I read that in 2003 the turn after the first hill on The Beast was re-profiled. What exactly did they do?

What is Winterfest? Do they open rides? Is so, which ones?

Thanks, but what does that have to do with the brakes during the ride?

Thanks for the reply. I always knew about the brakes on the first drop and before the helix, but I was referring to the 2 extra brakes at the second hill and during a straight away that were disappointing. It slowed the ride down considerably. Will you please explain the mishap at the end of the 2001 season?

I was at PKI on the 3rd and 4th. Had a great time. It had been 4 years since my last visit. I used to go every year since 1982, but haven't had the chance lately. I was very disappointed to see (and feel) all the brakes on The Beast. Why did they add them? Was it really necessary? It took a lot of the excitement away for me. However, It's still my favorite woodie. I would appreciate any replies. Thanks!

I was at PKI on the 4th also. It was disappointing not to get a chance ride The Beast one more time. Thankfully, I was there the day before. What is the deal with all the breaks on The Beast? Bummer!
