rhit2004 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I wonder if that new area behind Delirium is queue overflow for Banshee. I think the queue will extend beyond the entrance plaza quite frequently this season (Diamondback still spills out into Rivertown) and instead of awkwardly snaking around they can have that reserve area with additional queue railing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevariouseffect Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 It just maybe that road is to get to the back of Delirium, they just decided to add that in. Or to allow them to go from AZ to Banshee easily.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medford Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I don't know what's going on in that area, but that used to be the best part of the park to watch the fireworks from. Not much of a crowd, clear view of the fireworks, breezes coming of Delirum and Drop Zone, plus some ice cream to enjoy from the stand next door, all with pretty much no one else sitting at the 3 or 4 tables that were back in that area. I don't think that's going to be an isolated spot to sit and enjoy the fireworks from anymore. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 ^ I used to think best spot was on WindSeeker until one night I was on the ride and the wind shifted BIG TIME and I had a very unpleasant smoky ride.... I will no longer ride WindSeeker during fireworks now! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheikra_rocks Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 If you call that unpleasant, do not ever go to Dollywood and ride the Dollywood Express. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoraX Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 If they are going to name the ride name her Lora. It's a great name that I am quite fond of. Of course Katie works well, too. She'd think it was named after her. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheikra_rocks Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 The ride is already named, Banshee. Why would they be picking a name for something that already has a name? I can see them wanting to name a statue, or a single train, but not a whole coaster that already has a name. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTD-120-420 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I also find it weird they are naming the lady on the logo, but if it gets me VIP media day passes I don't really care what the reasoning is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheikra_rocks Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Whatever the name is, I am going to hear Pat Carroll's voice in my head delivering the safety rules. Could you just imagine? I would LOVE to hear her voice coming out of the speakers at Banshee! 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevariouseffect Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 ^I'd love for her to say anything. She could be reading me a speeding ticket, it'd be amazing 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheikra_rocks Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 ^I'd love for her to say anything. She could be reading me a speeding ticket, it'd be amazing RIGHT! I love Pat Carroll. She has the perfect voice for a "Banshee" themed ride. I would wait in line just to hear the safety recordings. Edit: Do you remember this? Pat Carroll as a step sister in Rogers and Hammerstein's Cinderella. Carroll is in the blue. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coasterama Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 The new lighting set up is turning out great! Also is that a green light emitting from Stunt Crew Grill/ Chicken Shack?

UnrealNightmare Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 It's most likely not the coaster they want named. There's probably a Banshee prop somewhere near the ride and they want to name it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstop Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Maybe it's names for the trains. Three trains - three Banshees, like Stella and Lola, KK's Twisted Twins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calakapepe Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I still think that part that scoops around behind Slingshot is a new smoking area. Why do smokers get to have a cool area to photograph the new coaster?? *crosses arms like a young child* *joke* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSaturdayNite Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Because smoking is cool. That's why all the cool kids are doing it. By "cool," I mean stupid. And by "cool kids," I mean all us old farts who are paying dearly for rebelling against our parents during our wasted youths. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jandyb79 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I wonder if that new area behind Delirium is queue overflow for Banshee. I think the queue will extend beyond the entrance plaza quite frequently this season (Diamondback still spills out into Rivertown) and instead of awkwardly snaking around they can have that reserve area with additional queue railing. I used to drive a truck on the back roads when I worked at the park and believe this is simply a reroute to the concession service area. The gravel road that went under the Cobra had an exit behind Thunder Alley that would now be blocked by Banshee, so this new route makes the most sense to me. That road runs under the queue of Adventure Express and leads to Flight of Fear. You can see it quite well if you are riding The Racer on the left side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
