    I had heard somewhere that there was another company that was originally supposed to build SOB. That's when PKI took over. Isn't it possible that they (PKI) were really not prepared or skilled enough to build this one? Maybe the other company could have done a better job. I've also heard rumors that they had to replace quite a bit of the wood initially because it was inferior. Anyone know? All I know is that if you use inferior materials, you will have an inferior ride with many problems. Just my .02.

     

    If they had just used good wood, it would have been the perfect candidate for an RMC coaster at Kings Island.

    What could have been.

  2. If this is about being imaginative, there are rides I wouldn't mind relocated around the park. From a business standpoint, I don't see the benefit of moving any rides around within the park.

  3. 2018: Didn't go...First season in some time.

    Other parks were more enticing. Banshee is good but has lost its new ride appeal. I don't live close enough to abuse the season long meal plan. Diamondback is a great ride but has become repetitive as the premier steel coaster, it can use a compliment. A giga coaster would be a great investment for the park to put their coaster collection over the top

    2018 was a cleanse, looking forward to a recharged 2019.

    Why?  There is no point.  It serves no purpose except to aggravate people.  Someone will get hurt one day running all the way around (for no reason) then where will they be?

    Mason Ohio.

    I guess they believe no rerides are the lesser of the two evils liability wise..

    @RollerColt Yeah social media can be bad. Twitter is the worst.

     

    I dont even know how Im supposed to comprehend this tweet, let alone decipher it.

    Don makes his own blue ice cream hot cocoa is all I got from it.

  6. King Cobra was actually a well done standup coaster. This was largely do to how short and sweet the course was.

    On the flip side was Mantis at Cedar Point. While the lift hill and first couple elements were enjoyable, somewhere along the way I'd start thinking it would be nice if the ride was over already.

    While I personally would love a massage after a long day, would anyone want to give a massage to someone who is dripping sweat after having spent all afternoon in 100+ heat??? Especially at the KI rate of pay???

    I think you'd be surprised. 

    Also many places offer table shower.

  8. I think Kings Island should consider making some merchandise limited edition and be marketed as such. Doing so would increase the exclusivety and make the merchandise feel more like collector items instead of just nic nacs.

     

    Would anyone here sell their piece of Son of Beast track for the same price they bought it for? I doubt it.

    The speculation is that the new giga if we get one will be some sort of recincarnation of the SoB because Outpost 5 was the SoB station. So it could be a diversion but know one knows till the official announcement 

    I can see if it used the old Son of Beast station it being relevant. That doesn't seem likely to me with Banshee over there.

    The only other thing I can think of is the possible Giga having a single loop. If that becomes reality I will be jumping for joy and fist pumping at the same time.

    There's a TON of people sharing @RuthlessAirtimes video on facebook and twitter thinking its the real deal. I've seen @chugh43 going up to bat telling people it's just a fan video^_^

    Can't say I blame the public. I was shown it by someone and almost believed it for a minute since I had been out of the coaster loop for a bit. I got on here and saw there was no thread about it so I knew it wasn't real. Seems like shooting people down about it on social media would be fun for the people that like to anoint themselves as unofficial moderators on here.

  10. Assuming isn't the same as speculating. That's why I specifically used terms that were indefinite. Speculating about something can be fun.

    Want to make a friendly wager? I predict the B&M project will be a Giga, what say you? If one of us gets it right, we can change the other person's signature on here to say what we want it to.
