GamesAndRides Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Here in Montgomery, OH Were getting about 4 Inches, Some ice, And a Level 1 Snow Emergencey. 2
ohiocolts Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 All the school districts near us, Fairfield, Middletown, Lebanon, Monroe, Hamilton, and Mason schools are closed. 2
rcwizard13 Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 My school was the first in the area to call off. We were called off at 9:30 and upon checking the news list, no other major districts were closed yet. Edit: Why are we having this discussion in the Banshee thread? 4

steveinphoenix Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 I am surprised that the construction photos section of the Banshee page hasn't been updated in over a month. 2

Thrill_Biscuit Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Out bursts a Tazmanian Devil, who tornadoes his way across Action Zone, through Adventure Express, and off into the woods... "Whoops, wrong crate!" Seriously, though, I'm psyched! 10

LoraX Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 This topic has become vaguely similar to Paul Revere yelling "the British are coming!" Certainly the trains arriving is better sign that spring is indeed on the way than Punxsutawney Phil's prediction. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 9

I've read a lot concerning Banshee, and have closely watched construction. But I never realized until this moment that this will be the first inverted coaster with sideways facing trains. Cool! I guess they will have to mount seats back to back to utilize both rails... 7
BB1 Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 THE TRAINS!! THEYRE HERE!!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I wonder, what does the TOS say about this? I'm glad for the train to come finally, I hope to see testing in March! 2

CharleyTheDinosaur Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 I have not yet been on a ride that uses these seats and restraints but man those look comfortable. 5
jdawg1998 Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Those restraints look so comfortable. Doesn't look like any head banging. 6
stinky Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Oh, Yeah, They Look Great! Makes Me Want To Capitalize Everything! 3
Coasterama Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 I believe you did capitalize "Everything", if I'm not mistaken. 5
Thrill_Biscuit Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Looking at the leg clearance. I'm on my way over to Lifetime Fitness to begin my preparations for riding! So long, winter carbs! There's a new coaster to slim down for! ... Ok, one more corndog, but that's it! 6
GamesAndRides Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) The vehicles for the first of three trains for the new Banshee roller coaster were delivered today. The longest inverted roller coaster in the world makes its highly-anticipated debut April 18.
