cjt121099 Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 What are the blue rectangular things on the lift hill
fanofFirehawk Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 They will be supporting the staircase that is underneath the track for emergency evacuations.
ohiocolts Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 That is wickedly twisted don't care what Wicked Twister says! 4
thoe124 Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Suddenly, this ride runs up (somehow), screaming "NO! ONLY I AM WICKEDLY TWISTED! Banshee IS JUST REGULAR TWISTED!" (Sorry, could not resist...) Mcsalsa is right. Banshee only twists 180. Wicked twister twists 360 on each side. (Making it twist a full 720 degrees!
fanofFirehawk Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 False, Banshee makes 7 inversions and all sorts of other elements. So if I do the math right…. hold on…. that is….. uh…. 1 BILLION Degrees. Or like 2,520 Degrees... 8

flightoffear1996 Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 I guess that will be the so called money shot for the park. Delirium swinging with a Banshee train passing by. 9
Diamondbacker Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 I'm still waiting for a picture from I-71. I would love to see how our beloved Banshee looks from out there. 1
calakapepe Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Coming from the south, or the north?? hmm... -- does anyone think we will finally see Delirium swing to the South on the park map next year?? 1

That's gonna be freaky but awesome. WAY steeper than Raptor's first drop! 1
Kat Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 I'm still waiting for a picture from I-71. I would love to see how our beloved Banshee looks from out there. I will try to get that this weekend 3
TheBEASTunchained Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Another picture of Banshee's first drop..... (Photo Courtesy of KingsIslandPR) 11
fanofFirehawk Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 I can't wait to see the train dropping down that drop! I hope Devin Olson does a "From Dreams to Screams" for Banshee. 6
Vortex lover Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 I wonder how Banshee will look from flight deck? 2
MatterEaterLad Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 There are supports being unloaded from a truck right now! 2
RailRider Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 That is some first drop goodness. The drop looks very nasty and is steeper than I thought it would be. Not sure if it is just the perspective of the pictures or really is that steep. As this ride continues to go up I am more and more impressed with the overall size and scope. The renderings have not done it justice. If only we had a trailer tower on site 6
McSalsa Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 They say this ride will have an elevation change of 208' , does anybody know what the elevation change is on The Beast ? Just curious If I am correct, I recall from somewhere that Beast's terrain elevation difference is over 300 feet from the top of the lift hill to the lowest part of the valley. Not 100% sure on that, and can't give the exact number though... Also, these latest Banshee pictures...this ride is looking awesome. 3
CoastersRZ Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 I have NEVER heard that about The Beast. I doubt much work gets done on it today, with the scattered heavy showers. It just poured here at my office on the east side.
davidw Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 looks like they might be installing more of the chain carrier track thing.
calakapepe Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 This ride will have at least one forceful spot, we know that for sure. (I'm assuming more!)
davidw Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 and its back again... but looking at it now, it looks more like part of the catwalk (removed) 3
Adventuro Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 I can't wait to ride Delirium or Drop to see this from those angles.
Tanna Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 There are supports being unloaded from a truck right now! Old DC Legion of Superheroes fan, I see. The ride look so dynamic, people are going to be drawn to it like moths to a flame. I can't wait to see the expressions of the people as they take that dive. I wonder where the ride photo will be?
davidw Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 your daily update... note much completed today because of the rain 6
calakapepe Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Glad to see that we will be able to see below us as we ascend to the top Won't feel like we're trapped as much. --- and its back again...but looking at it now, it looks more like part of the catwalk Why does this image have a different angle than the website? I switched back and forth--... actually, this image might be skewed from however you saved it. Or unskewed it... the website cam looks like the image is squished in from the sides, making the bottom of the drop seem more sudden.. Your picture looks more realistic.
vortexfan Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 KI's site appears to squish the image to fit the site's dimensions. To view it unaltered, right click the webcam image and open in a new tab or window. 3
