Good evening readers!!!


Just wanted to give all you lovelies a bit of good news in this pretty boring and lackluster summer.

And don't worry because we will, for sure, be riding all our favorites!!

The Beast - 35th Anniversary!!

Happy 35th Birthday to King's Island The Beast!!!!

Hello peoples!!

Yesterday was the 35th Anniversary of The Beast at King's Island.  In 1979 King's Island unveiled the monster that we know and love to the public.

So here is some info about the angry coaster:
 

Length:	7,359 ft
Height:	110 ft
Drop:	141 ft
Inversions:	0
Speed:	64.8 mph**
Duration:	4:10

Capacity: 1,200 riders per hour

**(We call BS on this because ISI has clocked her running around 80mph and anyone who has ridden the coaster knows that as it gets cooler outside Beast runs faster.  I killed a bug with my face because of her speed, trust me.)
