Banshee Construction Progress

Featured Replies

Hush y'all! I want it to be Banshee's Under-station so that On-Location can be repurposed as the queue for a set of Flying Scooters! :D

    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

I wish we knew what was being done with that circle!

Whatever it will be, it looks now apparent that it will have three places to walk through to get into the circle.

^ My guess is that it will be the former On-Location. If it was under the Banshee station, they might have called it something like "Banshee Connection", or "Scream Seekers".

I agree with you on that, As the On-Location Sign was removed.

(responding to Gplez's post with the picture of the new Backlot cars)

Personally, I think those new cars look awesome and although it's not my favorite KI coaster, I'd be more inclined to give it another whirl if those new cars are in fact going to KI :D

Speaking of lights, a shop is open down there across from AE it looks like? Hmm

If you are referring to the lights at the Coney Confections store, they are left on every night.

Why leave them on in the offseason? Seems like a great way to throw away money with their electric bill.

Though I'm sure when compared to building a $20+ Million coaster, powering a few lights for a few months is laughably cheap.

In reference to the picture of Backlot coaster up in Canada... KI's Backlot trains already had a good amount of fiberglass work done to them a few years ago to try and distance itself from the Italian Job theme.

Security reason I am sure.

AZ Kinda Guy: Did Wonderland's BLSC not receive the same change at that time? I know I saw pictures of the new fiberglass at Kings Dominion, but I don't know about Wonderland.

With regards to the Action Zone circle, by the looks of the latest webcam picture, one would assume they will be adding planters to that area. Some nice flowers and bushes would really spice that area up.

^^ you think so? I prefer the mysterious spotlights currently in that building. I just hope they don't put anything in the former circle that blocks most of it off, the traffic would be unimaginable.

Wonderland's trains changed when KI's and KD's did. They were also red, white, and blue. Not sure why the Facebook "fans" are making a big deal of it, they look like the same fiberglass bodies with slightly more sparkly paint.

Again, the fact that Kings Island is pretty much saying that Banshee's night experience will be better than The Beast's night experience is saying A LOT! The Beast is hands down the best night ride experience I've ever had, so i have incredibly high expectations for Banshee. A night ride on The Beast is almost impossible to top, but i would love to see any ride try. None-the-less I'm sure a night ride on Banshee is going to be an incredible experience.

I wonder if for the textured lighting a Banshee may be drawn at the bottom of the drop or onto some fog...

^ That would explain the concrete under the first drop and (I believe this is correct) under the loop through the lift hill. ;)

Maybe something like this will be projected on the station and elsewhere within the zone.

Drove by KI tonight. The lights on Banshee appear to be LEDs based on their brightness/how pure the white-ish blue light looked. I liked it.

I gave credit to the poster of it...

Typing "I found this while looking at TPR." isn't really giving proper credit.

It is also incongruent with what Don asked in post #4625 of this thread.

For me, in order for Banshee to surpass Beast at night, it better be lit like this.

This is Heide Park's wing coaster, Flug der Damonen, and it's lighting package.
