  1. Just got back from media day and was really pleasantly surprised with Banshee! It's smooth, comfortable, and just really really fun! Being in a rush to get out of my house this morning I forgot to take my good camera to get pictures, but it looks terrific! Themeing looks great, a little too much on the fog by the Banshee sign but who cares, it looks great! Kings Island has got a real winner with Banshee!

     

    Yea I forgot my good camera also, been taking these on my phone all day!:)

  2. People are really starting to suck the fun out of following the development of this coaster by being so critical of B&M. There's a fine line between healthy conversation and an over abundance of negative criticism on a coaster that none of us have ridden, yet.

     

    If this B&M doesn't have enough forces for KI fans, SFSTL fans will gladly trade you our used boomerang and our aqua twist for Banshee.

     

    Fun coaster will be fun, even if it doesn't suck your eyes into the back of your skull. Quit being coaster snobs. It's pretty lame.

     

    I 100% agree wht you. Many people are not thrilled with SFSTL's addiction this year. I was glad to see us get a coaster last year, but not one that is 27+ years old.

  3. Where was lighting runs track made??

     

    More than likely at Chance's manufacturing plant in Kansas. They're more than capable of making it there since they manufactured a few of the Vekoma coasters during the partnership they had a couple years ago. You can actually check out this satellite view of their factory and see familiar yellow track and a big blue support waiting on a flatbed if you go south a bit on the map. More than likely that's track for Freedom Flyer.

    I didn't realize how many parts and pieces they keep on site for their rides. Looks like they have quite the property there and from what I can spot, parts for a gondola wheel.

     

    That is awesome! That means that when I was traveling on I70 I most Likely saw track for Lightning run heading there! That is to cool, that is the first time that I have seen that happen!:)
