So I’ve seen the recent teaser posters throughout various parks and I’m not sure why you guys are not more excited. The first I saw was this wonderful RMC indicator:
To me “Oak Bound and Iron Strong would hint to a wood and steel coaster. Additionally it ties Mason to Sandusky (SteVe) Okay maybe no big deal right?
Then we have this poster allegedly found at Cedar Point
So, this has numerous references to SOB (Number 5 is alive, Outpost 5, Clearly a picture of Beasts station, Site 6919 which backwards and flipped upside down as is the 5 on the cart reveals the closing date of SOB as 6-19-9 (look it up its real). Huge clues right there.
So today we get this teaser poster from Kings Dominion
This has obvious references to The Beast and another view of the station. It also has rough sketches of RMC Hurler’s cue line with the star and orb.
Additionally we all know the reports of Fred Grubbs and other Cedar Fair Executives recently in the park. Do you think they were studying The Racer and formulating plans in front of guests during business hours? Come on now really?
So I’m a long time lurker pre Banshee and I’ve seen how these campaigns go. It makes no sense to me why they would throw in SOB hints if they didn’t have a plan to come back and redeem this coaster. This also lends to hints throughout KI with The flame having SOB wood and the barrel and pitchfork scene. Why would you remind customers of a failed coaster unless there were plans to make it right? It wouldn’t make sense as a business.
Additionally park attendance and season pass has been down this year according to the 2nd quarter financials and they are building a 2 billion dollar new entertainment complex in Columbus.
My guess is a ground up RMC. 2019 is likely out of the question. Tell me your thoughts. I sincerely hope they can redeem SOB as it seems like they have a great multi park storyline they are presenting to us!
