    We did not mention all the statistics during the announcement because statistics are not what make a roller coaster great; it's the ride experience it delivers that makes it great.

  • It's good to see me, isn't it? No need to respond! That was rhetorical. Under 30 days until Banshee makes its public debut! We can't wait for you to come out and experience this ride.

    We have guests that are more excited about our live shows than our roller coasters, that visit the park specifically for the shows. For these guests, the Cirque Imagine announcement was as exciting as

They look so comfortable.

Kind of reminds me of a child's car seat.

Unfortunately sippy cups and little baggies of Cheerios probably won't be allowed on the ride.

Punkin seats.

I know B&M has a good safety history, but I wouldn't feel very safe using the trains from The Great Pumpkin Coaster on Banshee :)

Interesting concept....an upside down, inverted coaster.....no loose articles allowed....LOL!

The current view from the Banshee cam of the ride from the tower looks like a Van Gogh painting of the ride.

Me thinks ice.

*Cant see out of Banshee Cam 2*

*Crawls under rock*

Wake me up then this is over please.

Daily testing on Diamondback began on February 27th of 2009, if I'm not mistaken. (It wasn't until March, that all 3 trains were testing daily)

There's a possibility that Banshee could also be testing before March.

Could you speak up a little?

;)

I know, right? When it's not affected by weather, sometimes it looks like an eerie painting either by Van Gogh as you mentioned, or by my favorite artist, MC Escher. I wonder if someone has captured a few frames of the weather building up on the webcam... would make an interesting time lapse.

I can't wait to see DavidW's time lapse for this week!

Yes, but if memory servers me correct, I thought all 3 trains were in the DB shed before they ever started testing.

These black seats will not show the dirt like DB seats do. Those red seats look very dirty.

On the subject of DB's seats, what is the black stuff on some of the headrests? It looks almost like spray paint.

I've been wondering the same thing. Except I'm pretty sure it's not spray paint.

Bodily fluids, dirt, bugs, and being worn out from wear and use

See TTD, Corkscrew, or any other ride with an exposed restraint system

I assumed that but I really didn't want to know. Dirt, bugs, and wear I'm ok with. Bodily fluids is when I grab the Purell.

Instead of the the family dryer...KI could make some money off a family 'purger'. It could spray some sort of disinfectent on ones family just outside the gates of the coaster. Or for double bucks...every ride. Sell a Fast Pass 'Prime', and its included.

"Ouch mommy! My eyes!"

"That stinging means it's working, son"

Regarding the Diamondback seats:

I don't think it's any sort of dirt because the marks are never washed off, even when the trains are hosed down after a protein spill or just daily routine maintenance. It is also just too coincidental to find the marks in the same place on every seat to believe it's dirt.

I'm not completely sure but I don't know if there's any way to paint that material. They may just have to replace the seats, which in that case won't be for a long time.

Wear a hair net folks...and some rubber gloves. Personally, I find it best for my 'vehicle' to suck up the germs and retaliate. No flu shots. No Purcell. Let me adapt.

Just other shots. Nudge, nudge.

Give it your all World Health Org.

Just set the Banshee-van-gogh-ice picture as my wallpaper! My moms car looked the same this morning. Took two hours to get it out of the drive!
