footballfreak Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 The ride opt that was describing the fireworks on Friday night was caitlin. She is awesome.

CoastersRZ Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 And just so you know it is "ride op" as in ride operator, not ride opt. Just saying, as someone who has been a ride operator for seven season at Coney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron88stang Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Beast seemed faster to me Sunday morning than it did Saturday night, particularly the middle section with the tunnels. I could have swore the second trim was off Sunday morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterFreak45 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 The Beast was amazing, but I know now why everyone says the brakes before the helix ruin them. We were going to slow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 The long brake shed ruins the ride for me. If the slowing was spread throughout the whole thing, I wouldn't have a problem with it, but the sudden slowdown at the end just seems kind of strange.
