Coasterama Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 I am expecting A LOT out of this ride at night. They are pretty much saying that a night ride on Banshee WILL BE better than a night ride on The Beast. What could possibly make a night ride on Banshee (or any ride for that matter) better than The Beast? Textured lighting for one. But Banshee Screams, fog effects.... who knows?
thoe124 Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Strobes and lights that go out when you go toward them.
Zayzayd13 Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 When you think about it, during Halloween Haunt, a lot of the rides seem to have a fog effect. Most of the time they are by coincidence. The fog machines in Rivertown produce a lot of fog, which carries over to Diamondback. Off topic, Diamondback...at night...during Haunt...a little cold...with fog is truly a great experience. 7
Gplez90 Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Have you ever ridden Diamondback at night when the firework show was going on? THAT is truly an experience! EDIT: Now i couldn't imagine combining the experiences! 2
Kat Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Question. My friend shared a picture of the new sign on Facebook. I don't know where she got the pic. I didn't see it on KI's Facebook page and haven't checked Twitter yet.... am I allowed to share it on here or not?? The Earth is the proper name of a planet, and thus should always be capitalized. 1
malem Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Question. My friend shared a picture of the new sign on Facebook. I don't know where she got the pic. I didn't see it on KI's Facebook page and haven't checked Twitter yet.... am I allowed to share it on here or not?? At this time, the only pictures allowed from inside the park are those shared by the park or by its management. If you post such a picture, you need to link to the original park source. 1
Kat Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 ^ OK thanks for clarification yeah I don't know where she got it. I don't think it was an official source or it would have been posted on here by now lol The Earth is the proper name of a planet, and thus should always be capitalized.
malem Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 ^ If she is a park employee, you might want to remind her to refer to the park's policies about sharing pictures and information online. There have been pictures of the Banshee sign released through official channels, so it's possible that she simply reposted one of those. (I haven't seen her picture, obviously.) 1
Kat Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Nope she isn't. My guess is someone drove by and took the picture or something. No idea. The Earth is the proper name of a planet, and thus should always be capitalized.
The Interpreter Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Which are we talking about, the Banshee sign or the park sign? 1
Kat Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 The parking lot sign. She said someone she knows took the pic and she took it down off Facebook because she couldn't give proper credit to him or something The Earth is the proper name of a planet, and thus should always be capitalized.
malem Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Since this is the Banshee construction thread, I assumed that you were talking about Banshee's sign, which is (of course) inside the park.
Kat Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Nope the KI marquee sign The Earth is the proper name of a planet, and thus should always be capitalized.
The Interpreter Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 If she can't put it on Facebook due to credit issues....
Kat Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Yeah no idea what she meant by that lol now that the sign is done though I'm sure there will be an official post by Don or Greg about it very soon. If not no biggie we will get to see it very very soon lol The Earth is the proper name of a planet, and thus should always be capitalized.
Zayzayd13 Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Judging by the webcam, I like how their are lights on the first half of Banshee and then after the peak of the zero g-roll it is complete darkness. I can only imagine going through that giant batwing at night.
Gplez90 Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Keep in mind that they have not yet added the textured lighting yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1
Zayzayd13 Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 I think the batwing will have some lighting though. That or the outside loop. (Out of my curiosity, why is it called an "outside loop?") 1
The Interpreter Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Because the trains go around the outside of the loop. 7
Kat Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 I am super excited. One of my friends is going to join me on opening day she hasn't been to Kings Island in years and is just as excited for Banshee as the rest of us are 8
kirbias1 Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Banshee's first drop looks very steep. Does anyone know the angle of descent? It doesn't seem to be listed anywhere online that i could find.
calakapepe Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Not saying that it isn't steep at all..But it's not as steep as it might appear. It's a very basic steepness angle for steel coasters of today. It seems less steep than Diamondback barely when I saw it from the correct angle.
Gplez90 Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Its not incredibly steep, but its steeper than most, if not all B&M inverts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 12
homestar92 Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Also, the way the first drop twists around, it creates an optical illusion that it is vertical at one point. It's not. Weather isn't lookin good for next week so far. It's still too early for a reliable forecast. At any rate, I want Media Day to have clear skies and beautiful temps, but I'm pulling for scattered showers on opening day. Should keep the crowds at bay. 7
Wingless92 Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 I emailed Don right after I got the media day email. I asked "what happens if it rains" he replied "you get wet" lol. Perfect answer in my book. 28

Less of a crowd. ^Hahahaha silly Don. 3
