    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

February, at the latest.

With 25 more track sections to go, and the last one arriving on sight tomorrow, I'm going to guess 2/6. Barring any long weather delays of course.

Dont know If im right or wrong, But does it look like AE Sign Is Freshly Painted?

It does look brighter and clearer than I remember it from earlier views.

at the bottom of the original camera on the left hand side. there has been some serious digging going on there

There used to be a bridge to the biergarten located there, and later on a RC boat game was there...Looks like the fence is gone, Good catch.

That sign for Adventure Express was freshly painted for last season. It appears that they are working on the little dock area next to the lake that used to have the remote control boats on them. I wonder if they are going to be replacing the pavement and curbs in Action Zone and generally doing a sprucing up, much like they did with Rivertown in 2009.

^^^They are rigging the top of the vertical loop just behind the batzel. Looks like the orange and yellow lift has also moved into place for the final lift of the loop.

Alright, So Diamondback`s Last Piece of track was Jan 26th. Do you think Banshee Can beat that?

I wonder what it looks like from Adventure Express now..

Also, I looked back at the cam pictures from awhile ago and the Adventure Express sign looks just as "fresh" as it does in your above photo.

However, the fence by the pond is definitely gone lol

It looks like they are taking pavers out....might just be taking the path out because it leads to a dead end with out the bridge.

"While the construction of Banshee heads down the stretch, the park is preparing for the arrival of the trains. The trains are coming from Switzerland, and they could be on property by the end of the month."

New for 2014: Free swimming lessons in the Oktoberfest pond!

Going by past events; I'll skip the swim lessons.

Final piece of the last loop being installed as we speak.

Edit - I somehow missed Upstop's post.

on my lunch break at work and just had to get on to view the camera.... haven't viewed it in so long.... man, that is one beautiful massive coaster!!! I can't wait!! :D final vertical loop is complete now :) I'm so excited to ride this coaster. Opening day 2014 needs to hurry up!!!

It looks like the On Location sign has been removed. Most likely getting renamed.

EDIT: Never Mind, just a shadow.

That looks amazing. I think this is going to be even better than I imagined from the announcement. The video looked amazing. Hearing the stats sounded amazing. Seeing it though - WOW!

For those of you not on Instagram, Kings Island posted three photos today, one of the Banshee station, one of the loop (not topped off), and one of them digging. Here's the photo of the station so far:

The station is going to look great! In one of the pictures it appears as if they're doing more landscaping under the low passing areas.
