Here in Montgomery, OH Were getting about 4 Inches, Some ice, And a Level 1 Snow Emergencey.

All the school districts near us, Fairfield, Middletown, Lebanon, Monroe, Hamilton, and Mason schools are closed.

Yeah! Lebanon!

My school was the first in the area to call off. We were called off at 9:30 and upon checking the news list, no other major districts were closed yet.

Edit: Why are we having this discussion in the Banshee thread?

^It is the off season.

I am surprised that the construction photos section of the Banshee page hasn't been updated in over a month.

No picture??? lol

I, for one, am very surprised they still trucked it through this ice!

*are we allowed to use "lol" on this site? Hmm... feels a little abnormal here.

Out bursts a Tazmanian Devil, who tornadoes his way across Action Zone, through Adventure Express, and off into the woods...

"Whoops, wrong crate!"

Seriously, though, I'm psyched!

This topic has become vaguely similar to Paul Revere yelling "the British are coming!"

Certainly the trains arriving is better sign that spring is indeed on the way than Punxsutawney Phil's prediction.

Wow. I've read a lot concerning Banshee, and have closely watched construction. But I never realized until this moment that this will be the first inverted coaster with sideways facing trains. Cool!

I guess they will have to mount seats back to back to utilize both rails...

THE TRAINS!! THEYRE HERE!!!!

I wonder, what does the TOS say about this?

I'm glad for the train to come finally, I hope to see testing in March!

I have not yet been on a ride that uses these seats and restraints but man those look comfortable.

Those restraints look so comfortable. Doesn't look like any head banging.

Oh, Yeah, They Look Great! Makes Me Want To Capitalize Everything!

I believe you did capitalize "Everything", if I'm not mistaken.

Looking at the leg clearance. I'm on my way over to Lifetime Fitness to begin my preparations for riding! So long, winter carbs! There's a new coaster to slim down for!

...

Ok, one more corndog, but that's it!

The vehicles for the first of three trains for the new Banshee roller coaster were delivered today. The longest inverted roller coaster in the world makes its highly-anticipated debut April 18.
