tarheel1231 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I don't know if it was suggested on this forum, but I'd like to see an audio banshee scream during the ride (sort of like how the Intimidators say "start your engines" and how Beast plays the ominous music on the lift hills).

ArizonaGuy Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 The Banshee scream would be cool right at the first drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggernel Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Something you could hear from the nearest pathway. That would be wicked at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geauga Dog Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 ...how Beast plays the ominous music on the lift hills). That is the one thing I hate on Beast. I wish they'd get rid of those speakers and the annoying music as I feel it takes away from the ride (I know it's just on the lift but I'd rather hear the classic sound of the anti-rollbacks over the music). Too bad B&M lifts are loud as I'd think the banshee scream would be cool right as the train disengages from the lift, making it sound like the banshee has taken control of the train.

triggernel Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 New B&M lifts are almost silent... The spring loaded chain dogs take away any noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArizonaGuy Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Yeh I'd say B&M lifts are pretty silent. The scream when the train disengages from the lift would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koasterking48 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I'd love to have the Banshee screech right at the first drop. It reminds me of the Legend's howl right before the first drop, which is a pretty nice effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B&MBoy1982 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 May not hear the Banshee scream over the people on the train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArizonaGuy Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 ^^ I'd say that depends on what type of speakers are being used and where they're located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonsaiisuperstar Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I love the Beast music on the lift. "PLEASE KEEP HANDS INSIDE THE CAR AT ALL TIMES, REMAIN SEATED AT ALL TIMES!" and then the ding, ding, ding ding ding nutcracker music haha.

Seddy Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Banshee is looking great. Looks like imma be heading to Kings Island this year. I think they should play a scream when the train is dispatched, something similar to that dark - epic tune that plays when they dispatch a train at Batman the Ride at SFOG. There will more than likely be speakers on the lift so maybe some eerie type music will play as you're going up. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

SFOGdude25 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Lots of snow dumped on Kings Island last night and this morning. Here's a look at the batwing construction progress at ground level from KI's Twitter! Hopefully Banshee will be flying through here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.A.B Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I am so happy that Banshee is going up fast. Also I'm happy that I live so close to Kings Island. Can't wait for it to open! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 So are they really going to leave the second half of the batwing for last? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invertalon Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Now it may just be perspective, but I am a bit disappointed with the lack of "snap" into both the dive loop and batwing... On the batwing especially, as the transition looks painfully "sterile" and linear in terms of the roll if that makes sense. I have a feeling it will be very floaty, versus having any aggressive quality to it. I know the B&M inverts have been getting less and less aggressive, but I was hoping there would be some exceptions in the design. This is coming from a big fan of Silver Bullet, so I am not expected Raptor or Batman the Ride type stuff here! I don't like to judge before I ride, but you can generally get a good idea of what a ride may feel like before-hand. I hope it exceeds my expectations though, as B&M inverts are my favorite rides. I hope it is just a perspective thing though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
