PKI Jizzman Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I'm just here to test out the quick reply feature. I mean, I'm really happy with all of the little changes they're doing to keep the park looking great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intamin_coyote Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 (edited) A picture of the new ("old") paint scheme for The Beast this year.... "The Beast has awakened from its long winter's nap to begin its initial test cycles in preparation for its 40th anniversary season. #KingsIsland #TheBeast" And they also brought back the paw prints "This year mark's the 40th anniversary of the world's longest wooden roller coaster, The Beast, and we're pulling out all the stops to celebrate in a special way including bringing back the paw prints. #Beast40 #KingsIsland" -- Say what you will about the Beast, but words cannot describe how much I love this coaster. And it warms my heart to see the park adding in all these nice touches to commemorate its anniversary!

pǝʇɹǝʌuı Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I really like the new/old color scheme on the train. I think it's awesome that it not only looks better than the plain red train, but it also pays homage to the ride's history. Of course, all my memories of the Beast are with the red trains. But I love this color scheme and the fact that I know that it's retro makes me not hate the change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KICoasterkev Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 The park also updated The Beast sign, it really looks good! Love all these little things they're doing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Those all look very nice. Glad to see the Beast getting the attention it deserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Finn Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 These are the little things that I think guests WILL notice. Maybe not every little detail. But for all the things they're doing this year, guests are bound to pick up on some of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Anyone else see this? People on the first 40 trains of Beast get a commemorative T-shirt. Instagram Man I really want to get that shirt but I'm wondering how crazy early I'd have to arrive to get on the first 40 trains? At least KI is good with organizing crowds (such as when Timbers was new) so I feel pretty confident that they'd lead people down so it wouldn't be a mad rush.

RollerManic Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I really like the improvements the park is making this year. Here's also to hope they bring back any more of the Beast's original features while they're at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intamin_coyote Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Possibly. Either that or they cleaned up the existing ones really well. There does seem to be a bit of a shine to them. And on an unrelated note, this paint scheme is suddenly giving me a serious urge to buy Starburst! Legend has it they're being paid off by them to implement 'subliminal advertisements' into their rides. (Lol jk not really, but if this was Six Flags it'd be a prime opportunity to do so ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDD27 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 ^Cedar fair will go out of their way to keep some charm in the parks, hence the beast prints being brought back, whereas at six flags you don't even know what your riding anymore the roller coasters have just become giant speeding ads I'm actually amazed the walkways in the parks haven't been plastered yet, but regardless I'll take charm over ads any day in the long run to me it will bring in more people and make up for not having ads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Really glad to see them restoring the Glockenspiel and Festhaus building. I remember seeing that for the first time and thinking that it was going to be like the one at BGW...we're all like, "Yay Festhaus! Oom-Pah bands and BEER!!!!" What a f%cking total disappointment to walk in and see a pizza place, ice cream, an arcade and a Burger King or whatever crap was in there! Love the Beast stuff too...I remember those tracks from back in the day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
