Why would it valley?

No kidding. Beemers very, very rarely valley. Off the top of my head I can think of two, and one was during pre-season testing, the other also occurred outside operating hours.

Is it just the angle, or are the cars on the train, REALLY far apart?

^ I don't believe they're connected to each other yet.
My verdict on the riding experience for these new trains is completely pointless now. I think it will be interesting to see how they ride, and if we see B&M ever reverting back to the old style, or sticking with (and refining) this new design.
BUT, I think the colours of them are sort of odd. The turquoise-yellow doesn't seem to match the blue-maroon track and supports. Don't know if they're going to look a bit weird when it's running...

Hmm, I quite like the look of the "new" Invert seats, but I think they might make the ride seem pretty forceless. I find the flyer seats absorb too much of thrill and movement of coaster, they're almost too comfortable. The "old" ridged seats feel like they're more connected with the track so it heightens the experience. Flyer seats are too floaty.

Saw that they had placed the train on the tracks, can't wait for a POV.

Must have missed the memo that this thing has an entirely new train design with the wing rider style restraints.
Its interesting to say the least, why fix something that isn't broken is what I was thinking though.
The B&M clamshell restraint is better in my opinion, the vest can be quite claustrophobic if its too tight and you can have the clamshell fairly loose if the ride op doesn't pin you which allows for a better experience which isn't possible with these restraints.
Will be interesting to see what people make of them, hope it doesn't take away from what looks like an excellent coaster.

The clamshell restraint isn't possible on an invert or floorless coaster design though.

I was also at a Kroger the other day getting stuff to make dinner and I saw that they had a standee at the front of the store promoting Banshee along with season passes...and nearly flipped out and dropped my groceries. 
Forgot to take a picture but it's there for anybody else living in the area with access to a Kroger.
