fryler87: Funny?? You think this topic is funny??? This is serious biz, here. Snappers are very earnest about their sport. LOL All kidding aside, we really *do* approach the flyers with a serious, albeit FUN, attitude. And yes...you DO have to try it. As for the 'Snappage Police,' the crew is the coolest on the planet (next to the Delirium crew, next to The Beast crew, next to SoB crew, next to...OK! YOU'RE ALL GREAT!). Your biggest cries will undoubtedly come from mouth-gaping on-lookers. Have fun and give it a whirl. Rudder up at ground level, rudder down at highest point and feel your own personal groove to get your snappage going. Good luck! MommaBeast

fryler87: Can you just IMAGINE? I love The Beast, hands down; no matter what. (Oh, I complain about the brakes and the lights in the tunnel, but rest assured: The BEST, uh, I mean, The Beast is my fave all-time coaster for many different reasons). But to put the trains backwards....ahhhhhhhh! That has been a dream of mine for quite some time now. From a technical standpoint, is it possible? Could it work? If so, then PKI....what's the problem? GET THIS PUT INTO ACTION....at least for FEARFEST....!!! Wow! Yes! I'm gettin' goose bumps (or should that be BEAST BUMPS) just thinkin' about the wild ride through the woods! MommaBeast

Bo0BKiNoS: My bad....really. In re-reading my original post, I am deftly unclear. I apologize. Your scarlett designation reminds me of how my workplace handles those that are dismissed (OK...FIRED!) from the company: you get paraded around the 2.75 million square foot facility by golfcart on your way out . I think it's terrible, and lately, they've come under pressure to stop. Maybe that was a bad comparison, but you get my drift. What I meant to ask was this: Why was that tag still following you around after your suspension has obviously been lifted? Whew! THERE! And....you've already answered my question....gloriously, I might add! LOL Thanks, and again...sorry for the confusion. MommaBeast

Hey, 'account suspended poster:' D'UH...yeah, I noticed the 2003 designation, just wondered why there was a need for ME to know you were suspended at one time. Is this your scarlet letter of foul posting, or what? MommaBeast

Heeheeee.... And I've done some tree trimming in my day, too....one hit was so loud and obvious that the faces of those in line woulda made a good MasterCard commercial. Picture this if you will: Day at the Park: $45.00 Lunch/Snacks: $20.00 Seeing the faces in the crowd after your tub WHACKS a nearby tree: PRICELESS! LOL MommaBeast

coasterdime -- I knew you'd show up! And thank you for the warm welcome to the site! You were right...this one's pretty good (and you know I don't stray too far from the 'other' one). You are the SnapMeister ExtraOrdinaire to be sure. Tain't seen nothin' like you or your skills on the tubs---and I've seen some pretty scary snappage! You know your tubs! #9 is a DAWG IMHO right behind #8. And does #7 still have audio?? LOL Thanks for your two pennies.... MommaBeast

I'm typing slower. Is that better for you? MommaBeast, heeding TWO warnings from this poster to 'SLOW DOWN.'

derbeast -- with all (and I do mean ALL) due respect, I've yet to see anyone out- HOP/SNAP/BOUNCE/FLY another poster here who will remain anonymous (unless of course he comes forward---AND YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE). I swore this guy was gonna bounce right on over to Vortex last summer. And I've seen some good ones. I bet you two are snappin' buds....seems everyone who flies knows everyone else who flies. MommaBeast, whose little'uns can snap like there's no tomorrow --- to the point of shrieks from bystanders!!

If you can 'say sh*t' then how come you're not SAYING it? LMLO! MommaBeast

MommaBeast *loves* the employees, and she would never give in to violence. Ok, maybe on that OTHER board with a few choice people, but never, EVER here. These guys are crackin' me up....and you want me to 'fight' them??? Haahaahaaa MommaBeast

For pure flyin', snappin' enjoyment, which tub is your fave and why? MommaBeast, who says the crew @ the FLYERS ROX!

