homestar92 Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Hush y'all! I want it to be Banshee's Under-station so that On-Location can be repurposed as the queue for a set of Flying Scooters! 4
TheBeast1116 Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 I wish we knew what was being done with that circle!
kblanken Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 What is TPR?The poster forgot to give a link back to the source... http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1418237#p1418237
calakapepe Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 I wish we knew what was being done with that circle! Whatever it will be, it looks now apparent that it will have three places to walk through to get into the circle. 1
GamesAndRides Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 ^ My guess is that it will be the former On-Location. If it was under the Banshee station, they might have called it something like "Banshee Connection", or "Scream Seekers". I agree with you on that, As the On-Location Sign was removed.

MDMC01 Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 (responding to Gplez's post with the picture of the new Backlot cars) Personally, I think those new cars look awesome and although it's not my favorite KI coaster, I'd be more inclined to give it another whirl if those new cars are in fact going to KI 1
TheBEASTunchained Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 It looks like the Banshee lift hill lights will be on again tonight...... This webcam can be found on Kings Island's website, Here: Kings Island's Banshee Construction Cam 3
CoasterOhio Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Looks like Electrical's are going up well! 3
thedevariouseffect Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Speaking of lights, a shop is open down there across from AE it looks like? Hmm 1
TheBEASTunchained Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Speaking of lights, a shop is open down there across from AE it looks like? Hmm If you are referring to the lights at the Coney Confections store, they are left on every night.
thedevariouseffect Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 How have I never noticed this...sigh lol 2
homestar92 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Why leave them on in the offseason? Seems like a great way to throw away money with their electric bill. Though I'm sure when compared to building a $20+ Million coaster, powering a few lights for a few months is laughably cheap. 3
BloodBlade21 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 I'm guessing for security reasons. Gotta protect that candy . 6
AZ Kinda Guy Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 In reference to the picture of Backlot coaster up in Canada... KI's Backlot trains already had a good amount of fiberglass work done to them a few years ago to try and distance itself from the Italian Job theme. 7

TombRaiderFTW Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 AZ Kinda Guy: Did Wonderland's BLSC not receive the same change at that time? I know I saw pictures of the new fiberglass at Kings Dominion, but I don't know about Wonderland. 1
PyroKinesis Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 With regards to the Action Zone circle, by the looks of the latest webcam picture, one would assume they will be adding planters to that area. Some nice flowers and bushes would really spice that area up. 4
upstop Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 For those who are interested, here are examples of textured lighting.... http://www.superlativeevents.com/event_lighting/texture_lighting.php 9
DBInternational Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 You know what could use some textured lighting? Flight of Fear. 11
FoF96" Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 ^^ you think so? I prefer the mysterious spotlights currently in that building. I just hope they don't put anything in the former circle that blocks most of it off, the traffic would be unimaginable. 4
vortexfan Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 AZ Kinda Guy: Did Wonderland's BLSC not receive the same change at that time? I know I saw pictures of the new fiberglass at Kings Dominion, but I don't know about Wonderland. Wonderland's trains changed when KI's and KD's did. They were also red, white, and blue. Not sure why the Facebook "fans" are making a big deal of it, they look like the same fiberglass bodies with slightly more sparkly paint. 2
Gplez90 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Again, the fact that Kings Island is pretty much saying that Banshee's night experience will be better than The Beast's night experience is saying A LOT! The Beast is hands down the best night ride experience I've ever had, so i have incredibly high expectations for Banshee. A night ride on The Beast is almost impossible to top, but i would love to see any ride try. None-the-less I'm sure a night ride on Banshee is going to be an incredible experience. 3
calakapepe Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 I wonder if for the textured lighting a Banshee may be drawn at the bottom of the drop or onto some fog... 3
Coasterama Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 ^ That would explain the concrete under the first drop and (I believe this is correct) under the loop through the lift hill.
upstop Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Maybe something like this will be projected on the station and elsewhere within the zone. 2
Diamondback FOF Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Drove by KI tonight. The lights on Banshee appear to be LEDs based on their brightness/how pure the white-ish blue light looked. I liked it. 4
kblanken Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 I gave credit to the poster of it... Typing "I found this while looking at TPR." isn't really giving proper credit. It is also incongruent with what Don asked in post #4625 of this thread. 2
silver2005 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 For me, in order for Banshee to surpass Beast at night, it better be lit like this. Picture from RCDB. Link- http://rcdb.com/6667.htm This is Heide Park's wing coaster, Flug der Damonen, and it's lighting package. 16
