OR as RCDB.com says "hybrid with steel supports" http://www.rcdb.com/id3231.htm if u dont believe me. -Transam (ready to burn some ricers)
-
No those examples are hybrids. Gemini is a minetrain coaster.
-
But each side has 2 trains. Yes 12 more people can enter at one time per train but that wouldnt cut out 45 mins to 1 hour out of wait time
-
ok i dont know about you, but isnt it neat to think that SOB is the only hyperwoodie, and is the tallest wooden coaster on the planet? Last time i checked Voyage was steel structure and wood track therefore is NOT i repeat NOT a wooden coaster. Saying that SOB and Voyage are of the same design is like saying FaceOff and Topgun are of the same design.
-
OK i know i am a dork but here it goes All i could picture was Kinzel, and the managment of KI sitting in the International Restraunt eating hotdogs with a spinning wheel determining which ride would be closed down next. haha
-
Why is everybody hatin' on SOB? Ok i rode it twice on the 4th during KIC: the event. Both times i rode it very back seat in both trains. IMO it was about as rough as the premier trains in the front. I actually believe the back seat in The Beast was far rougher saturday. My question is why is everyone now on the "tear it down, get rid of SOB" bandwagon?? We had to wait 1 hour and 1 hour 20 minutes respectively for our rides. So i would think the GP actually likes the ride. For comparison Racer (which we rode right after SOB) was 15 minutes for back of the backwards train, 45 minutes for front seat of Vortex. I love KI, and i enjoy every ride at KI except for AE, and TR:TR (i liked it when Paramount opened it and the effects worked). Just my 2 cents.
-
Man why does everybody hate Son of Beast? First of all i will agree that it does kinda get boring after the former loop area (i wish they could have intamin or PTC design wooden trains that are light and can handle the loop) but i thought that i had heard that Sonny was supposed to have alot more track after the loop, (and maybe the second helix) but it would be longer than Beast, so the park had them redesign it to be shorter. I dont know about you guys, but i enjoy sonny. It is a neat to see it ominously waiting over the Action Zone.
-
Too bad KC couldnt go back in there... *remembering when he rode KC* too bad, im sad
-
I was wondering who that was in the other Smokey and the Bandit shirt!! lol
-
I agree that we could use a stand up!! And since we all saw that they still have the King Cobra sign, they can call it King Cobra!!
-
Look its me the one on FH laying down with the white shirt, kahakis, and adidas!! also i was stuck on FH also. I think it was something with the release on the vest? IDK i have always ridden front, so the near back was something new to experience!!
-
haha in the picture where we are walking back to The Beast i am directly infront of your brother. I am in the white shirt!
-
When i got there it was a big sigh of relief to see the ticker say "Rides closed today - Tomb Raider" Not that i dont like tomb raider, but it really needs to be operating 100% or not at all. Just my 2 cents. Also i finally got a ride on Son of Beast, I havent been able to ride it since 2004, due to not going to the park, (2005 season), people not brave enough (or not stupid enough!!!) to ride it, or it being down.
-
I just wanted to say i loved it. I can not wait to get to go again next year! I also agree about seeing some of the parts shops at ki, i would like to see that!! Other than the SOB tour, i had a wonderful day. Thanks to everyone that put this on, and to everyone there! It was cool to get to meet alot of you!
-
I rode yesterday in the last seat of both trains (yea 2 rides and the KIC event!) They were both enjoyable. A little rough, but remember this is a 218' wooden coaster goin about 80mph. The rosebowl was not as bad as the helix on beast, beast was angry yesterday morning and took it out on us guests!! anyway it was an enjoyable day, and im glad that every is up and running again!
-
WOAH! WOAH! WOAH! WOAH! WOAH! Lois, this is not my Batman cup!!! anyway, we dont need so much anger on this site. Just think u could work at walmart, where we have all D*ckhead managers, no cookouts, no games, or rides. The closest i come to a fun part of the day is when i get to take the Forklift out for a spin!! As a wise Jedi master once said Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering!
-
I say use the old PKI logo, but take Paramount out of it, and replace the mountian with the tower!!
-
And yet we still dis on Paramount. That was one thing i missed from the Paramount days, and i wish i would have used my KI season pass to hit up KD or carowinds. Now i have a gold pass (no parking) and i feel that it shouldnt be the same as last years if i dont get parking and the Paramount parks with it. IMO this is what they should do Season Pass (one park for $X) CF or Parmount (Legacy parks for $XX) MAXX Pass ( All parks for $XXX) Maxx Plus (Parking, JC, Gold, every perk for $XXXX) Change the designs, so that way it is obvious (season pass green, Paramount blue, CF red, Maxx, silver, Maxx plus gold) That way there is no confusion. OR Season pass = ALL PARKS ala Paramount
-
Why would CF move that slide to KI? I thought GL's strong point was its waterpark? Just a speculation
-
When i was last at the park the 60% off sale(s) were in full effect and you could find alot of beast, SOB, TG,IJ:ST, Firehawk, and paramount stuff. My question is that the fearsome four at Kings Island (according to a cup i got for $1.50) are The Beast, Son of Beast, Vortex and Top Gun? I understand the first 3 (the coaster that put KI on the map, the defiant son, and the mega looper) but i dont understand TG. Dont get me wrong i LOVE topgun, and the cup looks sweet with The Beast's paws reaching for you with the son looking at you, The Vortex in the background, and a F-14 in the foregrounds shootin missles off. Interperter, can you explain? Wouldn't FOF be the 4th in the fearsome 4?
-
Do u think when we go on the tour behind SoB we will see the remains of King Cobra?
-
My buddy and i were at KI on the 17th, and the ride op at FOF said they are going to use those cameras on FOF and sell the video of you riding FOF.
-
Helping a newbie out with Maxx passes, my buddy and i saw a CF Maxx pass at KD for $90 or $100 can you get it online or do u have to travel to KD to pick it up?? And how much a night is the Hotel near Magnum? JW
-
^^^^^^ Thats what i thought!! I was pretty sure that we had predicted that in another post. Honastly when all of my friends went a month ago they were all sad we couldnt ride, and when i went yesterday I was sad it wasnt open, but i will catch it later when it opens for good!!! Oh and yesterday was awsome 10am-10pm!!
-
Well if it was struck by lightning, then they probably have to fabricate some steel parts for the lift, therefore we wouldnt see any work done on the lift untill the parts are done
