Gplez90 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 That is probably where the lockers will be located 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCrypt Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 At least from this distance, the structure doesn't look permanent. I highly doubt any lockers would go there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 In the world of construction.. nothing is permanent. I vote... lockers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zayzayd13 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Ok it's official (IMO)...I haven't even ridden Banshee yet and already I'm saying it's the best ride in the park. The ride itself is spectacular, but the theming to go with it is phenomenal. Kings Island, I think you just hit a grand slam with this project. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gplez90 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I can't make out what the metal arch above the entrance --- What you said ^^ I can't make it out. --- There also appears to be a huge stone-like pillar the the left of the entrance of the first loop, and to the right of the queue entrance walkway, beyond the queue entrance arch.. I can't be more specific. For the pillar you are talking about thats behind the queue entrance arch, Don did say that the on-ride photo camera was going between the Dive Loop and the loop surrounding the lift hill. I wonder if this pillar will house the camera. Also, i wonder if they will have to use two cameras as they do on other inverts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zayzayd13 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I whole heartedly believe that Banshee will win The Golden Ticket Award for "Best New Attraction." Sorry SFGAm fans, but Goliath doesn't have a chance against Banshee IMO. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gplez90 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 ^^Im with ya on that one! Im going to go ride Goliath at some point during the summer. It looks like a great ride, but far to short. Banshee is BY FAR the best looking new ride of 2014. It has everything you could ever want in an invert, speed, size, giant loop that seem like they pull incredible Gs, and an unbelievable theme! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RingMaster Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I whole heartedly believe that Banshee will win The Golden Ticket Award for "Best New Attraction." Sorry SFGAm fans, but Goliath doesn't have a chance against Banshee IMO. If they manage to do half of what they say they're going to do inside Gringott's Wizarding Bank, then Universal's upcoming Escape From Gringott's dark ride is poised to take top honor this year like Forbidden Journey did in 2010. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zayzayd13 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Goliath has it's perks, but the layout is really compact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I am really looking forward to night time two weeks from now, to see how this ride looks at night. It's going to look incredible. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I hope the flashing from the camera isn't too annoying.If it is at all.. I wouldn't imagine it'd be all that bad anyways. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gplez90 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I think it won't be too much of an issue as long as there isn't one on each side of the track, because one will point away from the queues and the rest of Action Zone and the other one would point directly at the entrance and Action Zone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbias1 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Whats the sign in the arch say? Haunted Hill.......I think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveinphoenix Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Well I am leaving from Phoenix to be there on the 17th day after tomorrow...im driving. Why am I leaving so early? Because I am taking a long way to get there and stopping at every amusement park on the way....... 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodBlade21 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I wonder if there will be some sort of crowd control for opening day to prevent a "running of the bulls" toward the Banshee queue line... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoF96" Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 ^^you mean the one security guard who takes down the yellow rope in the morning? Good luck is all I have to say to whoever attempts it! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 For all you guys saying Banshee for Golden Ticket, you're seriously underestimating what RMC can do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnrealNightmare Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 They are also forgetting that Goliath isn't Banshee's only competition this year. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coasterama Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Rides like Flight of the Demons, Medusa, and even Helix are reasonable competitors for Banshee. Goliath is simply the biggest competitor because it, along with Banshee, breaks world records. I do however think Banshee will almost definitely win best new ride this year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Depends on if FUN or SIX pays more money for the award. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gplez90 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I think Helix has a better chance than Goliath does. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zayzayd13 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I know Goliath is not Banshee's only competition. 2014 is a great year for coasters all around the world. I also realize what RMC can do. They can deliver a spectacular ride (Outlaw Run, Iron Rattler, New Texas Giant, Steel Medusa, Goliath). But IMO, Banshee is a front runner.

CoasterMyths79 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I doubt that Helix would win the Golden Ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterMyths79 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I think the three major players this year is Banshee, Goliath, and Harry Potter and the Escape From Gringotts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnrealNightmare Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Doe Universal even medal in such things as the Golden Ticket Awards? Edit: My point is I don't think Universal really cares about them. Truly the GTA's mean nothing. Millennium Force hasn't been the best steel coaster in 10 years. And Cedar Point isn't the best park. Money talks. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gplez90 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Goliath is the woodie with the Dive Loop and the 85 degree 185' drop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 *picks jaw up off floor* ok that coaster just looks like a world of hurt.... I'll stick to watching the YouTube video of it... It looks awesome but my experience with giant wooden coasters has always been pain. I'll stick to The Beast.Edit:Ok yeah Goliath is the one I was thinking of with the zero G rollImage found here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
