(There was actually a picture of me, and I should have bought it, where half of my back is off the seat- wing seat) because while going the chain, I decided to move my back half off the seat and see if I can move it back before we got to the top- I couldn't, and I couldn't move once we crested the hill. I know the restraints are strange, but I will say they did keep me in. 😂😂

"Magnum is a national treasure and I cringe when I hear talk of removing it for something else."-Thank you for saying that. I'm a big fan of Arrow coasters and they always seem to be polarizing riders but I desperately hope that Magnum and Viper remain standing despite the opinions of their detractors. As more and more of Arrow's coasters are torn down for dubious reasons, large chunks of roller coasters history are being erased as many of these now defunct Arrow creations were record breakers when they opened.

Okay I LOVE wooden roller coasters and I've ridden almost every CCI in the country (I would kill to ride Mega Zeph), and I have to say that The Legend is my favorite wooden roller coaster. I like it more than Outlaw Run, Mystic Timbers, Lightning Rod, etc. I really don't see why everybody thinks it's that rough. It doesn't even have any jackhammer moments or anything. I love getting thrown around every turn and that curved drop is INSANE! Plus it gives some great airtime in places. My favorite wooden coasters are 1. Legend 2. Rampage 3. Mystic Timbers 4. Beast 5. Outlaw Run. That being said, I found The Raven to be more rough than The Legend! On Boss, I like it enough. Honestly, there are three main problems with it: The Gerstlauer trains, the midcourse brake run, and that wide turn after the midcourse brake run. The Gerstlauer trains run on square wheels. Legend used to have them, but they were replaced by PTC trains I think two years later. Six Flags St. Louis needs to get some. The midcourse brake run slows down the ride too much when it's supposed to be focused on speed. That turn after the mid course is WAY too high off the ground. It slows down the ride so much that it's in danger of volleying sometimes and the sometimes have to add sandbags to trains. If Six Flags St. Louis replaced the trains, did some extra retracking, loosened up the mid course, and lowered that turn, it would be an elite coaster.

It’s all about expectations. I went in expecting a beatdown on the legend and came away very impressed and had a fun time on it, kings island is my home park and I’ve rode the beast my entire life and it’s just never done anything for me. It’s a rough and boring ride but it is a fun time if you ride it with some friends and especially at night. Valravn never disappointed me either. I love the drop and the inversions and the views are amazing from the top. I went in expecting a very fun ride and it delivered

Apollo's Chariot is a strong hyper which, from the back row (at least when I rode it), was pulling strong floa-jecter airtime at a couple of points. Sure, the hills were mostly floater, but the main drop and one of the last hills were strong from the back. Plus, it did pull some decent positives in the helix. Had the edges of my vision graying a bit on that.

I rode it on Halloween and I got so much airtime and with some hella strong floater and ejector on every single drop even standing airtime on a few of them it was the best it’s ever run in years!! And with the freedom of the B&M Hyper trains leaning towards on the edge of the train while on the helix was an awesome experience

I love the floater air on Nitro, especially in the front row. Steel Force is a must-ride in the front. I get launched out of my seat every time I ride it. I don't get any pain on SkyRush from the lap-bars. I've seen a lot of people say the worst part for the pain was on the brake run before the station. The last time I rode SkyRush, I felt the restraints actually loosen a bit after stopping on that final brake run.

I honestly think converting Legend to the park’s first RMC would be a huge mistake. Why not just get GCI to come in and retrack it. If they were to add an RMC I’d rather see them build a separate hybrid I-BOX that’s ground up similar to Zadra and SteVe, but maybe smaller. For me The Legend is rough, but not painfully rough. Although I do have to admit when I was apart of the GP in 2017, a year after its retracking, the ride I got on it was really horrible. But then I rerode it in 2019 and loved it so much.

I have heard that Intamin actually designed the Lapbars to staple the riders because of the insane forces the ride creates and the Steep lifthill Puts the Riders in the perfect Position for that. Now I havent ridden it so I can't confirm it but people said that the restraints are released slightly on the Brake run (it appears that the restraints don't Always do that tho). But If its true that would be reason why they are this way. Apparently Flying Aces doesn't have that Problem which may be because the Lapbars don't need to staple you because the forces are Nowhere near as crazy as Skyrush. It would definitely be a weird move to Design Lapbars that can hurt peoples legs to death.

I actually think the Beast is a great thrill coaster. I love the laterals on the first turn after the first drop and the double helix. I also find the back section of this ride (between the rooved section and secound lift hill) to be really fun. There are some dead sections, but overall I think it’s a great coaster.

I’m gonna comment on Legend here because I feel like I have a different opinion on it than most people. I fall into the category of loving it, and I’m all for keeping old woodies around and all that. And even though Legend is one of my favorite woodies, I prefer Raven and we also can’t forget that HW has Voyage. However, as much as I love it, I can’t deny that it has a layout that’s made for RMC. It even makes sense from a marketing perspective. First hybrid in the Midwest (because Storm Chaser is all steel). They could even tie in the Headless Horseman theme. The original theme is escaping from him, but how about he captured you and now you become the Horseman, chasing after others?
