Here is a big what if........what if Slingshot, and Xtreme Flyer were to be moved to a location south of Soak City, along with the Thunder Alley go carts to create a pay-as-you-go area.....AND THEN....this new rollercoaster would have an area where it would be able to circle around the Drop Tower and over the central plaza back to the current construction site....maybe with a loop in the central plaza.....

did beast ever run trimless?
I remember one time in the rain, we slid right through the shed, pretty much non stop......Wow what a fun ride that was!....It was so fast we flew through the tunnels totally out of control in the final turns before the second lift hill... we got back in line immediately after that ride!.....Ah.....those were the days.

With the paranormal theming indicated on the sign....It would simply be logical to announce the ride during the Halloween Haunt. Maybe with a new haunt in the plaza.....BTW anyone thinking that the entire Action Zone might get a "paranormal" update to make it a new themed area? After all it doesn't appear as Action Zone on the maps, does it?

How cool is that!!!!!! I'll bet that not many of us can claim to have operated The Beast in it's original form if at all!!!!!!! (I bow down to you great sir!!!) (Also....I remember the bucket hanging from the coaster and I just thought it was just maintenance stuff.....lmao)

IF the coaster is BAT or WITCH related, what do you think the ride plaza should look like?.....I keep picturing a medieval castle with a surrounding court yard with pillory square with a fire. Medieval music and distant screams....would definitely be a showcase at night with torches on the walls to light the way.

I don't really get defensive but yes...I hear the same things over and over and over again....

Hmmm....lets think for a second....Lynch mobs of New England's townsfolk and bats......perhaps a vampire theme? That's paranormal and results in bone chilling screams.

Not to derail almost 12 hours later, but KK does NOT have kicker wheels at the top to prevent rollbacks. It does have magnetic trims it seems, but only to seemingly slow the train if it crests the hill too fast. or to pull the car forward...

Three witch trains, three witch names....how about naming the trains....Luna, Lorenna and Matilda

Hmmmm.....I like the idea......loops and loops and more good loops.

Maybe this "thing" has something to do with burning....hence the burning at the stake.... Shaggy my very well be heading in the right direction with the theme. Maybe this will have a theme after all kind of a lynch mob.....paranormal, bone chilling screams....maybe this will have a two part queue line through a village and to the court for sentencing like the Dungeons attractions in Europe.

With a preshow of Heather Donohue's weepy, snotty nosed monologue crying to riders to be sure their seat belt is fastened and all loose items are stored.

Non expensive eateries in Kings Island...
My favorite, and cheapest place to eat is "Le Hatchback du Prius". Its located in the parking lot, usually in row 14.

Flight Of Fear Best Seat for most intense launch
The first time I was at the entrance I jumped like a rollercoaster tycoon peep and said "TTD looks to intense for me".

That actually sounds like a Cedar Fair ride name.

Flight Of Fear Best Seat for most intense launch
I have never ridden TTD.... As far as FOF, well I find any seat that my big ole rear end will fit in an intense ride....nothing makes a ride more intense as having to wait two hours and be crammed into a car with a full bladder...

The more I think of the story line of witches, it makes more sense.....the townsfolk accuse three women of witch craft and determine to burn them at the stake, however they escape one by one (three trains) to fly over, around and through the village to terrorize the townsfolk, only to be captured at the end. But if it's not named Banshee, then what could the possible name be? Maybe....Cursed...or Hex...maybe Coven.
