quick question, in this picture: http://kiDiamondback.com/public/latest/gal...ge&chip=463 why is there a wire running from the top of the support?

Well, a lot people who are registered on one site, are usually registered on the other too. So I don't think people really mind if something like this is posted, I mean we are all obsessed with the same thing, Kings Island! yea, i know, i too am registered on kiextreme, although i am extremely inactive over there.

new blog entry, even though it's about the "other site" i'm still going to post the link. http://kiDiamondback.com/public/latest/blog/

right but car tires and the wheels on a roller coaster are very different.

i thought that track contracted when it got cold, so wouldn't that mean that the train would have less friction resulting in more speed?

i think i remember terpy saying that when Son of Beast valleys they just cut away a spot in the track and then use a crane to remove them from the track.

^i think those were there yesterday too.

does anyone have a link to a picture with the old banking after the first drop?

^i love that idea, that way if you just want to go to ride rides you don't have to have people jumping out at you every five seconds

but you only see it at the very start and very end of the train ride.

see that's the thing, i have the paramount version, but i don't want to risk damaging it since it is sorta a collectable now.

^^yea, but the Cedar Point one hasn't been updated in a few seasons.

i was just wondering if anyone on here knew if Kings Island-opoly will be making a return in 2009?

nobody is arguing just trying to help you out a little bit around here.

so i just read the wiki page on The Beast and the only thing that it said that i did was that the second and third tunnels were joined and that they replaced the trim brakes. it didn't even mention anything about the trains being changed or the degree of banking being changed in the turn coming out of the first drop. sorry if i am in any way sounding mean or rude, it is just one of my peeves being wrongly acused of something. also sorry if i have every wrongly acused any of you all. oh and thanks longlivekingscobra for backing me up.

because i would like to see what has all been changed or fixed to The Beast well, pretty much all that has been changed on The Beast is/are the trains, the banking of the turn after the first drop, and the skid trim breaks have been replaced with magnetic trim breaks. and please correct me if i am wrong. You go that off wikipedia by the way really now ? i am pretty sure you are not my laptops history, and i never go on wiki since anyone could write anything about anything.

the more i watch the video the more i see that has been changed, so sorry if i am starting to confuse anyone but they also joined together the second and third tunnels.

o.k. in this video you can see the old trim brakes at 1:47 the old banking in the first turn at 1:53 and the old trains at 5:18 name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>"> name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"> oh and i forgot about them also draining the lake around it,(you can see it under the track during the turn out of the station.)

i agree with you 100% on the old breaks

this is a link to a picture of the old trains: http://www.KICentral.com/history/photos/di...um=9&pos=13 this is a link to a picture of the old skid trim breaks: http://www.KICentral.com/history/photos/di...um=7&pos=28 i'm still looking for a picture of the old banking of the first turn so if i find one i will post the link.

maybe we could get sarah palin to shoot off the starting rifle?

i for one hope that the next four days go by fast,

as long as everyone remembers to drive their snow machines it should be ok.

^i for one didn't see it until you just pointed it out, and also it took me a few updates to realize that it said when it had been last updated.
