notice how i said " every coaster " not flat rides and Dino's.

Replace every coaster addition today with b&m and that's what it would have been if Matt Ouimet was in charge during the paramount takeover. I also believe more parks would stand out from one another.

SOB smooth as glass hahaha, who knows maybe we are seeing the demise of B&M.

How can anyone complain about a little shuffling on a steel coaster? Especially a B&M coaster for crying out loud.. Take a ride on The Racer that has real shuffling.

I would have called up Intamin for prefabricated track, i would have replaced the chain lift with a cable lift, the first drop would have been much steeper there would have been a quick airtime hill before the second hill that turns 90 degrees over into the rose bowl like texas giant. The rose bowl would bank to the point of being 90 degrees at the bottom both helixes would be enclosed like The Beast. After the rose bowl the train would take a 90 degree turn into a short bunny hop speed hill, then the train would hit the MCBR after that drop down into the loop, after the loop have the helixes both banked at 90 degrees and enclosed, the rest of the ride would remain the same up to that point expect with prefabricated track. With these additions Son of Beast would be as glassy smooth as Diamondback, except Son of Beast would be much more forceful.. Kings Island could of had a winner on there hands, but they washed there hands of the problems instead of giving the coaster a real chance.

we would not have that problem if we had millennium force.

exactly why i think its great to have a variety of coaster manufactures in one park, each one gives a different experience it would be boring to have all b&m coasters.

b&m folks should wear protection while riding on Millennium force i ended up catching intaminitis from it... I have no regrets to this day.

Carowinds is getting a b&m giga most likely at that price tag the last intamin giga was a cool 25mill. Thank god it isn't Kings Islands giga SHEW! Id take a b&m invert over a b&m giga any day... vHopefully with the two B&M installments Kings Island has, they will be ok with leaving the comfort zone and call up intamin!

if intamin world got millenium force, it would have the same capacity as Diamondback as well as great reliability. One thing millenium force has that Diamondback doesn't, is in its name FORCE!

Kings Island used to be about the ultimate thrill, same goes for Cedar Point, we are now in the B&M age.

how come Kings Island didn't get big revamps for its 40th? Cedar unfair!

the lift on leviathan is the same length as the station and the 200 ft of brakes behind it.

I made a trip to KD last month only to find out when i got to the park I305 was down, I died a little on the inside...

The hardest part of being a ride op would be from boredom with repetitiveness and those awful spiels. That's when ops begin to lose focus and slack and mistakes begin to happen, safety is number one priority but you have to have fun.. Trust me you get a lot of those ops who are bored and don't care.

It would be convenient If Kings Island was to get a Intamin giga, it wouldn't need to travel to Cedar Point to get my fix.

I manually operated Baba Looey's Buggies when i was a kid, edited because i forgot to include Les Taxis

If there was ever a giga rumor it was during the dick kinzel era, intimidator 305 and leviathan was dick kinzel... If Matt ouimet was to have a giga built it will certainly be a B&M. We wouldn't want a intamin giga it would be too thrilling, for Cedar Fairs liking.

That stinks, Don said since everyone who signed up was in the bucket, not just people who attended, so he was going to pull a name til he got someone who was present. that's okay I'm not too disappointed hopefully whoever was drawled wanted it more than i did. It was just ironic i was thinking to myself before i left that with my luck i would be the first one drawled.

Apparently my name was drawled first for the Banshee media pass... I left the park after the Diamondback tour.

I was thinking the same thing the other day while attending the ki central anniversary I was looking at Diamondback thinking : "why am i not riding Diamondback?"

that's a good question Kings Island needs a millennium force.

I hope we are able to go behind the scenes today, I lost my top gun hat on. My luck

the great thing about The Beast is you can ride it 8 times during the day, but when nighttime comes and you get on its a completely different ride. You ride Diamondback and nothing changes, even at night.

Congo falls is not that great of a water ride, doesnt get you that wet either, tear it down and build shoot the rapids 2 with extra restraints so now you will spend more time upside-down underwater. Just kidding, if they remove Congo falls and replace it with a flat ride, more off to the side and timber wolf can be converted into luminosity and that theatre would come back to life, i don't think many people know its there because its tucked behind Congo falls...
