Merry Christmas! Here's hoping for a happy, safe and memorable Holiday Season to all of you.

I'm just not hep on the big coaster idea. I know it sounds silly, because I don't have the proper words to express myself, but I'd like more 'social' rides- more of a joint experience. One of the things about the Haunt I like is the social interactions with family and friends. The reactions to frightening things are hilarious. In most rides, you face front, it's a singular experiences until the end of the ride, where you look at each other, and gauge what just happened. One of the fun things about having a friend across from you on Invertigo, is that you can see their faces, and laugh how goofy it is.

easy: KI&MVR station hard: One of the sculpted topiary trees expert: FoF exit station

Easy-any Cincinnati-related reference inside Kings Island (Skyline, Reds, P&G, Mt. Adams incline...etc.) Hard-Vortex, at night Expert-Grand Carousel Wurlitzer semblance

Easy: racer lift hill from x-base Hard: the Don quixote statue over by the candy shop on international street Expert: a pic of the rivertown lumber water tower with the Eiffel Tower in the backdrop

Intamin. Unreliable? Maybe a bit. But great rides? Definitely. I'd love to see KI put in a giga coaster.

easy: racer queue hard: Eiffel Tower from the opposite side of fountains ("behind" the tower) expert: hank's back porch bar

I know Intamin makes wooden roller coasters. I would be just as excited to see Intamin come in with a new wooden roller coaster the same way if Gravity Group were to come in and build another wooden roller coaster. Either one would be a big improvement over SOB. Plus since Cedar Point is up north, I think it would be neat for Kings Island to build something that Cedar Point doesn't have such as a Voyage or El Toro wooden roller coaster.

Merry Christmas, or happy holidays to all of you, your families and friends. Have a great Christmas,

God Bless us, Everyone!! Merry Christmas!!!

Indeed! And may each of you, in your own way, remember the reason for the season. Terp, moving along...soon!

Thanks Don! Merry Christmas everybody!

Seconded here, and same to you, Don!

Or a multi-launch hugging the terrain and jetting in and out of Ravines.

Let's see…I've visited the park every year from '92 to '12, except for '99, '01 and '02 (what was I thinking??)…so that's 18 seasons with probably 1-2 visits a season X 2 rides a visit on average…probably 50 or 60 times; seems like a lot more than that, though.

I would rather KI build something to over shadow The Beast than another park

Just once but there are many more rides on The Beast to come for me hopefully.

Yes, someone has.

I am rumored to have ridden it one hundred bajillion times. Yeah, that's right.

I wouldn't know because I don't keep track

2012- +/-30? 2011-143 2010-119 2009-43 2008-71 2007-35 2006-29 2005-18 2004-29 I've only made note of number of Beast rides. I think 2013 will be similar to 2010 & 2011

I'm willing to bet that's not your own picture. http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?/topic/26808-a-fun-newcomers-guide-to-the-kings-island/?fromsearch=1 First image. Please stop searching for images. It's really annoying.

It is still currently there! Easy: A pic of a shop on the south side of the fountains Hard: front of Festhaus Expert: Hank's dining area

I'd prefer an Intamin. Or GCI. I think a coaster like The Voyage might steal some of The Beast's fame. At least on the GP side. But I'd really be happy with any of them.

You guys can stop rubbing the whole closing day thing in my face now..... xD

Just a point in passing...there are also INTAMIN wood coasters... Terp, just sayin'

I think they live in Whoville, and eat who hash, among other things.

I think that would be wrong..?
