Banshee - Kings Island (B&M Inverted)

Makes sense. Still not sure how you know it is going to Kings Island from just that sticker.

a recent photo from kings island's facebook shows 3 irish themed tombstones outside the location of the concider area for the coaster
parts of these tombstones I have been able to translate and the say something about a sister a wedge as well a seeing the word Stengel and more possible clues that I can't really translate

Tomorrow is the announcement from Kings Island 's 2014 coaster, I am still thinking it will be a B&M Inverted or Wing Coaster.

Kings island announces Banshee a B&M invert with 7 inversions including a dive loop a over lift loop zero G roll batwing (Moonsault scramble style) another loop and a twist all with purple track and blue supports

That is a great name for the ride. It also looks to be an amazing ride from this POV I've found:



Note: Video isn't working for some reason and I can't figure out why. Best off to just follow the link.

SimbaEdit: Video link fixed.

Looking Good! Great layout and sounds like great pacing as well. Apparantly it won't reach it's top speed of 65mph until the second half of the layout!

Oh my god that looks amazing, so the blue transfer track supports I posted last week that I thought would be for Kings Island must be going to them I praise Cedar Fair and Kings Island for not making a Raptor clone.

I also can't believe I was correct on my earlier guess that this coaster would be called Banshee, anyway I think it suits Kings Island and an Inverted Coaster more than Cedar Point and a Wing Coaster.

Cedar Fair are really good at logos and Banshee is no exception to that rule.


The layout for Banshee is fantastic.

That CGI picture makes this ride looks amazing. It has been revealed that this ride will have the wing coaster style restraints instead of the old restraints. Should be interesting.

quite a bit of track has been delivered to kings island mostly the brake run and transfer track

The layout for Banshee looks fantastic, I really love the purple track aswell, but I am a bit undecided on the descion to use the Wing Coaster restraints and seats.
