silver2005, I used to think that. But after watching Coastercrutchfield vs KIPR's POVs all winter, I actually like the music. Guess reality will be coming next week, when I do not have to rely on POVs!

If the life hill music is not playing on The Beast, would it be considered rude to ask a Ride Op to check on it? Which music do you like more: The previous music that had The Beast growling, or the current music which is loud, but stops when you are about 60% up the lift hill?

I had a two day trip to Kings Island last July. The first day was Thursday, and most rides were a five minute wait (except Backlot Stunt Coaster and Flight of Fear (which I did not ride as it makes me nauseous, but my friends did.)) The next day, the park was much more crowded and my 2nd day companion and I shelled out for Fast Lane, which included The Beast. I have to admit, I loved bypassing the lines on Friday. I have noticed that since adopting Fast Lane, lines seem much longer. However, in 2014, I must have chosen perfect days because Fast Lane was not needed except the one Friday when we bought them. I even had to wait longer to get food at The Chicken Shack than friends had to wait to ride Banshee (this ride too, makes me nauseous). I am dismayed that The Beast has been added to Fast Lane Plus this year. It will make more money for Cedar Fair, but I would much rather be selfish and see Banshee, Flight of Fear and Firehawk on Fast Lane Plus. Edited to correct my typos of Fast Pass, and Fast Plus Plus. Oh and Fast Pay.

I'm looking forward to meeting other enthusiasts. It will be my first such event I have ever attended. I hope to make some new friends, so I will have some people to hang out at Kings Island with and do not have to beg friends to make the trip up there, who do not share my love of all things Kings Island.
