Most Rides on The Beast in One Day
I would of thought of his name at first after watching the videos in line lol. But its good that parks get some sort of a record from us riders instead of just how tall or fast a ride is. I like to see a record on a spin and puke ride lol.

Most Rides on The Beast in One Day
I beleave the most rides may go to that dude who 1st did the 1,000 rides or more. Cant remember his name. It was when the ride was in its early years when he did it. My 1st ride on The Beast was in 03 and in one day i rode it 5 times.

This May Be A Dumb Question: Cameras?
The camera thing at Cedar Fair Parks is strict if you have one that is big or they can see it. I have had small cameras since i have been going to the parks and i put them into my pockets so i dont have to buy a locker. When i was at the park last year i do know that a person had a camera on Top Thrill Dragster but didnt take it out till they got to the tree(the light tree that has the heads back, arms down and hold on it). When the onride camera took the 1st shot the picture booth seen it and called the police. They got kicked out of the park. I was at the picture booth when it went down and they wasnt happy lol. For some odd reason the person who had the camera on the ride stayed around the ride hence getting caught insteading of walking around the park. I did also see at KennyWood last year a lady talking on her cell phone while on a spinning ride. I know that YouTube has alot of videos of coasters on it. These are onride videos taken by the riders. Alot of them have gotten bashed by most of the viewers cause they know they arent allowed to do that on rides. And Six Flags not allowing people to take pics of the coaster Superman is just dumb. They just dont like alittle bit of pressure from a certin park chain. Lol.

Halloween Haunt 2008 Speculation
Club Blood was very very bad. Had way too much sex stuff in it. Even the end of it was bad. Last years Haunt was bad. Had alot of complants to the park's managers and some of the workers went to far when it came to making jokes. I know that the KI Police was called in due to the parks guest's throwing stuff at the workers who was making fun of others. Surprised that the park wasnt sued over it. Crap, here we go again... No onr will sue KI over any of that crap. Don't like it? Don't attend. Not referring to you Uncle Henry, but Dalefan. It wasn't that bad as far as sex stuff in it. Heck, I really enjoyed it! So, did my wife (who was my fiance' at the time). And thats why you married her because shes easy going and can enjoy something like Club Blood, unlike some folks that have no sense of humor, fun or anything. They are wound up so tight and are offended at everything like a Walmart greeter saying merry Christmas, that they go thru life not enjoying it and wanting to bring everyone else down that enjoys life on a daily basis. I for one loved Club Blood, epsecially the costumes... Thats up to you guys to think all that. Just remember that the others who attend dont know what the haunts are till they get into it. Signs only tell so much. They need to do a haunted trail back by The Beast if thats even doable. I know from the walkbacks at The Beast that the landscape isnt too flat in some spots. I do agree that parents do need to keep kids away from the Haunt since its geared for the adults. Club Blood would be better if they had some of the people in it chasing people around the midway by the entrance to Flight Deck and Son of Beast. I know it was the first year for the Haunt so its hard to tell what changes are made if any. The entrance to the park at the gates was cool with the fog and lights. The work zone where Diamond Back is would be a good scare zone if it wasnt for the dangers. I am going this year to the Haunt to give it another try. I wasnt sure why Club Blood offended me that bad for. You guys think they should make the Effiel Tower more scary looking?

Geauga Lake: ACE did NOT take Big Dipper
Raging Wolf Bobs isnt worth buying anymore or keeping it up. To put it truefully, it just needs to be used as firewood. Its had troubles since its retracking.

Opening Day Problems
Its opening day for crying out loud. They will have alot of troubles with parking and all that till about the 2nd or 3rd weekend. I know when i get to the park its early and hardly no one is in the lot yet. Its best to get there before the park opens.

Do you pay for the gas when you go to the theme parks with your friends? Or do you split the cost of the gas with them?

What type of new ride should Kings Island get?
Six Flags felt the same way but built it anyways lol. I heard it also called the worlds biggest paper weight lol.
-
worst trip to the park I ever had...
Easy. The actual food product prices have jumped through the roof because of gas prices. Why you ask? Because for Kings Island to receive these food products they have to be delivered via trucks, which run on diesel. Also, the food processors have to get their ingredients shipped from around the country causing a higher price. What he said lol.
-
worst trip to the park I ever had...
The price of gas goes up. The food companys who have to pay to fill up raise the food prices to help pay for the rise in gas costs even if the gas they use is 4.19 right now. So the parks raise the price of the food cause the companys raise the prices of the food they bring to the parks. So what i am saying that if the food companys who bring the food to the parks raise there prices, the parks have to raise theres to cover for paying the high prices the companys charge them.

worst trip to the park I ever had...
The way people act now in the parks has gotten so bad that they are either banned or have the Season Passes revoked for the year. I have seen people took out due to them yelling and all that. The workers do have the right to call the KI Police if need be. This went for everything even picture taking on rides. The prices at the parks which is everyone not just Cedar Fair is due to raising gas prices. It seems no one thinks about it or looks up to see the changes. We had to raise our food prices at the hospitals in Columbus due to the companys raising them. And never look at the weather 2 days before you go. It changes very offten lol. I had a cousin who was overweight and use to be able to ride Millie Force till they did the slack rule. I told him if you cant its no biggie and when we come back you will be able to ride. We came back about 2 months later after loosing weight and he was able to ride. I agree with the post about the state. They have to keep up with the laws or be fined and shut down. The best times to go to KI is during the week before school lets out or when its cold.

Ki walk back question
I know they still do the ACE walk back to either The Beast if the old man is up to taking riders that early lol or to another ride or coaster.

Help for The Beast
When was the last time you worked it? Things do change with the rides you know.

Help for The Beast
The ones working the ride. I ride it alot. I know it from riding it during the days i am at the park. Ride it for early ERT and you will see what i mean. Magnum is the same way with its breaks. Very rarely will they turn off the trims or lite them up around the big turn before the tunnels.
-
Help for The Beast
Well you will have to tell them that then. I feel it slower at those spots as the day goes.
-
Help for The Beast
The trims are on certin parts of the ride to slow the trains down. The ride picks up speed at certin turns and if the speed is too much then it will either break the track, derail the trains or hurt the riders. The trims are used at certin levels though out the day. I know for Beast ERT in the morning the trims are used but on a lite level. As the day goes by the trims are used more heavyer. The trims dont make the ride though. It also depends on the weather too. The coaster gets alot of riders every year. Some famous faces ride as well. The trims dont stop them from riding. I as well wont stop riding because of the trims. I ride the thing 5 or 6 times a day or more. Lol.

"Confirmed" Information vs. Speculation
I am glad this was said. We have a guy saying this rumor thing on a post for a 2009 rumor coaster. He was saying that he had inside info but 4 or 5 called him out on it saying its not true. Glad the mods are getting more harder on the rumors.
