April 30, 201313 yr Not sure if this has been done on here before, but I think it will be fun for everyone to share their oppinion. Here goes mine: 1) Diamondback 2) The Beast 3) Flight Deck 4) Vortex 5) Adventure Express 6) Invertigo Surf Dog 7) Flight of Fear 8) Racer 9) Woodstock Express 10) Flying Ace Ariel Chase 11) Firehawk 12) The Great Pumpkin Coaster Notes: DB and The Beast are in a league of their own, hence the space between them and the others. Invertigo would be ranked higher if it was actually unique or had a higher capacity. I'm not sure if Surf Dog is a coaster. 13) Back Lot Stun Coaster
April 30, 201313 yr Hmm...Beast, Racer, Vortex, Flight of Fear, Diamondback, Drop Tower, Adventure Express, Flight Deck, Invertigo, WindSeeker. I think that should cover my top ten rides at KI.

April 30, 201313 yr Beast, Diamondback, Invertigo, Flight of Fear, Racer, Flight Deck, Woodstock Express, Adventure Express, Back Lot Stunt Coaster, Flying Ace Aerial Chase, Firehawk, Vortex. I've never been on The Great Pumpkin. Lest we forget - or should we forget - Surf Dog? (Also, just as a nod to them.... King Cobra, The Bat, Son of Beast, Bavarian Beetle, Scooby's Ghoster Coaster, Demon)
April 30, 201313 yr Well if we can add old coasters that are gone, you could squeeze SOB at #3 and move the others down, and throw King Cobra at my #6 or so.
April 30, 201313 yr 1) Vortex 2) The Beast 3) Diamondback 4) Invertigo 5) Adventure Express 6) Flight of Fear 7) Firehawk 8) The Racer 9) Flight Deck 10) Woodstock Express Honorable Mention: Flying Ace Aerial Chase

Adventure Express9. Vortex 9. Woodstock Express 12. Flying Ace Aerial Chase 12. Invertigo So I have a bunch of ties. I'm not in the mood to be picky enough to break them.
April 30, 201313 yr I could no more rate coasters (with a very few exceptions) than a mother could rate her children (again with a very few exceptions).

April 30, 201313 yr I just don't get The Beast...in my opinion it feels slow, there's no G's whatsoever, and the only good part is the helix. I don't get it...maybe I'm just weird...
May 1, 201313 yr Author I just don't get The Beast...in my opinion it feels slow, there's no G's whatsoever, and the only good part is the helix. I don't get it...maybe I'm just weird... You do go pretty far in the woods which is pretty cool. Also, there is two lift hills...
May 1, 201313 yr I just don't get The Beast...in my opinion it feels slow, there's no G's whatsoever, and the only good part is the helix. I don't get it...maybe I'm just weird... Sit in the front row on a dark night,then say you dont get it....then maybe you are weird!
May 1, 201313 yr In reply to the OP: 1. Adventure Express 1. Beast (It's running really well this year!) 3. Flight Deck 4. Flight of Fear 5. Racer 6. Backlot Stunt Coaster 7. Vortex 8. Diamondback 9. Firehawk 10. Woodstock Express 11. Invertigo 12. Flying Ace Aerial Chase 13. Great Pumpkin Coaster In reply to The Beast conversation: I used to ride Beast expecting thrills, but I now approach it with the attitude of watching a 70's action movie. Jdawg is right--there are no real G's, save for the laterals just after the first drop and a few turns leading to the second lift. But that's entirely the thing with Beast. It's a strong start, then a bunch of straightaways and wide turns. The turns gradually increase in intensity, speed, and forces--and then they drop off the map entirely when you hit the second lift. It's about lulling you into a sense of security, then shattering it with the most intense portion of the ride. It's not the typical B&M progression of most to least intense elements during the ride, and that's a good thing--in my opinion, anyway. Beast is one of the few rides in the world that manages to theme itself without relying on props or a gimmick, and I think that's why it's as famous as it is.
May 1, 201313 yr Here are my rankings:1. Invertigo 2. Flight Deck 3. Racer4. Flight of Fear5. Beast6. Diamondback7. Adventure Express 8. Vortex 9. Woodstock 10. Backlot11. Firehawk12. Flying Ace -Great Pumpkin isn't included because it's a kiddie coaster that I haven't ridden in years. Also, I do not consider Surf Dog a roller coaster.
May 2, 201313 yr 1. Diamondback 2. Firehawk 3. FOF 4. Beast 5. Vortex 6. Racer 7. Invertigo 8. Backlot 9. Flight Deck 10. Adventure Express
May 2, 201313 yr 1) Diamondback 2) Beast 3) Flight of Fear 4) Firehawk 5) Flight Deck 6) Vortex 7) Racer 8) Adventure Express 9) Backlot 10) Woodstock Express 11) Flying Ace Aerial Chase 150) Invertigo
May 2, 201313 yr 1) Diamondback 2) Beast 3) Flight of Fear 4) Firehawk 5) Flight Deck 6) Vortex 7) Racer 8) Adventure Express 9) Backlot 10) Woodstock Express 11) Flying Ace Aerial Chase 150) Invertigo That's interesting. Would it be safe to assume that you don't particularly care for Invertigo? Or am I reading between the lines too much?
May 2, 201313 yr 1. Diamondback 2. FOF 3. Vortex 4. Racer 5. Flight Deck 6. Adventure Express 7. Beast 8. Invertigo 9. BLSC 10. Firehawk I'm more of an airtime/inversions guy. Beast goes up to a 2 with night rides but during the day its highly overrated.

May 2, 201313 yr Very well said indeed. If you don't "get" The Beast, then you don't understand what The Beast actually is or what it's about. Then again...perhaps I just have a soft spot for it in my heart.
June 7, 201313 yr 1.) Diamondback 2.) Flight of Fear 3.) Firehawk 4.) The Beast 5.) Delirium 6.) Racers 7.) Invertigo 8.) BLSC 9.) Flight Deck 10.) AE 11.) Drop Zone 12.) WindSeeker 13.) WWC 14.) Congo Falls (That's everything I've ridden LOL)
