Beast seemed faster to me Sunday morning than it did Saturday night, particularly the middle section with the tunnels. I could have swore the second trim was off Sunday morning.

Lesson learned. I usually don't even bring it in,but we were meeting a group and it worked good for keeping track of each other. Cargo pants next time for sure!

good one!

I was almost able to save it. We were in the back seat and it was resting there right on the edge for a couple seconds before it flew out. I was almost able to grab it. I will for sure be getting a case for it and some zippered pockets for the next trip!

Special shout out and thanks to the crew running the train this morning for retrieving my iPhone. I lost the phone on the last hill before the final helix on Diamondback this morning during ERT. Luckily my friend saw it float from my pocket so we knew where I lost it. We walked back the exit for the Crypt and there it was laying in the grass between the crypt exit and the railroad tracks. The crew that was preparing to open the train for the day was kind of enough to get it for me and the most unbelievable thing is it did not have a scratch on it, just a little dirt...This proves that KI has some great people working there and the iPhone is hard to kill.

I am divided on this. I would love FOC to get a new theme and especially a new name. I would also like to see the log flume be incorporated back into Rivertown (although I fear this could hurt ridership from younger riders). However Reptar has really nice theming and I am afraid they would not retheme it as nice is it is currently. I am sure what ever they decied to do there will be trade offs but overall it will be nice.

the keel boats and phantom theater.

Great pictures as always Beast1979!

same for me. I can not make it until next Sunday so I will be sleeping fine tonight. I hope all you guys going tomorrow have a great day though. It sounds like the weather will be awesome!

Thank you Shaggy and Steveo for the descriptions of the original entrance and exit. Does anyone out there have any photos or video of this you would share?

Yes, Skateboards and BMX bikes come to mind. Maybe they will eventually phase the music out and make it an extreme sports park.

Wow that is terrible. I know they were pressed for time on coming up witht he name but I think anyone of us here could have done better than that.

It does not go upside down. It is more of a famly oriented coaster rather than a really thrilling one but it is fun.

I saw that too. I figured they were employees. One of the perks of the job I guess.

I remembered the one building being the game, but the one in question for some reason I have no recollection of. It's probably the angle of the webcam. It makes everything look a lot different than what it looks like from the ground.

I was thinking that building would be for the on ride photos but i have no idea for sure.

The Beast!

I remember doing an upcharge lazer tag like thing back in the early 90's where you shot a targets rather than each other. Was that in this building or somewhere else? I seem to think it was in a different location. Anyone remember this? I do remember sitting on the floor and watching a movie in there when I was a kid back in the 80s but i have no idea what it was about.

thanks for the reminder, but I am speaking of the following Sunday.

I hope you're not talking about the 19th!? Assuming not, you could process a little before the park opens so long as the parking tolls are open and you're on the KI grounds with peeps waiting to still get in. I am planning on getting mine processed the same day. I hope they are not very busy.

http://www.themeparkinsider.com/flume/200903/1129/ come on guys and vote. Beast is getting smashed right now.

just turned 30.

Do you guys think that the park will keep this website up once Diamondback opens? I would like to see it stay and would love to see similar web pages for all the major attractions with specs, constrcution photos, etc like DB has.

Other than Flight Deck, I think the new names sound just fine. Sure Drop Tower and Invertigo are pretty generic but they sound pretty good to the GP. I actually really like the name of The Crypt. Flight Deck on the other hand sounds pretty dumb to me. I wish we got Afterburn.

thank you Interpreter, very good article.
