milesharrison Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 The flame was back on this morning. It was out by 1, if not sooner. I think the wind likes to blow it out... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanofFirehawk Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 No they have a second flame burning at all times, at an undisclosed location, that they use to relight it if it ever goes it out. Duh! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ki95 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Rode Banshee for the first time today! All I can say is that it's definitely millions of dollars well spent! Can't wait to try the nighttime version sometime this season! Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milesharrison Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Agreed. Heading to Beast now for my night ride. Starting to actually believe that that valley is above an Indian Burial Ground. Lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterOhio Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Anyways, I just think the vests are too tight, they pull on my collar bones badly, and it hurts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vermillionlove Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Last video I promise, I have been asked for this video.... HAHA I see myself and my boyfriend @25sec.

OldieButGoodie Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Did I mention 'artistic license'? Oh yeah, I did. I prefer a couple of the coasters at CP, but Banshee's a great ride and I think KI did an awesome job with it - and that's what I was trying to convey in the interview.

MantisMan Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Not sure what was up with ERT yesterday (4/26) but the line was backed up to Festhaus seemingly immediately after opening the gates. They had a temporary que line setup near the ice cream stand that was checking for lose items AND handing out height bracelets creating a total bottleneck of the area...sigh. Pretty much a waste of time since we didn't ride till later in the day when the wait was ~20 minutes. And even then, they was still using the temp que (stopping point) causing confusion and AZ congestion since the station was fairly empty and could have handled the crowd much more efficiently. Just seemed odd how they handled the situation yesterday since that was the first time I seen it setup that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dane Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Posts about last night were removed, Banshee had some downtime and reopened later that evening. Idiots in the crowd yelled dumb things (as they typically do) that were completely untrue and their words blew things way out of proportion for those that can't think for themselves and/or lacking common sense. This post isn't directed towards anyone's post here on KIC that was there first hand as you simply said what you heard. (I am not employed nor contracted by Kings Island/Cedar Fair and do not speak on their behalf.) 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcgoble3 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Probably to prevent people from being misled by false claims. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucgrady Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Yeah so much for free speech, there was a loud noise and people ran around around scared. I didn't claim to know what it was, I was just letting people know about it. I didnt realize that KICentral was in the market of hiding things from the public. Meanwhile forty posts in a row about B&M vs Intamin or proper capitalization go without being deleted. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avatar Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Let me say this I was up on the loading platform getting off Banshee and just spoken to a supervisor of said coster about my ride experence and thoughts. As we walked to the stairs there was a loud noise and in my opinion made a biit louder because it echoed off the station interior walls. I could see what the issue was and was not concerned but knew it was going to be a maintence issue. The ride opps in the station were directing oncoming riders and those still exiting to in fact exit with and in position to point to the exit. Everything I seen went very professional and I was not worried or overlly concerned the guests (myself included) followed the instructions and exited the station area relatively quite orderly fashion. I have seen wildly exagerated recounts from others which is a shame and wonder way the need to do that. Kings Island has a wonderful new ride in Banshee and doesn't need exagerated negative press when they are trying to promote their new ride. As one who has no connection to the park other than being a guest with a season pass and seeing this situation first hand this is honesttly a non story other than a maintience issue that needed addressed like all rides do over time. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markr Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Thank you Jesse. I was in the queue when the noise happened. I have been hearing a lot of negative feedback about the crowd from people who were not there but I was trying to express in my previous post that none of us knew what was going on-it sounded like an alarm system and for all we knew there could have been a shooter-at any rate we all feared the worst. I feel everyone in the crowd ( including myself) made a wise, cautious decision to evacuate just to make sure that there was no safety issues-everyone evacuated from my perspective in a very orderly fashion with a minimum of panic. It was a relief to find out that nothing serious happened. Let me say thought that it was a frightening experience for myself and everyone one else in the queue . To hear some of the nasty comments about the crowd's reaction just outrages me. Thanks for letting me vent. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 It is NOT The Interpreter's Terms Of Service. It's KIC's. EDIT: The post to which this responded has apparently been deleted. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dieseltech20 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 NO problem at all. Most braking systems are cooled with air. Threads/posts relating to last nights "incident" were most likely removed because they were full of misinformation/speculation. Don't take it personal dude. I even had a reply deleted, no big deal. Air lines fail. I am sure this is not the first at Kings Island....nor will it be the last. Edit-You guys are deleting stuff faster than I am replying, lol. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfanatic83 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I wonder what Youngstud would have to say about Banshee. Since it got deleted in last night's debacle from the downtime, here is what he posted over on KIE, for those of you interested. http://www.kiextreme.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=5979&view=findpost&p=70121 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
