Here is a critique of Banshee. I'm not sure who these people are, but they have a lot of coaster videos. I want to say it's some kid and his older sister, but they kind of act like boyfriend and girlfriend or something. I've only met a few of you over the past ten or so years, but I always thought that you guys definitely didn't live up to the "nerd" reputation that coaster enthusiasts typically have... these guys do. **Warning: There is some... colorful... language by the older woman.

Thought i would share this picture taken from the Kings Island webcam this morning. Would've been awesome if the lights were on!

Banshee is not purple, it's Mystic Red.

That would be former KIC member gigacoaster2k and her boyfriend. I only say "former" because her account's active but she hasn't been on here in quite some time.

I think Banshee is kind of magenta. I'm probably biased though.

That doesn't make her a former member. Inactive, maybe, but not former.

Video is two well known folks at the park. They are a couple and I believe the same age. As for the video it really needs to be edited and more about the ride. I really did not get much from it. Others tell me this ride is amazing and many ride it over and over. More enthusiasm please!!

After getting to ride Banshee for the first time in the front row last night, I don't want to ride in any other row.

It's amazing; I thought my face was going to get smeared on one of the rails of the track during the 0 G roll !!

Semantics.

I say to-may-to, you say to-mah-to. Could we be a little more nit-picky?

^^Good that'll free up 84 for me

Kidding aside, I really haven't found a bad seat other than a bit of rattle in row 4 that I don't enjoy

Yes.

If you like...

My first ride ever was in 8-4. (Wanted 8-1 but my group was put in that row first.

The back is slightly better than the middle, but the very front is on another level.

Find Terp in row one. Or the night row.

Of all the times I've ridden Banshee, I've only been in row 1 once.

It is my favorite place to sit, though.

On most coasters, especially B&M coasters, I'm usually a back-seat kind of guy, and that's usually where you'll find me sitting.

In the case of Banshee, my seat choice is not the same.

I've tried almost every row and seat on the ride, mostly in the blue train, and I can honestly say that riding in the front row is by-far the BEST place to sit on Banshee.

After riding in the front row, I realized that I never wanted to sit anywhere else on Banshee again.....

Tis an amazing seat for the fireworks!

I'm still trying to decide on my favorite seat. I did get my first 8-4 ride today (walk-on! ) and it was incredible. Now I have to decide between that and both front corners.

Honestly, there is not a bad seat anywhere on Banshee. Every seat is great.

We missed seeing you today Jonathan.

I did too! I also thought my arm was going to get chopped off at the bottom of the first drop by one of the supports.

Did you at least partly make up for it by seeing #Jonathan?

I did see #Jonathan. It's a must do. You can hug #Jonathan and it does not try to run away. #KIBigNoodle

Please do not place the pound symbol in front of anything but "Jonathan". Thank you.

I'm so old it shall always be the number sign. Like #303 cans.

Sorry, I forgot. You can place the pound symbol in front of numbers, too.

You can also use the pound symbol when referring to channels (i.e. chat rooms) on an irc (Internet Relay Chat) server.

Which is actually where Twitter got inspiration for its microblog tag scheme.

Let me just say that riding Banshee in the front is nothing less than amazing! One of the greatest experiences I've ever had!

Edited cuz of Terp lol.

You know what I mean. [emoji57]

I'm also impressed at how fast the line was going. Was expecting like a 45 minute wait but it was only like 20 minutes. These people do a great job at operating Banshee!

Took my son a couple of weekends ago, park looked packed.....so we bought Fast Passes. Needless to say we rode Banshee 12 times.....yes 12 It was amazing.....front ....back....and every seat in between. Such an incredible ride!

Finally took ride number two yesterday morning and loved it. So far I have been on the far right side of rows one and two. Looking to change this on Wednesday
