Its not going to affect the parks attendance as they all ready demonstrated that when is was closed most of the operating season this year. Who says Son of Beast has no airtime? With the bulky restraint in the way if there was any airtime designed in the ride you wouldn't be able to feel it anyway. I am one of the happy ones what measures the park is taking to get this ride comfortable to ride again. That rose bowl is one of the best elements in a roller coaster. High G's and that is were the Son of Beast's fury starts! Great ride with or without the loop. Vertical loops are boring to me anyways.
