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!

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!

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.

^ opening day Diamondback will be empty!

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.

Y'all missed out, expect trip report later, still working things out and just got in the door.

Hooray for Banshee!!!

Will all the trees be full again by opening day?

Well, mother nature seems to be running late this year in Ohio. I wouldn't count on all trees being full.

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!

Dunno about trees but foliage will come..look at Gatekeeper..got the grass and everything in the rendering st some point by seasons end

Has anyone noticed if that freestanding wall next to the station has been erected yet?

Not that I know of

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

Because it's unusual. You don't get designs like that often.

Because it is by FAR more interesting than capitalization and picture taking rules being repeated 400 times a day.

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...

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.

Just made a cool desktop background!

Has Banshee been testing today?

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.

It's also supposed to be only in the mid 30s today with some snow later this afternoon.

It's a cool wall!

One of the Cincinnati local stations WLWT just showed footage of the Banshee test runs.

There are videos out there.

I looked on YouTube and couldn't find any videos of the testing. Can you direct me to a link?

Wonder who's video it was

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.

^^ Hmmmm... Inquiring minds want to know. [emoji10] lol!

If it was a Kings Island video I hope they gave credit to the parks social media
