Being more of a lemonade and fruit punch 'kind of guy' I personally prefer Coke over Pepsi. I LOVE their Hi-C and Minute Maid much better than Pepsi's competitor juice drink Tropicana. I definitely want Kings Island to stay with Coke, and if not all CF parks to have Coke. Coke drinks seem to pack a much bigger 'punch' than Pepsi.

^I am booking it out of here! Where's the door?!?!

Whatever. Say what you want but in my book The Beast will always have FOUR tunnels. I always kind of thought of it a tunnel on top of a tunnel, so that's why to me it's two tunnels. Yeah I know, I just thought that the video would make my post more interesting.

Well, no not really. The train passes under the over lapping helix track into the tunnel FIRST. Then the second passing through the tunnel passes over the prior track. This is what it looks like...

You pass through the helix tunnel twice though, wouldn't that be classified as FOUR tunnels? I'd think so but then again I may be wrong.

I'm sorry but I just really hate ranking wood and steel TOGETHER. I just can't find a way to really compare them. To me both wood and steel offer a completely different ride experience. So I'm just going to rank mine seperately. I just can't seem to break the 'material barrier', if you will... Top Ten Steel Coasters: 1. Maverick 2. Nitro 3. Millennium Force 4. Top Thrill Dragster 5. Diamondback 6. Fahrenheit 7. California Screamin' 8. Flight of Fear 9. Space Mountain 10. Storm Runner Top Ten Wood Coasters: 1. The Voyage 2. El Toro 3. The Beast 4. Lightning Racer 5. The Legend 6. Son of Beast 7. Tornado 8. The Comet 9. The Raven 10. The Racer

The Beast has FOUR tunnels, not three; and was built by KECO, not PTC. BLSC is a double-launched coaster, not a triple-launched coaster. Diamondback is 230' tall, its drop is 215'. It is also just plain silly to call DB a 'hyper viper'. Firehawk goes 51 mph, not 50 mph. I think that's all of them, I just love to knitpick and point out these such vacuous and careless mistakes!

I'm glad you enjoyed El Toro. I can understand not being blown away by coasters like Dark Knight or maybe Bizarro but you gotta love El Toro! I don't know anyone who has ridden El Toro that was not completely BLOWN AWAY.

Wait, what did he get booted for? Just curious.

You're right. Why, those ones are so popular that they haven't dispatched an empty "train" on those rides in years!

"Best incline and descent"? Were they trying to say "Steepest incline of descent"?

Easy: Diamondback Beast Firehawk Flight of Fear

The worst rollercoaster I ever rode would probably be Sidewinder at Hersheypark. Ugh, no wonder Vekoma went bankrupt.

