The Beast went much faster before it had the trim breaks, it would go much faster down the hills after the first and 2nd lifts. I believe The Beast has slowed down considerably.

You can say that again! I worked Pride Night, unsure of what it was going to be like. Im not GLBT or have anything against the people at Pride night, I just didnt know what to expect. It was a good experience, that was definently the nicest and one of the best crowds at Kings Island. Withe the exception of a few drunk individuals who needed their friends to help them up, there were no guest problems and unlinke on other days, everyone told me thank you after helping them. Pride night definently has the most courteous crowds.

Fearfest only made me jump a few times too, and I wasnt horrified or petrified. But Im that way with all haunted houses cause I know its not real. However, some people are easily frigtened by that stuff and the look I saw on some peoples faces and the reactions they got when being scared was priceless. Fearfest was great. I wanna work as one of those sliding guys with the sparking knee pads.

The Beast was an airtime machine when it had the buzz bars, and can still be if you know how to not staple yourself. Put your lap bar down so its atleast an inch off your leg and ride in the 2nd car from the back and over the first and 2nd hills you will get plenty of air. After that, your likely to be stapled, but if you survive that then hey..its a good ride. Snapper's right, the trims do ruin The Beast, theyre not even played down, when you ride in the front you feel them and theyre way too obvious.

That one employee at Beast, whos always on his toes and taking care of guests while not losing his sense of humor or sense of sarcasm. God darn he's good at what he does. I think his name is Rodney.......errr..........ron.....oh yeah.....Ronny! darn, hes good. Oh yeah and that one sup. at white water canyon named Brandon aint bad either.

If its a limited engagement then why are they buidling a new theatre for it? Could this mean other new high quality shows in the future?

I believe that is the night, Whoopie Goldberg, popular comedian, will be attending the park. I remember reading it in the Enquirer.

Uhm, your the first park to get Mission Impossible Stunt Spectacular. So therfore, pki is not the first park to get everything.

I didnt know B&M was working on one, but I do know that Intamin has a working model of one. There is a rumor that S&S is building one in Japan right now slated for a 2006 opening. LINK!!!!

Snapper, you think the trains are too heavy but pretty much every other wooden coaster uses those PTC trains. And youre right, beast can get pretty boring. I bet it was better before the trim brakes, headrests, and individual lap bars. I rode it today in the 2nd seat from the back and got a lot of airtime untill I was stapled, allowing me to get no more airtime or sensation after the first two hills.

Fearfest was great, my first time ever, the park looked amazing.

Heres some photos I took of dry run night and some other haloween realted photography. LINK!

Heres some pictures i took of dry run night for those of you eager to get a fearfest preview. LINK!

Yaaaarrrr you beat me to it Ryan! I was hoping to be the first to post pictures this afternoon! Great pics ryan!

Were you referring to what I said? I was agreeing with you, I think more parks should be discussed and I think theres many better parks than PKI.

So referring to your last post are you mad at me for correcting you? You said Lesourdsville aka Americana used PTC, they still had the NAD trains before it closed but PTC lap bars were fitted with the NAD trains.

WHATS A GIRL?? yuck i dont wanna kiss girls thats nasty!! EVERYONE needs sto relize that PKI is a GREAT PARK!!!! but there are hundreds of other parks out there! not to mention hundreds of others, but hundreds of other better parks with better rides.

Hey Snapper! The Beast travels at speeds of up to 70 mph through a sidebending double helix with 135' and 141' drops!!! Yeah, if only that were still true. The Beast is good, and I love it because it was my first MAJOR coaster. I admit its gotten worse over the years. Im going to try Raven and Legend again and Voyage when it comes out and see if those are better.

Thats really cool you got to see the Space Shuttle launch! Im sure you were pretty far away, you werent able to hear it were you? As far as I remember, Cape Canveral is pretty far from Sea World. What did you think of Sea World? I hated it when I went, two good coasters but there just wasnt enough to do. Did you get to see "seymore takes pirate island"?

your just stuck up beast ass no offense but The Beast IS FUN BUT darn IS IT BORING! I just prefer Beast because I like the tunnels and speeding through the woods.

Hey! whered the Nick or Treat thing go? HAPPY NICK OR TREAT!

In response to what GGG asked, no thats not Top Gn Supersonic, top gun supersonic was designed as a flying tilt coaster. That thing looks cool however, I dont see a top Gun theme when the track is below you, theres no sensation of flying. However even if it was built as a standard sit down coaster, that aircraft carrier would look awesome! Just as long as its in a lake. They should take donw Timberwolf, put in a lake, build that aircraft carrier there and put in the coaster. That would kick major @$$.

You all forget about Beast, I prefer Beast over Legend and Raven any day.

It still doesnt change the fact that Disney parks are very good. Legend Rider what are you gonna do if El Toro is ranked #1 over Voyage?

Yeah death on the Mars Ride, due to the kids medical condition and the death on tower of terror, medical condition. Derailing and Crash on two disney coasters with minor injuries, compared to Six Flags having a guest launched out of one of their superman rides.
