Looks like a great coaster. The only thing I can think of to make it a better ride was if they build a coaster like this in the woods of Kings Island with that rock wall. Odder Thing have happend. No this is not a rumor I just think that would be cool.

The was the 20th year of Kings Island Special on Channel 12. I have a copy of it but is very small and was made for a ipod video. The file its self it very big it does not show alot of the ride. It shows mostly pictures of Kings Island back in the 1990 and Coney Island before it closed down.

I thought the tilt-a-whirl and Plymouth Rock Café where going to open this year.

Was the music on the train ride new this was the frist time I have heard it all year.

Could we see Nick at Cedar Fair next year and Snoopy at KI?

I saw this happen the other day while I was on The Racer. We got to the lift hill and it stoped so I think something went wrong and they will ask use to get out and walk down. No a lady in the front seat was taking a picture or video.

I was also at the park today. Is the music on the train new? Also I see KI got alot of trash cans around the park.

I am glad to see they are taking their time fixing SOB and making sure no one will get hurt again. Also about time they start adding more flowers back into the park next year. Does anyone know why they took almost all of the out?

Well its some good news for the animals at the zoo the smoke is not that good for them. We have to do all we can to keep them safe.

I believe that new wood you can see in the pics was from the off season when they did alot of work to SOB. He is right the new wood is from when they opened this season. If you rode this season you could see alot of new wood all over the coaster. I do wonder if the trains will change after all of the testing so no one could like the one lady did. I bet their are alot more people at the park that know more but can not say anything to the public right now.

From the look of those boxes on the sides in one picture they are testing the design of the ride to make sure its safe to let people back on. After they test the ride the state will tell KI what they have to fix to reopen the coaster again. If things are not that bad SOB might be open during Fear Fest but don't hope for it.

Resign the coaster in the area the coaster wood broke test it and then reopen it next year.

Does anyone have this logo they could post?

I have never got a reride at Kings Island. The person might have thought you where going to take it on the ride. I have seen alot of video cameras get taken away like that this year.

Last time I was at Cedar Point I keep calling Raptor Raptor while in line. Well they are both green.

All of the Cedar Fair parks have a Johnny Rockets or a TGI Fridays. I hope the Paramount parks get them in the future. Its nice to get something other than theme park food.

I guess they will do that when they start to sell season passes for next year. I would like to know if Kings Island will be getting before I renew my pass for next year.

Has anyone seen anything new or anyone around Son og Beast? I went on 7/29/06 and saw some guys looking at the track. I know they covered the train on the lift hill.

What store did you get the pins at? Also how much did they cost I will have to pick some up next time I am their.

Well it Kings Island gets a big flat ride next year it will have no theme other than the name of the ride. If this new ride is a water slide I am not sure if they will theme it or not.

Does anyone know if they will hint to the new ride next year. This might make me get a season pass next year. Now say if the new ride was a water slide I might take a year off till Cedar Fair gets the bugs worked out of the pass program.

The paint is falling off on some areas. It would be nice if they did clean it up a little.

I think they might try to get it open for testing. It all depends on the test they are going to do to the ride.

Ride what you can and have alot of fun.

Yes the did do some work rebuiliding the track but it was not in the area that the people got hurt in. Everytime I have been at Kings Island for the past 3 years Son of Beast has been a walk on coaster what long lines are you talking about?
