On the upshot, King's Island has ALOT MORE LAND to build stuff on, where as Cedar Point has to destroy something whenever they wanna build something else. Someone get Arrow Dynamics on the Phone and tell'em to take their lessons learned playbook on suspended coasters and build a Supersized redeux of The Bat.

I think you missed the memo. Arrow Dynamics went bankrupt.
Fortunately, they were bought by S&S Power .... which is now S&S Arrow.

they didnt have a cover on their TPS reports

I just love how basic specs on the Beast make most coasters look small. It's over 7,400feet of track and has topped 75+MPH...on a wooden track, Pure insanity. The coolest tidbit is when you crest the first hill, you cannot see the bottom. not for lack of a good view, but because...the track goes underground and you can't see where you're going to wind up. I used to work Rides there in 97, and the time i was in the drive shed, I saw the Brake Shed speeds...averaging 54MPH...
