Diamondbacker27 Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 I hope Banshee doesn't make turns at high speeds. I hate when Raptor goes through the Corkscrew or Cobra Roll at almost full speed. I have to stick my head to the side of the restraint!

I have to stick my head to the side of the restraint! I think it will be pretty smooth since Banshee has neither a cobra roll or a corkscrew 1
Oldiesmann Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 So I have one main question....If any of you would like to help answer.....Is SlingShot preparing to bite the dust or is it just not in the videos? Slingshot is staying. It can be seen in the "offride" video: 6
coasterfanatic83 Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Where in the video did you see it? Am I just blind? (which wouldn't surprise me) Also, it looks like someone was a little ambitious with Firehawk's height at the 0:56 mark 1
razmataz99 Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 ^Right at the begging you can see part of it. (I think)
TheCrypt Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 I think he's mistaking Slingshot for Xtreme Skyflyer. 5
MantisMan Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Pause the vid @ 0:08.....you can see both sling & flyer. 7
PKIVortex Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 No Sling Shot in the video, but I think they were just bringing attention to Banshee, no need to bring attention to Singshot!
PKIVortex Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 mantisman, that is skyflier you see at 0:08, that is all Skylier!
MantisMan Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Yikes, you're right. Not sure what I was thinking 4
MantisMan Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 The yard mowing/beer drinking is obviously affecting my judgement, lol. 2
homestar92 Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 I wouldn't mind seeing Slingshot move to X-base. It would fit the theme there. But of course, it would still be visible in the video if they were planning to move it there and if the video mattered at all for that. Overall, unless Banshee NEEDED that area, I don't see Slingshot moving. And if Bashee DID need that area, you would see Slingshot moved, not removed. No way the park would get rid of a successful upcharge. Thunder Alley was probably not making much since the karts were gas-powered and you had to pay two or three attendants to run it. Slingshot makes money hand-over-fist, or at least it sure looks that way. 4
SonofBaconator Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 There is no Invertigo or Adventure Express in the video. That doesn't mean they are going to go. I just think slingshot was in the way on the pov so they just trashed it from the video 3
KI FANATIC 37 Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 I normally go to Action Zone only once during my trips to KI. I haven't really enjoyed that section of the park since Son of Beast went SBNO. Now that Banshee is there I will probably spend the majority of my time in the good ole' Action Zone! I can't wait to see the whole area complete. Just a little favor for Kings Island, please make the cirular area that holds the Banshee sign a fountain! That would complete all of my wishes!! 2
Dieseltech20 Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Just because something isn't in the rendering doesn't mean it is being removed. Adventure Express for example. The opposite is also true. Just because something is in the renderings doesn't mean it will be there. All those Trees for example. 21
TTD-120-420 Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 That is one of the things I am worried about. That area is going to look like a baron wasteland If they don't plant a lot of trees. 14
kirbias1 Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Yeah, they are going to have to do a lot of landscaping. 2
YoungStud Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 I hope Banshee doesn't make turns at high speeds. I hate when Raptor goes through the Corkscrew or Cobra Roll at almost full speed. I have to stick my head to the side of the restraint! No headbanging with the Gatekeeperesque restraints. Fast elements = force. 2
kirbias1 Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 There is no Invertigo or Adventure Express in the video. That doesn't mean they are going to go. I just think slingshot was in the way on the pov so they just trashed it from the video I like slingshot. I hope they don't remove it. 1
Dieseltech20 Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 When did the decoding thread get unlocked? I thought I clicked on the "Construction Progress" thread. 18
BeastForever Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Did anyone else notice that Banshee's supports match the color of Delirium's? I personally think they both go great together. 8
Kat Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 here's something interesting for you.... https://www.visitkingsisland.com/Banshee/the-ride/track-layout click on "video" and play the video..... perhaps a place holder til the ride is actually built?? If so, why not just put one of the POV videos up?? 1
Vortexfreak Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 This might have been brought up before but does anyone think Action Zone Might be re themed to a Halloween type zone? Banshee looks like a very fun coaster and I love the color scheme but it doesn't match up to that area at all, Just my thoughts. 2
UnrealNightmare Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 If you guys wanna do a bit more decoding, once the track starts to arrive look for track like this. If it has these holes and its not a long straight section it's probably going to have trims. Then again it could be like Patriot and they just opt to have them there just in case they wanna add a trim later. 6
BeastForever Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Let's keep our fingers crossed for no trims! 12
UnrealNightmare Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 I just noticed in the Diamondback animated POV it showed it's trim brake. Here's to hoping this is a good sign for Banshee! At the 0:48 mark you can see it. 2
Kat Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Ok I'm confused someone explain what this trim stuff means please?
The Interpreter Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 A trim brake trims the speed of the coaster. Just like it sounds like. 6
Kat Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 A trim brake trims the speed of the coaster. Just like it sounds like. Ok so this is different than an MCRB? I haven't seen what looks like ANY set of brakes at any point during the ride on Banshee, and don't see that happening since it was said the 68mph would be reached during the second half of the ride.
The Interpreter Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 A MCBR can STOP a train if need be. Trim brakes normally cannot. Mantis rather famously got trim brakes installed on its first drop after it opened. 4
