It's a Roller Coaster Landmark.
that must have been what i read but when i saw that on the caption i put the sign and the award together
-
Good catch!
You are absolutely right. It is not right....
I'm sure it will be fixed directly!
thanks, so what exactly does the ace sign out front of The Beast say?
-
I do not speak for the forum management, owners or operators. CoastersRZ, a mod here, has offered to change the caption, should you kindly inform him where it is, if it is on this site.
Seems pretty gracious to me...
it is where you first go into the roller coaster photos from the picture gallery menu and it is in the caption talking about The Beast on the folder for its pictures
-
I cannot speak for a photo gallery caption, but I can categorically say The Beast never qualified for this dubious honor.
In these days and with current industry standards, why on earth anyone would want to recognize coasters that do not meet widely accepted modern day safety standards for new installations is totally beyond me.
o.k. well sorry for this forum. do with it what you want

The Beast NEVER was an ACE Coaster Classic:
i just looked at your link and saw it wasn't there but how come in the photo gallery it talks about it being deemed an ace coaster classic?
-
why wasn't The Beast stripped of its ace coaster classic award? the only reason i ask this is because the blue streak at Cedar Point was stripped of its ace coaster classic award because they added seat belts to the trains. so why didn't the same thing happen when they added the seat belts to The Beast?
sorry if anything like this has already been posted

(Just imagine how much goodwill could have been purchased for almost nothing by merely bringing back the old Old English Font park logo)
Which one is that again? The red logo?
If that's Old English, my definition of Old English is very, very wrong.
looks more like midevil than old english

the thing that i miss the most is the looping Son of Beast
and Flight of Fear when they didn't almost stop you at the block breaks

I was just saying my most recent KI dream, I've had PLENTY theme park dreams weirder than that. To name a few...
1. Back in 2004, I had a dream Action Zone and Oktoberfest were redone. Days of Thunder was replaced by a very compact log flume maybe three stories tall. Drop Zone, Congo Falls, Son of Beast, Face/Off, and Delirium were removed. At the same time, Timberwolf had been converted into an indoor theater with two sides, and performing was Cosmo and Wanda (for those who don't know, they're teh pink and green haired fairies in Fairly Odd Parents on Nickelodeon). I stumbled upon a brochure on the ground, and it showcased the coming attractions- A ride with two sets of tracks- one maybe seven feet above the other- would be in the area. The track was very similar to Demon Drop's form, but the ride flipped you and dropped you several times. Very interesting, but rough. Another ride was a hyper-coaster similar to Nitro, and a pedaling bikes (monorail cycles) attraction that traveled under a non-existent wooden roller coaster.
the real cosmo and wanda or people dressed up like them?
-
You watched the Goodybe Zoey?
No comment on that.
But I've had my share of KI dreams. A moth ago I dreamed I saw an article in the Pulse Journal with a small overview of Oktoberfest, near Sling Shot, which showed the new ride. It could be summed up as a tumble-bug that had circling track that traveled around its center several time, so instead of one circle, it was a spiral of circles, the final returning to teh station by going over teh others (or vice versa).
I didn't know if it was a dream or not when I woke up, so I recovered both the Pulse Journal and Cincinnati Enquirer from the trash when I woke up and scavaged them for any signs it was true
well that is nothing once i had a dream that i was on Son of Beast and something broke on it causing a support failure which caused the rosebowl to collapes, then the next day after i told my mom about it, the news came on and Son of Beast was shut down because of an accident which later was anounced that it was caused by a structure failure
Wow, can you see into the future?
Along time ago before Dragster was built, before i ever heard of Cedar Point i had a dream i was there riding Dragster, and Millenium Force (only it was a B&M that just did zero gravity rolls.) But the point is i had a dream about Dragster before it was made.
i don't know i mean i have had many of those deja vu dreams but this was the first one that actually scared me when it came true

Because the log in is only for those who have proper access to it to add photos and content (Such as myself, the other mods, and the admins). You can see everything there is to see by just viewing it, no need to log inl
so how do you add comments to pictures?

I hope Bubba Gump doesn't leave, its a real nice resturaunt
Plus I don't think it will, It has nothing to do with paramount.
Wait, paramount made the Bubba Gump movie. DARN!
have you not seen forest gump? if not in the movie there was a guy named bubba gump and it was his dream to open a shrimp shack but he died before it happened. thus giving you all of the things advertising forest gump in the restutaunt
so it is tied into paramount
-
Paramount and Meridian Shrimp Company:
http://www.zolezziconsulting.com/insights_bubbagump.htm
How long Cedar Fair has to continue using the name is not known.
I would not be surprised to see it gone very soon.
if Cedar Fair owns paramount, why don't they re new the license's?
-
The name is used under license. And the other restaurants have a much more upscale and broader menu:
http://www.bubbagump.com/menu.html
Their food is quite scrumptious, and the prices are not all that much more than in the theme parks.
Interestingly, US franchises are NOT available.
licensed under paramount or someone else?
-
It might be able to keep the name since it's not totally Paramount, but who knows... I think that it'll keep the name.
that is what i was thinking. beings there wasn't a bubba gump shrimp shack in the movie forest gump
-
i was just wondering do you think bubba gump's name will change? because yes it is from the movie forest gump but there are at least two others in the world, one in gatlanburg, tennessee and one somewhere in new york
-
yea, how do you take pictures from a pen-drive and post them?
never mind

this is the only good picture i took of an amusment park this year
Were you at a place with like a light house and stuff when you took this? Because that picture looks very simaler to a picture that I took a while back from when we took a trip to CP.
if you are talking about a place with a short and fat light house then yes
-
does anyone know the new names of Kings Islands rides? because local 12 said along with the new sign there will be rides with different names.
-
IMO I find White Water Canyon to have a longer queue but know one ever complains about it.......
that is because wwc is a long enough ride you can take a breather while on it before you have to take the walk back
and top gun has a longer queue than wwc

Italian Job Stunt Crap.
laughing! That was cute.
This surprises me. Most people seem to like TG. I wouldn't call it a favorite of mine either, but I really don't want to see it go...that's just one less coaster to ride.
where are these most people at? because i only know a few that ride it because they like it. majority of the people i know ride it just because it is there.
-
I'd rather see Top Gun removed before repainted, it's the worst ride in the park. Well, second worst- still can't get crappier than Italian Job Stunt Crap.
look at the bright side at least with the italian job you don't have to walk threehundred miles to rest your feet for like twenty seconds and then rewalk the three hundred miles
-
i guess this is because i was used to it, but i like the i in Kings Island better when it was just dotted not have a flag over it even though all the other Cedar Fair parks do to.
