Surprised we didn't have reports of a new yellow slide in Soak City.

Giant noodle at the park this weekend
You might as well believe it, I'm sure it's really there. And as for who cares? KI's Accountants, and Krafts PR department. It helps the park make some extra cash, that deflects costs being sent to the consumer. At that point, I care to, wheel in the Weinermobile next to it and call it lunch land !!

Your Banshee Experience
Not a bad seat on the ride IMO. I've got 15 rides in, have rode every row, and while the front center, and back outside do stand out a little more than others, it's fantastic everywhere. The zero G roll and the inline twist from the front center seats, along with the view are awesome. The forces felt in the back are great as well. But I'd happily ride any seat on the train.

Banshee or Beast at night
Going to make for some very hard decisions later in the season when night rides must be chosen wisely.

The business of building roller coasters
As I remember, Vortex was also a record breaker when debuted. And after checking, Wikipedia agrees (notice I did not say confirms). " Vortex debuted as the tallest, full-circuit roller coaster with the highest drop in the world. It was also the first to feature six inversions." Edit: I only remembered the inversions record.

Also "back in the day" if someone had seen any child crossing said lines, they would not have hesitated to grab them by the back of the shirt and pull them back. Most likely with a stern talking to. Long gone are the days of community child rearing.

White Water Canyon
Not to mention blistered feet for those of us that didn't understand just how wet, wet could be!! That ride made me go to the park in sandals for years. My kids loved it, so I had to ride, even when I didn't really want to.

Banshee Construction Progress
Not mad, a bit disappointed that after time and again being asked to do a simple process of respecting a trademark, you have to press the issue. The park, the administrators, and the community itself have asked for this simple respect. Why some have to rebel against such a simple request is beyond me.
