TheRickster Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Undrneath the station and teh elevated cue line. You can tell cause of where there is alot of moss. It also went under the track in the first curve before lift 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Family Guy Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 I remember when The Beast had water around it. The que line had this really cool water trough thing that the water would run down. There was also water around the first curve coming out of the station. I wonder why they took it away. The first time I rode it was its inaugural year...1979. It was incredible. I realize that times change but I remember lots of classic rock and hyped up riders while waiting in line. It would be great if PKI could bring back some of that. Of course I do tend to wax nostalgic from time to time actually alot can't help it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIBeast Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 I wonder why they took it away. I can't remember where I heard this, but it was my understanding that the water attracted a lot of unwanted insect pests. I can remember the water and trough...it was pretty cool.

specialk141 Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 i never remember water under The Beast, but i do remember hearing about it. i can see how the standing water would attract insects (mosquito's) most probably, and well, i wouldnt want them all over me while i was in line, so gettin rid of the water was probably in everyones best interest.

DirtySteve Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 People would also throw their garbage into the water. This stopped up the pumps and filters, so you had stagnant water, rotting garbage, and thousands of insects...not an entirely pleasant experience.
