Beast79

I have to say that this was one of my funniest season in years! -Watching my five year old up on stage for marty's party -My girls watching me catch a flying cat on stage for marty's party -Meeting so many Kic peps during the summer which many I have made friends with -Being able to ride DB during the commersial shoot! -Beast walk back "first time back there without working" -Being able to ride Beastie and Viking Fury with both my girls! -My oldest daughter catching two boys trying to line jump in front of her in Swipers Sweepers making them wait behind her!!! Can't wait until next season my oldest little beastie should be 48 inches by then, she almost made it to 44 by october!

It would be nice to get stuck up there for a half hour, just seat there enjoying the view!

The Nick store has been empty for the last month!

After 20 years of riding Beast I should be near 1000 rides!

well if everything works out I might be at ki this winter working on Planet Snoopy, nothing better than being surrounded by rides and not being able to ride them!

I wasn't there long enough yesterday to attempt to make a good TR but it was nice to finally meet more peps from KICentral!

The funniest thing I have been asked to do was from a celebrity! Way back when Pink's first single came out she went to ki and rode Xtreme Skyflyer, while the plateform was rising she started to dance all goofy and asked me to dance with her so I just started to dance just as goofy as she was! After 7 years that was really the only funny thing that I was asked to do. The funniest thing that happened to me was back on a very cold April day in 97, I was working on Viking Fury and I fell on the ice and sled down the platform on the unload side!

After reading the book I looked for the plague at the front gates and I had to ask my dad if there really was a park there before ki.

We try to go to the zoo at least once a year! I'm planning on bringing the kids to the Columbus zoo next summer.

Oh and I still have both of them!

I loved the first one! R.L did a very good job describing Beast at night

Gravity Group all the way!

My opinion would be to keep it a wood coaster, there are thousands of footers out there and they could heavily modify the structure and course by saving many aspects of the ride like the station half of the lift maybe the second helix to the final break run and use all the extra good lumber to save cost.

Me and my girls are watching it right now!

I operated it for 2 years and I have ridden it for 10 and I have never had any restraint problems, with the Go No Go racket system you can sometimes feel some play between clicks.

On DB I make sure that the restraint is just a little loose and at the bottom of the hills I press my feet down at the base of the restraint to force my knees up to keep the restraint from coming down then half way up the hills I lean forward just a bit so my back isn't touching the seat back and this makes me feel like I'm flying.

Voyage or DB is the best! Unless I win the lottery and pay 30 million to be shot up in space!

The only way to experience true weightless is on the vomit comet or space travel.

There could be many factors this time of year they could be waiting on new cables to arrive or it could have been struck by lightning "not sure if we had any lately but I remember the weather people talking about them sometime this month" if it did get struck it takes awhile for the new weight cells to arrive. Most parts are at the ready on site but some parts are just not always available right off the shelve.

If there is a train on the MCBR and a train on the lift, the train on the lift will stop half way or three quarters up the lift.

That stinks that Tom wasn't feeling good.

Flying Power Driver Bam! Check!

I would think if it did they would have it posted some where around the ride.

Why do that they could just program the crypt to swing back and forth!

When I worked maintenance we would have to beat the ice loose before operations!
