Oldschool75 Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 I think it's stupid. The park provided us with a POV simulation video so if you're that desperate to know what the POV is going to be like go watch that. The design of the coaster did not change at all so the video is pretty darn accurate. If I want to know what the real life POV is like instead of the video I will know on Thursday I can wait til then. The Earth is the proper name of a planet, and thus should always be capitalized. It's a disease of the younger generation called "Ineedattentionbefirstthatsnotfairitis". 2

Nick_Plummer Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Looks like there's a crane by Banshee's station. Maybe that wall will be erected after all. Image from https://www.visitkingsisland.com/online-fun/webcams 2
thoe124 Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Notice the red and blue LEDs! Image from: www.visitkingsisland.com/online-fun/webcams/mobile?=0 4
steveinphoenix Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 I hope I get a chance to meet some of you when I am at the park. It will be interesting to put the names with the faces. 9
steveinphoenix Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Really? There is a thread for that? Cool, thanks for the info. 1

Tr0y Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Notice the red and blue LEDs! Image from: www.visitkingsisland.com/online-fun/webcams/mobile?=0 it's hard to tell but i think where that red/blue led light is facing is gravestones. Its hard to tell because its behind the trees/Slingshot 2
steveinphoenix Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Thanks for the info Kat, Greatly appreciated. Check your messages. I think I know exactly what those colored LED lights are for and why they are where they are......but I'm not going to say because I respect the parks secrecy policies...and I might be wrong anyways but I don't think I am. I have done some work on projects that had a similar type of themed lighting. If its what I think it is, everyone with be pleased. 5
upstop Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 LOOK a beer delivery truck at Hank's! LOL (3:04) 5
UnrealNightmare Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Nvm it says Budweiser I think It's hard to tell. 1
Gplez90 Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 @KIGMGREG: "I will be in the park after dark tonight to view the lighting effectson #kiBanshee. Based on the video I saw from last night, WOW!" Found on Greg Scheid's Twitter page EDIT: I think we're in for a great treat guys! 7
Executioner822 Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 a weird request but could KingsIslandPR or anyone (WHEN ALLOWED of course) take a pic of the fourth row with the seatbelts fastened but the restraints up? if all thats needed to fit on the ride is the seatbelt then that would give a persepctive to myself and other "fluffy" riders on how much room there is to squeeze in... 1
stinky Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Guessing that, what looks like LEDs are projectors. 4

Ill do my best to get a picture of it for ya as long as I'm not breaking any rules (which i shouldn't be as long as the train has not left the station yet). 3
Thrill_Biscuit Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Guessing that, what looks like LEDs are projectors. Holographic ones would be nice! (Still waiting on the technology... here in... 2014... come on, Science!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldUhyTrfozw&feature=youtu.be 10
Thrill_Biscuit Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Disney can keep its Pepper's Ghosts; I want to see some real, "Help Me Obi Wan!" midair holograms! 9
Coasterama Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 ^ If you went back and said that 30 years ago, people would think you're nuts; however, as evident by the upcoming film, times change. 5
steveinphoenix Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Wow, the latest time lapse vid really shows everyone scrambling around getting things ready for the opening....not just at Banshee....but virtually everywhere within the view of the cam. And I saw isomething in the time lapse vid that pretty much confirms my notions of what special lighting thing they have planned...........that will be way cool. 1
Oldschool75 Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Look at the newly shaded circle! http://www.visitkingsisland.com/online-fun/webcams Reminds of another area of the park from years ago. 6
upstop Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 That LED light has me curious....is it actually projecting towards the Eiffel Tower?....could our Banshee be projecting off of the tower and other structures in the area as well at night? Now that would be cool! 3

ethancoaster Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 how did you guys find that instagram video? I'm not on Instagram and I can't make an account.
thatbandguy8807 Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 how did you guys find that instagram video? I'm not on Instagram and I can't make an account. what I did to find it (if you are talking about the Banshee scream) was just go to Google and type in #KIBanshee and scroll down a few pictures until I found two videos of it
