Banshee Construction Progress

It's raining my lens would get all wet, and I'm sure you'd fog it up too the point I couldn't get a picture.

    We did not mention all the statistics during the announcement because statistics are not what make a roller coaster great; it's the ride experience it delivers that makes it great.

  • It's good to see me, isn't it? No need to respond! That was rhetorical. Under 30 days until Banshee makes its public debut! We can't wait for you to come out and experience this ride.

    We have guests that are more excited about our live shows than our roller coasters, that visit the park specifically for the shows. For these guests, the Cirque Imagine announcement was as exciting as

I remember someone requesting what the skyline looks like with Banshee Here ya go, I forget who it was though.

Is Invertigo taller than Banshee?

I think Invertigo is 130 And Banshee is 160. Not much difference.

From the picture it seems if Invertigo is taller but it can be the elevation change

Just saw this good picture of Banshee from Coney Mall on the Kings Island Central Facebook page....

Great view of Banshee from Coney Mall!

It's called "perspective"

Wow, Banshee looks really good from Coney Mall! Consider me impressed. I like this ride more and more as it grows. :)

The rest of the photos taken by KICentral Facebook today......

Thought I'd post these, for some of you whom don't have Facebook.

Up, Up, and Away.......Wails the spirit of a Beastly Son and a Demon whom screamed loud enough to scare away Lions and Cobras.......Banshee?...

Just thought I'd provide some new angles to you guys after having gone to the park :)

BTW. The catwalk for the top of the lift is assembled (as I saw while riding Adventure Express) and I expect it up soon!

Someone showed this, but I didn't see it until after taking this shot.

Adding to the collection of these..

And one of these for good measure.. BTW the track and supports in the distance make me excited for the next two weeks!

Guess I'll add my pics for the day (10-6-13) ...

Looks like they are putting up the last of the lift hill catwalk.

finally, thanks for the pics. I was getting antsy wondering when someone was going to get them.

side note: not really new to the site, was on here last 2009 so I forgot my password and made a new account.

I figure it'll be a few more days till we see any more webcam visible progress. They need to put the handrails on the lift steps, plus there is probably other less visible work to be done to them. Combine that with a lack of supports and track in the dive loop area and I expect a few boring days for us stalkers. lol

Drove by the factory today. There are two truckloads ready for shipment. One with supports and one with track pieces. Sorry...no photographs. Maybe they will ship out this week.

They have set up another of the short supports.

looks like it's for the end of the dive loop/beginning of the loop interacting with the lift hill.

they must be slowing down from getting the lift and drop done so fast. I was hoping to see at least the first 2 loops done when I go on the 25th, but i'll settle for the first loop. really happy the drop is done though. if anyone has noticed from the animation vids the first loop goes as high as Delirium in full swing (unless its the perspective messing with my eyes) in other words its going to be huge. and also there are a lot of supports on this one.

I'm guessing they'll start work from that new support to the loop around the lift hill. Doubt they'll lift steel so close to AZ's midway until HH is over.

actually that does make since because one of the supports on the dive loop is right on the midway pretty much and if the fence is in the way it would have to be removed and then that would just be an invitation for people to walk right into the construction site, which im guessing is a big no no without permission.
