I prob will only be riding Diamondback and The Beast on opening day. The rest of the day will be spent taking pictures with my new camera and just enjoying that it's coaster season again.
If or when they fix/destroy SoB, I would seriously pay for a piece of wood from that ride. I think that it is an incredibly ride that has a lot of wonderful memories in my mind.
Son of Beast blow out special in the shop's around the park, from toothpicks to commerative ornaments, and much more.
Own your piece of memories from the tallest, fastest, only looping Wooden Coaster.
No all jokes aside, I wish the president of Cedar Fair the boss, would rebuild rehab the son of the greatest wooden coaster.
But if not I've got to own part of what was a speical ride.
We shall see, time is gotta to be on the announcement side soon!
Just hope it doesn't poke back. It's capable of poking with enough force to give you serious neck and back injuries, among other things... wait, what was I talking about, again?
I do remember that I said "i'm willing to bet money it would be gone for 2012", and someone said they were willing to bet everything I was wrong. hmmm who was that? i will have to go back and look at previous post. lol
heres to hoping we see a screaming swing... imagine that thing flying over the midway, or the Diamondback track, or The Beast quene / exit area! some kind of awesome placement!
It's for the best, the ride's best days were behind it. When I rode it on opening day last season (the only time I rode it all season) it was in a sad state even with the "ride enhancements", which were just lipstick on a pig in my opinion. Sad to see what was once Tomb Raider, a ride that had entered with a bang as one of the park's biggest investments ever fade into history with a small tweet announcing its end.
The biggest disappointment to me though is that it's not being torn down, the box is an eyesore, but oh well it'll be interesting to see what they do with it for Haunt.
