I love it! I remember calling it that they would start on the Rose bowl first and sure enough they are doing just that. I'm So Awesome!

Well they could start on the huge helix area and work their way towards the lift hill. I'm sure that helix is going to take a week or more to remove.I don't see why they'd start demo on SoB when there is still a haunt insides its station.
-
^^ Don't worry buddy, I feel the anxiousness upon me as well.
-
Maybe they don't want to show the construction equipment just yet. They don't want us enthusiasts to get too excited!

Maybe that's why Big Bad Wolf was scrapped then. So this means if Flight Deck is removed, Iron Dragon will be in the future as well. That's a shame because I enjoy both of them.
-
^ Please don't remove Thunder Alley! Just expand it like the one at Cedar Point! Takes this as a suggestion Kings Island!
-
Makes me wonder what Kings Island will get for 2013? Something small I'm sure because it would seem weird to announce to the public that they aren't doing anything special for next year.
-
Nothing wrong with Thunder Alley, it just needs a major expansion to make it more fun. Like I said a couple pages ago, they should take this opportunity now to make the track longer like the one at Cedar Point.^Thats good.. We could knock out two birds with one stone and take out Thunder Alley too.

It has an elevator cable lift system. How does that sound?
-
Well I wouldn't mind seeing something similar to Millennium Force at Kings Island. I"m not saying put the exact same layout in, but something that would resemble it's brother at Cedar Point. Like I said yesterday, have a regular elevator lift hill, have it turn to the left and then let it drop straight down! That would be awesome! For now though, Millennium Force is my favorite steel roller coaster!

Is this topic of what the fans want in SOB former spot? If that is the case, I would love to see an Intamin Giga roller coaster. Maybe make it the first of it's kind where it goes up and when it gets to the top, it makes a left turn and then straight down. You heard right, build the first Intamin Giga to drop straight down.
-
^ Yeah maybe they're setting up for now by getting all the bulldozers into place. Now I remember the guy in charge of Kings Island saying they would take it down piece by piece. Wouldn't it seem easier if they just took the wrecking ball to it? Also what about how they took down that one tower ride at a six flags park? Does anybody have the link to that?
-
I was thinking with the removal of Son of Beast, they should make the go cart track bigger. All you have a is a little oval! I think more people would pay to race their friends if they had a go cart track similar to the one at Cedar Point.

Anyone who knows construction might be able to answer this. When taking down large structures such as Son of Beast, what do they do with all the wood? Do they give it to paper companies or try to salvage some of the wood to Home Depot stores? I was also thinking, would Kings Island be able to save the massive chain from Son of Beast? I already have a feeling they'll keep the station as is after demolition is over with like they did with The Bat.

I don't know dude. I'm sorry I was just giving my opinion.

I think Kings Island has something up their sleeves for 2014. I'm sure they won't announce a new ride until later next summer.
-
Anybody seen anything more going on around Son of Beast or Flight Deck? Last I checked, someone mentioned tree removals.
-
To make the long story short, I think Kings Island will wait until normal everyday operation shuts down for the week so they can bring in the big heavy equipment they need without interfering with the guests. This is probably why they are clearing a path over by Flight Deck. I also think they'll start out by Great Wolf Lodge and work they're way in so we probably won't see demolition of the lift hill until after the season is over. This is all my guessing but I think it's logical.

Anybody notice any deconstruction pictures lately?
-
I wonder with the announcement of Son of Beast being removed, what are the chances of Kings Island and Cedar Fair building a new ride in the former spot? Should we just count on something minor being added for 2013 at Kings Island or 2014?
-
I know a few of you were fighting over how this move of SOB being removed stinks or others have said good riddance. For those who liked this ride, don't worry I'm sure Cedar Fair/Kings Island will build something just as great in it's spot. I would still love to see Gravity Group, GCI(not sure what that stands for), and or Intamin come in and build a good wooden roller coaster. Maybe Kings Island can institute the loop on a wooden roller coaster again.
-
Someone mentioned that Kings Island is trying to get opinions from the fans of what they want to see come to Kings Island in the future. Is there a part of Kings Island on their website where we can submit this kind of information? Hopefully Kings Island reads these forums because I would love for them to put in a B&M Floorless roller coaster. Those are fun!
-
Referring to Original's post here. Sorry buddy don't know your name. Wouldn't it be something if they built another wooden roller coaster in that same spot? Like I said, hopefully Gravity Group or GCI comes in and builds Kings Island another wooden roller coaster in the future. I won't hold my breath though. Whatever is in the best interest of Kings Island for the future, I"m sure I'll enjoy.

Anybody know if they will be pointing a webcam at Son of Beast for the deconstruction?

Alright alright. I'm sorry for being so high on myself there. Oh well I was close.
