BTW, the chants and cheers they do before the ride really get you pumped up. "Are you ready to ride the longest wooden roller coaster in the world?" and "Are you ready to ride the best ride in the park?", and finally "Enjoy your ride...on The Beast!!!". Classic. Aside from them, only the Diamondback and Racer crews even attempted to pump up the crowd like this the day I went.

Gotta love that Beast crew! Part of the reason the ride is so good.

OK, who slammed DB with a poor rating!?!? THEN SLAMMED A "CALL 911" PAIN-O-METER!

Update: I AM KIC LOCAL NOW!!! ...and no one notices...

Oh, for anyone wanting to know "some other B&M Hypers" for Question 3...I haven't ridden any of these but... Behemoth at Canada's Wonderland Goliath at Six Flags Over Georgia Titan at Six Flags Great Adventure Note, Magnum XL 200 is NOT a B&M Hyper. It is a Hyper, but not a B&M.

Yeah I know, but I have to have the "complete collection"...although my poll does allow you to rate DB's roughness... I may get 0 votes, however, because of this poll...

I know, but I have to have a complete set for my polls...It's just me. And I do ask a interesting 3rd question...

Same as the last two (go rate Beast and SOB if you have yet to do so). This time it's Diamondback. My ratings: Phenomenal, No Pain, Only B&M Hyper.

I have decided to create these polls of this kind in trios and am about to create one for Diamondback, as it would be the logical choice as it is brand new and already pretty famous. This poll and the SOB poll are not closed. Please rate and comment on these rides, let people know what you think of them!

UPDATE: After voting here and leaving comments, I have now created a poll for the original Beast. Go see it too if you so desire. THIS POLL IS NOT YET CLOSED THOUGH. I STILL WANT MORE SOB VOTES! Even if you don't like it. Comments still welcome too.

Well seeing how fast the SOB poll started getting votes and comments I will go ahead and create one for his dad. This one I have ridden, and will give my ratings: FUN: Phenomenal. I loved The Beast. PAIN-O-METER: No Pain for me... HAUNTED?: Not Sure. I went for a night ride at 9:45 PM or so and saw nothing...it may have been too early though.

Holy Cow, this is crazy...EVERYTHING ON THE LIST GOT VOTES WITHIN 10 MINUTES. This coaster is all over the place as far as fans/haters go...

I figured it out myself, but this is kind of a "pick one" topic.

No I don't, how do I do that? I found out how, but this doesn't seem to be a good multiple choice topic...unless SOB is a inconsistent coaster (smoothish one day, crazy rough the next)...uh-oh, that could be a problem.

No I don't, how do I do that?

Son of Beast is, without any doubt, one of the most famous and controversial roller coasters in Kings Island and one I wish to know a little more about, so I created this poll. If this becomes popular enough I may do more of these for the parks other coasters... PS: I cannot yet vote as I have never ridden SOB myself.

So, it would seem that this awesome loop is the reason Firehawk has such long lines... ...or it is just that bad on capacity.

Then vote for it...I still see a "0" in the votes for Invertigo poll!

What should be another interesting poll, which Kings Island coaster has your favorite inversion? For newbies who do not know, an inversion is anything that goes upside down, aka a loop or corkscrew. This IS NOT A BEST COASTER WITH AN INVERSION POLL. This is strictly among which coaster had the best one/s...ala, if you think SOB sucked but still had the best inversion, vote for it. Just an example. I have never rode Invertigo, King Cobra, Demon, Firehawk, or SOB w/loop so I had to choose between Vortex and Flight of Fear. I voted FOF because I loved the final corkscrew in that ride, and how the ride seemed to be over and then WHAM! All in total darkness... Thanks! Comments welcome.

I was just a LITTLE irritated about the LJs at that point. That conversation was hilarious. No Paintball Nukes!?!? LOL McSalsa, being silly...as usual.

Wait a minute, I rode The Beast for the first time this year and loved the ride...and yet it was a neutered, tamed version? It seemed plenty fast to me...although I found it a bit weird, Red Racer and Flight Deck both seemed to OWN The Beast when it came to speed.

Kings Island isn't 100% accurate on how intense and thrilling their rides are...I added AE to the Thrill Coasters list.

Oh yeah...but isn't that marketed as a family ride? Wait, so is Flight Deck...I'll add AE. PS: That "family" rating for Flight Deck is a joke because that ride is very quick and has some good thrills.

Assuming they only included thrilling non-kiddie roller coasters, I have a good idea in which order they should have the POV videos play on the DVD. Of course, you can bypass it and all, but... #1-The Racer It was KI's first coaster. Showing it first makes sense. Then, the park's non-Diamondback steel coasters and AE... #2-Adventure Express #3-Flight Deck #4-Backlot Stunt Coaster #5-Invertigo #6-Vortex #7-Flight of Fear #8-Firehawk Then The Beast and Sonnie. #9-The Beast #10-Son of Beast (gotta show him after the dad) And finally...the new B&M hyper! #11-Diamondback Just an idea.

If it was a thrill video, I don't think they would include kid rides...but Avatar might still make it, you never know. Crypt is billed as a thrill ride, but we know the truth about that one. It (Avatar) would easily make the kids area video though.
