I don't think in any way you can blame weather. Most of the companies that know they have a shot designing something for Cedar Point will learn to cope with it. Last I checked, Mantis and Raptor opened without a hitch, and aside from a few incidents of Raptor valleying, they're relatively unphased by downtime. Magnum opened on time and was a huge leap from former coaster designs. Intamin and Cedar Point should have learned to adapt on the 5th ride in.

Could Cedar Fair file a lawsuit on Viacom for inheriting Son of Beast in the first place? Even if you couldn't, at least have Viacom pay for whatever CF wants to do with it, whether it'd be to refurbish it with retracking and new trains, or to destroy it. One could also question the expertice of inspectors from the Ohio Department of Agriculture for saying it was safe to operate, and now has been proven otherwise. I honestly think even the most seasoned enthusiast with knowledge of Son of Beast's flaws won't go near it.
