CoastersRZ Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Most have watched the Youtube video of "Beast Unleashed", a non official Giga concept making its way across the internet. This spawned a wave of excitement on social media, the enthusiast community, and even made local news. Kings Island fans believed, and some still believe, the park will be getting "Beast Unleashed" in the next season or two. This of course, was just an excellent fan made concept that was not associated with the park. In this latest podcast we talk with KIC Member RuthlessAirtime who was the creator of "Beast Unleashed". Before listening to the podcast, please watch the video if you have not already done so: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mV5UyTOezvY 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Bombay Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Somewhat topical question (and maybe this is covered in the podcast (haven't had a chance to listen yet)): why do the B&M gigas utilize the "4-across" trains as opposed to the Diamondback style "stadium" seats? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeastFarmer Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Kentucky Kingdom info: the out of state offer for 2019 is $39.95 for two consecutive days and includes free soft drinks both days. https://shop.kentuckykingdom.com/webstore/shop/viewItems.aspx?cg=outofstate&c=consecday The park has a maximum height limit of around 210', IIRC. I think it is in the area by the Viking ship and goes across the road to the empy field behind Kentucky Flier which is part of the park's future expansion area.

At one point, I heard that it was to cut down on cost for the stations....the longer the train (with the stadium style seating) the longer the station has to be.

That may be true, but I think that the DB-style seating was also more of a trend for the 2005-10 range and both guests and parks prefer the shorter 4 person across trains. Otherwise some parks would still spring for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same year Shambhala opened, B&M brought their first version of a Giga Coaster with Leviathan, utilizing the 4-across seating, Fury 325 also utilized the 4-across seating. The most recent hyper, Mako, opened in 2016 with the 4-across seating as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, but what I’m saying is that I think the seating style fell out of favor rather than being unused for cost savings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calakapepe Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Yeah, I had one of my friends tag me in a Facebook post telling me how they are so excited for Beast Unleashed haha I had to tell her the bad news that it's a fan-made thing linking to the video which had a disclaimer in the description. I'll listen to this podcast when I have more time later today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterFan123 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 A day or two ago Cedar Fair copyrighted two new names, Polaris and Orion. So this means that one of these two would be the name instead of the Best Unleashed. Unless they are going to copyright it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonahWilliamson Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Whens the next podcast? How do we do more frequent pod casts? Is there a person who does them? I have all the equipment to do a really really good sounding podcast. I would love to do a coaster related one. But would need at least two more people to have on and talk with. Idk if anyone would be down or if you mods would want to get something rolling again but id love it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastersRZ Posted October 8, 2019 Author Share Posted October 8, 2019 Sorry for no response. I have topics for future ones. Hopefully we will have another one recorded soon. Things got busy, as I work full time at an architectural firm and was working close to 60 hours a week over the summer while also working the final season of rides at Coney. What things would you like to hear in future podcasts? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
