Millennium310 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Am I the only one that just doesn't really like inverts?? No, you definitely are not. The reason I don't like them is that MOST of them have a bad positive to negative g-force ratio, and to say the least, those positives have really been getting to me lately...

PinJim Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I'm always confused as to why people think that KI would tear down Vortex. It is by far one of the most popular rides. Sure, it's rough. But so is beast. I don't see either of them coming down anytime soon.But The Beast doesn't have OTSR's, and it's actually very smooth if you ride on a non-wheel seat. The Beast? Smooth? Yack. Four or five years ago, it threw my buddies back out and ended our day. It consistently beast the tar out of me. I'll give the non-wheeled seat a try.... I still don't see Vortex going anywhere anytime soon. While I'm thinking about beast....has it always had brakes on the first drop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think The Beast is running much smoother now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merthecat Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Well, would you rather ride something named Banshee, or something named Hurler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I'm gonna make a prediction...... I'm REALLY going out on a limb here, but I think It's gonna be a ride of some sort, although I could be wrong! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeastForever Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I'm going to ERT tomorrow morning. Should have some more pictures when I get back. Just a quick question: What's the earliest time you can wait outside the front gate in the morning? Because the latest I can get dropped off there is 8:45 am... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I'm going to ERT tomorrow morning. Should have some more pictures when I get back. Just a quick question: What's the earliest time you can wait out the front gate in the morning? Because the latest I can get dropped off there is 8:45 am... The parking toll booths open at 8:30. I would assume that they don't want pedestrians entering the main lot from the drop-off area before then. However, 8:45 will be fine.

I think The Beast is running much smoother now. Yes, there has been a lot of retracking work in the past few years. The difference between The Beast in 2010 and The Beast in 2013 is like day and night, if you get my drift. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invertedgirl Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I was there Saturday with one of my friends and when I was by the fence I heard screams from directly behind the fence, my friend thought I was crazy and the screams were coming from a ride. Has anyone else heard these 'screams'? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXDrummerKiDXx Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Yes, the screams go off every 30 mins or so. So said the lady working Delirium . It's a nice addition, although confused the hell outta me. Edit: also, welcome to KIC! I've always wanted to do that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 The only reason I think KI may get Banshee over other parks is, KI has a bit of a, doesn't care attitude about stuff like this. At CP they thought it would tarnish the image and was somewhat taboo'ed. However, KI has Ed Alonzos soon to be hyped up haunt show, Halloween Haunt, and midget wrestling. I think Banshee is acceptable Do you not remember the controversy a few years ago about some props for haunt and live animals in Slaughter house? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDMC01 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 While riding Drop Tower and Adventure Express today, I noticed that a) there were people working in the construction area; b- the area seems to be expanding into the valley, close to Adventure Express (this might have already been mentioned before, but it was the first time I saw it) and c) there was a huge driller instrument on site, which might mean more footers will be poured soon (in fact, I think I remember seeing a few holes that were going to be prepped for footers as I had a pretty good view of the site before we dropped). -MDMC, whose current snack of choice while viewing this thread is a piece of gum! EDIT: I had to write b with a dash because an emoticon kept accidently popping up when I typed a "B" with a parenthesis. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millennium310 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 It wouldn't let me quote @YoungStud but I'm only in high school, and I guess I take back what I said about being "rattled" by inverts (except for Batman; that one always is a little heavy on the positives). I just really don't want to see an invert go in at KI after all this anticipation and with construction starting nearly a year prior to its opening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
