Did you work at SFSTL summer 2012?? My first season was 2013 and I was at American Thunder/ Moon Cars or Batman/ Turbo Bungy depending on the day. Lame... Mr. Freeze all the way! I worked freeze summer 2012. It was a blast. (No pun intended)

Did you work at SFSTL summer 2012??

That is a rare thing to say, but it looks to be true for this coaster.

Well that was a shock for me. Looks fun!!

From what I heard, the concept Paramount approached Premier (might of been the other way around, not sure) was to have the back of the cars "drift" when it went around a corner, or basically the car part of the chassis would swing out to the side. The tech apparently wasn't ready so they decided to not include it in the final coaster. Premier did end up making a concept that was shown at IAAPA 2010. Apparently the coaster was sold to a park in Abu Dhabi, but have yet to see it appear. http://www.themeparkreview.com/parks/photo.php?pageid=189&linkid=9775&pageno=5 Thank you for sharing that information. That would have added a great element to that ride. Shame it did not make it to the final round in America!

For me, at times the forum is missing or the app crashes. Yea apps usually have many bugs!

has there been an official response to why they raised this height 2 inches?? There has to be something that has changed, why would an amusement park restrict the amount of people that can ride that ride? The ridership will drop.

It looks like they have the ability to cover the trains in case it rains for something, is this true? if not, what is up with the cars?

Some people have mentioned it, but city museum is a must add. It will be crowed for Memorial Day, but just to add reassurance you will be able to ride every coaster in the day. Finally take the other advise and explore downtown of STL. There are many hidden gems (depending what you want). Forest park area is one of my favorite places. I am a fan of our zoo, it is FREE! along with science center and other museums.

That would have been amazing to have a water effect on backlot. You mentioned they were to drift, how so??

I wish I could makes these tours this year!! My goal for next year make a tour no matter what!!!!

For the people that are using the app on an iphone, are you experiencing problems every now and then with the app??

I am excited for this to fully develop. I don't know much about this program and have to do some research on everything in involvement in detail. I will say that I am getting very tired of people complaining about paying for "line skips" and that it creates a "class" system at amusement parks!

Last Year I went to Cedar Point Opening day - 10 hours, by myself This year I am going to Kings Island - 9 1/2 hours by myself I might add that you might be a coaster nerd if you decide not get a hotel but sleep in your car in the park's parking lot (yes security allowed me to do this, I got in around 3am at Cedar Point for Opening day 2013)

Question: has anyone ever used the paintball course, if so what do you think of it??

Is it just me, but I find it very funny that Hades 360 got bottom 10.

I don't know if I could have rode that coaster. How did that maintance man even hot wire the coaster??

I am super excited for Media Day for Banshee! I have never been to a Media day! Looking forward to this!

^it almost would not surprise me if they did. Both cedar point and kings island have raised their coasters incredibly fast!!!

I have never had a full gray out, but have had many slight gray outs. I found out that if I just relax I can some what cause a very small gray out. Anyways the best grey out I have gotten was at SFSTL on batman. The first vertical loop and the helix as the end. I have had a slight gray out on MF, Maverick, Ninja (SFSTL) and that is about it. Anyone ever blackout??

LOL - ok enough of that. Does anyone know where Jet Scream used to stand? If this has been answered, sorry looked for it and must have missed it.

Combining two parks would be CP and SFMM. I love the coasters of both, but still missing some good woodies. I would add Holiday World to the combo.

That is really cool. I did not know what they did or how it used to be one. Thank you for sharing. Third cars looked so uncomfortable!!

Crazy idea(s): since we now have a 500+ coaster. Lets to a 700+ foot A 145° drop on a coaster that leads into the ground before getting back to 90° Finally: A coaster that all you see is the lift hill and the rest is underground. - seems like a fun idea Does anyone know if there is a coaster that 3+ corkscrews in a row??

First coaster for me will be opening day of Banshee!