Just got back from Holiday World. It was a lot of fun! We stayed at the Santa's Lodge the night before(which was only about 2 minutes from Holiday World). We got up early and got there at the 9:30 opening. The first thing me and my friends did was run to The Voyage. And It was a walk-on! It was pretty awesome having arguably the greatest roller coaster ever built mostly all to ourselves. The ride was amazing! We rode about 7 times and then it started to really hurt. No, I wouldn't exactly call the ride rough. It's just that it's about a minute and a half and non-stop twists, turns, and lots of lateral g's. After that we grabbed a free drink from a nearby Pepsi Oasis and headed to Gobbler Getaway. It was an amusing ride but there weren't many targets to shoot at. After that we headed to The Legend and it was closed, but we only had to wait a couple of minutes for it to open. So we went on, and it was great! The howl at the top of the lift hill really got me. After Legend, we walked to Raven and waited 15-20 minutes. Although there weren't many people in line, it moved quite slow. (Just 1 of the 2 trains were running) After riding Raven me and my friends were a little dissapointed as it was very short. I guess if we would've ridden Raven before Legend and Voyage we would have thought it was better. So anyways it's about 1 'o' clock so we decide it's time to eat. We ate at the Goblin Burgers in the Halloween area and it was very good. After we ate we decided to head to the waterpark. The first ride we ride is Pilgrim's Plunge. My mom managed to build up the courage to ride so she rode with us. It was a great ride (the elevator lift was a little scary). After that, my friends and I ride Bakuli. It was fun. Then, we head to Wildebeest, but It was closed! So head to Mammoth and wait in a REALLY LONG line. Although the line did move quick for a waterslide. I bet if Wildebeest would have been open the line for Mammoth would have been half as long. But Mammoth was worth the long wait, I loved the hills and the tunnels, even though the water was cold. After that, we ride ZOOMbabwe. A a great ride as well. Then we ride Zinga twice, and in my opinion it was better than Mondo Monsoon. You go way higher of the wall than MM. Then we ride Watubee which was a walk-on. And eventually at 5:30 the waterpark closed. So we hurried to the dry park for an extra hour to ride The Voyage. One thing I noticed is that on the sides of the station building, has the Amusement Today Golden Ticket Award logo saying "Voted Best Roller Coaster on the Planet!". Now I know The Voyage was rated best wood coaster. But is it actually considered the BEST of steel and wood? I mean I would think so but maybe not. Anyways, Holiday World is a great park. It is very clean and the workers are friendly. I don't think I saw a piece of trash on the ground all day. We enjoyed the free drinks. It really saves a lot of time and money not having to pay $4 drink and not having to wait in a slow-moving concession line. It's a shame I didn't get to ride Wildebeest as I was really looking forward to it. Down below are reviews 1 to 10 ratings of different rides and aspects of the park. The Voyage 10/10- My new favorite coaster! (sorry Maverick) Incredible roller coaster experience. Half the time, you're not even in your seat. There is so much airtime and moments of crazy, fun, lateral g's that your flying up, down, and sideways in your seat. Oh yeah, and the 90 degree banked turns are insane! Best. Coaster. Ever. The Legend 9/10- Another great coaster by Holiday World. I loved the howling wolf sound effect at the top of the lift hill and the tunnel at the bottom of first drop, and that helix turn about midway through the ride seems to last forever! The Raven 7/10- Didn't really live up to the hype. Pilgrim's Plunge 9/10- The drop was great! Mammoth 9/10- A great water-coaster. I loved the hydromagnets! ZOOMbabwe 9/10- A fun, mysterious tube slide! Zinga 8.5/10- Very fun as well, you seem to go a lot higher of the walls than most other half-pipe funnel slide. Bakuli 8.5/10- Also very fun, the bowl was interesting. Park Cleanliness 10/10- As I said before I did not see a piece of trash on the ground all day. There were also none of those of those black marks on the concrete that you would find at Kings Island. Employee Friendliness 9.5/10- All the workers were very friendly and you could actually conversations with some of them! Quality of Food 10/10- As far as I know the food was very good. The chicken tenders at Goblin burgers were delicious! Overall Park 9.5/10 I managed to snap a couple of pictures while I was there.

Personally, I liked the old design of the maps better.

Would it kill you to use proper capitalization and punctuation?

I have another question. I noticed that Mammoth has six-passenger rafts. Does anyone know what the minimum number of riders you need for it? I'd hate to not be able to ride because my group only has 3 or 4 people.

Thanks! EDIT: Uh oh, I just made a one-word post.

Anways, I'm going to Holiday World next Tuesday with 3 of my friends and was wondering if there are any MUST RIDE flats there because I'd like to get as many rides as I can on the bigger rides like Voyage, Raven, Wildebeest, etc. Any answers will be greatly appreciated! (I hope I posted this in the right forum)

On the sign above the Pet Day Care Center it has the Paramount style font that says "Kings Island".

I think we have The Beast to blame for raising such an illegitimate punk for a son!

^Oh yes, it can. It's just I'm not talking about those rides right now.

I just wish the line FOF wouldn't move so SLOW. It evens moves slower now especially with Fast Lane. If each train on FOF only fits 20 riders to begin with, it makes it worse when for each of those trains to have 5 or 6 Fast Laners. That cuts the hourly capcity of the ride a ton!

I think that either an Intamin Blitz, Intamin Giga, or B&M Dive-Machine will take Son of Beast's place. Perhaps maybe a Screamin' Swing will also be included in the "future park expansion". But I don't really know; anything could happen.
