I never rode the goaster coaster but thats because the line took forever. I hope they keep the Beastie name. That was the first Roller Coaster I ever rode. My GrandMother of all people took me on that ride. Anyone remember the Smurfs boat ride? Was my MOST favorite ride when I was young. I didnt go in the 2005 season, where did they place the Italian Job at? Now I'm thinking about my childhood memories at PKI when it was just KI. My dad used to do Vibration testing on the roller coasters. Sometimes he would let me skip school and Id go ride the spinning ride next to the Vortex while he rode the Vortex with the test equipment. He got to ride The Beast with no brakes at night, with no lights. Wish I could have.
