No disrespect, but X-Treme Flyer is in the background. Why wouldn't Slingshot be in the background?

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 But I would like to understand why it's not in the renderings.

Someone find my post about all the fallacies I found in the renderings...I have no clue where it is after doing a search for it.. I can't believe this is still being brought up Again, my apologies. I was unaware that that had been pointed out before. I just noticed it recently.

I'll have to give it a try next Saturday. My eleven years with a gold pass I've only ever ridden front seat, unless assigned some place else.

He was referring to our KIC nametags that malem created that had our guesses circled on them. He was indeed correct that nobody had all six items on the nametag (attraction type, name manufacturer, model, height, and number of inversions) correct. Thank you, jcgoble3, I was unaware. My apologies.

*expect and what do you mean?

elyk, I do realize that. I was just pointing out a fact: [slingshot]..."can not be seen from any image renderings or video renderings..." of Banshee.

Again, Don is the PR. He needs to be a step ahead of us. I feel like if there were any rumors about anything he's going to turn them down until the last moment. Just like he did the day of the Banshee announcement, during the construction tour. When someone asked "Is anyone close to guessing what the ride is." and he said "Not even close." When we all saw the blueprints, knew the name, and knew it was inverted.

He also said that nobody was right about Banshee during the tour the day of the announcement. But 90% of us were.

KI Man, how'd you get a tour yesterday?

There are rumors of Slingshot being removed though since it can not be seen from any image renderings or video renderings. I hope it's true.

When my girlfriend and I got to the park I immediately signed up for the "Scream like a Banshee" contest and got "007." haha. We then went to Club Blood and was let in as soon as we got there. We then went to Wolf Pack, Slaughter House, Delta Delta Die, Board 2 Death, Urgent Scare, and Cavern Terror with zero wait time and did them all by 7:15. We then made our way over to Action Zone for the contest. I didn't win, but I did 129 Db and got a free shirt! After that we went over to Corn Stalkers and waited about ten minutes. Carnevil was our longest wait at about 15-20 minutes. It was worth it and I strongly advise the $1 3D glasses because they enhanced the trippiness. Especially in the tunnel. We then made our way to Holiday Horror and then Tombstone Terror-Tory. We completed all haunted attractions by 9 o'clock. Including the Banshee contest. After Terror-Tory, we rode Diamondback (front seat), we were on it in 15 minutes and then Vortex (5-1 for the first time and definitely not the last) we were on it in 10-15 minutes. We then headed over to Action Zone to take a swing on Delirium before Ed Alonzo's Psycho Circus (which was very funny and ruined Ed Alonzo's "The Max" character for my girlfriend due to the raunchiness. haha). After Ed Alonzo we rode Diamondback again (this time in row 15, amazing airtime). We went over to The Beast and half way through the line there were technical difficulties, we waited 15 minutes. We decided that we'd ride Vortex (in 5-1 again.haha.) and come back. While on The Vortex I saw that a train from The Beast was stuck a quarter way up the hill, so I'm not sure what happened. After Vortex it was 12:45, so after seeing The Beast stuck we decided to ride Flight of Fear (front row). We got the last train and ALL the lights were off, which was a new experience for me. We ended the night with Dippin' Dots. So overall good day! Plus my 10th trip this season, which is pretty good since I live two hours away! And I'll be adding at least 3 more trips this month! I'll leave you guys with a shot of Slingshot and Banshee I took from my phone.

same for backseat of Diamondback. word of advice: DO NOT neglect any seat.

I just want to say thanks to everyone who said to ride Vortex in 5-1. Best ride experience ever on Vortex. I also just realized that the ride was designed around that seat.

Unrelated to Haunt Maps, I also want to know if anyone knows if KI will ever do souvenir maps again? I have one from their 35th anniversary but haven't seen any since. I grabbed a Cedar Point one for $.99 just last weekend.

Thank you!

I looked on Kings Islands website to try to find a Haunt map and I couldn't find one. If someone has one would you care to either take a picture or scan it for me? I want to plan my trips for this month. Thanks! Unrelated to Haunt Maps, I also want to know if anyone knows if KI will ever do souvenir maps again?

They're installing another piece of track.

the Banshee cam looks eerie right now. i love it.

seems like only yesterday that the transfer track was installed.they grow up so fast.:')

@KingsIslandPR: Video: Workmen install column No. 7 for the lift hill on the new Banshee roller coaster. http://t.co/FEWtYpccBu

"@KingsIslandPR: Column #7 for the Banshee lift hill will be going up this afternoon."

That's how I imagined it, RailRider.

I believe this topic is "Banshee Contruction Progress" not "What do you want to happen to KI in the next few years?" lol

I don't understand why everyone thinks that Vortex is going to be taken down.
