ThrillKingsFitzy Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I don't know what is wrong with people when they say Banshee has a rattle! IT DOES NOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSourNinja Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 It definitely does lol. I'd say it's most prevalent sitting in the back and at the bottom of drops when you are close to the ground. Diamondback has a similar rattle that IMO has gotten significantly worse recently, most notable on the red train and around the turnaround. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifetimecoaster Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I've heard the rattle on Banshee while on the ride, I've only heard the rattle on Diamondback from the ground. I've known for some time that B&M's rattle, so it's never been a concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBEASTunchained Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 The rattle on Diamondback is sometimes intolerable. It has given me headaches numerous times. On the other hand, Banshee’s rattle that it has developed is just plain uncomfortable. Going through that many inversions, coupled with that type of rattling, is just not a good time sometimes. Really wish the park would do something about this. Worries me that they may let Project X get the same way in the future and not do anything about it. Maybe someone more knowledgeable on this topic could chime in, but isn’t the rattle caused by worn-out wheels? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsUp Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Maybe it's just me, but my Banshee rides this season have felt smoother than in previous years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI FANATIC 37 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I have always thought that Banshee has had a rattle since its opening weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIghostguy Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Banshee was rattling very, very bad last year. I had an awful ride on it April 14 of this year, but every ride on it since this season it’s as smooth as my first ride on it in October 2014. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I don’t mind the Banshee rattle but the one right before the helix on Diamondback almost always gives me a headache 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Yeah the one going into that helix with the camera on DB is so weird. It doesn’t give the me a headache or anything, it’s just such an odd place for an inconsistent sudden rattle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldhudsonjr Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I've noticed the rattle on both Diamondback and Banshee but neither one really bothers me much. Personally it does seem to have gotten worse since last season on both coasters, but I still think both of them ride great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSourNinja Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I guess when I talk about a rattle I mean rough patches that are generally close to the ground, anything that is high up in the air is very smooth for the most part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magenta Lizard Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 It bothers me when people don’t use apostrophes for possessives (or use them for plurals) but I think the “the” in the title is for the rattle, not the ride. To rearrange a little, it is saying “Does the rattle on Banshee bother you?” 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FUN&ONLY! Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 The rattle on Banshee is hit or miss for me. Sometimes, I barely notice it and really enjoy the ride, but other times, it is intolerable. I rode Banshee a few months after it opened and every year since then, and I don’t think it has gotten rougher over the years as it always had somewhat of a rattle. I always wondered, however, if the rattle is caused by the track itself or if it the new B&M trains or wheels. Most other B&M inverts have no rattle, and they have the old design of trains. If someone knows more about this, do you think it is the trains or simply the track? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ding Dong Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Wouldn’t the rattle on Diamondback be considered a feature? 6 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posting media owned by others without attribution is a plague on social media, and you're right to call it out when it happens. I'm glad that you're watermarking most of your photos so that others can't claim them as their own. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonahWilliamson Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Didnt realize Jerry Springer was entering the forum today.. Anyways read the title of this thread and YES, Banshee sometimes has rough rides. 80% of the time I love Banshee, she has rough rides with out a doubt. Nothin on Diamondback for me tho. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I am going to say no it doesn't bother me because it would be way worse. Thank you to all the gods its not a Vekoma SLC lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Yes it bothers me. :p I recently got a chance to ride the first ever B&M invert up in Illinois and of course it's a much smaller scale, but even Banshee's slower portions are more than it. Unfortunate, but hopefully it is being looked at, and can eventually be solved for Banshee; it's not enjoyable for me if I have a headache and try to ride. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
