Thanks guys for the Advice. I Asked the bigger friend if he liked coaster and he said he LOVES them. He did jokingly admit that he can't fit on some rides but he said he set a goal to lose some weight so. When April comes maybe he is able to ride more rides. Thanks for the Advice everyone.

Ok, guys Please help me out. Here is the problem. So when I go to KI I have like one friend that I usually go with (We will Call him Cale for today) Him and his family love coasters It's Mostly because of them I bought a season pass for 2017. Anyways I have a few friends I want to Invite But I don't know how to. Let me Explain. My first friend (we will can Jordon) is 17 So late summer he said he was going to Ki with a friend for the First time. I was excited for him. So then I started blabbering about the 2 times I went this year. When I went those times I was a part of the GP and scared of Coasters. I was Telling him how scary the rides were. Anyways I scared him because I was talking too much about how scary the rides were and not how fun they are. Now When I bring up anything about KI he gets VERY Nervous about it all and starts making lame excuses. So how do I get him to at least to come with me and try out some rides? My Second Friend (we will can Greg) is sort of like an older brother to me. we aren't related but he is pretty chill and nice dude and hangs out with Me, Cale and Jorden. Here is the problem, I won't sugar coat anything He is fat. I KNOW this might seem mean saying but I have to say the truth so you all can help me out. I almost asked him but then I realized his size. I'm Overweight myself but I haven't had trouble fitting in any rides and I have lost around 11 pounds since the end of November's and still losing. I heard that there are like Big Boy seats or whatever but he has a pretty huge belly. I couldn't imagine him sitting on the clam shell B&M restraints and the thing locking. He could maybe ride IDK, But the main reason I don't want to invite him Is Because he might go unwillingly (again very nice guy) and then we get on a ride and he can't fit and has to go through "The walk of shame" and it would be my falt cause I was the person who invited him. Guys so how do I do I Invite them the right way. Should I invite my Bigger Friend or should I not. I just want them to Enjoy KI for the place it is. Please, I will take any advice just help me. My friend Cale Helped me break my fear of coasters and I want Jordon to enjoy them. And it would be nice if Greg could go with us too. And please don't take this as a joke I'm legit serious.

Hey man, that's a sweet idea. I didn't think people would like the idea of this that much. Your new lift/drop concept is sweet. If I haven't mention others can add on to the idea of this maybe one day someone can make a pov of the coaster in a Simulator (Planet Coaster, NL2 etc) Personally I just felt maybe 20 years ago ish The Beast was Feared for its intensity and it being a world class coaster. Since 2000 it has started dropping in people's top woodies. I just felt with this new concept that this coaster could raise or even be Better than El Toro (might be a stretch) but still possible. So let's see what we can do with this. My vision for this is just for The Beast to scared people again. I remember stories from my dad. When he first rode Beast he said he was INTIMIDATED from its Presence. When I went to KI I asked a kid how scary beast is. He said on a scale from 1-1 beast got a 3 for intensity and it's a kid coaster. It sorta got me mad but what was I to say it's Kind of true. It would just be nice to see the fear and kids eyes when they even hear the name of The Beast. Sorta of like that fear some people experience when they saw Son of Beast. Almost and OMG That's a Scary Coaster. It also would be nice to see people but some respek on The Beast name. Anyways that's my main vision of this concept.

When you start watching POV of your favorite roller coasters (it has gotten to the point where when I come towards the top of an airtime hill I lift myself up as if I was the actual ride)

I went to Dollywood in 2015 but was to scared to ride anything. I'm planning to go again with family next year and when I enter the park I'm taking a sprint to Lighting Rod. and I'm making sure to get back row. Thanks for the experience

