i voted backlot, the animation for it made the ride look amazing and people that got to ride it before me talked about how great it was. but it was actually my second ride that made me think it was overrated, my first ride was at night and with the lights and fire working it was a very good ride.

but they were re-designed to fit the extra large track gage of Son of Beast, they were not left unchanged from the old track gage. and congrats on 1000 post

what do you mean, "fit the track"? because last time i checked they fit the track.

i don't like line jumpers, the high food prices, the things that refer to things not at the park, like the photo booths that have king cobra frames as an option, people that think just because you are shorter than them you need to move out of their way, and people who complain about Son of Beast (it's one thing if you don't like it, but just don't rant on about how horrible it is in your eyes, because some people, like me, are big fans of it).

yep, just make sure you get your hand stamped, and be careful the stamps wash off very easily this year.

actually, they did bring in a new part, which was why it was down for so long.

king cobra's problem wasn't the trains, it was the track, so new trains wouldn't have helped it any. if Son of Beast was built next to The Beast, where would Diamondback have gone? and i don't think i would have liked Son of Beast as a hybrid coaster, expecially when his dad wasn't. as for me i love the final helix on Firehawk, the loop on Firehawk, the final helix on The Beast, the swoop turn on Son of Beast, Diamondback's second drop and first helix, backlot's second launch, and flight deck's turn by Son of Beast

i just wish he would check in every now and then. I MISS TERPY

wow, i just realized i done something i never thought i would do.

or krabby patties

they have been on the first drop for, at least, the last two seasons, maybe more than that, but i've only rode it the last two years.

good, no pain, and only b&m hyper. but, compared to other b&m's i'd put about the same, i really like raptor alot.

they have already increased the banking on the turn to the left coming out of the first drop/tunnel

so far my favorite seat is row 16, but i really want to give row 1 a spin.

^^try using brake next time, not break. brake: something used to stop something in motion (ex. the driver hit the brakes to slow the car down) break: to snap (the weight of the old trains on Son of Beast caused a wood support beam to break) and don't worry, i've done the same thing many times

just like i just told you on facebook, it's all about your pain toleration, some people, like me, have a very high toleration for pain, while others don't. just a question, how many times have you rode Son of Beast?

neither do i, but it shocks me when people i take to Kings Island won't ride it because they heard from their friends, brother's, friend's uncle that five people have fell off of the loop when the train jumped the track and slammed threw the lift hill and went into the midway where the train then ran over twenty people and slid into the middle of i-71 where it got hit by a simi.

i don't see it being closed within the next five years, i mean come on ttd has alot of downtime and it's not even a record holder anymore and Cedar Fair has kept it so far, and Son of Beast still holds atleast 2 records so unless some major wooden roller coaster comes along and dethrones Son of Beast i don't see Cedar Fair removing it.

i think the picture that i posted a link to on my flickr account of me and my sister on The Racer was taken by you at one of the ace tours last fall. (the link was on pg. 1 of this thread.)

not really, i mean it is your opinion and you are entitled to it. sorta like how i call Son of Beast a fun ride and others don't

i should add that i think nick beaver took that picture of The Racer

i know, i can't stand it when they are given "the look", the next to last saturday of Kings Island's season last year me and my sister were riding The Racer and i felt bad because there was a boy that was maybe 10 yrs. old, and wasn't exactly right. he was absolutly terrified to get on and he had already walked threw the air gates, when the ride-op closed them. it took about ten minutes to get him to cross the train because he thought that if you stepped in the train you had to ride, the only thing that he wanted to do was go back threw the air gate, to the point that he was shaking it to get back threw, yet the ride op wouldn't open the gate to let him off the way he was wanted to get off, insted his group had to "fight" him across the train causing the very few people in the station to give him the look. http://www.flickr.com/photos/35607580@N05/3637299271/ this is actually the train he was suppost to be in (i believe he was suppost to be in 4-3 and his group in 5-1 and that's me and my sister in 5-2)

wow, i'm so glad that he can still go and enjoy himself as he does at Kings Island, and i hope that when i am older i can still manage to enjoy the rides as much as i do now. oh, speaking of restrictions, i believe on my second visit there was a rather large (trying my hardest to be nice about her size) woman that was in line behind me for Diamondback and she was unable to ride because of her plus size, while behind me she was ranting on about how amusment parks don't take into conscideration plus size people when they design their attractions and rides and how it wouldn't be very difficult for them to design seats that accompany more plus sized people. but wouldn't it make it difficult for an amusment park to have on all rides "plus sized" seating? for example on wooden roller coasters and roller coasters that's "side-to-side wheels"(the real name for them slips my mind right now) that are on the inside of the track, wouldn't that mean to have bigger seats on those types of roller coasters you would have to have a wider track gage? plus couldn't this mean that for it to happen you run into the possibility of clearance issues when a wider train comes closer to some supports, such as the ones on Diamondback. sorry for this ranting, but i think it would be much easier for a more "plus sized" person to lose weight (and yea, i am aware that some people, such as one of my mom's good friend, are unable to loose weight) than for an amusment park to envest so much money into re-configuring all of their rides to accomidate them? once again i am not trying to offend anyone.

^isn't that what i just said, minus the how similar they are?