Reading these replies beats 'King of the Hill' episodes (and I really like those). LMBO!!!! The sex post vs. the word scramble post is just another one of those sly ways *they* have of weeding out newbies...I just know it! MommaNoid...er... ParaMomma...uh, dangit! I mean, MommaBeast LMBO

LMBO!!!!! Didn't your Momma ever tell you pointing wasn't NICE??? Truly laughing outloud, MommaBeast

I know I'm new, but for an 'account suspended til November 23, 03,' you sure post alot! LOL Haahaaa Why does that keep popping up, btw? You're obviously posting, so your account is not suspended or inactive. More FON-cusion, I see. So this is how you weed out the newbies on your board, eh? Hoping we'll just quietly go away so the board remains an exclusive 500-or-more-posts MEMBERS ONLY forum, right? Ala Dana Carvey, "Well...isn't that special?" Just kidding, MommaBeast

NO! 7 feet tall?? You miss out on all the rides, no? That would seriously BITE. MommaBeast

Excellent topic! Here's my $.02: (And I can personally attest to having done ALL of these) You might be a coaster freak if: when sitting in a restaurant minding your own business, your son drags his steak knife's serrated edge along the rim of his china plate and immediately the sound is recognized by all of us as the clank-clank-clank of SoB's noisy lift chain. when rising early in the morning to get to the park ASAP, your daughter looks at her 'bedhead' and says, "Look Mom! ______'s lift hill!" as she points to a thick strand of hair that is sticking up on her head in the shape of the St. Louis Arch. (coaster left blank because this is, afterall, a PKI website!). your son has flashes of imaginary coaster rails appearing before his very eyes (this just happened over the weekend. My son explained it as COASTER FEVER hitting its apex. We need a fix baaaaaaad! ). while getting a fountain drink, the sound of the fluid pouring/stopping/pouring in the cup made my youngest son think of the 'release'/hissing/whooshing sound of certain coasters (FoF being one of them...another famous record-breaking one elsewhere) and the obvious one: you actually enjoy reading other people's coaster-freakish-ness and then add some of your own! Honestly, the funniest BEST sign of coasterfreak that I have ever witnessed was the guy who said the only pictures he has of his family at his house are ON-RIDE PHOTOS! Nothing professional, mind you....only ON-RIDES! I split a side reading that one. He was dead serious, and proud as a pancake. God Bless him, I say. Great, fun post! MommaBeast

Ooh! I'll get this site down pat, yet! CoasterRZ: thanks for welcoming me to the site. Didn't want to forget my manners and not acknowledge your kindness. M & M Productions - again, TY for the welcome. This looks to be a pretty good site---not like some other sites that let just *ANYONE* post and bash at will...haahaaa MommaBeast

Italianchef ~ wouldn't something NEW and different be just what the doctor ordered for The Beast? Ahhh....I can dream, can't I? MommaBeast

Steve: I am an idiot! And my newbie greenness is showing so much I feel like an alien! LOL LOL NOW I see that HIS reply (welcoming me) was off-topic. Maybe I should just go to bed now.... Thanks for the welcome!! It *IS* appreciated. And about that backwards BEAST....painful? NEVER! Haahaaahaaa.....

Thank you for the warm welcome to the board. Off-topic? I thought the original question was "What do you think they're doing to The Beast?" Perhaps I should have been clearer in my post. Maybe they're fixing the tunnel/light-age problem. The other stuff was wishlist fluff. Sorry... MommaBeast

I found the "REPLY" button!! Ok, don't ask...(newbie to this site, still trying to feel my way around).... Anywhooooo....finally a topic I can add my $.02 worth to. Here's what I would love to see for The Beast: 1. KILL the lites in the tunnels! Ah, but of course, this is a no-brainer. 2. Remove the added brakes and restore this BEAST to its youthful days, where riders tore thru the treetops at breakneck speed and learned the true meaning of white-knuckled rides. 3. Turn it around backwards! Yes...turn that bad boy around ala Racer. Can you just imagine?! This is my wishlist for my namesake -- if I think of others, I'll add 'em. MommaBeast
