Shooting Star Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWAddington Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Thought i would share this picture taken from the Kings Island webcam this morning. Would've been awesome if the lights were on! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I think Banshee is kind of magenta. I'm probably biased though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 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!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 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 !! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedevariouseffect Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 ^^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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Find Terp in row one. Or the night row. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Of all the times I've ridden Banshee, I've only been in row 1 once. It is my favorite place to sit, though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBEASTunchained Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 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..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Tis an amazing seat for the fireworks! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 !! 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malem Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 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. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticsTimber Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Let me just say that riding Banshee in the front is nothing less than amazing! One of the greatest experiences I've ever had!

MysticsTimber Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 You know what I mean. 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!

firehawk fan Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 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! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieseltech20 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
