Nice surprise! Fun Hangtime

BEST B&M INVERT... Legendary!!!

Inversions Intensity Layout Rattle Harness

Good first drop with intense inversions but the thing about this ride is the fact it is flat out rough. It also has the vest for some reason.

This B&M Invert is great since it has 1. The Length (it's the longest of its kind) 2. The Inversions (the loop around the lift hill, the pretzel knot and the final inline twist are all highlights) and 3. It's a generally fun attraction. However, no ride is without its flaws, and this has some pretty noticeable ones. For one, it has a pretty bad rattle (this is a modern B&M Invert and I was surprised at how rattly it was) and 2. The Restraints. Granted they aren't as bad as some coasters with vests like X-Flight or Wild Eagle but they're still somewhat of a problem.

First Drop Intensity Hangtime Rattle

Super intense invert. Fun whip over the first drop in the back, but the rest of the ride is more drawn out, which is fine. Can be shaky at times, but provides great G's, as well as hangtime on the Zero G Roll and In-line twist.

banshee is my favorite invert so far, the layout is well crafted, it has great intensity and hangtime as well and its a very long ride, there was no rattle for me when i rode it, i also found the vests not to be bad but i fear if i rode banshee again id have a problem with the vests

Inversions Intensity Layout Rattle Harness Discomfort

I sat in the middle on this thing and it was pretty shaky. I got a bit of a little bit of a head ache from that ride. I thought this was very intense with a good first drop. The inversions were pretty fun but it just got very shaky at the bottom of every inversion. This is pretty good ride, but I'm sure I would like it better in the front.

Inversions Smoothness Layout

Banshee is my favorite B&M Invert just narrowly beating Montu. The layout is definitely the best of all the inverts and I found it to be incredibly smooth. I got 4 rides on this and didn’t feel a rattle once. I didn’t think it was overly intense like the earlier B&M inverts which is why I can understand why some don’t like it that much but to me this is the best for its superb layout, smooth ride experience, and semi intensity.

Fun Smoothness Hangtime

This is an odd one, as I feel it would have been better as a wing coaster. The drop and first few elements are fast but smooth, unlike the snappiness inverts are known for, and the elevated inversions later in the ride offer incredible hangtime.

Inversions Nice surprise! Smoothness

8.7 out of 10! I loved this coaster, there is only one better (Raptor) than this one. the first 3 opening inversions are top enjoyable moves.

Inversions Smoothness Hangtime

What we've all thought the Batman rides could be. First drop is actually a drop and the inversions are forceful and smooth.

Capacity Hangtime Duration Harness Discomfort

Solid ride with some great inversions. The final roll is wonderful. Very strong rattle and awful vest restraints preventing it from getting 4/5 stars

Inversions Smoothness Layout Disappointing! Intensity

Banshee is my least favorite invert. While an objectively good ride, I love inverts for their snap. Banshee has no snap, and it feels like it defeats the purpose of the model. A fun coaster, but too graceful for my taste, and pretty overhyped.
