The Interpreter Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 B&M trim installed after the fact? On the drop, no less? Mantis. Just sayin' 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locostitch Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Guys I think it is testing. I was looking at the webcam, and there was a blur in the zero g roll and the track was covered by the blur. Also, because the webcam went to grey scale instead of color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedevariouseffect Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Sorry to double post, it's a possibility IMO.. See the light that's in the bottom of the dive loop in the pic I'm posting, and how it's not in the next. Someone is down there doing something.. http://www.davidwaderich.com/hotlink/KI/Angle1/index.php?image=Angle120140310200819.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryoj Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Pretty sure that was just a light on the man lift that was working at the base of the lift. It comes and goes a few times. Probably moving it around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevariouseffect Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 There was a flashing light a few times on the ground away from the ride, and then lift lights moving or partially blocked out. Ride location has been blank the past bit though, stop teasing me folks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frisbeefan Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I'm sure it's nothing significant, but it looks like something is on the lift about half way up. The lights seem to be covered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedevariouseffect Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 ^^It's been that way for hours trust me been watching quite awhile.

jandyb79 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I think it is a really nice touch that they are using decorative black iron fencing, reminiscent of a graveyard, as opposed to the traditional chain linked fencing for the bottom of the loops. Detail considerations like this are fantastic! And it is appreciated since chain link fencing is less expensive. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detail considerations like this are fantastic! And it is appreciated since chain link fencing is less expensive. They need those iron fences instead of hand rails in the queue so people can't climb on them. Children are the worst! They climb, swing, flip, balance beam, etc up and down those rails and the parents do absolutely NOTHING to keep them from doing it. Make them extra pointy too! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Is anyone else hoping the queue gets really close to those gates, right up close to the track? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr0y Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 It is true the fact that there will be a trim brake on Banshee, typical B&M fashion i don't think they will build a coaster without one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBEASTunchained Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 There's some activity at the Banshee site this morning......At the back half of the ride.....

SOBwasaSOB Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I hate trims but these sound reasonable. If it keeps the max speed at 68mph there will be no complaints from me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedevariouseffect Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 It is true the fact that there will be a trim brake on Banshee, typical B&M fashion i don't think they will build a coaster without one. Many Intamins have trim brakes..and the ones without actually wish they did too..see Millie for example. This trim really just prevents an overspeed that's all it's for. Ride uses the safety system to judge the speed, determines if it needs to trim the speed so it doesn't go through the course quicker to cause issues or speed through a block. If it's slower, you don't get trimmed. Why are y'all so freakied out over something to remove a chance of overspeed..see Maverick, Montu, Magnum, Beast, etc.. Sigh..enjoy the ride, the park is spending 30mil plus on us to have fun.. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
