving. I wouldn't classify pulling in there as trespassing per se. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Wish granted! No trespassing was involved. Pics were taken by my fiancé from the road right in front of CSF there was no one behind me so we just stopped on the road real quick to get pics. All we saw was this one truck. Sorry they aren't closer views but looked like two pieces of track and a small support. Edit: removed one pic because you couldn't tell anything past the rain drops on the window. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colonel_SoB_fan Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 and going back to who ever said the zero g roll will be ki's first, the dive loop, immelman, and in-line twist are also new inversion types for the park. just wanted to spit that out.

BeastForever Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 ^^, ^, And ironically, Firehawk's in-lines twist make you feel like your 'rolling' inside a 'barrel'. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Executioner822 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 ok scratch the in-line twist being a first for ki (slipped my mind about Firehawk), but the other 3 are still new. and i consider Banshee's "batwing" as more of a pretzel loop,but thats just me... anyone else? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upstop Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 The last image I saw today was Clifford resting his big red head on the ground....napping and expecting high winds to blow through...I know they did here! Practically cleaned the leaves out of all of my trees (and blew them handily into my neighbors yard. Yay!) 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Doesn't Vortex's batwing count as an immelman and a Dive loop? It counts as a batwing. But what makes up a batwing are a reverse side-winder into a side-winder. Banshee's "batwing" actually counts as a pretzel knot. (rcdb will back me up on that, thankfully) Which consists of a dive loop into an immelman (or the two elements of a batwing) that cross the exit and entrance paths over one another. Small differences, but when you're someone like me, they are important to acknowledge. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
