Sorry about that typing faster than thinking. And again beast is my favorite coaster and I too have rode superman. And i am only stating DB is not groundbreaking what it does it does well simple as that so others think because it has a splashdown it is groundbreaking? This is really a pointless debate. Ride is good but nothing new, just a very well executed coaster. And I could care less if a coaster is new or old, i just want a good experience. Its just the norm of past was when a coaster that has been spoke of on such a scale hits the scene you wanted it to be bigger, badder, and more original than any other in the world not just in the park.

Also about the groundbreaking issue, groundbreaking is why true enthusiats and ride lovers alike trek across this continent to try that new experience no other park has to offer. So yeah I prefer groundbreaking for a new coaster and or ride in general.

They checked zero passes when the area around us went through. My opinion on the splashdown is it is gimmicky to be honest, when your riding it you do not notice it one bit as the trail if water is behind the train. As for tunnels and loops I am not saying it needs to have these but an addition would have been a treat. Also as for it being the best or what not this is all personal opinion and I was not the only individual that was not overly impressed, it is a nice ride and very well made. But the best not in my opinion. As for for its type, what type is that hyper, giga, what? Class it as you may I dobt care tp argue or be one of those asses to stirup trouble but as a coaster in general it does nothing groundbreaking, does it set records at KI yes, is it fun? As stated yes. Are the restraints nice? Yes and I clearly stated my adoration for their design and I also believe they should become the standard. But to me a great coaster should offer either fear, thrills, and entertainment production value. Did I get scared? Nope was the speed something new? Were the hills highet, steeper, unique in any way? Nope Was there any unique experience involved? Nope Was it purely a well executed and designef coaster? Yes very so I can name off many coasters that are original and grounbreaking in their time: Everest disney animal kingom for its thetrical aspect, car stops at broken tracks and reverses never been done like it Hulk universal shhots you up the hill Millenium Cedar Point highest hill ever when oped Millenium highest fastest possible at time and rivaled today TTD and kinga kan been said before straight up straight down 120 mile an hour + beast intimidating power and force for a wooden, wooded atmosphere, tunnels the whole thing creates that uncomfortable feelinf we all crave Vortex flips you all over in all direction few like it when it opened Vegas coaster on top of building just nuts to see Cobra standing up never done like that Theres just too many the list goes on I am just trying to say nothing sets it apart. Its a great ride no arguing but it does not have anything innovative it the actual rider experience thaT sets it apart in my opinion.

Also to chime in on the single rider debate who cares? First let me say I did not use it. But if I want to go with my friend and we want to use single rider who cares? Single rider means to I will sit anywhere with anyone just to fill those extra empty seats. I prefer to ride with my wife pr friends but I dont care if another wants to split up and do single rider or even if a group does as long as they are filling empty seats who cares? People worry to much about dumb things just enjoy the ride...

Okay its the day after and it was a great day, i rode DB 3 times, first ride waited about 45 minutes, second almost an hour, my last ride which also was its last run of the night at abou 25 minutes after park close we were up front on the spread out seats and waited practically nothing. I honestly feel the whole line thing was exxagerated a bit yeah it looped stupid long when the general public git in line but that was the only time. There was no need to wait 3 hours plus if you played it smart. We rode beast twice one of which was at closing. Longest wait fot it under an hour easy more close to 30 min. We rode Vortex 2 times including the second to last run or it for the night. Ohh and both Vortex and beast were front seat rides at night. We rode Firehawk longest wait of day about a hour maybe more. Rode Flight of Fear wait about 1o minutes seriously. Rode delerium wait 15 minutes or so. Rode Son of Beast wait 30 minutes after they fixed it. Hmmm rode racer no wait, i think thats about it not sure though. The park was fairly busy but not near what most expected in my opinion. Nothing like last year evil kaneival day not by a longshot. Complaints: first the way they check passes for ert is b.s. Trust me I know fact a fact that someone got in that did not have a gold pass. They do not even check At all just tell everyone in the crowd to hold it up, people were holding up their krogers plus cards. The crypt was broken many times - go figure Thats about it really. Rating of DB: Well this a tough one for me I have a lot of coasters so here goes: GOOD- smooth very smooth, wonderful seats and restraint best ever, its fun, BAD- now heres where everyone is start yelling... Not innovative or unique, nothing sets it apart to be honest. Like the hulk i. Universal shoots you up the hill from the start, the ttd goes insanely faster, millenium feels more massive, etc. Nothing to me sets it apart.... No loops, not they are necessary but boy would they have made a difference also could have used tunnels. So do not get me wrong its a quality made ride, extremely smooth which is nice for a change, but nothing sets it apart really. I just feel if you are build this new 22 million plus ride you have got to have some original idea that when someone rides it is like wow look at that I have never seen that before. Its has not got that "wow" factor ttd has or many other coasters. I still feel The Beast is the best coaster at KI period. Is db worth riding ohh yeah is it worth a 3 hour wait nope but few are. My opinion ttd is as the experience is unmatched except his bigger brother in jersey of course. So my rating is a tough one as what it does it does and executes perfectly. Smooth fast fun not frightenening. I give it a 8.5 By the way Son of Beast is my least favorite by far. I have rode that thing too many times to count and why did they over do it. Its a beautiful piece to look at magificent in stature. But the ride is painful, i wish they could have worried less about speed and more about comfort, it beats the crap out of you and npt in s good way. Not cool.

weak beast owns it period....

Lol no theres a line alright, i am now very close maybe 15 minutes left. Everyone off all smiles.

Still waiting and yes there is a line lol

Nuff said

I will be wearing shorts, as now I believe it is gonna hit 75 they are saying just dont forget the sunglasses.

I will probably be asleep on the ground just give me a kick when they let us is.

Yeah not quite a kid, im a ripe old 33 but We got the hotel, the passes, and the energy... Ready to ride.

Well I will be there at 6 or 7 probably.

Scariest was probably the trail of terror I guess. They are all awesome though.

Sky flyer that was really a rush

My gav. Is that giant round raft that goes down that big slide in the back, not sure the name.

db does not scare me wish it did though.

That ride is very tame but a nice unique experience. But IMO a one trick pony.

I am married to beautiful lady, 2 kids, still have my mustang I bought new in 95', we attend concerts(rock on the range next month, saw marilyn manson on our wedding night), enjoy life... Nothings changed after ten years it is possible. She loves roller coasters too.

I dont have any idea how many times I rode the cobra but I agree 1000% it was a great ride, it had unique downforce off the first drop into the loop. The cage style restraints made you feel u easy before the start with its ribcage style enclosure restraint system. Like an iron maiden (666 the number of The Beast. Lol) and the ride was rather quick. Loved it miss it...

Wow thats similair to what happened to us we drove down there about 45 min. Got there at 2 pm and they did not open till' 4pm. We hung out at the mexican restaurant and went back by that point there was a line. It was day 1 of processing. Sorry to hear about that.

Well thought this would make a good topic starter. Well today at 12:20 pm channel 10 columbus reported about the opening day and their new coaster, but get this they forgot to mention the name of that coaster????? Anyways the worlds out in Columbus as well now..

Yeah thats the concensus but from personal experience drastic changes in body temperature rapidly stress the immune system which is not a healthy practice.

Also the futurecast shows silmiliar weather next weekend!!

Hey i actually like the old bayman as well with its campy humor and pschedelic feel.
