Kings Island answered the question: "8,000 pounds"

My dad (OhioChris) is a heavy man but doesn't look big at all and he couldn't fit in the row for larger guests on Gatekeeper. I hope that'll give him motivation to lose the weight for Banshee.lol I personally loved Gatekeepers seats! And I can't wait to feel them on a ride at our home park!

my phone auto-corrected the word "track" to "tack." now they will.haha.

ha. very clever.

next piece of track going in place!

I love when physically evident construction days like today happen.

thanks everyone!

I've only ever been the last day of the season once or twice but was too young to care about the crowds. So I was wondering what to expect on the last day because I'm taking my brother for the first time in a year or two. So, light crowds, moderate, or packed?

didn't mean to sort of double post what fryoj said.

it looks like a few tops of some supports are ready.

there's already a thread about this topic. check: "rumors"

to make up for my stupidity I looked every where for flight deck apparel/gifts and only found these shirts in the $10 and under store, on clearance, for $5. and this hat for $5 as well. that's all i could find. i grabbed the red and black stats one. also, saw this shirt? not sure if it's just talking about the rides being wild or what. homestar92, I've been every year. I just never payed too much attention but I'm hopeful for The Bat idea.haha

I didn't know it was removed each year, oops.

so, here's a big sign that something is going to happen to "Flight Deck" EDIT: terp just informed me that they remove it each year for haunt. sorry!

there isn't early ride time on sunday is there?

I'm with you on this one.

there were people screaming past the threshold of pain. Banshee will most likely not be louder than that. especially since there are so many hotels and businesses near by. and isn't there a school near by?

looks like it's for the end of the dive loop/beginning of the loop interacting with the lift hill.

I've noticed hats on clearance for it. But they also had Backlot hats.

I miss Winterfest.

200 days until opening day 2014.

I see, DB, Congo, and flight deck in the video, actually now that I'm rewatching it. Granted, I didn't see AE (probably because it's mostly in the woods), or the parking lot. Again, not trying to argue. Just pointing out what I see. DB Congo Flight Deck

Very cool!

Edited: Found my renderings post...found a nifty search tool...anyways here you go... http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?/topic/27917-Banshee-construction-progress/page-49#entry560712 Thanks, thedevariouseffect!

No disrespect, but X-Treme Flyer is in the background. Why wouldn't Slingshot be in the background? Skyflyer is probably there to provide a visual height comparison, as it's a similar height to Banshee. I think (but could be totally wrong) that the Slingshot towers are much shorter and thus probably weren't needed. That could be true! Thanks. Were you one of the people that won a VIP pass on Banshee announcement day? The one with the fanny pack? Beacuse I was the first one to get one!
