jmicha Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 This is my recreation of the beast at King's Island. This has been an on-and-off project that started shortly after No Limits came out. This is the fifth version I have made of The Beast, and the only completed version. Overall, I am very happy with the way the ride turned out. I built it based on only two videos as I've never been on it, and on the statistics listed on RCDB. The ride is designed to be a recreation of The Beast in its current state with the magnetic trims and the elimination of the MCBR. Overall, the length of my recreation is 7,286 ft., only 73ft. away from the true length of Beast, which is 7,359 ft. (not 7,400 as commonly stated). This is less than a foot of error for every hundred feet of track, which is the maximum limit I allow in recreations. I hope you all enjoy on this recreation of The Beast the beast (mine).nltrack Enjoy Two Lifts on The Beast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmicha Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 Thanks. I wanted to make the most realistic recreation of this coaster as I could as the only Beast recreations I have seen online have been relatively poor. The lengths were way off (one wasn't even 5,500 feet) and the way the track was designed was too smooth. The beast has many straight sections of track with zero lead-ins. I think I achieved getting the feeling of an out-of-control Beast running through the woods and I'm glad to hear that you really liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they really like that? By the way, awesome coaster... but that ride... has a VERY boring layout... [i know it's a recreation.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmicha Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 There's actually a technical reason for the long banking transitions. The ride opened with 8-seater PTC trains, which aren't articulated like the GCI cars and Intamin's wooden trains. If I remember right, the maximum banking change was around 1 degree for every foot of track with the eight seater trains. Now, the ride operates with six-seater trains which can bank slightly faster, but there'd obviously be no reason to change the ride. From what I've heard, you really have to ride it (preferably at night)to get the full experience of the ride. The ride gets mixed reviews however. Some love it while others hate it. I feel that when I finally get to ride it, I'll love it, as I love the sensation of speed and the fact that it is secluded out in the forest is amazing in my opinion.

SFOGdude25 Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Great job dude! That recreation is almost perfect! I sure hope that we can make accurate underground tunnels in No Limits 2, but other than that, I congratulate you! I love this ride so much!

CP_RULES Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 It looks accurate from what pictures Ive seen, but I guess I never realised till now how dull and lackluster the ride really is! Maybe its better in real life...? One thing I think simulators cant simulate is that crazy, wild, fun feeling of a good woody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmicha Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 Exactly. From what I've heard, the ride has the classic "rough" woodie feel and that makes the ride much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its fast loud and rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
