I'm not sure if anyone's posted this pic yet or not I don't remember seeing it anywhere.

Question for larger B&M invert enthusiasts. The large protrusions on top, are those just friction brakes or are those magnetic brakes too. Also the smaller four in the center? I'm guessing those are the magnetic brakes?

Not too sure honestly

I know that there are other inverts that run magnetic brakes, so I would assume Banshee would too

Our ride is magenta..

Just observing.

Why would there be smaller brakes though? Hmm, puzzling

I will say I do love the colors. I would have liked to pay homeage to Mantis/Bansee and have a similar color scheme, but I'll take this, it's still awesome

I think the colors aren't dark enough, but that's just me.

Webcam on website (1:51 8/12/2013) Looks like they are starting to dig the footers for the station.

Fun fact that is a little off topic:

Gold Striker and Leviathan didn't have any tunnels in their animations either.

Just some food for thought.

Because neither one of those coasters were designed to have tunnels on them at first.

The brake that is the highest off the track (first brake to the right) is a magnetic one. The rest are friction brakes. There are also one or two more magnetic brakes behind the blue transfer track piece.

Because neither one of those coasters were designed to have tunnels on them at first.

But what I was getting at is that we may yet end up with tunnels.

*crosses fingers*

They are not digging footings for the station just yet. But soon though, footings will be taking shape.

My college's colors are Black and Magenta.

I'm glad this didn't get black supports now that I think of that. Otherwise I'd end up calling it "The Muskie Coaster"

The Track almost looks red. Needs a darker coat of paint. :/

Send in the cranes!

There ought to be cranes!

And then it's next year!

Thank you, Terpy, for bringing a sense of nostalgia back to the site!

All these pictures of Trailers makes me think of my home away from home during the Diamondback construction...

Banshee is really coming along nicely. I'm super excited! I want to be first rider.

I'm curious...wondering where KI got the sound of Banshee

They told YoungStud it wasn't an Intamin Giga, and that was the outcome.

Those colors are going to look boss in the skyline. Imagine pulling up to the gate and seeing that with the contrast of Invertigo.

is this in the back lot ?

It's in the front. Same place it was Thursday when I drove past.

I have heard from a interview from don!

-The entrance will be right by the bathroom in Az

- steel should arrive this week!

- should be done by end of February

-4th row on each train will be for accommodate bigger guest

What if your a smaller guest.

Looks nothing close to red, to be honest.

What if your a smaller guest.

U have the reaming rows! It's like Gatekeeper

Man does that batwing look pretty darn cool. Im used to Montu's batwing inversion, but Banshees is a whole new different kind of batwing. I dig it!

I know they are going to call it a batwing, but its really a Norwegian Loop. A Dive loop into an immelman. But if I was in marketing, I'd probably call it a batwing too. lol

Just checked the webcam, and looks like Banshee has arrived at the park. Wahoo!!!

Edit: removed webcam image of Banshee construction site.
