Banshee Construction Progress

I think that photo really illustrates the length and the unique, sprawled out layout of Banshee quite well, especially compared to other B&M inverted coasters which are mostly more compact rides.

      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

    It's so weird that just 6 months ago, there were only footers, now we have a beautiful and shiny roller coaster that's almost finished. Can't wait to ride it this summer :D

    According to Russell Flatt, the trains are over the ocean right now. I'm excited to their arrival on site.

    I'm almost as excited about the station as I am about the ride itself. The exit stairs look really cool.

    Do you think all the hard hats have the Banshee logo or just ones being wore in the videos? :huh:

    ^I believe Diamondback was the same way if I'm not mistaken?

    meh. work computers are not at all meant for watching videos :( I'll have to watch it tonight when I get home.. It loads but bascially won't play because the connection here is just that slow.... oh well. It'll be better if I can hear the sound anyways :P

    By the way thank you to Don for the construction videos and progress. Its nice to see some new visuals and details about the construction in things other than words and pictures

    Why can't Kings Island do a blog and podcast like CP it's shown to be successful..

    There is a Banshee blog: https://www.visitkingsisland.com/Banshee/the-evidence/wail-of-the-Banshee-blog?cat=Banshee (Admittedly, it's well-hidden on the site. I only found it because I had subscribed to the "KI photo of the day" RSS feed last season.)

    Not every park has to do exactly what CP does; a certain chairman/CEO has left the company.

    I echo the thanks for all the pictures, webcams and timely construction details; it has been really neat watching this project take shape.

    It's not the parks being the same exactly it's that the content at one is really quite nice. You have to admit the pointcasts are pretty nice to have. The blog is...eh at times. But some good articles do exist. For KI...there's really none of it.

    Only thing I don't like is the advertising and stuff on Twitter more than other platforms. I see no need to be on any and every platform especially one that uses symbols in place of normal punctuation
