Coasterama Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Last night on August 8, 2013 at 10:00 pm... Kings Island unveiled plans for their biggest investment ever, Banshee; the 4,124.1 foot, 68 mph inverted scream machine. If you would like to share any news, facts, opinions, etc. about the ride... this is the place to be! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kicsehlhorst Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Why is there multiple Banshee topics? (I know it's a new coaster in all that and we are freaked out by its coolness) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDMC01 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Well, I am totally pumped for Banshee; bring on 2014! While walking through the park yesterday, I was picturing how the ride would look from different places in the park (such as the Parking lot, I-Street and Coney) EDIT: I also really like the Banshee's screech; it reminds me of Rodan's screech from the Godzilla movies! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weberc3 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 has anyone noticed in the renderings and videos that there is a lack of Adventure Express? they put the effort in to put in top gun, Delirium, WindSeeker, outer limits....i hope they were just being lazy... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming it was just laziness- there is no real good reason to remove Adventure Express ATM. It isn't in Banshee's way at all, is only 22 years old which for a Mine Train is still young (there are Mine Trains from the 1960's still going very strong today), and is still popular with nearly a million riders every year. It has very high capacity (rarely will you wait more than 20 minutes at most!), and is reliable. And there's a large fanbase that would go bonkers on Kings Island if it were removed in 2014. Hopefully, Kings Island isn't dumb enough to remove this popular ride. Now Sling Shot is also not in the rendering video, though its removal would make more sense- it's over 10 years old, is an upcharge, and has fewer total rides given than any other ride in the park. I can see it going, leaving only 3 upcharge attractions- Dinosaurs Alive!, Dinosaurs Alive! 3D, and Xtreme Skyflyer- in the park. My theory is they didn't render everything because they wanted the video's frame rate to stay smooth (this animation was done on PC's), so they just rendered a bunch of the most popular rides that would be clearly visible in the video and left everything else- including AE- out... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 In the real world, cost avoidance is important. It's not a matter of being lazy, it's a matter of being smart. Spend where it matters. Save where it does not. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McSalsa Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 ^Also quite possible. It did cost them money to make the render video too. And hey, if they can save a few bucks by not rendering a ride that is hidden deep in the woods and is mostly out-of-sight to most park guests anyway...(The only place from within the park you can even see AE well from off-ride is the Blue Racer exit and it's q-line anyway) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanofFirehawk Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 You could see Diamondback way off in the distance in some shots, I think that would be something they wouldn't spend the time to render and not something that borders the new ride. But does anyone know what is going on is side of greg and don's pretty little heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
