April 12, 201412 yr 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!
April 12, 201412 yr I think I'm in between the Batwing and the first drop. Zero G-roll seems like a bit of fun as well.
April 12, 201412 yr 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.
April 12, 201412 yr Somebody post the list of poll options please. Tapatalk doesn't show polls. Transmitted from Wild Space via my datapad's DROID brain
April 12, 201412 yr Author Lift Hill Curved Drop Dive Loop Vertical Loop Around the Lift Hill Zero-G-Roll Batwing Second Vertical Loop Turnaround Spiral Extended In-Line-Roll Carousel Helix into Brake Run Other (explain in comments) Is this good for Tapatalk?

April 12, 201412 yr I think I'm most interested in the drop into the valley while riding in the back seat. That drop looks very intense!
April 12, 201412 yr 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. Transmitted from Wild Space via my datapad's DROID brain
April 13, 201412 yr 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..
April 13, 201412 yr 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
April 13, 201412 yr I think that the best part of Banshee is that it's a purple people eater. 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 We also have Firehawk, which has an identical layout to another coaster called Batwing.
April 13, 201412 yr 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.
April 13, 201412 yr 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)
April 13, 201412 yr 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.)
April 13, 201412 yr 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) 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).
April 13, 201412 yr 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!
April 15, 201412 yr Author 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!
April 16, 201412 yr 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.
