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 25198 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
