Re: Kings Island | "Banshee" | B&M Invert
That dive loop looks pretty round to be forceless in the animation.
I honestly don't think that newer B&Ms are bad. Definitely don't feel like old ones but it's not bad. Has anybody ridden Wild Eagle in the back on the left? I rode there this season, expecting the mild, floaty ride that coaster usually provides. How wrong was I? That ride invoked more swearing out of me than my first ride on MEAN STREAK. Not out of pain or fear, but surprise! It was my first time experiencing the stapling but MAN! I found it more intense than Apollo's Chariot! I was very pleasantly surprised with that run until I got nailed into my restraint. It felt very different than, say, Afterburn, but the forces were still there. The sped at which they fluctuated was significantly lower , but it felt just as intense. I couldn't keep my hands up going around te eight curve. I imagine similar forces would have to be present SOMEWHERE on Banshee.
I also said this on another site, but could this be programmed like GateKeeper in that once the train is fully on the chain, it kicks up the speed? I didn't notice it on Wild Eagle but I noticed it on GateKeeper.
Can't wait to see the actual ride go up!
