cfc Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 ^^Well done, Luko. I've heard stories about skunk encounters at KD before; apparently, there used to be a family of polecats living under Grizzly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godwyn Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 That skunk totally freaked me out when I seen it come out of the bushes! I've got it on video but I don't have the software with me to upload it . Too bad the skunk doesn't explain the smell in Volcano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simlesa Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 East Coast - Day 5 Today we spent (most of) the day at Six Flags America in Maryland. It was voted once again to leave early and get extra sleep for the day at Busch Gardens. --Luko Since we left the park early, we had extra time for a Walmart ERT. Advertising provided by Schwarzkopf, the roller coaster and styling gel manufacturer. An amusement park is not supposed to have guests see these kind of "ruins". Most of us took a ride on the Blizzard River water ride before heading for lunch. Superman Ride of Steel runs very different from it's New England cousin. Our ERT started on Batwing, the Vekoma flyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 Today we bring you random photos from Behemoth Bash. These pictures are in no particular order, and were taken by Robb, Hanno, Dan, Natalie, and lots of other random people who totally kick ass. "Are you my mother?" Behemoth Bash was a HELL of a lot of fun! Thanks to Canada's Wonderland for helping sort out such a great event! "The Girls of TPR" Everyone loves Behemoth! NERDS!!! "Hey world! We're here with Behemoth!!!" I think I see Jesus! We had Q&A with some of the park head honchos. They told us cool stuff and we were all jealous of their awesomesness. "We are playin metric Skee Ball...it says 10 points, but it's really 80" Ryan won the trivia contest by giving himself a bonus 100 points! "I am sooooo wet right now!" Cute...yup! The Fly - does it mean the "buzz, buzz, buzz" insect or the thing on your pants? Behemoth was a huge hit with TPR's gay community. Choose front or back...sit down...scream! Two hours of Behemoth ERT makes people just a little loopy... Sledgehammer looks awesome, but it's kind of time...fun yes, but not as crazy as it looks. Pure B&M hyper heaven. "Welcome to EMO....enjoy your ride!' Helixy, Helix, Helix. The crazy turnaround. Behemoth's mirror image. Any topspin that basically turns a firehose onto it's riders gets high points in my book! "I no longer need any women...." "I love this park." The park is breathtaking. If Behemoth was a teenage subculture.... Yay! More Behemoth!!! One of these things is not like the other....one of these things does not belong... "Hi....I'm fat." Theme Park Revue presents "Independence Day." I owe the Stunt Coaster crew a HUGE thank you for saving my iPhone from destruction. For the real sad and pathetic coaster geeks, the photo walkback was better than "normal" sex. Are you an inversion or not? Wet TPR members or Canadian Car Wash. You decide. Yo Mr. Sign. How's it going? Night time Vortex ERT was *very* sexy! Vekoma brace position. Now you don't. Now you see him... And you thought the Titanic sank fast.... Roxanne flashes the boys... The Money Shot! The bizarre seating configuartion actually worked really well! Only thing was there seemed to be a lot of empty seats on each train. This rides needs a single rider line badly! "Can we please go back to Behemoth now?" "Hello, I'm Behemoth. This is why you are here today. I hope you enjoy my awesomeness." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ghost Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 OMG I love B&M Hypers so much. Of course the only one I have ever ridden was Apollo. Behemoth looks awesome and I love the awesome helix drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Johnson Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 The only B&M Hyper I have yet to ride is Silver Star. Behemoth is my favorite B&M Hyper, I was really impressed with it. Edit: Oops, I forgot about the Canadian Goliath and the mini one in Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginzo Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Nice memories of Canada's Wonderland. Despite the overall questionable nature of Wonderland's coaster line up, it really is an excellent park. Great atmosphere, well-kept. Probably the nicest Cedar Far park I've been to. Throw in an Intamin coaster or two and you'd have something quite special. It could happen. Their maintenance director told us he's "not scared of Intamin".

Ryancrash Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Behemoth Bash RAWKED!! Behemoth was my 400th coaster back in May - but that day, I only got a few rides on it, since the park was so crowded. At Behemoth Bash, I got to ride it 18 times - damn I love ERT! (Nighttime ERT on Vortex was pretty sweet too.) Behemoth is such a great ride, possibly my favorite B&M hyper - and I so LOVE B&M hypers! I think I like it even better than Nitro. (Now I can start counting down the months until Diamondback opens at Kings Island...) The world can never have enough hypercoasters! Robb, I have to disagree with your assessment of Behemoth as an "emo" coaster. Yeah, I know the three letters appear in the coaster's moniker - but emo? Maybe I'm off target here, but I think of "emo" as being overly-sensative, a bit whiny, mopey, introspective, ultra-PC, a bit lazy - basically, the exact polar OPPOSITE of everything that Behemoth is! Hey, they don't call it a HYPERcoaster for nothing... (Then again, what do I know about emo...) Thanks Robb, Elissa and TPR for another awesome event!

I see my name written off to the left hand side. I believe it was the Jiggidy question. Actually Jeff, I wrote you down twice, both times as WRONG answers - my trivia sheet had a LOT of wrong answers! (Hence the dire need for the magical octopus with the 100 bonus points.) As Erik pointed out, I confused you and him on the Jiggidy question. Then I listed you as one of Robb's former roommates - I had a right answer to begin with (Dave Thomas), then I crossed out his name and put yours instead. Wow, I sure know my fellow TPR members well!

eBen Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 THanks to B&Ms high capacity there were more seats available on the ride than people on the trip given there were other rides open at the time. Which meant I could stay on the train non stop!! Shuffling once in a while of course. It made me very very happy, all manner of theoretical fluids were flowing. And heres another nerdy moment for you: Walk back = missionary position; Seat# 2.3.4 = doggie. mmmmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Thriller Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I been on many B&M hypers, but really none of them look like anything compared to this. Great pictures, --James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groteslurf Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Great update. We loved Behemoth too when we rode it end of May. How are the trims nowadays ? When we rode it, all trims were of and we understood that there was somebody from B&M coming the week after to arrange the trims. About the empty seats, we saw that too in in CW but we also saw that in the US parks we visited. I in fact can only remember that the ops of TTD bothered looking for single rides when there was an empty seat, but that was probably because of the trainweight which was needed to make the tophat at the right speed. Don't recall the KK ops doing the same though. Anyway, on all other coasters we did during our trip, the ops didn't really care that the train left 10 to 20 % empty.

Erik Johnson Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Other than the mid-brake-run, I only noticed a slight trim on the first or second hill after the over bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandaman Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Now I really wish I had went up with the rest of the walkback group and hadn't taken all my pictures from the non-lake side of Behemoth. Awesome times, Robb. Thanks again for what was unequivocally the best day I've ever had at a park! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaseyFish Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Definately missing everyone on this trip.....2/3rds of my harem is there...lol:) Hopefully next time, I gotta bring back the makeshift bar to the trips. Will keep looking at the pics, enjoy the rest of "adult summer camp" because people who have been on these trips, we know what really goes on.
