jcgoble3 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I think in past years (May be wrong) They stored Congo Falls Boats in the Entrance Building. Not sure though. In December 2011 they were stored in the Picnic Grove: 8

Colonel_SoB_fan Posted January 28, 2014 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 Vortex camera is right next to the midway 1

I think somewhere between the zero G roll exit and the bottom after the 2nd loop would be better. If this were RCT2 Vortex camera is right next to the midway But it's also below and hidden from the midway, which means that people on the midway generally don't notice it during the day. Even at night, when the flash lights up the track, it doesn't get annoying because you're only seeing what gets lit up, not the light itself. Banshee doesn't have the benefit of being below the midway like that. 4
calakapepe Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Egg zactly.Does that count as two words? 4
KI FANATIC 37 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Does anyone have a close up picture of the current state of Banshees station? Curious to see what it look like. 3
fryoj Posted January 28, 2014 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 I wouldn't mind it after the Batwing I think in the middle of the Batwing would be a good spot. Fastest point of the ride I believe. Of course if they are going to have fog effects anywhere on the ride, and the Batwing is one spot that would have them, it could affect where they put the camera. 1
homestar92 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I want to see a camera in the midst of an inversion. Though mounting that may present a challenge. 2
flightoffear1996 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 It wouldn't be as hard as you think. 2
calakapepe Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Though, tackiness would be more of a problem lol.Just some random arms protruding out from the 180* mark of an inversion? lol 1

I also see a helicopter from Planey Snoopy in the top right hand corner in the first picture 3
milesharrison Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I think in past years (May be wrong) They stored Congo Falls Boats in the Entrance Building. Not sure though. I feel like I saw a picture from last offseason that they were storing a boatload of trashcans under International Restaurant... 1

I feel like I saw a picture from last offseason that they were storing a boatload of trashcans under International Restaurant... You may have. Here's a shot of them from two offseasons ago (taken the same day as the one of the Congo Falls boat above): Also in the Rivertown train station: There's much more from that day here. 6
Oldiesmann Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Looks like USA Today finally got things right. It now says 4,124 feet. It would be nice for them to verify things before publishing the articles though. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 with Tapatalk 4 4
PKIVortex Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Did they remove the circle in Action Zone? I can't tell if it's just covered up by dirt or if they removed it? Sorry if this has been discussed before. 2
LoraX Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 It appears it was dug up. I know some are happy, I kinda liked it. It fit the theme of Action Zone. I think it would distract from a possible change of themes. It just makes me that much more excited about the 2014 season. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
sikkinixx99 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 They plan on loading unloading in the same area on Banshee? Probably just me but the picture inside the station just doesn't look that big at least to me. Also anyone heard anything about the arrival of the trains? 1
Thrill_Biscuit Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 At least they didn't say it was 1,412 feet tall. 8

Of course if they are going to have fog effects anywhere on the ride, and the Batwing is one spot that would have them, it could affect where they put the camera. Once I saw a coaster somewhere in china that had a little guy that took the ride picture, ran back to the photo booth, and had it developed before the people got off the ride, and then ran all the way back to take the next picture. He must have been really tired by the end of the day! 6
UnrealNightmare Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I want to see a camera in the midst of an inversion. Though mounting that may present a challenge. If I remember correctly Hydra the Revenge at Dorney Park has a camera for the barrel roll out of the station. 3

TheBEASTunchained Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Also anyone heard anything about the arrival of the trains? Yes, someone has heard something about the arrival of the trains. 9
Adventuro Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 The station is much larger than you think- It's all about perspective. Yes its not the size of Diamondbacks station.. but I would say it was comparable to Invertigo's maybe bigger. 2
LongTimeLurker Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 The first train will be delivered next week. 5
davidw Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 from Kings Island's Facebook... "The first train for the new Banshee roller coaster will be delivered next week. Guess the date and time you think the train will be delivered." Link: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10152532209188368 4
mikejenkins1 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 That would be a JoJo Roll. I want to see a camera in the midst of an inversion. Though mounting that may present a challenge. If I remember correctly Hydra the Revenge at Dorney Park has a camera for the barrel roll out of the station.
steveinphoenix Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Are there any recent pics of the station?
