You probably won't see them on site until time for testing.

As tweeted by KI a few minutes ago, the train has arrived!

I like knowing that, but I want a picture!

I would like to catch a glimpse of them, but the webcam is wet and probably got its screen frosted.

What are you talking about? It's fine. Seriously.

Don posted a picture of the train in the truck trailer I can't figure out how to post it But they still have to be put together by the Kings Island Maintenance

She will be testing before you know it! Not much longer till opening day/media day!

So I wonder; before they do a test run, do they have to inspect them again, re-torque all the bolts and all? I would think they would, but just wondering..

Is Don using an extremely powerful lens, or are they unloading the cars way over by the Picnic Grove?

EDIT - I get it.. the workshop. Until I read what was on the sign, I was trying to figure out where near Banshee this picture was taken...

I didn't realize we'd be oriented to the side while riding this coaster!

I know, right? Maybe it's a turn-and-lock, packing configuration of some sort.

Or, maaaaybeeee.... the forward orientation in the CGI videos was just a.... diversion?

I'm curious as to the color of the 1st train

If it is anything like Griffon, the wheel components swivel and pivot 360 degrees. It was probably easier to ship them sideways.

I would love to know the price of one of those trains. My guess it would have the price tag of a very high end sports car. I'm sure it has the engineering to match, as well.

I know that the automatic censor is set pretty high, but I can't for the life of me figure out what word could possibly have been replaced here!

^I'm guessing rooster.

Term for a male chicken?

Edit : yes...a rooster.

LOL, That makes sense. So does "Ship," with a slight, albeit hilarious typo involved in the delivery?

Reminds me of when I once sent out an e-mail to the entire leadership team at the company I used to work for. The common, courteous exit salutation was "Regards." Unfortunately for me, the "g" button is pressed using the same finger as... "t".

Legendary.

I wonder who sat in it first?

Probably KIGMGreg, or KingsIslandPR?

Haha, it was supposed to be "ship." Whoops.

Why do we have two threads with the same content being posted at the same time? Does the arrival of a Banshee train not pertain to Banshee construction progress or what?

I literally cringed reading that. I think I have nightmares that go like that.

These seats don't look very "fluffy" friendly...I'm not that large of a person but I'm wondering if I'll even fit!!!!

For the community of coaster enthusiasts who are 6+ ft, I hope it will be comfortable, but with the reports already, I don't believe it will be an issue.

These seats don't look very "fluffy" friendly...I'm not that large of a person but I'm wondering if I'll even fit!!!!

The vests look small, but the top part can pull out like a seatbelt, and that's how it form-fits to the rider. As for comparisons to existing rides, here's the best I can do:

When I went to Cedar Point with my dad, he did not fit on Gatekeeper (even in row 4), but it was very, very close. Banshee uses the same restraints as Gatekeeper. On the other hand, he DID fit on Corkscrew, but by an incredibly small margin. Corkscrew uses the same restraints as Vortex.

So basically, if you can get on Vortex without too much effort, Banshee shouldn't be a problem (at least in row 4). Your mileage may vary.

I should probably clarify that row 4 has seatbelts that are about an inch to an inch and a half longer than the other rows.
