JxAx Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 You have one more ride to ride at Kings Island. Ever. What would it be? Why? -It must be at KI right now, and working. so, that excludes Firehawk and Son of Beast. I'd have to say Vortex. The first drop (in the back seat for lots of airtime)..then the loops. Pretty much falling out of my seat in the corkscrews and the boomerang (or batwing, whatever its called). Man that would be a great last ride...at least i think so - what would your last ride be?

The Interpreter Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 Preferably one that lasts about, say, forty years! More seriously, of what is there now, Flight of Fear. Front seat, either side. Or back seat, either side. I'm not all that picky. Of any ride ever at Kings Island? The Flying Eagles. On a non-windy day please.....and a nice long cycle! Quote
Snake Attack! Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 I am going to go with slingshot, you get all fired up for that initial launch and when the ride is all said and done you have a prefect snapshot of the park and the skyline. Then when you get back down you get to see you video and remember the experience. Quote

boricuabud Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 The Beast. Period. There's nothing like the feeling you have after that ride is over. Quote
Jasper Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 ^I am going to have to agree. Except for one thing that i guarentte UncleHenry would want. A night ride. Quote
KDogg Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 Although I absolutely love The Vortex and it'd be a hard decision for me to make, I think I'd have to go with The Beast. As stated above, there's nothing like the feeling after a great ride on the legend. Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 (And here you thought I'd add that the Legend is at Holiday World!) Quote
WooferBearATL Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 Thrill Ride would have to be The Beast with Fog falling over the track. Either early morning or twilight. Of any ride it would have to be the train in the evening back when all the theming before Waterworks was built. Quote
Jamesv7 Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 Mine would have to be one last ride with my wife on The Beast at about midnight. Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 Mine would have to be one last ride with my wife on The Beast at about midnight. Awwww! That's romantical! Quote
Monroe Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 The Eiffel Tower. That way I can look around at each ride and remember the last time I was on it. Quote
corn4ahead Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 It would definetky be The Beast on a day where it was running fast and it would have to be pitch black outside. Quote
welchce Posted May 9, 2007 Posted May 9, 2007 I'll have to agree with the majority of the posters so far. When you think KI, you think of The Beast. Not only is it a great ride but if it's going to be the last of my life I'm going to want to go on a nice long ride. A close second for me would be Vortex. Both of those coasters are classic. Quote
UncleHenry Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 Psh, Beast at 1 AM is SO much cooler than Beast at midnight! Quote
TOPGUN1993 Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 2:00 AM front seat of The Beast during October is not very fun............. Quote
Scooby_Doo Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 The Beast late at night with a fog covered track. Quote
beastfan11 Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 Phantom Theatre... sure it's not around anymore.. but it would be my last ride if it was still at KI. Quote
RingMaster Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 The Beast. At night. After a good raining. And foggy. QUITE foggy. Quote
welchce Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 Psh, Beast at 1 AM is SO much cooler than Beast at midnight! 2:00 AM front seat of The Beast during October is not very fun............. So the best time would be between 1 and 2 but only if there's fog? Quote
bear295 Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 Last ride of my life.... last ride of the night on Beast on an early autumn night. W O W!!! The cool air, the smell of trees beginning to turn, the roar of the train in the dark. What a thrill!! Quote
KI_LIFER Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 I was born on April 13 1979, so I have to go with The Beast. On my birthday or Beast's. Better yet, I could start the ride on mine and end it on Beast's. Yea that would work. Quote
pkiBeastfan Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 After more than 500 rides during 2006 with my daughter, I have to say Beast... Particularly early morning or late evening (around sunset) with the fog over the tracks. Quote
Cory Butcher Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 Pretty sure that I'll be on a flight down to Disney World, to get my last ride on Splash Mountain! But, since thats not the topic, and I dont want to be a 'homer' Im going to say night ride, with fog, on Top Gun! Quote

DropZone99 Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 mine would be Vortex at 4am, with lightning and really heavy wind. Quote
westcoaster Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 Mine would be (a tie). The Beast ride from 2am till about 4 am non stop: the Log flume at Knotts berry farm any time its incredible! Quote
VortexPKIFreak Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 That is a very hard choice. I'm a big Vortex fan...... but a ledgend like The Beast would be better if it was the last at KI I would ever ride Quote
