    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

Like others have mentioned, the activity going on next to Delirium is nothing more than access roads.

Whatever the name is, I am going to hear Pat Carroll's voice in my head delivering the safety rules.

Could you just imagine? I would LOVE to hear her voice coming out of the speakers at Banshee!

Am I the only one who instantly recognized her as the voice of Grandma from the two Garfield holiday TV specials? :P

Something new has shown up on Google Maps, "Maps" being the key word there.

It's about time Google responded to my report.

That's the new Google Maps. If you're like me and still use the old version, it is still SOB. The new maps use the exact same imagery as Earth, so it makes sense it would be updated on those ones.

^^yeah Banshee does look purple on there, and the AZ circle shown is obviously no longer there.

But in Google Earth, when you go to the "street view" from inside the park you still see Son of Beast. Those have not been updated yet...and it may be awhile before they are.

Keep in mind how many people per hour the ride will be able to run through. You may not need a huge area for the line.

That is true. But do you think it could hold the Opening Day crowd? What about the giant over crowded Saturday on opening weekend?

The line for opening day will be obscene just like the for Diamondback was. After that it should be enough room

The park might also be thinking ahead for future use of their queue lines. How many times a year do you see many sections of Diamondback's and The Beast's queue open and used. Same with Flight of Fear that may only use sections once a year or once every few years and for The Bat they just had to remove a section of queue that hasn't been used in almost two decades. If the park makes an entire section of queue that will most likely only be used for one time in it's entire existence as a ride seems ridiculous.

The park has not opened at noon on opening day in recent memory, and certainly not under current management. What time the parking lot will open is only a subject for conjecture until it is announced. Even then, plans can change.

I imagine parking lots would open around 10:00am on opening day. Just thinking of the traffic jam opening day may have makes me want to rent a hotel near KI and just walk.

But, you have to be 18+ to rent a hotel.

I would say the overflow could use Wolf Pack's queue line down near The Bat, but not through the maze, unless its been cleared for use.

I know I'm a little late to this but here is an idea for Banshee's name ---Dottie (just look up the movie Armageddon on IMDB and look through the quotes).

Later,

Mark

We'll be doing this exact thing except not walking. There's a shuttle from the hotel that we are staying at.

^Oh, well, sounds like you are staying across the street. We are too. Do you know if that shuttle will run through closing the park?

Certain background colors can affect hue perception...

Slightly off topic but just saw Kings Island in the Reds Opening Day Parade. Thought it was cool.

EDIT: Three cheers for the three Banshee trains! Hip Hip, HOORAY!
