Nick317 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Hello everyone! My 1st trip to KI was a blast. Overall i give the park high marks! I was very impressed. First off i just need to talk about my Beast experience. That coaster is just WOW! My daytime ride was fantastic but the night time ride.... i have no words on how to describe it. The Beast is now hands down my fav. wooden coaster. I have never said Holy Sh*t before on a roller coaster before and that is exactly what i said after coming out of the 2nd tunnel after the first lift. The only time i was little dissapointed was when we hit those breaks in the straight away but after the speed picked up again i forgot about it. I can only imagine what it would be like w/out that break especially @ night. I just cant stop thinking about this coaster. Anyways moving on. The Italian Job was fun & my 1st coaster of the day. SOB was fun -- not very bumpy like i thought/read it would be. The only thing i didnt care for was the new part of track where the loop was. When i saw it i was like oohh maybe some airtime but nope none -- i was sitting i think in the 4th car 1st row. Top Gun was good but too short. I enjoyed Adventure Express. The Racer was great -- especially since it was my 1st time riding a coaster backwards. Vortex was fun as well -- i think that was the only coaster where i said ouch and that was in the turn around after the 1st drop. I know i said almost everything was fun but it really was. The park itself was very clean -- not one employee was rude and i even have to thank one that was working on Vortex for actually asking me how my day was going and if i was enjoying the park -- that is great customer service -- Vortex was down for about 10 mins due to a restraint problem -- the ride op apologized a few times - he was just very nice and it made the day even better. Thanks for reading this & i know its a bit long but i was very excited to share my 1st experience @ KI on here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I always like to hear first-time impressions of parks! I'm glad you had a great time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIBeast Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 ^Me too! Glad you had a great day at the park. The Beast is still my favorite wooden coaster! Night rides are the best. You know, I always love it when I can interact a little with the employees. It's not that I expect it...but conversation usually happens whether they are asking me about how my day has been or I am wearing a coaster shirt.
