But those who haven't have a pretty good time and are fairly happy with the roller coasters at KI. They should add some more extreme rides though...that would revive that place.

I remember way back in the day when people used to do the Tastes Great! - Less Filling! chant on the Viking Fury. And as for Dragsters wait...It is definately long. But, its worth it. It may not seem like it to some; 3 hour wait for a 28 second ride(yes its that short), but the adrenaline rush from a coaster going 120+ MPH and dropping 400+ feet...its a blast.

Cedar Point is the 'Thrill based park.' They have the big, new rides and thats basically what the park is all about. Kings Island is the 'Entertainment based park.' They have good rides, but its more of a family atmosphere where the whole family can get something out of it. Whether its shows, kiddie land, or coasters of multiple size and speed...not sure if they still have the indoor showcase where they used to have the ice shows or not. Kings Island is a leisurely day to enjoy an amusement park, whereas Cedar Point is more 'Ride our big stuff and give yourself a heart attack or GTFO!'

The Beast has ALWAYS been one of the world's top coasters from the day it came out. As for X-Flight, it looks nearly identical to the Batwing, which was a pretty decent ride. [url="http://www.sixflags.com/america/rides/Batwing.aspx"]http://www.sixflags.com/america/rides/Batwing.aspx[/url] It didn't drive me crazy or anything, but it was a good ride altogether. I'd trade a ride on the Beast for a ride on this thing any day of the week though. How is the Son of Beast? I still haven't had the chance to ride it yet.

ChicagoBengal Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 I enjoy a coaster now and then, but nothing will ever top the Smurf boat ride in Hannah Barbara land. I was also at the park the day the Screamin' Demon debuted, although I was too small to ride at the time. If I'm not mistaken, that ride is now long gone.
