KIBeast

I would expect more camera action, once the project has been announced. Not likely for 2017 considering RMC has stated no new projects will open for 2017. I would also add that it seems to me that an announcement would have been made to push season pass sales as well.

I enjoyed Son of Beast. I rode it with and without the loop. Typically, if you come back to the station with no riders in line, you can ask for a re-ride. I tried this a few times on SOB and was never allowed a re-ride. Ryan's post pretty much sums up everything there is to know about Son of Beast. I just wish they would remove the station if there are no plans for that area.

Awesome pic! Spring can't get here soon enough

I rode it with my niece one time. It was a pretty cool ride, but way too slow loading.

I visited twice this year. Have plans to get a platinum pass for next year, so I expect that number to increase.

1) I wasn't referring to CF as a whole, only Cedar Point.. 2) Most in those lists consists of conversions, not installations. So, the only thing that has come back to back was Wicked Twister and Top Thrill Dragster.

^And under different leadership. Bet on Meanstreak 2.0 for 2018.

I am not aware of any time period during their history where there has been back to back coaster installations. No saying it can't happen, but it's highly unlikely. Introducing the longest "Wooden" roller coaster in the world! From Maverick to Millenium Force. It's Mean Streak R3BORN!!Isnt the track that has been arriving RMC's I Box track? Yes it's I Box!

I would say it's pretty obvious at this point that RMC is working on a project at Cedar Point. Their track has been spotted on site.

A lot of folks are saying that there is too much structural work to be done for it to be open for 2017. Plus, with Valravn opening this year, it's not likely Cedar Point would get another new one for 2017. I'm thinking that sounds correct.

It was just tallest and fastest at the time. Interested to see what RMC will do with it.

Saw a pic of this particular ride. The planks on the conveyor belt look dangerously far apart, unlike other similar rides. The raft at the top of the lift got stuck and the other on the conveyor ran into the stuck raft while the conveyor continued to push the raft on the lift, causing it to flip. Aren't there ride ops monitoring the lift that could have stopped it?

Great pic of the first drop!

Wow. Seems every time KI gets a new ride, people come out of the woodwork to complain. Yet, you'll be standing in line with me and then raving about it after it's over. KI has definitely scored big with Mystic Timbers. I dig the name, the layout, and I look forward to a nice surprise when it does open.

Rode Racer backwards and I loved it. I have a hard time believing ridership was the problem as well. But, I also do not know the numbers per side either.

To add to that, it's my understanding that GCI has proven that biggest isn't always the best. I hear Thunderhead delivers a great ride. I love the wood coasters that Kings Island has. Racer is credited for re-starting the coaster revolution and rightly so. The Beast is still one of the best. It delivers a great night ride. However, I have noticed that MT has some low elements that go through some wooded area which I think looks very Beast-like. So, this may be an awesome night ride as well.

I'm going to go for the Platinum Pass as well. Mystic Timbers looks great and I am excited for my son's first visit to Cedar Point.

Personally, I'm enjoying the post Kinzel era. Still installing great coasters, but also there is a better focus on family installations as well.

This experience alone will cause me to alter my traveling plans. Pray that I don't alter them any more.

Plus, from what I understand, X2 (in its' original form) had its' share of problems. I do like their offerings. I would love to see someone take a chance on them.

Sad to see it go as I rode it under CF management and it was a great ride. My fave was the Villain. This needed to be done. Long overdue.

Can I get in line now? This will be my first GCI and I have always admired Thunderhead. My brother said TH is really good, so I am expecting the same from Mystic Timbers.

Glad you enjoyed your visit. I was most certainly surprised by how fun Slingshot is. The miniature golf is excellent.

I paid $80 for two tickets to KI just this year. How is that about the same as $65 for one?

I love the speed, the airtime on the subsequent hills, and the overbanked turns have really phenomenal forces. Plus, I love the fact that on the last overbanked turn, you're still going like 65mph.
