One firm that is working on the ride that was not mentioned is Tony Ravagnani Architects. TRA is based in Cincinnati, OH and also did work on Cedar Point`s new entrance and Gatekeeper. http://www.tonyravarch.com/ TRA worked on the station for Banshee.

This is of particular interest to me, since I currently work at Tony Ravagnani Architects. And yes, I did work on the project.

That had to be fun!

It is incredibly fun! If ever there was a dream job, this is pretty close to it for me. I still can`t believe that I get paid to work on awesome projects like this. I actually left my position at K4 Architecture back in May to take this position at TRA, knowing that I might get to work on amusement park projects. It was a risky decision, but it so far, has turned out brilliantly. (Not to mention that I am still doing some contract work on the side for K4 and maintaining their website).

So I am really looking forward to the opening of Banshee to see my project built too! Its always an awesome feeling to see a project that you had a hand in get built in three dimensions.

I just had dinner with a couple in which the husband worked on the original park before it opened. He's had many jobs, but he particularly loved that one.

There need to be more feel good articles like this to read from the every day mundane and often outright depressing reads. Its good to read about local businesses working together to complete something benefiting everyone from the people who work on a project to the finished project with riders smiling and saying "what a great ride". Thank you for sharing this!
