I've had great food service today at IS Skyline and the Chinese place in Festhaus. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Probably an enthusiast so as to get those pesky kids out of the way.

What a mess! I went to check in at Guest Services. Was told to check in at The Beast for the tour. Went to The Beast, was told I had to go to HR to check in. Well, 20 minutes is pushing it, even if I found HR. So I asked for a supervisor, who called Guest Services and was told to tell me to check in at The Beast at 3. Good grief? EDIT: No lanyard was required and the check in was to show your credentials. Stress relieved.

I was told at Guest Services that The Beast is down. Guess it will be a unique tour! Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

I was there in November and on New Years Eve. All coasters were running with walk on ques. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Off topic, but I do want to say "thanks" to Beast Gal. Maverick will always be Cowboy Coaster to me now! For me personally, this is her and Mr. Beast Guy's best contribution to coasterdom! Beast Gal, did you end up going to the Mystic Timbers announcement? Did you feel safe?

I was not an enthusiast, nor did I visit much during the Paramount years. (I lived out west). The handful of times I went to PKI when I was home on vacation, I did not like the amount of commercialization that Paramount brought to PKI. It seemed if everything was branded. I moved back in '07, went, and it felt like the "old" Kings Island again.

Sparky, Kings Dominion felt smaller in scale to me. In a good way. They do so many things right there. I really liked the long walkway behind the Tower.

Mr. Speigel is likely a part of the teasing.

I did feel like I was in an alternate universe when I was at KD. So many things the same, yet different.

Kroger is advertising combo Tix to KK and the state fair with KK getting top billing. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

I didn't take Mr. Spiegel's "oh it's to coming" to mean this year. With his connections, I'd be very surprised if he wasn't in the know. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

I signed up. Hopefully will be able to go, then up to Cedar Point. Can't believe the season is almost over! I can count on one hand the remaining times I'll go to KI and KK this year! Thank goodness for Dollywood! Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

I'm not much of a gamer, but PVZ was very lame in my opinion. Very short, not much of a story line, and video lagged. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

I watched a POV in one of the links posted above. Can you imagine how the associate feels who was stationed at the end of the ride?

I know I am in the minority, but I like the brake after the 2nd lift, before the tunnel. Especially sitting in front, it seems as if you slow some, but then are sped up right before the tunnel. The Beast is all about emotions, at least for me. It is nothing like FURY 325 or TTD as far as stats go, but it is and probably always will be my #1 coaster.

I agree! It was great yesterday!

Great day at the park today except for terrible service at Taco Tequila. Old women in bikinis and old men in Speedos pressed against the glass sneeze guard is not appealing. Also, it is not a good time to change the cash drawers when the line is out the door. The workers did great--they had orders taken and food ready. However, it was likely cold and why I left the line and went to Swamp Water Jacks for some pulled pork and jalapeno pepper macaroni!

Kentucky Kingdom has an Enterprise. It reopened last year. It doesn't seem to fit.

Bring me up to speed, please. What happened at Diamondback?

I actually enjoyed watching this video. I have seen a few other of his, and they annoyed me like Bob Avery's sometimes do. But it was nice seeing someone experience KI for the first time.

I really like the idea of Mystic Timbers. The only critique I have to offer is about the announcement itself. It just seemed to end awkwardly.

I rode MS in May several times during my first CP visit. I didn't find it too rough, but slightly boring. But I still really enjoy it. This news saddens me, but I am hoping for a remake rather than a tear down.
