Thanks for the video! That Zero G Roll looks faster than I expected. I think Banshee goes much faster on the rider camera video.

I also noticed that (probably due to all the riders). And it was still dark (which means colder)!

[Diamondbacker27]

Are the tombstones placed thorough out the ride?

[thepoint4life23]

sounds like people like it better then gatekeeper last year.

[GrapesLie]

Wow! Looks fantastic! I can't wait to ride this in June!

[DBru]

You all are driving my excitement through the roof! Opening day tomorrow is going to be a blast!

 

Incredibly impressed with that station interior.

[GrapesLie]

For anyone who is missing it because of this excitement they have just posted a POV of HELIX!

[Coaster19]

I love this ride so much! It is simple fun and thrill.

[Diamondbacker27]

Can someone get pictures of theming, delirium, and just Action Zone overall? If you wouldn't mind. That would be great!

Also, are they operating any other rides?

[coasterbill]

Based on the webcams the Bat is running, but I'm not sure if it's running with riders or not.

[Coaster19]

I will get some better photos of action zone and the theming. They are just starting the opening speeches. Don't know about other rides yet

Ok I love this thing! Way more intense than I was expecting! Every time I was near the ground I felt like a pancake... Very very fun!

[firewalk13]

Also the theming is very nice, mmmm fog....

[DoinItForTheFame]

I can not wait for July.... This coaster looks simply amazing. I can't wait to try it out for myself!

[Coaster19]

 

Here are some. I will get better soon!!

[Diamondbacker27]

WOW Action Zone is making a huge comeback

[Coaster19]

I love the shaded area.

[Diamondbacker27]

Me to, I thought it was going to look awful until I saw those pictures.

And my, what a steep drop!!!

[Coaster19]

Bat, sky flyer, delirium are open!

[GrapesLie]

Anybody see it there is any awesome new BAT Merchandise?

Thanks to everyone for the early reviews and photos. Thank you, Robb, for posting the POV and your on-ride review. I think it's been awhile since I've seen Robb give a big thumbs up for a B&M.

 

Don't know how I'll make it through the rest of the day as now I'm super pumped to ride Banshee.

[rollercoasterbuff]

Keep these photos coming guys! Loving seeing all of them!

[Intimidator305]

Not only does the ride look impressive, but the revitalization and theming of the ride and the rest of Action Zone looks great. Thanks to everyone for the updates!

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!
