Oldschool75 7292 Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 31 minutes ago, FUN&ONLY! said: I do think the Son of Beast station has served its last Halloween Haunt and is probably going to be demolished in the off season, but why? It doesn’t make sense to spend money on demolishing the station when they can just not spend the money and not lose anything. I don’t think they are putting a ride in there anytime soon, but this will an be interesting development to watch if the station ends up being demolished later this year. General Improvements? Restaurant? Wouldn't it be cool to eat out on a deck structure while watching Banshee go flying by? Like I said before, the park doesn't spend money unless they need to for a project. Doesn't always mean a new ride. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
silver2005 25205 Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Realize the SOB station is that of a wooden coaster that hasn't been maintained since 2009. Might be a few structural issues potentially. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

They flipped on the old Flight Commander lights before razing the station and announcing KMAA So are you saying that they are turning light on and off and they are gonna tear this down and build a new old car ride??? Why would they do another one? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BB1 5820 Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 To be frank, the SOB station and that whole region of the park needs to open up for future expansion into the old Safari plains if they want to grow the park out. If you remove SOB's station, regrade the whole area to be more open, the various choke points that were once an issue turns into a walkway that easily takes you into a new area of the park. I don't personally see such an expansion for a long time, but it's just something to be mindful of for the future of the park. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
gforce1994 2489 Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 More markers have appeared at the drop off lot. It looks like they will tear out the drop off lot. Link to post Share on other sites
gforce1994 2489 Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago There are now pink spray markers by Zephyr around the Kill Mart building. The markers can be seen from Zephyr and Racer. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, when they did their flats addition a few years back they got a Zephyr, a Top Scan, a Musik Express, and a Troika. Either a Top Scan or Musik Express would fit nicely in that Killmart spot. If money were no object, I'd probably put a Top Scan down by Shake, Rattle, and Roll and put the Musik Express where Killmart is. Link to post Share on other sites
Benjamin22 2405 Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago While another flat in coney mall would be nice I really think Rivertown or Oktoberfest could use a new flat more. Link to post Share on other sites

I absolutely agree. Here’s another idea, the spot could be used for Shake Rattle and Roll- allowing for more open land on the old Vortex site. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Although, a flat for family members waiting on Orion and FOF riders would be a nice addition. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
