FoF96" Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 As much as a media day extravaganza sounds great, and, as much as riding on opening day sounds wonderful, I simply abhor waiting in lines to the point that I absolutely refuse to deal with that nonsense. To quote Van Halen, "I'll Wait". Another day or two won't kill me. Waiting in lines like that might. I'll quote Van Halen too. Why don't you try Banshee "Right Now"? Van Halen regularly tells me that on a beloved ride in Action Zone. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gplez90 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I dont find long lines as bad if its a ride where you can watchin the coaster go through a lot of its cycle. Judging by the location of Banshee queue area i think we may get to see Banshee go through its entire cycle while standing in line.

Coasterama Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 ^ That may be true, but in Coaster Crew's interview with Don, he stated that from the midway you'll see train disappear down into the valley and reappear before it goes into the station. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcwizard13 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Both are true. You'll watch it. It'll disappear for a few seconds, then it'll come back, you'll watch it some more, then it'll disappear, then comeback and disa.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Whether it sounds crazy or not, I like waiting in long. Anticipation, my friends. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the midway, yes, but the queue (referring to the blueprints) will be situated between the station, lift hill, and the zero-g roll.

Coasterama Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I guess we will just have to wait until media day to see the views from the queue. None the less, we will at least have the first have of the ride to admire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gplez90 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I hope they place the camera at the exit of the dive loop Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I kinda hope not, for that place.I would rather not continuously see flashing that close to the midway. I think somewhere between the zero G roll exit and the bottom after the 2nd loop would be better.If this were RCT2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnrealNightmare Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I think the best location for the camera would be between the exit of the batwing and the start of the second loop. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adventuro Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I feel like I would have to ride Banshee before I could decide where I think the camera should go. Like with Diamondback I've always thought they should've just done the bottom of the first drop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coasterama Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 According to USA Today, and the news media "always have their facts straight", Banshee will be Kings Island's 15th roller coaster, it will be the first female inspired theme park ride, and it will be 4,424 feet long.

diamondhawk Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I know 4,424 feet is wrong, but I believe the park counts Surf Dog as a coaster, giving a total of 15. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_Plummer Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Really? I always thought of Surf Dog as a flat ride. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill_Biscuit Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 The park has my permission to record my scream of "Here we go again!" if they want to. It is going to sound like a Banshee. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bennett Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Now, the article states 1,424 feet...7 inversions and 68 MPH would be one hell of a way to travel 1,424 feet. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Executioner822 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 i count every coaster as a separate track unless the coaster is in fact one track. I count KI's Racer as 2 rides because even though they're identically mirrored theyre 2 seprate tracks while Kennywood's Racer is only one continuous track. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
