It Appears That The Hatchetfield Series Has Officially Become A Hyperfixation, So Don't Be Surprised

It appears that the Hatchetfield series has officially become a hyperfixation, so don't be surprised if you get jumpscared with Starkid any time soon while trying to look at roller coasters on here XD

We're shaking things up today and heading to Busch Gardens Tampa for some images of Cheetah Hunt!

Fun fact about me, cheetahs are my favorite animal, and have been since I was a kid! I was pretty ecstatic to go on this coaster, and was even more excited to not only see that there were cheetah facts in the queue, but that there was a bunch of detail work! Everything from the cheetah-shaped rock in queue (image 2) to the design of the train to the ride experience itself made me incredibly happy.

And speaking of the experience, an Intimin multi-launch was an excellent choice for a cheetah-themed roller coaster. Also you get to see a beautiful view of the whole park from what I've been nicknaming the "bowtie" in image 5. There's also some airtime going up there, so that's cool. And besides that section where you get a moment to breathe, the whole ride is exciting high-speed action! I was lucky enough to get to ride Cheetah Hunt twice while I was in Tampa, and I wouldn't hesitate to go on it again!

Prepare thyselves for SeaWorld posts soon! I've ridden Journey to Atlantis, Mako, and Manta so far and I can't wait to get on everything else!!!

(I'll give you guys a list of the coasters I've ridden today at the end of the day!)

Would anyone be interested in reading about my Kings Island OCs? I have a funky little itch to talk about them, but I don't want to ramble if nobody's interested lol

Oh yeah! I almost forgot!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE SMILER!!!

To the ride that got me into roller coasters, theme parks, and theme park lore, I hope you have a smooth day of operation today! May your dispatches be fast and your queue plentiful from popularity! Thank you for getting me to where I am today!

I've decided that cringe culture is dead, so welcome to part 1 of me introducing my Kings Island OCs! We're starting off with one of my favorites:

The Beast!

(All of my OCs can be found under the tag #Disaster's OCs, while character introductions will be under #Character Intros. Info about the universe in which this character resides will be under the tag #Parkverse!)

Name: Taylor Baxter

Pronouns: He/Him

Physical Description: Ginger hair that’s long enough to put into a small ponytail (usually somewhat unkempt); beard & mustache; thick eyebrows; tall; incredibly muscular; strikingly yellow eyes w/ slit, cat-like pupil (think Son of Beast logo); covered in various scars that he’s collected over the years; wears a necklace with one of Son of Beast’s teeth on it; usually wearing a flannel; brown boots; always has something on his wrists, which can be anything from bracelets to hair ties depending on the day; notably long canines; significant chest & arm hair

Ride-Realized Description: Somewhat stereotypical “werewolf”-like; beastly yellow eyes; covered in thick orange fur; long, sharp, silver claws; horns on head; wolf-like tail; sharp teeth w/ notably pronounced canines; varies between quadrupedal & bipedal movement; digitigrade legs; usually ends up tearing his clothes 9 times out of 10; outfit wise; he usually has whatever now-torn-up clothes he was wearing before & chains around his wrists. He tries to make a point to give those around him something to restrain him with considering how admittedly little control he tends to have over himself when he’s Ride-Realized

Misc. Info:

- He seems all big & tough (and he is-), but he’s really an overall giant softie

- Has a low, fairly gravelly voice

- Known to have a bit of a temper, however he’s gotten better at managing his rage & calming himself down over the years

- Knows pretty much every calming breathing technique because The Beast has given him some of the worst anger issues known to man. He’s usually the one who will show up to help if someone’s freaking out; he’s the best at calming other people down because he’s gotten so good at calming himself down.

- DO NOT make him mad if you can avoid it. If he does get mad, find another Ride Rep to calm him down, & fast. If he’s truly pissed off at you, he will show you no mercy.

- On that note, it’s also recommended to NOT threaten his friends. Taylor considers his friends to be his family, & he is incredibly protective of his family.

- Probably has minor back pain

- Runs really warm. My man is basically a walking heater with how high his natural body temperature runs lol

- As mentioned before, despite him having worked with The Beast for 45 years now, he still often struggles with keeping himself & his emotions (particularly his rage) in check, especially while he’s Ride-Realized. Due to this, he usually always has something on his person & in multiple places stashed around the park that if he loses control, that others Reps around him could potentially restrain him until he calms down. Traditionally, this takes the form of the classic The Beast chains.

- If he’s particularly frustrated or excited, he’ll sometimes end up slipping into a mild country accent.

- The kind of guy who goes on morning walks. He's got incredible endurance.

- Ever since the loss of Son of Beast, he's essentially more or less "adopted" all of the other Reps in the park. In other words, he's the ultimate dad friend.
