Which part of Banshee are you most excited for?

Featured Replies

Which part (element) of the Banshee ride experience are you most looking forward to?

I made the poll private so that people won't be discouraged from participating. If I am missing anything let me know and I will add it!

Honestly the whole ride is going to be a great experience. Noone has been in that area of the park at those heights enjoying a coaster in years. Just to think you're only a few feet shorter and a little over from the original crest of SOB.

Other than the sentimental and nostalgic aspect of the ride in that area, just look at it cycle, it's an impressive creation, it just works perfectly as any machine should.

Somebody post the list of poll options please. Tapatalk doesn't show polls. :(

All of it. [emoji1]

I think I'm most interested in the drop into the valley while riding in the back seat. That drop looks very intense!

Other, the brake run :D .

Definitely the zero-G roll and subsequent drop into the valley. I'm hoping it's set up so that you actually stay weightless all the way down the drop. That by itself would be enough for it to become my new #1 steel coaster.

I can't wait for all of it plus the effects at night!

I voted other because I feel the best part of the Banshee addition is going to be the area around it. I'm looking forward to seeing the theming around the ride and queue. As we have seen with the grave stones, ect..

I like and want it all.

Batwing for sure :) it will always be pretzel loop in my mind because that's what it looks like but i know it's a Batwing. Though why we have a Batwing on Banshee when there is The Bat with no Batwing doesn't make tons of sense but whatever they both will be awesome lol

I think that the best part of Banshee is that it's a purple people eater.

We also have Firehawk, which has an identical layout to another coaster called Batwing.

I can't wait to stand in line during the summer. I want to envy people riding before me while the hot sun is burning my neck. :)

To hear, " All clear".

And hopefully NOT:

"That all clear means you guys are up and out of here so sit upright, hold on tight and enjoy your ride on Banshee!"

And thankfully, we will definitely not have to hear:

"Down goes the floor, now you're out the door" as is often spieled on Inverted Coasters (especially at Cedar Fair parks)

I'm looking forward to the whole thing, but I voted for the first drop.

First drop will be awesome in the back seat I imagine. And the in-line twist will be a cool change of pace for Kings Island.

(Firehawk's twists aren't the same EDIT: And as mentioned, I agree, I wasn't saying Firehawk's twists are bad. They are very fun; just a different orientation and experience.)

That's not to say, however, that Firehawk's in-line twists aren't awesome. Those twists are my favorite element on any Kings Island coaster (pending my thoughts on Banshee).

I can't wait for the entire thing, but I'm super excited for the dive loop. I can just imagine the quick upside down view at the top. Can't believe Friday is just around the corner!

You know this ride is going to be an incredible experience when there are so many different elements that people are looking forward to. This poll is very spread out, as I expected. The whole experience ought to be awesome!

Looking forward the most to just being able to see the entrance plaza, but as far as the poll question goes, the Batwing. With it reaching top speed at the bottom I feel like there will be plenty of forces.

After watching those illegal POVs (sorry?) that curve on the drop looks sick.
