I dunno Robb, there were still only like a couple spots to have air. I just don't care for helices, whether be it on this ride or the Legend or whatever

It certainly was one of the worst of the full sized CCI coasters. I still think that award might go to Cheetah, but I haven't ridden that in a long time. But yeah, not their best work by any means.

I dont know. The hills were kinda rampy but even with the g-trains I didnt think it was THAT bad. After being told by people it was one of the worst rides ever.. I got on thinking it was going to be like SOB or Beast... But it was just kinda 'ouch' in the first helix... But not to the point where I didnt reride.. Unlike SOB where once a day is good... I was able to ride Hurricane 8 full laps in 1 day.. 2-3 in a row!
(and i took 1 night ride the day before.. and also on the last ride of the night I got walked down the lift hill! yay 9.05 rides ::D )


Is something wrong with The Beast or Son of Beast? Kings Island is my home park and those two rides are two of my three favorite!

And some rumors are saying that Son of Beast is getting the trains from Hurricane... don't know what to make of that

what is up with all the wooden coasters coming down? Poor wooden coasters. You hurt people in the past so now I guess its your turn to feel the same pain that we felt when we rode you.

Son of Beast gave me a bruise the size of a cantelope last July. I don't really care to ride it ever again.

Hurricane's last ride

Postby htomc42 » Mon Mar 12, 2007 9:12 pm

Actually, I rode the Hurricane a couple of last times during the Pavilion park's "Last Ride" event on Sept. 30th. I found that you could "ride" it certain ways through the helices so that the dreadful shaking really wasn't too bad. It was still rough, though.

That whole historic downtown amusement area is going to suffer for this.. it will be very weird, this summer will be the first time in about 75 years that there haven't been some kind park or rides in that area.

They tore down the Haunted Hotel dark ride too.
