coaster_junky Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 so now that the season has came to a close i was wondering what ride everyone rode the most this year, and how many times you rode it. (unfortunatly i only made it to Kings Island 7 times this year.) for me it was the red racer with a grand total of 7 laps, followed closely by: Adventure Express:6 Son of Beast:5 and The Beast:4. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Well, for me it was hands down The Beast. I reached my one hundredth circuit on it today, and finished out the year with 102 rides on The Beast for the year. (Which is not the most I`ve ridden it in a year, I had a few more than that back a couple of years ago). Post #6,000! Quote
Kawana Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Even though my ride count doesn't reflect it, I rode The Beast 22 times this year. Probably the most I've ever ridden it. I can't believe I rode SoB around 15 or so times too. That surprises me. Quote
BavarianBeatle Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 We also had well over 100 Beast rides this year. We always finished our nights riding it again and aain,,, 40 park visits, it was always first and last, and last was often as many as 6 times if the line was thin..... Quote

If I lived closer, and had more off days, or at least my evenings free, I'd be right up there with you guys. I probably only made 13-17 visits this year. Ride warriors you are. Quote
violakat03 Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 I didn't keep count (I will next year) but it'd be a close call between Racers and Beast, leaning towards Beast. And Backlot Stunt Coaster was up there too, since it always had the shortest line and it's a fun coaster. I didn't get on Flight of Fear nearly as much as I wanted to. Quote
BavarianBeatle Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Before the end of the day, we did one last Racer ride too..... Quote
UnrealNightmare Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 33 laps on Flight of Fear and 33 laps on The Beast. Quote
Beast1979 Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Viva La BEAST! At Least 30 laps on it. Quote
Coney Islander Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 I rode Flight of Fear most. ( I think) 3 times (I only go once a year to KI) Quote
FOFreak Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 16 rides on Flight of Fear /16 rides on Racer Quote
clbehymer Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 I know that I rode The Beast the most this year, just as every previous year, but I don't know how many times. I've never been really good at keeping track of my count. Maybe that is something that I can try to do next year. Although, it won't be nearly as much as most of you since I live 2 hours away and don't get there that often. Quote
Hoeter Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 This was my first season coming back to KI since 2003. I bought my gold pass with the stimulus check I received. I did 10 laps on The Beast (which I never rode before this season), 5 laps on Red Racer, 1 lap on Blue Racer, 6 laps on Adventure Express, and 1 lap on Firehawk. I did not get to Invertigo, Son of Beast, Flight of Fear, or Vortex this season. Was going to try to if it I had the time. Also, cannot wait for Diamondback. Cannot wait to get my season pass for next year. I know this isn't the appropriate topic to ask this, does anybody know if they are still selling gold passes and for how long? (Mods, feel free to delete) Quote
standbyme Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Because most of my trips have revolved around my young Nephews lately, the ride I have ridden the most this year is probably the train...which is one of my Nephew's favorites...so much for it only being transportation to Boomerang Bay! (My #2 would be SDHC) Quote
Rollercoast19 Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 ^Not a bad year to have most of your rides on the train. I think a lot of us rode the train a lot just to check out Diamondback's progress. I personally don't keep track of how many times I ride a rollercoaster, but it would have to be between The Racer, MV & KI Railroad, or The Beast for most rides this season. Quote
RailRider Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Interesting, but after this topic and various others on the sight. I have noticed a trend regarding folks ridding The Racer more and enjoying it more this year. I find it amazing how an older ride that doesn't get they hype or glory like Beast, Firehawk, SoB, or Vortex, but still is a classic favorite. I would assume riddership was up this year, but I would love to see the exact number compared to last year. Really fits the parks theme for the seasson, Something old becomes something new. Quote

The Interpreter Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 I don't count rides (and never did, really). But I am quite sure I rode Racer more than anything else in the park this year...and that speaks volumes for the re-do Cedar Fair did. In past years, that honor would have definitely gone to the Flying Eagles...and coaster-wise to either Beastie/Fairly Odd Coaster or Flight of Fear...depending on the year... I also got lots and lots of Zephyr rides this year...which makes Terpy a happy Terpy. Quote
skaterboy22101 Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Drop Tower- 84 times along with getting stuck at the top for an hour the first time i rode it this year Quote
faeriewench Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Flight Deck, Adventure Express and Racer (red one). All 3 were great to waste about 15 mins of my life after getting off of work. I only rode Beast like 5 times this year....lol. Quote
coaster_junky Posted November 3, 2008 Author Posted November 3, 2008 I also got lots and lots of Zephyr rides this year...which makes Terpy a happy Terpy. o.k. this might sound funny, but i love roller coasters, heights, and high speeds but i get scared to death when i ride the zephyr, and unless i brought a friend that wants to ride them, i never touch them.

The Interpreter Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Terpy actually prefers YoYos, but Zephyr and other Zierer swings sure are purty! Quote
TOPGUN1993 Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 KI trips- 30 (Top 8) Beast- 71 Adventure Express- 60 Racer Red- 50 Vortex- 37 Eiffel Tower- 24 The Crypt- 22 KI&MVRR- 22 Son of Beast- 19 Quote
The Interpreter Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 ^^^ I don't see no Zephyr rides listed there, Mr. TOPGUN1993! Quote
TOPGUN1993 Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Yeah thats the ONLY ride I didn't ride this season (well unless you count Slingshot, and a few kiddie attractions) It's the only ride I really feel dizzy on. Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 I rode The Racer most with several rides a visit. ALl the other rides I just try to ride once or twice. Quote
The Interpreter Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Those Zephyr Seats hurt me now..... Once upon a time, I barely fit in one, period. That's part of the joy now. Quote
Beast1979 Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 I don't know It's like those seats are designed like boxes and not to accomidate people.... Quote
