Beast08

I am with you mom on this one. I would hate to get stuck on an old wood coaster like The Beast.

Ok, so which one is Terpy?? ;) -- Walt Davis, Director of Park Services Walt Davis is one of my instructors at Sinclair Community College. I find it interesting how he helped work on The Beast, and now he is teaching Aviation at Sinclair. During our class he has told a few stories about building The Beast.

Great TR! Who was the American standing in front of the flag?

So who do you think is right? I think the ride ops are right because they do work the ride everyday.

ride time of three minutes, 40 seconds I was thinking the ride time was 4 minutes and 50 seconds. I know the ride ops at The Beast said many times that the ride time was 4 minutes and 50 seconds. Who is right?

Did Behemoth have a pull through?

Nice find Cory! It's too bad the Lion Country Safari ride is gone now.

If i ever got the chance to work at Kings Island i would want to work at The Beast!

Two trains down, one to go!

They are moving the red train out!

Could it be an emergency exit?

Looks like a new fence to me.

I think the trains only look different colors because they didn't take the plastic off the train yet.

I hope the Diamondback crew this year will be as good as The Beast crew was last year.

I'm ready for the Diamondback tour sat, now that the trains will be on!!!

I think Diamondback will end up just like Firehawk, was all dirt and mud.

gigacoaster2k 2008: 1 trimless ride on Beast There is no way you had a trimless ride on The Beast in 2008.

I could go as high as $450 for the first ride on Diamondback!!!!

Like what? ride The Racer? Good move! Insulting him is going to get you great respect from this community. I didn't mean to insult him. I was just saying the man loves to ride The Racer. What's wrong with that?

Like what? ride The Racer?

I think if Don can go up Diamondback's lift to take pictures, then he should be able to go up the tower to fix the webcam!

Crypt is a great ride.

I'm ready to go for a ride on The Crypt!!!

I whole heartedly agree with you Jasper, I know KI takes pretty good care of their rides, but leaving the paint flaking off the track of Flight Deck just makes it seem like it's being left to rot. :/ I'd love to see the original red or maybe the same kind of red with a hint of orange like Iron Dragon at CP. I agree Flight Deck needs painted, but i don't want to see another ride painted red at ki.

I have always thought they looked alike too! Maybe it's Don's long lost brother? Don Helbig is better looking than Andrew Zimmern!
