McSalsa Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 OK, a very obvious poll that has yet to made- which of KI's coasters do you think was/is the best? This includes former rides such as The Bat, King Cobra, etc. too. Roller Coasters only, no flatrides like Delirium or Drop Tower, etc. are included. Quote
skaterboy22101 Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 I think SoB. It was the first ever wodden hypercoaster, and it was the only looping wooden coaster in the world. It's the fastest and tllest and has the steepest drop for a wooden coaster. Quote
Justin_M17 Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Technically Diamondback was never at PKI, and I highly doubt it ever will be. But my vote goes for The Beast. Hands down. Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 I have to say I like Flight of Fear the best. Even right now. Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Bavarian Beetle and Demon never graced PKI either, for that matter... Quote
McSalsa Posted May 20, 2009 Author Posted May 20, 2009 Oops! The P was a typo, sorry. The poll SHOULD have read "...to grace KI." My bad. Although this does include rides added during the PKI years... Quote
Justin_M17 Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Oops! The P was a typo, sorry. The poll SHOULD have read "...to grace KI." My bad. Although this does include rides added during the PKI years... Lol, I figured as much. Just messin' with ya But still, the best coaster to grace (P)KI would have to be The Beast. Quote

McSalsa Posted May 21, 2009 Author Posted May 21, 2009 Huh. I know it's only 10-20 minutes into this poll, but nothing other than Beast, SOB, or Diamondback has any votes yet... Quote
McSalsa Posted May 21, 2009 Author Posted May 21, 2009 Huh. I know it's only 10-20 minutes into this poll, but nothing other than Beast, SOB, or Diamondback has any votes yet... Never mind...Racer got a vote! (That ride is pretty good BTW...) Quote
skaterboy22101 Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Mabye I should of voted for 'Scream Demon. I mean it was the first shuttle loop coaster in the world. Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 It was what? I think not. The first Arrow launched loop coaster is a far cry from the first shuttle loop coaster in the world. Anton, anyone? Quote
McSalsa Posted May 21, 2009 Author Posted May 21, 2009 And 30 minutes into the poll, Beast is winning with 5 votes, Diamondback is 2nd with 3. I won't be shocked if those two stay #1 and #2... Quote
Beast1979 Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 The Beast. Without a doubt. Can you say tallest, fastest, longest coaster at the time, and longest wooden still to this day? And still 30 years later, still going strong! The Beast is without question, the most innovative coaster at Kings Island, and set a new benchmark in roller coaster history. Quote

Couldn't agree more. Quote
McSalsa Posted May 21, 2009 Author Posted May 21, 2009 ...wow, Fairly Odd Coaster gets a vote! I know it's a good family coaster, but it got votes before popular rides like Flight of Fear and Vortex... I wonder if after a month, will there be any rides without votes... Quote
Hoeter Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 I voted for The Beast. Even 30 years after it was built, it still is the longest wooden coaster in the world, and is my favorite when it comes to night rides. I was going to vote for Little Bill's Giggle Coaster. Man, that 8 foot drop scares the living daylights out of me! Quote
McSalsa Posted May 21, 2009 Author Posted May 21, 2009 I was going to vote for Little Bill's Giggle Coaster. Man, that 8 foot drop scares the living daylights out of me! ......................... ..................oh! Quote
McSalsa Posted May 21, 2009 Author Posted May 21, 2009 Huh. 1 hour in, and I can already tell what ride is going to win (unless a ton of ride-x fans other than Beast show up)- The Beast. But, I am a little shocked that some rides that usually have really long lines, like Flight of Fear, have 0 votes...and yet Fairly Odd Coaster has a vote! Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 You could say that's....fairly odd. Scooby Doo and Beastie 2! Quote

The Interpreter Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Adventure Express Indeed, we saw that coming! Quote
BavarianBeatle Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 I voted for The Beast, of course. Riding it for the first few years was quite an experience. I remember being in awe as a 10 year old at the thought of riding the world's largest coaster!!! And remember that it broke records held, at the time by Gemini. Every time I go to CP and ride Gemini, which I find to be a fun little ride, I am still amazed at how high The Beast "raised the bar". And the fact that KI had people working for them who were capable of desingning and building it without modern computers or high priced engineering firms, is simply miraculous!!!! Quote
KIfan1980 Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 I felt guilty doing it, but I didn't vote for The Beast. Maybe I'm too influenced by the newness of Diamondback, but given a choice to ride just one ride at KI ... that was how I made my decision. This doesn't take anything away from the awesomeness of The Beast, it just speaks to how cool DB is in my mind. Quote
