Kings Island, a place full of history dating back over 40 years. What is the most historic addition in KI history?

For me, it would have to be the addition of Beast, FoF, and BB.

Edited topic title for Terp's namesake, the s is implied(occasionally)

I only rode Son of Beast 4 times the 1st year it opened. I loved it had no trouble with it. However Most historic addition in KI history has to be The Beast All the records it broke the building of it in a time when there was no computers and it was built by KI not another company. And Yes Vortex was a record breaker.

There were no computers?

Really?

The things I learn here.

(Gee, I wonder what in the world I, a lowly student, was using back in 1965 at Morehead State in Kentucky? It used "IBM punchcards.")

If I had to pick one I'd probably say The Beast. It is the ride that Kings Isalnd is really known and celebrated for. Plus it has broken adn held many records for mroe than 3 decades.

After that probably The Racer. It was one of teh parks' original attractions and is a landmark coaster and played a vital role in the coaster renaissance, it was the one that really sparked the new golden age of coasters which got us to where we are today.

So as far as general coaster history The Racer is the more historic but Beast is teh more widely known and recognized one for the park itself.
