BoddaH1994 Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Don Helbig was kind enough to allow me to come out to the park to get some exclusive shots of Banshee construction. The photography conditions were a little tight with the overcast, but this is still something you'll want to see. The album can be found by following clicking here. 33 Quote
Oldschool75 Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Holy crap! that is low at the end of the first drop. Quote
RollerColt Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Found my background picture for my phone! Thanks for sharing the amazing pictures! Quote
Coaster Addict Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Great pictures! Thank you Don for allowing BoddaH1994 to come onto the property for these photos. Quote
Joncars05 Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Thanks for the photos. These are great. Holy crap! that is low at the end of the first drop.I was thinking the same thing. But I also think because they are usuing restraints similar to Gatekeeper, Banshee can get lower to the ground than traditional B&M inverts. They tilt back a bit so your legs shouldn't dangle down as far as other inverts. The clip below shows the angle well around 4 seconds into the clip. Quote
IndyGuy4KI Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Awesome pics! Thanks for sharing with us! Quote

Tanna Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Thanks for doing this! I can imagine how cold it was to take these great photos. The construction crew is so fast, considering how complex the structure is. Quote

BoddaH1994 Posted October 24, 2013 Author Posted October 24, 2013 Thanks for doing this! I can imagine how cold it was to take these great photos. The construction crew is so fast, considering how complex the structure is. The coldest times I've been to the park for photos was when they topped off Diamondback at about 7:00a the week if Thanksgiving 2008 as well as several of the Firehawk construction days when I had to dodge ice spots on the pavement. 1 Quote

Jasper Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Excellent pictures, the ride is really coming along great. Did not realize the bottom of the first drop was going to hug the ground that much, should make for a really neat experience. Can't wait until the batwing goes up. 2 Quote
