Sarcasm is sometimes hard to pick up through text. I do believe that was sarcasm though, especially given the follow up post they made.

Every single button in controls is pushed in random orders,

I want to be that guy! My official title is "Random button pusher guy", here's my card.

That job would be very interesting to see on a resume. Here's an example:

-Walmart Clerk

-McDonald's worker

-Kings Island Ride Operations

-Kings Island Random Button Pusher

-Tour Guide

I could very much picture this.

Well some of us could already be pushing Kings Island's buttons.

I love how people over exaggerate and worry over the simplest things. Devarious is right on. All systems have to be checked. So if something is not right it can be corrected. So what if it breaks. I'd rather an issue come up during testing, and not during a public ride. So go get some chamomile tea and relax. Banshee will be ok.

Like when The Bat slows down on the lift hill! So many people think it has broken down. Someone told KI on the Facebook page that they needed to fix the lift...LOL

Also heard another guy say as we were creeping up the first lift on Beast, "This is why it's the longest wooden coaster, because it takes so long to go up the hill."

And to the person who quoted what B&M said about their coasters making it on the first time, then asking to explain Raptor. He said that it would make it the "First time." He didn't say anything about any other time!

I know its not broke, but what is the reason Bat (formerly known as Flight Deck/Top Gun) slows down on the lift hill? Is it just the weight of the train?

The control system slows the lift down so the other train will be completely off the final brakes before the train on the lift crests the lift. It's a safety feature.

For further evidence, you will notice that the lift does not slow down when there's only one train running.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

BEST. COMMENT. EVER!

Sorry, but that was really funny coming from someone with over 2,000 posts.

It never used to it, they reprogrammed it to control the speed of the train into the station. In doing this the train takes longer to enter the station from the final brake run.

^ a little rude, don't you think? Since when does number of posts have any correlation to roller coaster technology knowledge?

Post count does not equal ride intelligence..See Pointbuzz..etc..

Some think we can stop trains on loops...hit stop, it stops..

Sigh

Some people think they know everything.

Hey I am the very first one on here to admit that my knowledge of rides and ride operations ends somewhere between physics and the mechanical part. Thanks for the wonderful job at bringing me back down to earth...

I know that when you hit stop it has to slow down first then stop! Like ice right? Because there are little brakes all over the train right? (sarcasm)

I am curious, does this phenomenon occur on Vortex at CW since it is very similar to The Bat, or does the slightly taller lift hill prevent the slowdown from being necessary?

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.

Have you gotten to ride it yet, Don?

New name, new style... same profile pic.

Glad you're back!

There's a bunch of shiny headed white people in the world, how do we know he's the one

Great to see you back! It felt like something was missing from the forums while you were gone.

So much testing and cycles..I cant even tell you how many tests I saw for WindSeeker once she was finally done. Start, stop, start, stop, start, stop..And no it wasn't stuck, they did it that way

Guess they never took it out of testing mode...

Now that's pretty funny..

I will say as much as it's reliability isn't up to my expectations, it is probably the best night show ride out of the park. Sky Screamers..little blinky lights on your butt that's it

This is more exciting than the Return of the McRib.

The lighting package is undoubtedly the best feature of that ride. I prefer Millennium and Giant Wheel's lighting packages, however.

Oh now especially, however in 2011, sadly it was the best lit ride in the park. Currently though, Giant Wheel is just brilliant

Now that Don is back maybe, just maybe, if we're really really nice we can get him to post a good long video of Banshee testing. Please?

Blinky lights on my butt is a scary thought. Last thing this world needs is to see that! Lol

POV will be available ... to everyone that rides Banshee.

Don, glad to see you back on the forums buddy!

Aww you're killing me here. It was worth a shot though.