Ok, I'm pretty sure I triggered most of you with my RMC AE concept. After reading most of your response I see how it would likely wouldn't be the best idea for KI. Now here is my next Idea that you guys would think I'm crazy for saying. It's a Concept of mine called "Beast Unleashed". No this isn't an RMC if that came out of my mouth you guys would likely maul me and I would myself. Practically Beast Unleashed is a modification to the ride itself not changing it drastically but adding some so let me Explain, Again remember, I don't think this would happen But if it did it would be Cool I guess and it's just and idea I thought off. Ok, so Beast Unleashed is a project to make The Beast Overall Better and More Fun Overall. Again I repeat I have ridden The Beast I think the ride is great and it doesn't need this. This would just "fix most of the complaints that a lot of coaster enthusiasts think beast have. Again I think The Beast is fine the way it is. This is just a concept. Alright so from what I know there is many things that many people find could be better about this coaster. 1. Its amount of "Airtime" 2. Its amount of trim breaks" 3.Amount of Stright section Also, My concept was that GCI would help Ki in this project. Anyways the way that they would "Improve" Beast is that.... Where there is straight section they would add airtime. Again this likely wouldn't work for all straight sections but some. With this concept they would Remove the Trim Brakes on the rides. Again I know these were made for safety but even myself sometimes they can be a little too much. Again this might not be in best interest of KI if it required editing the layout of the ride if it was unsafe for riders. Another thing they could do was increase the bank of the Helix. Again remember this is a concept and might not work great at the end of it all. I think The Beast is a great coaster Personally tie for 2nd spot at Kings Island. And it's fine in the way it is. This was just talking about my Concept of a more Intense Beast I should say. Please don't hate as this was just a thought. Personally, I can't say I would be mad if KI did this but I'm not saying they should and I like the way beast is at the moment. Anyways what do you think of this "Concept" and what would you think if KI did this. Also, if there was one thing you could change about beast what would it be and Please don't put "its perfect already", Because no coaster is perfect. Anyways thanks for reading hopefully I didn't trigger you too much. Enjoy your Holidays.

Ok thanks for the info BtW what does TRTR mean ?

Wait Guys. I'm starting to think. When I went to KI this summer I remember seeing a while walking to see The Bat I saw an abandoned station, was this the station For SoB. anyways while reading about Banshee I heard it takes 1/2 of the space that SoB took. Soooo could that be a place that they could Build an RMC coaster? Just Theorizing Guys

Thx for the warm welcome btw can you link me to the rules around here

So one thing is that I have not ridden AE yet. Let me Explain, so I have gone to Kings Island since I was 3 years old always lived in Ohio all my life. I was very scared of coasters, I was only brave enough to get on Woodstock express Ace flying Airel Chase (something like that) and that snoopy ride you go up and down that track. this year my dad got me a 2 days pass. there really aren't into coaster my dad told me the reason he hates them is that one day he went and his buds egged him on to beast and he said it was the most intense thing ever. and my mom is just scared of them. Anyways I would go with my friends in their family. during the drive there I was shaking. obviously, these people love coasters. so first they went on Delirium I was ok with it because I can take spinning coasters. but I hated drops like D-Back. So after that, I was trying to get on a smaller coaster so I suggested AE. Then they said it's a baby coaster and it isn't fun. Then they said Racer. Understand this was my first Big Coaster. I was literally shizzing on myself. But I said I'm getting on Was super fun after that I got on a few more Rides Then I got on Banshee and D-Back great rides. After that I got Obsessed with coaster Know I know a good amount about them. still, haven't rode AE. but seeing POV's of the ride it doesn't look too intense but I can't judge until I ride. I just thought RMC would be nice. obviously, I didn't think about things like you guys did. But if we did get an RMC where would it be built. I'm not sure but is there some Space behind Firehawk & FoF. But in General how much more space do we have to build Coasters

Ok, i know this might sound stupid. But I think many people agree that it would be nice for KI to get an RMC. Our best chance was Son of Beast but then RMC wasn't very popular. anyways I like KI with Banshee even though I have ridden the Son of Beast, It seems that most people "enjoy" Banshee more than that ride. Anyway like I was saying that was the most likely ride to get RMC treatment now that the ride is gone we only have 3 other wooden coasters which are Beast, Racer, and Woodstock Express all of which will never get RMC'd pretty obvious why. so I was thinking what other rides could receive the treatment then I thought Maybe Adventure Express it already has the simple wooden Supports and all they have to do is take off the older track and put the I-Box track and maybe add a little bit, You know stepper Drop and Lift Hill. they might have to make a few adjustments but I see it sorta being like nemesis not tall but still strong and intense. I really haven't theorized when the coaster would come. but right now Maybe 3-4 years after KI receives there Giga. So I think we might get the Giga 2021, (would say 2020 but seems to quick but possible). so Maybe 2025 would be an ok year. Anyways My question to you readers are... Do you think this is ok idea and what is the possibility of this and would you support KI Doing this project? and also any general ideas you guys have (this is my first post so if for some reason I broke any rules I'm sorry I look at the guidelines later)
