World’s Longest Inverted Roller Coaster!

 

The world’s longest inverted roller coaster, “Banshee,” opens in April of 2014 at Kings Island. The first female-inspired thrill ride at a Cedar Fair Entertainment amusement park, Banshee will send riders screaming through 4124.1 feet of track and seven mind-bending inversions at speeds up to 68 miles per hour!

 

The ride layout is specially designed for Kings Island. Elements will include Curved Drop, Dive Loop, Looping interacting with the lift, Zero-G-Roll, Batwing, Outside Loop, Spiral, In-Line-Roll, and Carousel.

It's opener is almost a mirror to Oz'Iris, no B&M pre-dip and the first inversion is a dive loop.

 

Most of the TPR 2012 Europe trip participants found Oz'Iris to be a huge bore...hoping Herr Stengel (aka Mr. Forceful) has an influence on this one.

Ooooh! It has a batwing - but it's not a batwing! Awesome!

 

The only thing that I'm not feeling is the slow non-heartlined twisty thingie after the second loop, but only because it looks weird.

 

EDIT: NEW TRAINS. NEW INVERTED TRAINS. Does this mean that we'll be seeing the new seats on every B&M coaster from now on?
