I'd hate to see how much tarp they use when building a wooden coaster during the winter. Wait, wasn't SOB built in the winter?

Taken from said facebook page "Just was driving by and the time I grabbed my phone to take a picture of it. Trees were covering up the ride. If anyone lives near it drive by it should still be there, I saw it yesterday. And the tarp is most likely covering up the brand new tracking they put on the ride from the snow that is hitting the tri-state area right now and all through out the night , so the wood can settle." http://www.facebook.com/pages/Save-Son-Of-Beast/313135991408

New pics up on the KI website. Lot's of work involved in a ride like this, that is for sure.

I see what you did there, lol. I agree with you 100%

That answer is very simple, RELIGION.

I have never had them either.

Huh? KI is a seasonal park. Cedar Point, Disneyworld, Universal Studios, those are destination parks. So, Cedar Point is open today???

I got the newsletter, it was delivered to my Junk folder though.

The commercial states that the brakes in the wheels generate the electricity. Last I knew (I could of course be wrong) Coasters don't have brakes in the wheel ends like a car. Most of them use magnets, correct? Large power sucking magnets.

We were all under that impression until the pic posted a few pages ago that shows it going in the location you quoted.

Me either. The ride would have to be then BEST ON EARTH to get me anywhere near the place. So a regular old above-average B&M inverted roller coaster wouldn't lure you in? I've never ridden one so it just might, lol.

Actually, a looping coaster named "Holy Roller" would be brilliant.

So, the Creation Museum wants to build a Theme Park? Raptorguy should love this They should have some interesting ride names at least.

I won an iPad over the Summer, so I'm hoping that trend continues.

I just want to see a post NOT degrade into petty arguments, arrogance and name calling

Agreed. I am loving all the offseason pics and info so far. I cannot wait for April

Awesome. Can't wait til April. There will be complaining and rumors that is for sure.

I wasn't trying to nit pick anything, just pointing out when the rehabs were done is all.

Yes they are. Posting the old ones is great as well. I'm sure not everyone here has a FB page and will enjoy them

No catch, we bought our 2010 passes using this last year and it worked just fine. Will be buying passes (Platinum) using it this year as well. Going to CP and KD next season as well.

The pics of the work being done to the train are from the 2009-2010 Off season, not right now. They were posted to the Kings Island Facebook page almost a year ago.

Kings Island and people complaining go hand in hand. While the updates are nice. I want to thank those of you for posting them here for us. They are only putting them on Twitter apparently and I want no part of that thing.

Nice to see. I noticed during Haunt that the station and exit rails had new paint as well.

Leave Vortex alone. It's old and rough and I wouldn't have it any other way.
