I hate they decided to use those goofy new trains, but hey a hyper is a hyper!

I might actually go back up to KI next year.

The layout looks pretty similar to Behemoth.

Props to them for actually usuing a new name, and one that's not a clear knockoff of Goliath.

Here's hoping this means we will get one someday.

:D


You are banned for saying hyper under the bridge!

Oops, I guess I'm banned too.

The ride, which will span 5,282 feet, will reach 230 feet at its highest point, travel up to 80 mph and do 10 vertical loops


Why can't we have a ride that will travel up to 80mph? I feel cheated, but again I am just glad we are getting something. Even if it's leftovers. :(

WE WE WE WE!!!! AARRGGHHH!!!!

I really really dont get it? When I say "we" "my" "our" I speak of things that I ACTUALLY own!

Hold your breath cause you will be a waiting soul waiting for something to come to THE park that goes 80 MPH

Calm down, man. People say "We", "Our", etc. all the time.

If I am talking about FSU Football, I'll say, "I think we will have a pretty good year this year.". Same with Carowinds. This is normal. Relax. I promise it will be OK.

When Behemoth was announced I thought the same thing, "I love the look of the ride, but the trains look silly!"

Now after riding Behemoth just a week ago I can say they have completely won me over. They look a lot better in person than on the renderings, and they don't mess up the station at all. In fact they might make the station even better since it is so much more spread out. One odd thing that I noticed is that on every other B&M hyper I have been on the back has been THE place to be, but on Behemoth the front was far superior. Not sure if that is a train quirk or a track design quirk, but that first outside seat on the right is absolutely magical. I definitely WILL be heading to Kings Island next year to try this out.

Will say this is the best B7M Hyper I have rode to date. It has a really nice layout and the night rides on it are really great. I went this past weekend and waited a mere 35-40 minutes for 10 rides on it. I will throw some pics up later in the day but some of you know where they already are. This makes me wonder just what Cedar Fair has in store for CArowinds next year.
