The new for 2014 Banshee Inverted Rollercoaster Media Day at Kings Island, Kings island, Ohio

Once dispatched it is a very fast climb to the top of Banshee's 167 foot tall lift hill.

Banshee's second inversion wraps around the lift hill for a neat visual as you are heading up.  At the top of the lift hill the last thing you hear before whipping over the crest and plummeting one hundred and fifty feet Earthward is the wail of a Banshee.

Most B&M Inverted Coasters kind of crawl over the crest of their lift hills so I wasn't expecting as good a drop as Banshee has.   It was a wonderful start to a ride that certainly made an impression on me.

Beyond the lift Banshee just flies and it is just pure bliss all the way through her 4,124 feet of track.

You have the Earth beneath your feet one second and the next there is nothing but blue sky beneath them as Banshee is always sending you through a new twist, turn, dive or loop.
