Banshee Construction Progress

Featured Replies

And if you want to be among the first in the general public to ride it, be there on opening day. Who knows? Perhaps it will be an ERT ride. If so, you can get a gold pass and show up early. ERT crowds are generally light. HOWEVER, if a new coaster is to be opened AND it is ERT, then expect record-breaking ERT crowds.

    We did not mention all the statistics during the announcement because statistics are not what make a roller coaster great; it's the ride experience it delivers that makes it great.

  • It's good to see me, isn't it? No need to respond! That was rhetorical. Under 30 days until Banshee makes its public debut! We can't wait for you to come out and experience this ride.

    We have guests that are more excited about our live shows than our roller coasters, that visit the park specifically for the shows. For these guests, the Cirque Imagine announcement was as exciting as

CoasterBuzz members were invited for Gatekeeper's Media Day, so I would imagine they would be invited to Banshee's as well if Cedar Fair decides to invite coaster clubs.

At the Sept. 8th KIC day Don mentioned those coaster clubs that have a paid membership will most likely be invited to Banshee Media Day :)

I imagine some people whose names are on gravestones will be invited from this site of our own!

EDIT: least, I think it'd be cool if that happened.

Has Kings Island announced when Media Day will be yet? I know it's only October, but I thought maybe I missed something.

If I'm not mistaken, Terpy and BoddaH1994 will forever be constituted into Banshee's theming per the gravestones. I personally think that is awesome! It will truly symbolize KIC's long-standing and close relationship with the park. Are most other parks' fansites as loyal as we are? I'd think not. Makes me appreciate the value of being part of such a great community... :)

Really like how fast Banshee is coming together! I know we have what 6 months until she opens up but, I'm excited. Hope KI themes Banshee well!

^ Great photos! Thanks for sharing.

On an unrelated note, I wonder if the park has considered moving the Banshee cam or adding a second webcam. I like the current view and am thankful the park has a webcam for construction, but it would be neat to see some of the finer details, too. I imagine the tops of the Ice Scream Zone, Son of Beast's station, or the Delirium operator booth would have good views.

How about on SOB's old station? but only if a different camera is put there. I'd rather the current one stay where it is, still.

True, I hadn't considered that. I suppose a second one would be more desirable to me, then. :)

I'd like it if that were to happen.

On account of the color of Banshee, as we drove past Kings Island, I had said, mom look at the new coaster they are building. She replied with, oh that red one?

Off topic but does anyone know what roller coaster is pictured in the Halloween Haunt KI video?

Thanks BeastForever :)

Webcams can only be placed where there is an accessible power source. I doubt there is one on top of a random building near the construction sight.

^ So how do Ice Scream Zone's lights and ice cream machines, Wolf Pack's props, and Delirium's control panel and lights work?

^^All three of those structures/buildings have power that runs to them, there should be an available power source. I feel like if they have a camera on the top of Dragster, it shouldn't be too hard to install one at any of the positions TombRaiderFTW suggested.

***I was beaten by mere seconds. haha

I'm not sure those could be safe and easy to tap into for power. At least, probably not on top of Ice Scream Zone and WP. But hey, I know very little about electricity and how those buildings were set up.

EDIT: Come to think of it, I seem to remember Cedar Point putting a webcam for GK atop maXair. Maybe we could use Delirium?

I went to ki today, the ride looks amazing and it is able to be seen from intersate, sky line of ki is so different. With the clouds and rain to day the tracks actually looked purple, and saw a guy get arrestted at the front gate, he was running for the gate and i looked up in time to see him get tackled, then he was begging not to get arrested and was crying

I remember someone requesting what the skyline looks like with Banshee Here ya go, I forget who it was though.

That was me! I love the picture, thanks! I drove past KI today on the way to Ren fest. Banshee is quite impressive in person!

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

With my 200mm lens. I can be anywhere.
