Slide rules and computer programs? Jeff House? Jeff Gramke co-designed The Beast and used a slide rule. Adam House designed Mystic Timbers with computer programming. The wording on Jeff House's post sounds like some of the original signage for The Beast. The plot thickens. Maybe B&M is somehow incorporating the principles of wood coaster design of into this GiGa??? Maybe it will be related to The Beast in some way? So many have said they would ****NEVER**** tie into SOB, and if they are, then truly it could be #TEOTWAWKI for those people! Let the foolhardy beware!

What If it was an Intamin prefab?

I choose blue. However, for the life of me, I can't understand why ours is so different than Racer 75. That ride is as smooth as butter. Irish or Belgian butter at that, not cheap PSSSST! butter from Kroger. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

That's old news. I said that last year on here somewhere. Read, old man! Lol Beeastfarmer, hoping the admin doesn't ban him for poking fun. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

I actually think they have done a good job with restoring some of the theming on this ride. The spears work, the cranking noises on the first lift work, the statues all work, the eyes are lit up etc. I have heard the jungle noises consistently. I have not heard the "woosh" sounds in the tunnels since 2014, though. I think it needs some cosmetic things done like paint, closing the door on the 2nd lift, trimming the poison ivy from the near miss columns, and replacing the falling stuff from the chicken wire. Also, some props in the station. I don't think it needs a third train.

Shhhhhh! @Maverick44 will get all excited about what is supposed to be a surprise for him!

What if King Cobra weren't torn down?

The worst coaster I have been on is Hurler at Carowinds. CC at C was a FUN coaster! -
Technically, I guess my first roller coaster ride was The Wildcat at Joyland Park in Lexington, KY many years before I became sentient. But I was an ovum and an idea back then. My first ride as a complete human being was The Beastie.

What if the "W" is not really a "W", but an "M?" The other posters are coasters that go upside down. The "W" could very well be inverted.

I have to chuckle to myself because many people had their undergarments in a wad because of the lack of a teasing. Now this.

Is that what happened to you@Maverick44? Traumatized by TOGO and became an Intamin fanboy? Lol Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk -
So this is new, at least to me. In the FOF plaza, they are announcing codes: blue, yellow, green and red. All end with "please report to hangar 18." Is this new? Also, on KMAA, the Zodiac signs say highest grade and trim brakes...highest KI coaster and trolling? [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

23: NV. For me, that is nausea and vomiting. LOL. I can only ride FOF lights on.

Taken on surface level, this could allude to the effect that Invertigo gives to many riders, and even the name of the ride itself. On another level, both Invertigo and Firehawk go/went backwards and had inversions. Will this be the first GiGa to go backwards and/or feature an inversion(s)? Please, do not let it go backwards!
-
As an RN, take this for what you will: Invertigo is a play on the word vertigo, which is dizziness. Oscillopsia is a condition where you vision can appear shaky and blurry. Syncope is dizziness, which can often lead to falls. A negative Romberg test will result in falling. MRI is performed in a confined space, and can cause dizziness. Posturography is also a test used to measure balance. All of these are tied into the brain, which is pictured on the poster. I can't see much on the Firehawk poster, but I see either EKG or EEG rhythm strips. One is cardiac, the other is brain. I can't determine the tests, because the image is too blurry.

But we don't have any Intamin coasters at KI? [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787] Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Not in all cases. If you have a park that admits 100 guests and the price is 500/ticket, they will gross $50,000. If another park admits 200 guests and the price is 200/ticket, they will gross $40,000.00. The 2nd park has increased spending for the extra 100 guests. (Not a perfect example, but it works.) And for BGW, I thought it had lower attendance than KI? In your scenario, if KI has higher attendance, it should follow that the restrooms are cleaner. If they add more restrooms, wouldn't that stretch the already sketchy resources they devote the current 9? (Please note, I do not think KI has sketchy care for the restrooms. As has been discussed ad nauseum here, patrons could do much to solve the problem and the park can do some short and long term things.)

Why would The Beast return? It's never left. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

I hope I didn't come across as being a male genital! I hope my suggestions for park improvement were not interpreted that way. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

I know I have made some posts in this thread, but I am not expecting Disney level service at Kings Island. But I do get an excellent value for my money. I do think some relatively minor enhancements can help the restroom situation. I cannot speak for the women's restrooms, of course, but in general, the men's rooms are pretty bad. I do know at Kentucky Kingdom, with proportionally less guests than KI, the restrooms are ice cold, which circulates the air and reduces the stench down to normal public restroom levels. Of course, if the public would use proper restroom etiquette, then the problem at KI would lessen too. But it's hard enough for some guys to even follow proper urinal protocol, so I remain jaded. http://urinalman.com/

Under my proposal, you would...sort of. All that Intamin crap steel melted into a glorious B&M[emoji2398]. [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787] Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

You know, it has almost been an anthem around here that "just because they've done it one way in the past doesn't mean they're going to do it this time or in the future." So maybe, just maybe... That's what they're doing this time. Maybe we've had teasers in plain sight this season and last season. Maybe the barrels in tower gardens last year actually meant something. Maybe all the barrels that were put out for Grand Carnivale that contain flowers mean something. Or maybe not. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

What CP is going to do:. Leave Steel Vengeance. Take down TTD, Maverick, and MF, melt the steel down and send it to be reused to CSF. They'll build Magnum XXXL 325[emoji2398] by B&M. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
