The Beast will even break its own world record as the longest wooden roller coaster by two feet, from 7,359 to 7,361 feet thanks to the modifications.
The first drop was actually steepened from 45 degrees to 53 degrees to allow for a larger radius and smooth pullout at the bottom, which was a very noticeable improvement. As mentioned, The Gravity Group modified the ride’s first drop and through the first tunnel and turn towards the second drop.
Orion, Diamondback, and Mystic Timbers were as good as always, but the main coaster I wanted to get on was The Beast. Can we get The Gravity Group to work the same magic they did on Beast and Racer on Shivering Timbers to restore it to its former glory? The same cannot be said of Shivering Timbers – rough, little airtime, not enjoyable. The airtime is so strong on some of those small hills that you feel like you’re nearly standing up. Seriously, The Gravity Group’s recent work on Racer has been wonderful, the result being a smooth and airtime filled ride. Having rode Shivering Timbers at Michigan’s Adventure less than a week prior, I was shocked that right now Racer is a better ride. Only the Red side was running for ERT and it was fantastic.
I had a few coasters in mind I wanted to ride before lines got too long.įirst up was The Racer. Knowing this, I left Columbus around 8am and arrived right at 9:30am for the start of early entry. Platinum and gold pass members get exclusive ride time on a few attractions for a half-hour before the park opens to the general public. Recently, I purchased a Cedar Fair Platinum pass and wanted to get some use out of it, so I decided to make a quick visit to Kings Island’s 50th Anniversary season on Thursday, July 7th.
