mccarthysnerd 103 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Which Do You Like More? The 70's wood monster BEAST or the Diamondback that is ready to strike at anytime? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KI FANATIC 37 4119 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Both are great, but for me Diamondback by a mile.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spitfire 384 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I love both, but I gotta go with Diamondback. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trint2004 36 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 of course Diamondback, its my home for must of the summer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kjkjkj 528 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Definitely The Beast! Hands down. Diamondback is fun and all, but The Beast will always be my favorite ride....especially at night!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TombRaiderFTW 10026 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Null vote. I love Diamondback's (relative) smoothness and insane ejector in the back row on the first drop, but I prefer my coasters with a little more than repeated floater and a few turns. I love Beast's classicness, but (I hate to say this again, but) it just isn't running very well this year, in my opinion. (On the immediate exit from the first pass through the helix tunnel, I swear you can see the track deformations while riding in the front row. If not, sit in the back and watch the entire train lurch as it leaves the tunnel... Don't forget to brace yourself!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HWBeast1039 49 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 They're pretty close but I love wood (TWSS) so I'm going to have to say The Beast!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ki lover 82 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 29 years from now do you think Diamonback will be as well famed as The Beast is now? Didn't think so. The Beast. The name speakes for its self Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joecartoon 4 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 The Beast. I love Diamondback but I love it when i'm running through woods and the double helix at the end is what just makes it the best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flightoffear1996 4169 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Two different class of coastsrs can't compare them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CodyDL 7 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 The Beast is boring to me... DB is fun and exciting! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Titan 1302 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I've never thought to compare a wooden coaster to a steel coaster. But I'll go with The Beast. 1. There is no other coaster out there like it, Diamondback has about four other clones. 2. Without The Beast, who knows where Kings Island would be now. Although Diamondback was a good addition, I'm still going with the big, bad, Beast! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hank 1982 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I sat in the back of Diamondback and was not all that impressed - it was not as smooth as I thought it would be. The future will tell, but I am guessing that DB will get a lot rougher as the years go by - and how do you re-track a steel coaster? The Beast could be around forever - and will change, too, through the years - but at least it can be fixed if it gets to be too much for riders to endure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
