Iron Wolf 90-11 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I can't wait to ride Banshee. It sounds like it will be a great ride and it looks amazing. Can't wait to see more pictures from the Media Day today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamondbacker27 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Think this is the first time I have felt MAJOR coaster anxiety. It might be because I know all of this is taking place an hour from me. Next time I visit I'm getting FLP and re riding Banshee until my face is numb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster19 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I am sorry. It is a super fun coaster. Back has a great whip!! Â Â Station pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superbatboy Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Glad to hear everyone is liking the ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster19 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 They don't tighten at all. They have so far been very comfortable. If not my favorite invert restraints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glouthan Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 And how were the restraints? Did they tighten? Â No tightening at all - they were very comfortable. Â All in all, I thought the ride was great, with some nice positive GeForces in the last half of the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Wolf 90-11 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Wow, the station looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennStater Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) Just like everyone else, nothing but a positive reaction from me about Banshee. Restraints are very comfortable as well. Â Edit: apparently my attachment from tapatalk didn't work properly... sorry about that. Edited April 17, 2014 by PennStater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarheel1231 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Thanks for the POV! Â So, how does Banshee compare to Raptor? Equal to or greater than? Equal to or less than? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster19 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I don't know if I can compare the two exactly. They are two different rides. I will say that banshee is a 100times smoother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aCoasterStory Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 ^ How would you say it compares to Montu? I figured it'd be more similar to Montu than Raptor (albeit with everything scaled way up), simply because of the sequence of elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 Thanks for the POV! So, how does Banshee compare to Raptor? Equal to or greater than? Equal to or less than? I have only taken the one ride where I was blinded by the light! lol. I then went back to the hotel and uploaded. Heading back to the park now for more rides!

rollercoasterbuff Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Robb, will you be there tonight as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Watching a few shots taken while still dark (and I imagine pretty cold) the trains (when full or riders) seem to have a fairly good pacing around the track. I can only imagine how it will be once the temperatures rise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Great video and photos. The theming of the ride area looks very nice by Cedar Fair's standards. I'm impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 ^Now it's a matter of seeing how long the fog will last (hopefully a while) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Thanks for the video! That Zero G Roll looks faster than I expected. I think Banshee goes much faster on the rider camera video. Cameron, didn't you feel cold wearing shorts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
