TombRaiderFTW Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 ^ I would highly recommend getting Don's permission before trying to stream anything online from Media Day. With all the requests that have been made so far related to Banshee, that seems like it could easily be something they don't want happening if you aren't actually part of the news media. 6
CoasterGeek101 Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Anybody recall my live stream of the Banshee announcement? I didn't get permission for that and Don didn't have a problem with it. I have a better program now to live stream in 720p HD.. Which should make the picture look even better. Don reads these forums... So Don... If you have a problem with this just let me know... 9
TombRaiderFTW Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Correct. That event was also open to the public. Also, it was before any significant requests had been made by the park related to our coverage of Banshee. I'm not saying I know something; I'm just saying that it isn't going to hurt to contact him. 3
Shawn Meyer Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 I love the Entrance to Banshee! When I first looked at it, I thought it was something from Universal studios Islands of Adventure because of the theming they put into it. 17
TTD-120-420 Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 I would watch, but I'll be there in person... 6
KIBOB Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 The attention to detail is amazing. It is now very obvious that Dick Kinzel is gone. It's really happening.... After six years, the park is truly getting back to its roots. 18
PhantomTheater Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 The entrance sort of reminds me of Canada's Wonderland's Ghoster Coaster's entrance. 6
Hoeter Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Front gate receiving a much needed face lift pic.twitter.com/mCWW0a3ixU — Greg Scheid (@KIGMGREG) April 5, 2014 Walkway into the queue being poured this morning. No sign of Eve (our Banshee) yet. #KIBanshee pic.twitter.com/JUVkCxgBQr — Greg Scheid (@KIGMGREG) April 5, 2014 Glad to see the front gate is getting some TLC! Since Cedar Fair took control of the park, we went from having just a walk-up Guest Relations window to a walk-in setup. That improved traffic in that area already. Nice to see Cedar Fair improving the gates, and in regards to theming for Banshee, it's about time Kings Island got something as themed as this. It's been long overdue! I cannot wait to get back out there, it's been a long winter! Less than 2 weeks everybody! 10

Fire-Beast-OF FEAR Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Failure to comply will result in death by Nickels and spending a week bunking with Rob Alvey on a TPR Japan trip. 18
BB1 Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Failure to comply will result in death by Nickels and spending a week bunking with Rob Alvey on a TPR Japan trip. Don't forget the 5 hours of donkeys hosted by BB1 and Co. 7
CoasterOhio Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 I really hope that the first half of Banshee (The Dive Loop, Loop, and Zero-G Roll) Will be fun as the second half of Banshee, because with all of the lights right there, it may not be fully fun at night right there. 2
thoe124 Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 It would be cool if they turned out the lights right before the train hit that section! 3
Gplez90 Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Kinda like how the lights under Raptor's cobra roll turn off when the train hits the element? 4
thoe124 Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Yeah something like that. Just to make it dark for more of the ride but still be lit up for the people walking by 2
CoasterOhio Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Eve is at it again! Testing before opening day!(My name for Banshee would've been Elvira if I had known about the naming thing sooner) 4
The Interpreter Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 It's All About Eve. Terp, from a different era. 7
Ride On_17 Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 I really wonder how Banshee will compare to other inverts like Raptor. I'll be very curious to ride it and see. I can already tell it will be a fantastic ride, though. 1
UnrealNightmare Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Eve is at it again! Testing before opening day! (My name for Banshee would've been Elvira if I had known about the naming thing sooner) Eve is the name of the Banshee on the logo not the coaster. I don't think people are getting this. 10
CoasterOhio Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Eve is at it again! Testing before opening day! (My name for Banshee would've been Elvira if I had known about the naming thing sooner) Eve is the name of the Banshee on the logo not the coaster. I don't think people are getting this. I know that :/
rcwizard13 Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 I think Eve is just meant to be the name of the Banshee that our new for 2014 contraption is named after. Not just the logo, not just the coaster, Eve's the Banshee that inspired the name and is portrayed in the logo. So if someone want's to call a train running the course "Eve," I think it's fine. 2
The Interpreter Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 That sure sounds like it's all about Eve. 7

KI FANATIC 37 Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Just caught a train going through the loop on the webcam. Counting down the hours now! 1
Gplez90 Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 I am expecting A LOT out of this ride at night. They are pretty much saying that a night ride on Banshee WILL BE better than a night ride on The Beast. What could possibly make a night ride on Banshee (or any ride for that matter) better than The Beast? 3
FoF96" Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 But during Halloween Haunt The Beast has fog effects...sometimes. 4
CoasterOhio Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Banshee seems to be on the lift hill, but not moving, probably doing something inside of the station.
