The Beast was the star. I couldn't get enough of it. The warning signs around the station are so cool. I took 1 ride in a wheel seat -- only 1. I've never been much of a fan of helices on wooden coasters, but this time I loved the one on the Beast. One thing to note: If you have Fast Lane Plus, you don’t have to go all the way out the exit to get back in line. You go down the 3 switchbacks, turn left, and then you come to an intersection. Going right leads to the exit, but going left puts you back in the Fast Lane Plus line. One question: Does the chain on lift 1 speed up when the other train is on lift 2, or when it has cleared lift 2? Mystic Timbers was fun, and one of the things I like is that it's so different from any of the other wooden coasters. The theming is top-notch and really adds to the ride. Diamondback was as much fun as always. I’ve been back at home for almost a week, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit to KI. I think Cedar Fair has done a great job with the park.
