    Off topic but its a sad day. There was an accident at the Ohio Sate fair and a ride malfunctioned. There was 1 death and 6 injured. I am grateful that Cedar Fair as a wonderful team that takes care of our rides. Prayers out to the families. This is was I do not ride the rides they take down and put back up every other week.

    What could 2018 bring KI

    If you're talking about a tumble tower, I think HUSS is pretty much done atm as far as a company goes. I think they did get bought out but are still restructuring. There whole large capacity flat rides have all been riddled with problems and I don't think you've even been able to buy them now for a few years.

    Topple Tower. Huss still has an active website.

    Thanks for the memory share! That was a good one. I will go even further and remember I was so scared to ride a stand up coaster. I was around 9 years old and thinking how is that safe at all. King Cobra was also an awesome site to see. Looking back at it now it was tiny but at 9 I was like wow people stand up on there. I went years and year not riding it. It was the only one I would not do. A couple years later I go up to Cedar Point with friends and they wanted to ride Mantis ( way way way bigger then King Cobra). I was like oh crap I can't look like a chicken and rode it. It was awesome!!! I went right back to KI and got on Kinga Cobra before they took it down. Too bad stand up's are so uncomfortable.

    Mean Streak was fun. It wasn't overly rough until the last couple years of existence. That's just my opinion though. There are some steel coasters that were worse then MS ever was. Example: Carolina Cobra's at Carowinds is terrible. Sorry I kinda went off topic.

    I still think It would of been awesome if they RMC'd SOB. Just imaging what kind of coaster KI would have now if they did. Banshee may be where Mystic Timbers is now. MT may not be here. SOB was massive and seeing those Iron Horse tacks going through that structure would be insane!!!

    Too bad they did't use a different manufact for SOB. I am sure another company would of crushed it and it would still be around!! I am just not sure what wooden coaster comp would take on such a project. Also too bad Cedar Fair didn't own the park before to design and pick a better manufact.
