Kings Island Adds Banshee, a B&M Invert, For The 2014 Season

Throwing out some wild guesses here.

Kings island removes Son of Beast roller coaster in the off season of 2012-2013. Huge plot of land for just about anything.



What that plot of land looks like right now. These footings look rather similar to these, don't you think?

Oh... and Cedar Fair trademarked the name Banshee.

No, I'd rather have something different but just as thrilling.

Ohioans will allow the great injustice that is naming a ride "Banshee" slip through their moral fabric this time?

Might work this time.

Ooh dear this gave me a roller-boner.

Interesting find! The clues do seem to point toward it. It would be really nice to see B&M do another Giga and see what they do with it. Hopefully it'll have a longer duration than Leviathan, even though it's really expensive. Interesting how Diamondback and Behemoth are kind of sisters and now the Gigas at the same two parks might be sisters too.

What are you guys talking about? That is clearly the foundation for a new uni*** washroom.

The land they have to work with.

That is a very big space...

I hope it's a Leviathon clone so I can laugh my ass off

I would love to see another B&M giga, I feel that a cedar fair park is not the best place for it though.

I still call Mantis "Banshee" for fun. And since in folklore the banshee was a symbol of death in the family, and a lot of my male friends call Mantis "the nutcracker," I think it's appropriate. :p

(And we jokingly call Mean Streak "The abortion coaster," so hey, Cedar Point has coasters that destroy the fertility of both genders!)

Liberals? Its the conservatives that get their undies in a bundle over religious names and demon names.

Liebrulz allow the infiltration of satan to corrupt the values of America.

It'll probably be uncreative and will suck, but, only time will tell.

Someone took a video of the blueprints.

Slightly image-edited screencap from that video:



I'm on the B&M Invert side of the debate now.

I cannot look at that. I wanna be at least somewhat surprised when it's announced.

I see atleast two vertical loops and an immelman and/or dive loop.

that just screams either inverted or wing rider

Here is the full video of the plans.

[mkingy]

Doubt it'll be a wingrider, unlikely to carry enough speed for a properly shaped loop at the end of the ride

[AyTrane]

The last loop is way down the hillside.

First drop, helix overbank, low zero g roll, overbank, loop, pretzel/batwing loop (dive loop then immelman), taller zero g roll, loop, Immelman, final turn into brakes that thread the final loop. The heartline is negative; pray it's not a pos like oz'iris.

^Really? I'm pretty sure you've got the train running in the wrong direction. The train starts in the big square, makes a left turn, lift, into a tight rightward curving drop. Then a dive loop, I'm guessing.
