InvertiJack Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 Beast is a rough ride, but in a good way. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk 4 Quote
Shawn Meyer Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 That's how I view Voyage and The Beast. Both are a crazy rough. I can't marathon Voyage like some other folks can on though. After 5 rides, I get a headache from it. The Beast I could marathon 10 times before I say alright that's enough. 2 Quote
KingsIsland1972 Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 Nice pictures. I still think this coaster looks fairly large in scale. I don't really buy the small GCI ideaAfter doing some scaling work, based on all the information we have, the current length (without elevation accounted for) is 3250ft. Edit: A very rough outline of Prowler at WoF gives me 3000ft. So I can't imagine this ride being more than 3500ft. I believe I've been saying that the whole time. Heehee! Great detective work. Of course, that's based on my idea where the layout is. So, just IMO. I can't wait to see where it goes. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk 1 Quote
bm0324 Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 The Voyage is rough, but in a sense that it's ridiculously aggressive and beats you senseless. It's the only coaster that leaves me gasping for air and has my heart racing when it slams into the brakes. I like that. From a discussion with a former long time HW employee I had, the Timberliners were ultimately scrapped because they were going too fast. The park never stated publicly why they wouldn't use them, because they didn't want to trim it to death. But given that Hades supposedly got significantly faster after adding them, it would make sense, and I trust him because he was an op on that ride for several years. I find The Beast to be less rough, but it's a less aggressive coaster, and KI babies it. And in most cases, with a woodie that tall and that fast, it's going to beat you up. Prefabs are different, but for a traditional woodie, it almost always will. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk 6 Quote

Sebastien6221 Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 ^ So you're saying you find The Beast rough? I respect your opinion by the way, but I don't find it rough. To me, both the Voyage and The Beast are on the same levels of crazy rides.I don't find The Beast rough either per say. Compared to steel like Diamondback, they are, but they are wood lol of course they wont be buttery smooth. I like all of them. Helk, I plan on going the 2nd of July and will ride Vortex once even.Sent from my N9130 using Tapatalk 5 Quote
CP Maverick Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 I find the 3rd row of each car to be a bit jarring. Other than that, The Beast is very smooth compared to other large wooden coasters. 3 Quote
Sebastien6221 Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 I agree, it doesnt bother me or anything, was just trying to explain myself, which seems to never go over well for anyone on here...... Sent from my N9130 using Tapatalk 3 Quote

CocaColaParking Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 If you go up the entrance to white water canyon, and look off to the left when you are entering, about halfway through the path, there is a cutout of a barrel sitting out there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Quote
upstop Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 Is it a barrel or a powder keg? Barrel - a moonshine running theme? Powder keg - maybe a launching theme? 6 Quote

bm0324 Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 "roll out the barrels." Have we considered that this coaster may have a barrel roll? Similar to Hades 360 or Jungle Trailblazer for example. GCI has confirmed Millennium Flyers can perform inversions, would GCI ever attempt an inversion? I know they're very true to the traditional woodie and don't often stray from that. But I'd reckon for the right amoof money, they'd built whatever the park wants. Within reason of course.

Coaster Addict Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 Personal apology: I am sorry for quoting photos, I was not aware that quoting pictures would have that effect on the mobile site. I was certainly not aware I was being inconsiderate to the other great members of KIC. With that being said, now back to decoding. 14 Quote

MEMORANDUM Sandusky, Ohio February 12, 2013 Going forward, for the naming of all new Kings Island attractions, only names of former/proposed Cedar Fair attractions are to be considered. New for 2017!

Beast Gal Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 Back pages ago I said a cowboy coaster themed to bootleggin. Quote
upstop Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 I never said to name it Powder Keg.... Just that it hints of explosions... Therefore a launching coaster. And bootleggin it could very well be... Lol! 4 Quote
Shawn Meyer Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 New for 2017! Disaster Transport- Wooden Coaster! Wouldn't that be something?! Some people at Cedar Point feel like Banshee was taken from Cedar Point so imagine how they would feel if they recycled that name. 4 Quote

Moonshine running themed coaster?Grit your teeth, Bear the load Enjoy your ride... This. I was thinking they could re-use the name Thunder Road for our new coaster. The name is a perfect fit for Rivertown. 10 Quote

Coaster Addict Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 This could also carry the name of a weather event. Micro Burst Down Draft Tornado Twister Typhoon Turbulance I'm pretty sure it will be none of these... Just putting it out there. 4 Quote
