just got back from kings island, and the last ride of the day was "The Beast". man, they ruined this thing when they added all the trim brakes to it a few years ago. by the way, "son of beast" was closed on thursday, no real reason given to me. looks odd with out the loop! and i still have to wonder why they moved the "new" "firehawk" to this park. just cedar fair being thrifty(read:cheap)? and i want to say, the italian job is a waste of space, the transitions and sudden breakovers are as brutal as some of the wooden coasters i have ridden.
