@@zachcurry8392 There must have been something weird going on with the RUclips app when I replied to your comment.

Someone else liked my comment, so apparently I wasn't the only one. lol
Dude I was on this coaster maybe one week before this happened. The Banshee is a monster imo. Can't imagine risking life trying to retrieve your keys maybe being in a hurry, but that wasn't worth it.
The best thing to do it to let park staff know and they will look for/retrieve them after closing time so you can pick them up later. That guy really didn’t have common sense jfc. Sure I can imagine the inconvenience but it ain’t worth risking one’s life huh
Just rode it today, it was probably my favorite ride. It was nice, fast, and the inversions were awesome. I'd say definitely try it even if it seems intimidating, it looks WAY scarier than it is.
If you’re a beginner to coasters and need to get over your fear, this is the ride to go to! The hill will get your stomach, but it’s a regular feeling to get over. However, the loops may seem scary but they are very fun and the view is awesome!
I rode this for the first time a couple of days ago. It was absolutely incredible. It helped me with my fear of roller coasters - after this, I knew I could ride anything in that park!
sorry if this is an odd question but was there any moments where you hit your head a little or felt like you might? i’m questioning going on it but i might not if that’s the case
@@justleorio nope! Out of all of the coasters, this rollercoaster definitely has the most secure seats. There’s this foam-like material that holds you back, so you don’t hit your head on the seat when riding it. I’m pretty claustrophobic and it triggers my claustrophobia sometimes, but it’s worth it!! The ride is super smooth and comfortable unlike a lot of the older, wooden coasters like the beast, the racer, and Mystic Timber. It definitely adds to the experience!! Hope this helps!
This coaster is AMAZING.. just conquered my hesitance on doing big coaster (hyper and inverted) yesterday.. IT WAS A TOTAL BLAST.. i normally am like "Yay!" when i get some air or speed or whatever.. On this I was like HELL YEAH!!!!! multiple times and even when it was over.. like F..YEAH!!!
The best B&M invert in my opinion. Beats Montu and Alpengeist at 2 and 3. I put Raptor at no. 4. I hear the Batman clone at Six Flags Over Georgia is awesome.
just rode this with my daughter on her 8th birthday today… i shouldn’t be surprised she had the guts and now i have a legit coaster buddy. amazing day!!!
Love this ride, speed is perfect, seats are comfortable and overall amazing. 👏 This along with the bat are my fav rides. I'm not even a fan of roller coasters but this def is great. Highly recommended
I was terrified of this roller coaster but I rode it barefoot with my dad, it was so fun we rode it three times in a row lol. I love this one, definitely my favorite :) If you ever get the chance to ride it do it!
@@travisscottmeal5509 alright, cool. But I’m not sure how I’ll feel going down the first drop to me it seems terrifying. But once I get down the first couple hills I should be alright.
@@kingjames-412 nope...lived in Toledo 40 years ..been to cedar point a million times but never been to Kings island...thinking of going so I'm looking at all the rides on RUclips
i went to kings island with my sister and friends yesterday and they convinced me to go on this. it was my first roller coaster i’ve ever rode and i straight faced it and couldn’t say a word because i started panicking so bad😭 when i went on other rides i’d just have to pretend i was on an airplane with the window open till i got used to em. memorable
So the back seat is definitely the best ride in the house. But with this train design it's super hard to see anything unless you're in the front. So if you really want to see what's going on and how high you're actually flying the entire time, sit in the front on this ride. It's size is unmatched.
Yeah, while I think this looks better than montu POV wise, these elements are taken at kinda a slower paste then montu such as the batwing and the first zero g roll.
I rode it yesterday (September 24th 2022) and I have no idea how to describe how I feel about it because the whole ride for me atleast it feels crazy because so much is going on definitely top 3 for me
I am trying to take a trip to KI this summer. For anyone that has ridden Banshee, have you ridden Alpengeist? Curious to know how the two rides compare
Not sure if you made it out KI or not, but I'd say Banshee is a bit longer and more graceful than Alpengeist, and is super whippy in the back. Whereas Alpengeist is more aggressive and snappy, and overall a more intense ride. B&M, the manufacturer, makes their rides a lot more smooth and fluid now than they did in the 90s, and Banshee was built in 2014. Newer B&Ms don't have the bite that the 90s ones have lol. Lemme know your thoughts if you made it to KI! 😁
this is the best ride ive ever been on, better than orion. its at a great speed, its constantly putting you upside down, its a great behinner ride for sure. the final corkscrew always makes my stomach churn though
Every other ride in the park had signs on it that said there was no storage for personal items in the station, leave your stuff in a locker. But every other ride in the park DID have storage on the station and did allow people to use them. Banshee was the last ride I was going to go on and after waiting in line with my small backpack for the first time (since I left it in lockers before I saw every other ride allowed you to bring your stuff) I wasn't allowed to ride Banshee when I got there because I had my backpack (even if I just kept it on my back when I got to my seat - it was one of those really thin ones where the straps were the small nylon ropes). That made me very frustrated. Wish I could have gone on this but after waiting in line so long it was time to go.
so is this good for my first big rollar coaster because I've been wanting to ride it but I've always been to scared so I have some questions 1. is the ride smooth? 2. what's the probability of the restraints coming off? and 3. is the drop really scary or is it just really cool
1. Haven't been on this one specifically but b&m inverts are usually pretty smooth. 2. Litterally zero. 3. Obviously differs from person to person but I've been on very similar drops and i think they're just really cool.
Rode for the first time last week and it was so rough it scrambled my brain and gave me a horrible headache… please look into this, I wanted to like it so bad. I don’t want to go around saying I liked Invertigo better!
I rode this for the first time last week and take it from me; it’s my absolute favorite roller coaster but I rode it in the back row and on top of that it was at night! They say the back seat is best and it was pretty good but I did experience some shakiness however, a awesome ride and I hope to ride it again! RIP flight of fear cuz I’m not tall enough 😓
Never been to this park before, but I read the news. I just watched this part 0:25 on .25x playback and I’m wondering, is that a photo souvenir camera???
@@lexicooper08 Just wondering, was the Beast still down when you went? I went on vacation to cedar point then kings island like 2 days ago and the beast was down the whole day on the second day I was at kings island
This was my first “dangling feet” coaster (sorry I don’t know the official name for it) and I don’t regret it! It was definitely my second favorite coaster at Kings Island, my first favorite being Orion. My little brother’s favorite was Diamondback btw.
I do have to say I think that raptor at cedar point is a little better just because i feel this one repeats stuff a lot and i understand that i just feel like it’s a little shorter than raptor as well but this ride looks great
banshee was my first intense ride other than hagrids, if that counts, it’s restraints are so comfy and so safe. I’ve been scared of coasters for 8 years but I rode it yesterday, and now I’m planning on diamondback next.

