The best kept secret is Kings Island's plan for SOB's future... Sorry XD Probably for me.. would be top gun

I think Adventure Express is pretty cool at night

All that it really says to me is "Well......we have thought about it. We can at least let people know that it's on the table."

I like The Beast

Flight Deck is also awesome at night but The Beast is awesome too especially at Halloween Haunt with the fog and beast eating a dude

I think anyone whose paycheck says "Cedar Fair, LP" in the upper, left-hand corner laughs every time they read this thread. I agree with whoever said that the Haunt display designers probably know no more than the Dippin' Dots Guy when it comes to the future of SOB. i would agree that CF brass have to know what the future holds for it. It's too large of a structure, too much of a potential insurance liability to leave go, etc... Personal opinion- given its history of "personal injury" claims- I'm not sure they would find an insurance company that would cover it. My bet is that sometime very soon after November 1- there will be an announcement regarding it's future, and if I'm a bettin' man i'm putting money on it won't be favorable for "fans". Anybody that thinks that CF will announce their thinking before action doesn't pay attention to their past. Geauga Lake patrons were not told that the park wouldn't reopen until it was closed for the season. KI will probably announce it the Day after the park closes for the season so fans of SOB won't chain themselves to the structure in an effort to save it.

I told you I would be shamelessly plugging!

Hypothetical...if it were completely safe to ride, just uncomfortable...the park could keep it around and only open it during Halloween Haunt every year themed as something like "Journey Into Hell"...then people would think it was cool because it was accurate. Didn't we have a whole thread about a coaster that was a journey to hell? Oh wait, that was just journey to euthanasia.

As a courtesy to those of us that appreciate reading proper English, I have translated coasterfreak22108's post just above this one. I have also shown my work. Original: On the 1st a group of us was walking by the exit of BBoBH and there was like 4 girls and a guy that we was right behind you could tell they were scared. We was walking fast then them and on the was by my brother yelled RUN with an evil voice I swear 2 of the girls peed their pants. Work: On the 1st, a group of us was were walking by the exit of BBoBH, and there was were like 4 four girls and a guy that we was were right behind. you You could tell they were scared. We was were walking fast faster then than them, and on the was way by my brother yelled "RUN" with an evil voice. I swear 2 two of the girls peed their pants.

It was entirely too hard to read in its original state.

I also noticed the gravestone and coffin seem to be sinking into the ground......it is, after all close to Vortex!

On foundations built by.... Terp, who learned long ago that simple answers often aren't as concrete as they seem.

With the size of your group, both Fast Lane and Fright Lane would only be $30 per a person each and (in my opinion) would both be well worth it. Otherwise, expect to accomplish very little and wait very much. Fright Lane lanyards can be ordered HERE, Fast Lane wristbands can be ordered HERE. If you choose not to use Fright/Fast Lane, my advice would be: If your whole group has Gold/Platinum passes, take advantage of the hour ERT at Beast and Diamondback Even if you don't do ERT, arrive at the park before opening and try to do as many major rides as quickly as possible. This is especially true with lower capacity attractions like Invertigo, Backlot Stunt Coaster and Firehawk. Eat lunch and dinner at irregular times to avoid long waits at the food stands Visit more minor attractions in the afternoon while the major attractions have longer waits When certain Haunt attractions open at 5pm, do them quickly and avoid the major crowds later in the day Ride waits are (typically) not as long during Haunt as they are during the day. There are exceptions, but Haunt may be a good time to do anything you missed earlier The park empties out tremendously within the last hour of operation. After 12:30am, many rides and houses have little to no wait - take advantage of this Beyond that, simply have a good time and what-not
