McSalsa Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Well seeing how fast the SOB poll started getting votes and comments I will go ahead and create one for his dad. This one I have ridden, and will give my ratings: FUN: Phenomenal. I loved The Beast. PAIN-O-METER: No Pain for me... HAUNTED?: Not Sure. I went for a night ride at 9:45 PM or so and saw nothing...it may have been too early though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Amazing ride, very little pain for the most part, and haunted? HA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McSalsa Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 I have decided to create these polls of this kind in trios and am about to create one for Diamondback, as it would be the logical choice as it is brand new and already pretty famous. This poll and the SOB poll are not closed. Please rate and comment on these rides, let people know what you think of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I_heart_pki Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 The Beast at night is by far the best thing the park has to offer! Especially when there is mist and it is kind of cold. I'm so mad I didn't have a chance to ride it yesterday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondback FOF Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I say it is a phenominal ride. There is a little pain associated with the ride, and I really don't know if The Beast is haunted. I aboslutely love The Beast. It's probably my favorite. I rode it one night and it was only like 60* out and it started to rain slightly. We started going up the lift hill and it started raining hard. We abolutely flew around the tracks. I honestly felt like it was out of control. Riding with the rain hitting you in the face is very fun. The best part was the double helix. When we first entered the tunnel, it's like, "Oh yeah. A break from the rain!" When we came out, it felt like a sheet of water hit me in the face.... It was so cool . Also, the best rides on The Beast come at night.

paperg Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 The best, no pain & not for sure if its haunted.... Like I said in the SOB poll, I think these 2 maybe a tie. Rode The Beast last night at 9:20 & got right back in line (had to wait till after the fireworks, of course) & then rode it again at 10:10, 1st seat, both times, thats a must! Had my daughter (jess) freakin cause I kept talking about "tower johnny"... Soooo cool!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondback96 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 It's phenomenal. A must-ride. Minor pain. You will be a little sore after you get off of all wooden coasters (except prefab). I'm not sure if it's haunted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIfan1980 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Phenomenal - only minor pain (and only since they added the seat dividers) and I don't believe its haunted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropZone99 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Good with some pain, and not haunted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Phenomenal, minor pain (partly depends on where you sit - front seat is fairly smooth compared to the middle or back) and no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideFast4Ever! Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 The Beast helix was re tracked this year and is very smooth compaired to last year. The first helix on SOB needs some serious work to remove the pot holes. For The Beast, it would be cool to increase the banking on the first few turns, add some bunny hopps, and remove the brakes slowing it down. The first brake run could use some metel siding to make it a dark tunnel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster_junky Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 they have already increased the banking on the turn to the left coming out of the first drop/tunnel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI Kevin Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I love The Beast. As I do with all other wooden coasters for the most part, I experience minor pain, but not even close to enough to keep me from riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaterboy22101 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Hey McPoll! Average coaster(son is so much better) Minor Pain Yes it is haunted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast79 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 The final helix has to be one of the best endings out of any coaster I have been on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 If the trim brakes in the shed were turned down, I would have called it phenomenal. Just kind of cruising through the tunnel ruins it for me. It's nowhere near as rough as SoB, but it is painful for me if I ride it too much- like RWW. After five or six times, I went over to marathon on BLSC (so sue me! I enjoy that ride) and Vortex. Still a fun ride, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browns4life Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 To me The Beast is average during the day, and pretty good at night, it isnt haunted either. I have been on better though. Does anyone else agree with me that it needs different trains? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtl2013 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 The Beast is just one of those classic rides that will never get old. I personally dont think that it is very bumppy, but everyone can think how they want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 It's trimmed so badly that I had to vote it as average. I have fond memories of better rides in the past, but this year it hasn't impressed me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Besides all the trims on the ride, it is an amazing ride. The feeling of being out in the middle of nowhere is sensational and the final helix is one of the greatest roller coaster finales of any out there. Plus the night ride is just pure coaster bliss. As for the roughness, it is just rough enough where it doesn't hurt but it makes you want much more. One of my top 10 coasters by far and it will always be.

Aaron88stang Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I love The Beast, but I have to say the rides really seem to vary on it. Sometimes it feels way faster than others and even sitting in a middle or front row seat in a car, it feels bumpier sometimes more than others. I don't get to KI as much as a lot of you but I did make two trips in one week recently and Beast rode great the first trip and very disapointing the second (both rough and slow). Does time of day have anything to do with it? To me it seems to run better latter in the day. Night rides always rock, but so much when they don't have all those lights on.
