Kat Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 That is an awesome shot!!! I am so excited for this ride!!! Did anyone guess testing would start today? If so he/she/they should get some sort of prize for guessing correctly maybe a virtual trophy or something Edit: I doubt Diamondback will be empty, as that's a different section of the park. Invertigo, however.... I am hoping that has a MUCH shorter line than usual with a new awesome full invert coaster so close!! I will spend a lot of time on Banshee, but I still will ride everything else, too. I love all the coasters, but I think this will become my favorite. It all depends on the restraints and if they hurt me or not. I hope not! 2
Gplez90 Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Many (including me) will take advantage of Banshee's newness and ride other rides while everyone else rushes to Banshee just like people did for Gatekeeper earlier in the day. However, unlike Gatekeeper, i don't think this ride will be empty at night. EDIT: I sure did guess it! 7
homestar92 Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Does anyone have any pictures of the non-teal train? I'm interested in seeing the other colors. As the park has requested we do not post personal photos, DO NOT post said pictures if you have them. But I don't the the park would be opposed to sharing a color swatch of a similar color. 4
Tanna Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 The trains look tiny compared to the ride. And that's what's scary to me- it's a huge ride, it'll be like riding in a biplane, with no plane around you. 1
thedevariouseffect Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Y'all missed out, expect trip report later, still working things out and just got in the door. 2

steveinphoenix Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Will all the trees be full again by opening day? 2
sheikra_rocks Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Well, mother nature seems to be running late this year in Ohio. I wouldn't count on all trees being full. 4
XjoshhyX Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 I hope the trees are close to full once we get to ride this beauty. If not it'll just give it a different experience throughout the year as the trees grow around it!
thedevariouseffect Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Dunno about trees but foliage will come..look at Gatekeeper..got the grass and everything in the rendering st some point by seasons end 2
steveinphoenix Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Has anyone noticed if that freestanding wall next to the station has been erected yet? 1
jcgoble3 Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 For crying out loud, WHY is everybody so concerned about that freestanding wall? It's nothing but a freaking WALL! jcgoble3, who can't help but laugh at how many times this question has been asked 8
calakapepe Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Because it's unusual. You don't get designs like that often. 4
steveinphoenix Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Because it is by FAR more interesting than capitalization and picture taking rules being repeated 400 times a day. 15
upstop Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 The back will be epic drop, on a side note Diamondback will be so empty!! Hehehe....hardly, Diamondbacks queue line will unofficially be renamed to Banshee Overflow... 5
TheBEASTunchained Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Going through the Dive Loop! This image can be found on Kings Island's Facebook page. Real-life compared to rendering..... (Rendering found at the KI Banshee website, Here.) Slightly different angle in both of the pictures, but they still make a pretty good comparison. 14
thoe124 Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Just made a cool desktop background! Original pic by @kingsislandpr on twitter. Probably sent from my iDevice without Cydia. 9
Fire-Beast-OF FEAR Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 I would doubt it. It's awful windy here in Lebanon and it probably is too in Kings Mills. Also they might be running diagnostics and checking computers to make sure yesterday was truthfully successful. 4
THE_BEASTmaster Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 It's also supposed to be only in the mid 30s today with some snow later this afternoon. 1

THE_BEASTmaster Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 One of the Cincinnati local stations WLWT just showed footage of the Banshee test runs. 3
THE_BEASTmaster Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 I looked on YouTube and couldn't find any videos of the testing. Can you direct me to a link? 2
Gplez90 Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 The forecast shows that it should be a perfect week for continuous testing! Sunny, low to mid 50s and even into the mid 60s on friday! I wouldn't be surprised to see a video on Youtube pop up later this week. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
THE_BEASTmaster Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 ^^ Hmmmm... Inquiring minds want to know. lol!
thedevariouseffect Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 If it was a Kings Island video I hope they gave credit to the parks social media 10
