Thank you all for answering. My apologies for asking a question that had already been asked.

Last year when I got into coasters my family acquired Kings Island season passes mid season. Had a blast in 2020 despite the restrictions. I'm sure you guys already know, but the park announced there would be passholder preview days May 8th and 9th. Since this is our first opening day with passes I have a couple questions. How crowded is the park normally? I'm sure it will be different due to COVID, but put to scale would you expect it to be normal attendance/lines or shorter lines and less people due to it being only passholders.

A tiny part of me thinks it might be just trees to make The Beast more immersive but it will probably be a coaster or some kind of ride

Why not just put a strata coaster inside of it... or even a Trex? talk about potential...

Is that because of it's footprint or because it isn't very thrilling? I've found its a good fit for where it is given the appeal to families. I personally think its kinda boring but Id hate to see it leave. Surely another family ride goes there.

I like the ride but now I go to the park more than I have but i may start opting to skip it unless I have friends with me who aren't ready for orion and other thrilling rides. the final lift hill kills it for me

Whats the 11th?

Well obviously they wouldn't bring back SOB as SOB but some type of wood/hybrid coaster in the nature of The Beast or sob *could* happen because of the legacy it left on the park

If we are talking 2020s whats the chance KI gets an RMC? Maybe Racer for 50 years? Also for KI whats the chance SOB comes back in some form? Either RMC, or some kind of reboot for the ride (i.e. Daughter of Beast, or Son of Beast Reborn). Im sure this has been discussed a million times, sorry I joined today.

I personally like tunnels, part of me feels like the noise they create even adds to the intensity. I mean it kinda may be a "cheap" addition but I wouldn't take away from it just because they are improving a ride even in a small way.
