Swarms seats are so comfy, you could literally fall asleep in them, comfiest ride seats i've ever sat in, along with Mondial's Gladiator, and Danters Air.

I agree, The Swarms seats are so comfortable, non of that hitting your head on the restrains to but on a B&M invert the train just looks ugly...

Oh I completely disagree

I think they look awesome! Cant wait to see them flying around the track!

I'll reserve opinion on how they look until I see pictures of the train going through manoeuvres, I can understand why they look bulky compared to what were are used to with the throw down plastic frame.

I for one absolutely love the Swarm restraints, yes they look better on a Wing Rider, but B&M are right to apply the restraints to their existing portfolio.    Record breaking B&M Invert with new super comfy seats, no need to worry about tensing you neck up, it's a win win in my book.

The construction of the station continues to progress - you can see the brick facade on the left hand side.

Is there any theme for the ride?

The theme is pretty much summarised by the name. The idea is that you are riding on a 'banshee' (female spirit), with the backstory suggesting that there were sightings and screams dating back to when the park was first constructed.

creepy af tbh

Nothing special and it may have been mentioned, but on the live view we can see that the lift hill, brake run and station lights are all on. Could this be night time testing??

Kings Island have uploaded a photo of Banshee's first test run to their twitter.

Wonder if it has a B&M rawr...

Apart from the front row, the wheel covers seem to be off

Yes, it's a double post, but HOLY MOTHER OF GOD! THIS THING IS MASSIVE! (and loud :P)

Well I think we can safely say we have that famous roar!

That's such a tease!! Can't wait to see more!!

No ](*,)

So I've been refreshing the live view camera to see testing of the rid, here are my screenshots





These can also give a good look at how quickly the trains are dispatched
If you go on the website and keep refreshing the page each minute you should see that both trains are running

With just under 2 weeks until Kings Island opens, the finishing touches are being added to the ride.
