rcjp Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Looks great! The bottom of the drop will have to pull some Gs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 The first drop looks phenomenal. Very tight, very close to the ground. Â Does anyone think there is a possibility of being more themeing than lead on in the previews? I hope so, but it not, it still won't make me any less excited. Â Â In the animations there are random tomb stones along the course. I really hope they put those in and it was not simply for the animations.

prozach626 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I saw those, but I was thinking more along the lines of foot choppers, tunnels, etc. I know it's highly unlikely, since they weren't in the preview, but it would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarmor Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 But...are they there for haunt? I don't think any theme elements would show up this early... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2012jarrett Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Looking at the webcam, it really seems to be pouring over there. I'm an hour north and it's pouring here too. I've never followed construction via webcam before, does rain usually affect it? I haven't seen any noticeable progress made at all today. Though if it's unsafe to work in these conditions, I wouldn't want them to. Â I really think the drop, zero-g roll, batwing, second loop, and helix will be pretty forceful. Can't wait to see that dive loop go up! Â And about the theming, I really think that they'll add just the gravestones, nothing else. Gravestones and that awesome station should be all it needs, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 There are a few tombstones that showed up before the steel arrived teasing us with Galic quotes and names of those involved in the project.That banshee figure that just showed up looks like it is made of cloth, I doubt it's permanent. Like a previous poster said it is a bit early to put up theming around the superstructure at this time, but the animation showed some near misses with jagged tombstones where the track comes close to the ground. We have seen additional theming added to Cedar Fair coasters recently. I am hoping this is the case with Banshee. A surprise tunnel would be nice, like the one added to Leviathan.

rcjp Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 It's like ant anti-silver bullet drop in terms of steepness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrapesLie Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Looks sexy. But will it rock my world or just shoot me in the heart with a Silver Bullet!? Ehh ehh see what I did there! Okay not that funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UrbanLegend Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I still cannot get over the lack of pre-drop. But I suppose that we wouldn't have as awesome-looking of a drop if it was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alilstronger Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 This thing is going up fast! Six Flags could really learn a lot from this. Â The coaster looks beautiful so far. I am liking the colors and that drop looks awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 A surprise tunnel would be nice, like the one added to Leviathan. Â Definitely. That's what I'm hoping for. Or at least some kind of trench, as commonly seen on inverts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKI Jizzman Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 im gona get the fast pass plus this weekend on saturday ;how does the fast pass work ? You're asking the same thing every time. Check out the website for detailed information if you're going to buy it rather than buying it first then asking people how it works. You get the fast lane and you skip the line. It's pretty simple.

prozach626 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 im gona get the fast pass plus this weekend on saturday ;how does the fast pass work ?

Â Please do not ask the same question over and over. That is at least the third time you asked the same question in the last couple of weeks. Also, you really need to work on your posts.

Skramp Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 It looks like that first drop is going to send you screaming like a crazy woman right from the start!! Â Â Also, isn't it traditional for a flag to be placed on top of the highest point of iron work when it's put in place? If so does that mean the peak of the lift hill isn't the highest point of the rollercoaster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 The second half of the Coaster is at a lower grade, so perhaps the Batwing is the highest point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFJorts Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Unless there is a launch or a second lift, there is no higher point than the top of the lift hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B&MIntaminGCI Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I thought they just put the flags on the final piece of track they install... Â That's what they did on Swarm, Heide Parks Wing Coaster, the China Wing Coaster and a few others I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
