kingsislandfan1972 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Both parks have similar boat rides, which do you think is better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaiderFTW Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Viking Fury is an enjoyable ride that the whole family will love. Berzerker is all the fun of an asthma attack combined with a claustrophobic's worst nightmare and wrapped in a ride cycle that feels like it's never going to end. Berzerker is the definition of cruel and unusual punishment and has probably been considered for use at Guantanamo Bay. It brings me joy to imagine my enemies riding Berzerker. I chose Viking Fury. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill_Biscuit Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Viking Fury is enjoyable, while Berzerker is just a little bit over the top. ♫ da-da-da-di-da-da!♫ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 When I first saw the subject of this thread, I thought that by boat ride, you meant log flume. Only once I saw the options did I realize you were referring to the viking ships. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banshee Back VII Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I'll tell you my opinion in two weeks. I assume I will like Berserker better because it offers more thrills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Do you like intense pain? If you do, you'll love that insane Virginia contraption. It also helps if you are under 20. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Null vote, only because I haven't ridden Berserker or any other swinging ship that goes upside down. That said, given the reputation that Berserker gets around here, I'm surprised it has 30% of the vote so far. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purdude86 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I haven't been on Berserker but ridden similar ones and they are never as fun as they look. Viking Fury is a lot of fun though, plus it has a great setting surrounded by trees and the pond. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Quite frankly, I'm surprised Kings Dominion's is still there. It seldom has any line, few repeat ride it, the placement in the park is not all that great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombieninja Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 ^...and you might feel like you're 33 when you're done riding it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee Back VII Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Alrighty then. How do the Kings Dominion junkies like it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 They typically don't. The ride seldom has a line. Terp, who lives 7 hours closer to Kings Dominion than to Kings Island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 You will also probably have an easier time finding Kings Island's swinging ship with the park map, for what that's worth... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee Back VII Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Is it easy to find in the actual park itself? 300th post! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaiderFTW Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Yeah. You enter the park and make the first left off of International Street. Berzerker's location is to Kings Dominion as the Festhaus's location is to Kings Island, except there is no Kings Island Theater pathway at KD. You really can't miss it... no matter how hard you try. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr0y Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Bezerker was very uncomfortable i couldn't wait to get off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 You'd have loved Son of Beast, then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee Back VII Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I did. I went on it once in 2009 when I was 7, and loved every bit of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I'm very glad you got to. Many didn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee Back VII Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I still like Banshee better though... But I'll never forgive them for removing Son of Beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohiocolts Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I'm probably in the extreme minority that kind of liked Berserker.... At least the Carowinds version. Yeah it hurt, and my dad almost lost his phone, but I liked the hang time. Maybe it's just because of my age. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faeriewench Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Neither imo since they make me sick. My favorite boat ride doesn't even exist anymore. :/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