Don't Forget Talon, Oziris and Afterburn but yeah, Banshee and Montu are by far the best
Banshee is DEFINITELY one of my top favorite inverted coasters! EVERYTHING about it is so smooth!
Yeah until you get hit by it
@@720_Skatez It is not funny to joke about this people literally have trauma from this event… everyone on that ride saw everything
@@720_Skatez Well you won’t get hit by it if you stay out of the restricted area. It’s restricted for a reason.
i went on it with my mom yesterday, our sandals almost fell off but i had alot of fun going upside down and riding around, what a thrill !!
I LOVE Banshee I LOVE Everything about Banshee I Love how High it is and I love love Absolutely LOVE The Inversions on it as well.
I think it rattles too much to enjoy. It's very rough
Road this for the first time yesterday, and was my favorite coaster, smooth and fast 😎
It was my 3rd time and probably my fav coaster at the whole park haha
I went yesterday too
It’s been my favorite for like a year it never gets old
It definitely is a great coaster!
But now that I rode diamondback, diamondback took my first
just rode this with my daughter on her 8th birthday today… i shouldn’t be surprised she had the guts and now i have a legit coaster buddy. amazing day!!!
It's said that this ride is haunted. Guests report hearing the sound of keys jingling followed by a mushy thud.
And the sound of a man made track made of trees being cut back down
Love this ride, speed is perfect, seats are comfortable and overall amazing. 👏 This along with the bat are my fav rides. I'm not even a fan of roller coasters but this def is great. Highly recommended
Rest in peace to the Son of Beast, but this was definitely a great replacement for it!
I was terrified of this roller coaster but I rode it barefoot with my dad, it was so fun we rode it three times in a row lol. I love this one, definitely my favorite :)
If you ever get the chance to ride it do it!
same, i was so scared, until the lift hill passed and i dont remember much past that in detail
How do you ride 3 times in a row my legs were sore after riding one time
I couldn’t walk the rest of the day my hips hurt
Looks like a great invert. Not a fan of the Valravn style vest restraints, though.
Im riding this today! So excited! And nervous...
Was it your first time
@@TTVHayden yep. Best first big rollercoaster ever!
Well, it was fun wasn’t it?
Same I was nervos to
@@Neon_Moon2 yeah, I was crying. Cause I was like six
My favorite ride in the park tbh, but I haven’t rode everything
Went on orion for the first time, I think I like it better.
If I’m correct I’ve been on every coaster and every ride (that you don’t pay for) besides the delirium and the drop tower
Me either but I think Orion and diamond back will be pretty good once I ride them

