Will The Beast be open this weekend?

I will be at Paramount`s Kings Island tomorrow for the ACE walkback and I was wandering if The Beast will be operating after the accident that occured last Sunday.  I`ve heard some where that it will be open.  Thanks for the help.

Well, I also plan on being there.  Sources say Beast will be open. Recall however that the walkback isn't always to Beast, it sometimes goes to Son of Beast.  Usually detrmined by an informal show of hands unless operational needs dictate otherwise.

I am more curious to see how many trains it is running if it is open.

No, I know about that.  I was just wandering if I would get the opportunity to ride the Beast at some point during my visit, not necesarily for the ACE walkback.

I'm not in the ACE program, but say hi if you see me. I have a pic on here. I'll probably be wearing the same hat, jacket, and dumfounded look on my face. I'll have 2 little girls with me also, ages 4 and 7. The 7 year old will be terribly disappointed if The Beast is not running.
