JxAx Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 You have one more ride to ride at Kings Island. Ever. What would it be? Why? -It must be at KI right now, and working. so, that excludes Firehawk and Son of Beast. I'd have to say Vortex. The first drop (in the back seat for lots of airtime)..then the loops. Pretty much falling out of my seat in the corkscrews and the boomerang (or batwing, whatever its called). Man that would be a great last ride...at least i think so - what would your last ride be?

The Interpreter Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Preferably one that lasts about, say, forty years! More seriously, of what is there now, Flight of Fear. Front seat, either side. Or back seat, either side. I'm not all that picky. Of any ride ever at Kings Island? The Flying Eagles. On a non-windy day please.....and a nice long cycle!

Snake Attack! Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I am going to go with slingshot, you get all fired up for that initial launch and when the ride is all said and done you have a prefect snapshot of the park and the skyline. Then when you get back down you get to see you video and remember the experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boricuabud Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 The Beast. Period. There's nothing like the feeling you have after that ride is over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 ^I am going to have to agree. Except for one thing that i guarentte UncleHenry would want. A night ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDogg Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Although I absolutely love The Vortex and it'd be a hard decision for me to make, I think I'd have to go with The Beast. As stated above, there's nothing like the feeling after a great ride on the legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WooferBearATL Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Thrill Ride would have to be The Beast with Fog falling over the track. Either early morning or twilight. Of any ride it would have to be the train in the evening back when all the theming before Waterworks was built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 The Eiffel Tower. That way I can look around at each ride and remember the last time I was on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corn4ahead Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 It would definetky be The Beast on a day where it was running fast and it would have to be pitch black outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welchce Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I'll have to agree with the majority of the posters so far. When you think KI, you think of The Beast. Not only is it a great ride but if it's going to be the last of my life I'm going to want to go on a nice long ride. A close second for me would be Vortex. Both of those coasters are classic.

UncleHenry Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Psh, Beast at 1 AM is SO much cooler than Beast at midnight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOPGUN1993 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 2:00 AM front seat of The Beast during October is not very fun............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bear295 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Last ride of my life.... last ride of the night on Beast on an early autumn night. W O W!!! The cool air, the smell of trees beginning to turn, the roar of the train in the dark. What a thrill!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI_LIFER Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I was born on April 13 1979, so I have to go with The Beast. On my birthday or Beast's. Better yet, I could start the ride on mine and end it on Beast's. Yea that would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkiBeastfan Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 After more than 500 rides during 2006 with my daughter, I have to say Beast... Particularly early morning or late evening (around sunset) with the fog over the tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cory Butcher Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Pretty sure that I'll be on a flight down to Disney World, to get my last ride on Splash Mountain! But, since thats not the topic, and I dont want to be a 'homer' Im going to say night ride, with fog, on Top Gun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DropZone99 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 mine would be Vortex at 4am, with lightning and really heavy wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoaster Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Mine would be (a tie). The Beast ride from 2am till about 4 am non stop: the Log flume at Knotts berry farm any time its incredible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VortexPKIFreak Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 That is a very hard choice. I'm a big Vortex fan...... but a ledgend like The Beast would be better if it was the last at KI I would ever ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