Absolutely loved it, got the t-shirt and everything. I love the designs, and the mascot is so beautiful.
This ride has excellent pacing and one of my favorite layouts. It’s intense but you have time to soak in each element.

Have you been on it

banshee being your first roller coaster is wild
i’m ten and this is my favorite ride at kings island!! it’s really smooth and fun :3
I like the banshee, it’s very fun.
Though the part where it’s upside down I feel like it’s the end of my life but 😂 it’s fun!
So the back seat is definitely the best ride in the house. But with this train design it's super hard to see anything unless you're in the front. So if you really want to see what's going on and how high you're actually flying the entire time, sit in the front on this ride. It's size is unmatched.
Banshee is the best inverted coaster I’ve ridden so far! Great ride!
This is the reason Halloween haunt is so fun to do
I absolutely love Banshee! ❤
hands down favorite ride in this entire park
Rode this ride 3 times yesterday definitely one my favorite roller coasters at kings island
You didn’t get hit by it did you? Lmao
That rattle is really getting bad. I hope they find a way to fix it.
Still smooth
new gen inverts are too graceful and not whippy enough
Yeah, while I think this looks better than montu POV wise, these elements are taken at kinda a slower paste then montu such as the batwing and the first zero g roll.
Ride montu
They can't all be Flight Deck or Raptor.
I rode it yesterday (September 24th 2022) and I have no idea how to describe how I feel about it because the whole ride for me atleast it feels crazy because so much is going on definitely top 3 for me
Only legends remember the roller coaster son of beast that was at the same spot as banshee
This ride reminds so much of Raptor at cedar such a good ride!
P.s rode it. BEST DAY EVER. But in the rain...
Right after the Zero G roll (3rd inversion) is where the accident happened
What time stamp
0:38 at the bottom in that grassy area
I’m pretty sure it happened just after the first inversion at 0:25.

2nd best invert in the country behind Montu
What about alpengeist at Busch gardens in Virginia? I’ve never been on it but my father loved it

It’s called an invert
Ok thank you
Top 5 invert
I did this yesterday, and I found my inner banshee
That is so smooth
It’s really fun but it’s really only scary the first time, still a really good coaster
I rode this for the first time ever and it was not as bad as I thought it was
Bro it’s soooo good frrrr
Greatest roller coaster of all time by far
I do have to say I think that raptor at cedar point is a little better just because i feel this one repeats stuff a lot and i understand that i just feel like it’s a little shorter than raptor as well but this ride looks great
holy moly that is fast
rode this for the first time today
That’s got some nice hangtime
Also, this is the one built over son of beast’s grave
When I rode it before, I didn’t really feel the hang time on any inversions except for that final one.
love this it’s so fun but scary
Looks like astronaut training! Hahaha
Favorite ride
Get ride of the vest restraints please. K thabks
Wish this ride stayed open for winter :(
id be so scared my legs would hit the fence
Anyone else notice the banshee scream sounds rather... Familiar?
Turn your device when the side inversions come for a whole new POV
I had a panic attack at the end of the ride
How do I overcome my fear of roller coasters like Orion or banshee
Go on them and scream
banshee was my first intense ride other than hagrids, if that counts, it’s restraints are so comfy and so safe. I’ve been scared of coasters for 8 years but I rode it yesterday, and now I’m planning on diamondback next.
Isn’t this just Superman from Six Flags Great America?
