calakapepe Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 I wouldn't pursue that career because media days allows some reporters to ride first.The chances of being those reporters are slim, being on a news station that is covering a ride that you would even like to cover is slim, and being that particular reporter to ride is again... slim. 8
Fire-Beast-OF FEAR Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 He could pursue a career in being the GM of KI. Then he can ride whenever you want. 14
CoasterMyths79 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 I wanna become a PR just like Don Helbig! 5
thedevariouseffect Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Of course he was he wants to be a weatherman, show em the video But yes, we won't get front row or other seats, but at least you get to be apart of a coaster crew to come in and ride the ride(s). If I get a shot to ride The Bat for awhile, oh I'll marathon the hell out of it. Such a fantastic Arrow Suspended. But on other terms guys just respect the parks demands, they wanna be the ones showing off their product to the media and guests selling a good first impression, let them do that. I know they didn't give a motive, but it's simply that and makes sense. Let it be for now. Trust me I want to show and post my photos & video here from testing the last few weeks as well from the few times I've gone down. However, in due time. I'm just as excited to show this off and get involved with it like you guys are. Just be patient, he'll let us know when we can post all of our stuff to our hearts desire. 10
Coasterama Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 I wanna become a PR just like Don Helbig! I'm right there with you. I am actually writing an essay about public relations managers for a LA Writing class. 3
Kat Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 I don't at all trust Accuweather extended forecast but just for fun I decided to look up the weather prediction for Mason, OH for Media Day and opening day. Fascinating. Forecast found here for those interested: http://m.accuweather.com/en/us/mason-oh/45040/extended-weather-forecast/19290_pc Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk
Sonofbeast2.0 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 I don't know if it has been mentioned on here yet or not but the ride height for Banshee is 52 in. https://www.visitkingsisland.com/plan-a-visit/rider-height-requirements From Kings Island's website. 4
Kat Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Also max height of 78 inches and a rating of 5. Sweet. I was hoping for a 5 Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk 2
malem Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 ^^^ Forecasts more than a few days out are worth very little. At three weeks out, they're just guessing based on long-term averages and/or seasonal forecasts. Jonathan decided to have some fun with it one year: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php/topic/25285-accuweather-claims-25-day-forecast/ 7
Kat Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Oh I know it's just guessing and I have zero faith in it at all but it is still amusing to me lol Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk
Sonofbeast2.0 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Lets atleast hope for that temperature or up to like 75 would be great! 2
TheBEASTunchained Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 It looks like queue construction is underway this morning at the Banshee site. A cement mixer is under the lift hill where the queue line is supposed to be placed and it also looks like there is another near the brake run.

Coasterama Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 It appears the two trains remained stacked. I wonder if they left them out overnight. 1
steveinphoenix Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Yes, I myself had just noticed the other day about the MAXIMUM ride height of 78". I myself am 76". it will probably be first time in my life I may hunch down a little to NOT go over the ride height line....haha 5
Gplez90 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 ^^Im 76" too but it think we'll be good. Im more worried about losing my lower legs where the ride bottoms out! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 4
steveinphoenix Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 You read my mind Gplez90!!! I am sure our feet will be a good distance from the ground...but Im sure when I get to the low point I will be trying to raise my legs up.....im sure you will do the same...haha 4
Gplez90 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 I still do it when i ride Raptor and were flying past all of the supports! Ive always raised my legs on Raptor, so i always think what would happed if i didnt? Haha O_o Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 2
upstop Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Looks like they are going to go vertical with something in the circle today. 5
steveinphoenix Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 yeah I noticed that in the circle as well......not getting my hopes up to much though....seems like more times than not, they do something like this...and then just sit. 2
upstop Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Has queue line concrete been poured on the far end of the queue line? Looks solid and dark gray....just very different on my webcam. 1
Tuskin Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 I got to see Banshee testing over the weekend, while driving up I-71. Its quite the site to see. 6
Kat Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 At only 63 inches tall I don't have to worry about my feet scraping the ground on coasters lol though I do curl my legs in on Flying Ace Aerial Chase because it seems like my legs will hit otherwise lol but what do you expect being an adult riding a kiddie coaster?

Diamondbacker Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Also max height of 78 inches and a rating of 5. Sweet. I was hoping for a 5 Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk Max Height of 78 inches? I might only get to ride it once if I keep growing.
Kat Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 ^ how tall are you now and how old? Curious Kat likes to ask questions lol Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk 1
thedevariouseffect Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Don't die..curiosity seemed to do that for said animal 7
Kat Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Lol!!! I am more likely to die from some random injury it seems than curiosity. I sustained two minor injuries and one moderate injury in one week lol Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk
