PTR - PKI 28 June 2006

I wasn't even going to go up - I was pretty tired after work. But I went anyway. Got to ride Son of Beast, Face/Off, Adventure Express, Racer North, Vortex and Beast.

 

Beast is running VERY smooth - even in the back of the train! You can see soo much new wood on it. The old wood is that red color - the new wood is just regular yellow-green.

Racer was running great too.

Nice Delirium/Tower shot.

"Who said a wood coaster can't have a loop?"

But now it is running great!

Son of Beast used to be so rough that only people made out of plastic could withstand the force.

Looks like that car either got repainted - or washed with TIDE.

Drop Zone's new paint looks great!

Delirium is back to its great old self.

I am really glad I read your post... Beast was always my favorite ride, until last year when I seriously thought I was going to end up with brain stem damage. It was God-awful, and I thought it was my *cough* age catching up with me, at least until I rode Holiday World's sweet woodies.

 

If there has been some work on Beast, I might be willing to give him another shot this season, especially since my daughter is tall enough to ride now.

 

Great pix!

You might want to ride it in a middle row of a car just to be safe. But it has improved greatly. I rode on a wheel toward the beginning of the year and it sucked. I didn't ride again for a few weeks - then tried it again - and it was great. I have done it 5 or 6 times since that BAD ride - and each time it has been even smoother. Now it seems that even wheel seats aren't that rough!

 

A few weeks ago I rode my favorite coaster at the park - Vortex - and got a bad headache. I was going to go home - but I promised a friend of mine on the Beast crew I would stop in and say hi. So I rode - and it was SMOOTHER THAN VORTEX! Then I rode again on a wheel - and it was just as smooth! I couldn't believe it!

 

Of course it varies from day to day - hour to hour - but I would say you would be pretty safe giving it another try. Its great this year!
