The Banshee rollercoaster at Kings Island, Kings island, Ohio

Next up for my quick sprint around Kings Island is Banshee.

The Banshee Rollercoaster at Kings Island, Kings island, Ohio

Banshee is a inverted coaster that opened at the park in 2014.

Banshee is one of the best if not the best inverted coaster that Bolliger & Mabillard.  It all starts out with a nice spiraling drop.

Banshee has seven inversions including a dive loop, a normal loop, a zero g roll, a pretzel knot, another loop, followed by an in line twist.

What makes Banshee great is that the second half of the ride is downhill from the first half so just as Banshee is starting to loose steam you drop downhill gaining more speed.  Banshee doesn't let up until it hits the brakes.
