I'll join in the waiting outside of the attractions LOL! I am a certified Haunt chicken.

As much as a media day extravaganza sounds great, and, as much as riding on opening day sounds wonderful, I simply abhor waiting in lines to the point that I absolutely refuse to deal with that nonsense. To quote Van Halen, "I'll Wait". Another day or two won't kill me. Waiting in lines like that might.

I'll quote Van Halen too. Why don't you try Banshee "Right Now"? Van Halen regularly tells me that on a beloved ride in Action Zone.

I dont find long lines as bad if its a ride where you can watchin the coaster go through a lot of its cycle. Judging by the location of Banshee queue area i think we may get to see Banshee go through its entire cycle while standing in line.

^ That may be true, but in Coaster Crew's interview with Don, he stated that from the midway you'll see train disappear down into the valley and reappear before it goes into the station.

Both are true. You'll watch it. It'll disappear for a few seconds, then it'll come back, you'll watch it some more, then it'll disappear, then comeback and disa....

Whether it sounds crazy or not, I like waiting in long.

Anticipation, my friends.

Carly Simon. Of course.

From the midway, yes, but the queue (referring to the blueprints) will be situated between the station, lift hill, and the zero-g roll.

I guess we will just have to wait until media day to see the views from the queue. None the less, we will at least have the first have of the ride to admire.

I hope they place the camera at the exit of the dive loop

I kinda hope not, for that place.
I would rather not continuously see flashing that close to the midway. I think somewhere between the zero G roll exit and the bottom after the 2nd loop would be better.

If this were RCT2

Touché^^

I think the best location for the camera would be between the exit of the batwing and the start of the second loop.

I feel like I would have to ride Banshee before I could decide where I think the camera should go. Like with Diamondback I've always thought they should've just done the bottom of the first drop.

According to USA Today, and the news media "always have their facts straight", Banshee will be Kings Island's 15th roller coaster, it will be the first female inspired theme park ride, and it will be 4,424 feet long. Seriously? Here's the article: http://t.co/VbfJOp5Z0K

I know 4,424 feet is wrong, but I believe the park counts Surf Dog as a coaster, giving a total of 15.

Really? I always thought of Surf Dog as a flat ride.

The park has my permission to record my scream of "Here we go again!" if they want to. It is going to sound like a Banshee.

I wouldn't mind it after the Batwing

EDIT: I had my facts wrong on the post that was here

Now, the article states 1,424 feet...7 inversions and 68 MPH would be one hell of a way to travel 1,424 feet.

Looks like they're doing something up front...

My best friend worked there for years. They were not a good company to work for according to him.

I think in past years (May be wrong) They stored Congo Falls Boats in the Entrance Building. Not sure though.

I see 7.

i count every coaster as a separate track unless the coaster is in fact one track. I count KI's Racer as 2 rides because even though they're identically mirrored theyre 2 seprate tracks while Kennywood's Racer is only one continuous track.
