April 18, 201214 yr So I Binged Kings Island and found this blog. http://www.scaryforkids.com/kings-island/ While it is old it still provided me a great laugh, especially the comments section.
April 18, 201214 yr lol @ "i know people have died on The Beast" and the people died when sob stoped mid loop
April 18, 201214 yr I love the bit about Kings Island being "one of the oldest amusement parks in the country". Maybe on a very long list...
April 18, 201214 yr People can find a lot of things when they go on a Kings Island 'Binge!' I guess the past-tense of 'Bing' is a homonym! I guess the recent Ghost Hunters episode really helps these folks along in their perception of our dear park. Oy!
April 19, 201214 yr My dad told me that people who hold their arms up going into the final helix on The Beast get them chopped off in the tunnels. Since he said it; it's totally true. It's even happened to me a couple of times. (Could only happen a couple times since I only have 2 arms.....had 2 arms....)
April 19, 201214 yr You CAN get badly bruised/cut or worse. Terp, who has ridden with more than one person who found out the hard way....
April 19, 201214 yr Hmm. I typically hold my arms up throughout The Beast. However: 1) I try to sit on the right-hand side when possible, and 2) I'm a short guy with shorter arms and a very short reach. In short, my arms just don't reach high enough to hit anything.
April 20, 201214 yr You CAN get badly bruised/cut or worse. Terp, who has ridden with more than one person who found out the hard way.... I've heard enough stories to make sure I keep my hands inside the train during the helix.
April 25, 201214 yr Ah a good ghost story for the campfire about KI, overreactions seem to be present on the topic at hand on that website! On another note like terpy said, The Beast can bite, especially on the back.
