A closer look at the rendering for Banshee's station.

Very nice find! Those are some very nice renderings.

Haha, I see the credit on the renderings!

We have our 7th and final inversion!

On davidw's site somewhere:

its really difficult to tell what was done from the angle of the cam. The zero g roll in front of the work area and the 2nd vertical loop behind it make it confusing to say the least

He's probably at the point where he only grays things out!

Well today was a very interesting day in the life of the Banshee Construction Progress topic.

Two supports and three pieces of track installed today. Link to gallery

sorry for the delay in my posts today guys. I just bought a new house and we've been busy all weekend cleaning and painting

Davidw, all your work on the post is most appreciated.....I would say buying a new house would more than likely take precedent....haha.....congrats on new home.....hope you have many happy years there

Sorry I'm late to this but I'm hoping if they add a tunnel the Banshee scream plays in there

Please capitalize the names of Kings Island rides. Banshee is a registered trademark.

Would love a tunnel as I said before it would make this great ride even more unique!!

To be honest I wouldn't care for a surprise tunnel like has been discussed above and back. If we had an underground tunnel in with the track fully dove into some sort of hole or cave that would be cool. But really if we get anything it'll be some ugly metal tube sticking out like a sore thumb in front such an amazing sight.

A ditch would be more excepible but I would really just prefer to fly over an celtic graveyard if you don't mind rather than through two walls of concrete(well I guess not through, but between.)

Although there may be quite a bit more snow on the ground at the Banshee construction site, the crews have arrived for another day of work.....

windy day out there the new camera is already covered again.

Good morning Banshee.

its getting really hard to tell whats what down around the carousel area...so many other element parts in the way plus the angle of view. Good luck Davidw...u must have eagle eyes.

Gotta admire those constructions guys working in this extreme cold!

Colder than a Banshee's tit - tering...

er laugh.

It's a little easier to see what's going on now. I can clearly see where the track is leading to and the support they just put up.

There are no plans to add tunnels to the ride.

Wouldn't detract or add in my opinion.

Looks fantastic without any.

First piece of the last element in the air!

Boo...construction is almost done..

Yay! It's opening soon!

Boo...boring rest of the off season

Ok, I believe this is a keyboard code! @ = the number 2 on the keyboard. If you go 2 letters into the alphabet that would make @ stand for the letter "B" so.... @ = 2 which = "B", ! = 1 which = "A", !$ = 14 which = "N", !( = 19 which = "S" , * = 8 which = "H", % = 5 which = "E" and % =5 which = "E" This "code" spells out the name Banshee. Hmm...this name was going to be given to Mantis when it first opened but was not used due to people complaining about it being offensive. Is the name making a reappearance? I think so!

-I discovered this while just browsing the On Point Blog for Gatekeeper teasers. Very interesting.

EDIT- I had to read through it a couple times to understand it. The title of the blog post was @!!$!(*%%

OK, you lost me on that one.

WOW, the footer of that carousel has 6 of those big blue tube supports all crammed into one rectangular footer. That's a tight fit. Wish we had a closer pic of that.
