So? We already have wood coasters and steel coasters, kiddie coasters and a mine train ride...Who says a park can only have one of any given kind?

As Terpy said, The Beast will be exceded. Quite honestly, I could see that happening at our very own Kings Island.

Where exactly do you expect said longest wooden roller coaster to go at KI? KI already had the opportunity to surpass The Beast with SOB. I say it's extremely unlikely.

They actually have a lot of land left. They could make it a terrain coaster, and a great one at that!

As if we don't have a coaster that already does that?

But we could have another one!

What we need is a coaster made of glass.It would shatter all records.

I see what you did there.

I don't know if a new roller coaster is possible. CF can't really use the land that KI has.

Oh, really?

But we could have another one!

That would be........weird. Build a ride just like The Beast, but a bit longer just for the purpose of breaking it's length record.

Imagine how that would go over with the GP!

They largely couldn't care less about records. They would care whether it was a good ride or not, how long the line was, what it costs to get in the park, what the weather was like, etc. I doubt even five percent would care whether or not it were longer than The Beast...

Hey, we already had Timmy's Air Tours, now we also have The Crypt!

Brilliant idea.

Remember, people who live in glass houses.....

...should change in the basement.

I thought I posted in this thread, but I guess not. I was stuck between SOB and The Beast. The Beast. "The biggest, baddest, longest, fastest roller coaster ever," when it debuted. And SOB, still the tallest, fastest wooden roller coaster, and the only looping wooden roller coaster when it opened.

In the end, I decided I had to vote for The Beast though.

Well, it's been a good week or so since I made this poll, and I thank everyone who voted. But, the winners are probably already decided at this point, so here are the Top 3 as of May 26th, 2009:

#3: Son of Beast, 10 VOTES

Wow...this one is actually a bit of a shocker. Who knew a ride that gets slammed so much would actually make the Top 3? Well, it IS the tallest, fastest, and 2nd longest wooden roller coaster in the world...

#2: Diamondback, 26 VOTES

The tallest and fastest of all the roller coasters in the park rampages its way to #2. Diamondback is a sure-fire hit and true B&M perfection. But sadly for it, it has to share the same park as...

#1: The Beast, 47 VOTES

In a recent KICentral video, Tom Rebbie, Owner of Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters Inc. said that there would never be a ride that would ever top The Beast. This poll supports his claim! Since 1979, Kings Island has tried their best to create a coaster that could top this monster. Diamondback, the awesome new B&M Hyper, can't even give The Beast a run as The Beast stands over 20 votes ahead of it. Tom, boy were you right!

Thanks to all who voted. PS: Polls never close...for all I know, I could came back in a year and Diamondback will be winning. But I doubt it.

I voted DB. but in this case, it didn't grace KI. The queue audio is repeating in my head.

The tallest...hiss...fastest...hiss hiss...and meanest coaster....hisss....ever to STRIKE Kings Island.

I voted for The Beast because even though Diamondback is great and i love it, The Beast is a classic coaster and it is still a great ride, even after 30 years.......and its also in the record books...
