The Interpreter Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 And to think many thought Paramount's Kings Island's blocking was conservative compared to most any other park. Come a bit of rain, and Cedar Fair's Kings Island's is even more so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIfan1980 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Well Ishould have told you all sooner but please dont start all the"You lie" Comments towards me but I am the 3rd person to get 1'000 rides on DB. I did it about 2 days after Andrew. Well at least I got that off my back. Good for you and Congratulations! I actually find it quite reasonable that you and others have reached this milestone. I stopped counting at 150 sometime during ERT a couple of weeks ago - this was mostly done by marathoning DB during weekend ERT once every couple of weeks along with a few nights at the park, because I don't ride DB very often when I go with the family during the days. While some may not understand the attraction of riding one coaster so much, I've really enjoyed it and the people I've met doing it and it hasn't stopped me from enjoying other rides at the park as well.

CoastersRZ Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 And to think many thought Paramount's Kings Island's blocking was conservative compared to most any other park. Come a bit of rain, and Cedar Fair's Kings Island's is even more so! I still don`t get why they can`t run two trains on The Beast in the rain. I mean it has two lift hills. I would think it wouldn`t be that hard to modify the plc to allow for two train "rain mode" operation. I mean there are two lift hills, and three block sections in the station area. That is essentially the same number of blocks as what Diamondback has. I just know that one train operation on a ride that has a ride time of nearly five minutes can turn even a small line into one that is not worth waiting in.
