 Review of The Beast @ Kings Island
0 Rating Posted by: coaster05 on 4/19/2004 11:57:00 AM
Let me start by seeing it is better at night but i tried to rate it based on both day and evening rides. APPEARANCE -10 it still looks amazing the tress around it are amazing especially during the fall. the trains have a classic look. i really like the old school signs that still habg in the lines and the documentary is nice. the staion looks a little to mine ridey and i miss real concession stands in the line like the old days. RIDE QUALITY -8.5 the last time i went i noticed the trim brakes more than in the past. maybe its because ive rode 80 new coasters since my last visit, but i cant overlook a trim brake on the first hill. airtime is non existent especially with the seat belts but the long ground level straightaways make up for that. CAPACITY-10 still loads very quick and with three trains the line hardly ever stands still. it is also better since they dont line you up have way down the midway like the old days. FUN-10 still exciting, still fast, still orginal even after all this time. just a fun ride for all levels of coaster riders. RERIDE 10- still the number 1 reason to go to this park. still one of the best coaster anywhere. no matter the wait this is the one thing you have to do when you are at PKI. OVERALL 48.5 AVG 9.7 so give it the 10 the use of trim brakes cost it 2 points and moved it behind shivering timbers to my # 3 ride. phoenix still the unprecendented #1. its amazing when you think of all the advancements and all the new wood coasters how well this one stands the test of time. i would love some park to try and make something similar.

The beast is still better than timbers. You are all about coaster history but just forget about this ride. Dont forget timbers pretty much made a small park sell to cor. like cedar fair. The beast is 25 years old and will always be better than a ride 20 years younger.

I dont know which one of you is harder to follow here. Neither one of you is writing clearly enough to susbstantiate an argument. At least I think taylorb is arguing!

me and taylor are pretty much related so whenever he decides to grace us with his presence i like to give him crap as far as larry what is hard to follow about what i wrote. i updated my review my first was 4 lines long this one is an 18 line monster

ah, now I get it. I didnt know what you meant by "went from 4 lines to this monster". I was thinking the use of monster actually referred to "The Beast" so I had no idea what "4 lines" referred to. Now it makes sense. I couldnt understand why taylor said you forget about this "The Beast" when you clearly havent forgotten about it. I forgot about the two of you having same good natured ribbing on some previous reviews. Now it makes sense!!!!
