So yup, I went to KI yesterday. SoB was open.....about a 15 minute wait, so I thought what the hell. Well, I was about 3 trains away from getting on when they announced a small delay. So they kept running the trains to get everyone off the ride, then ran a few empty cycles before stopping the blue train on the transfer track, and then moving it onto a storage track. The process was kinda cool, but a one train op for a 3 1/2 min-4 min ride SUCKS. So my ride on SoB was.........GOOD! Even though the first helix felt like I was in an earthquake, it was kinda fun :?r . BUT that's not best part. Once again, there was AIRTIME! GREAT airtime on the first drop, it's a big hill, folks! A little floater coming down the drop into the first helix, and then again coming down into where the loop was....and finally a little diving down and back up into the brakes. It was a good ride! If it hadn't had such a long wait, I would have got back in line! :b

The only bad part is how loud the darn lift hill is, really, I felt like I was on Face/Off for a minute :x

I got a ride on Firehawk and they were assigning seats today...hadn't had that happen before, but I got the front seat! FRONT IS BEST! Really cool feeling on the loop!

Two rides on The Beast in the........Back Seat!!! I used to be terrified of this seat, but now, it's smooth! And there was even some wana be floater airtime! Oh yea, they put lights in the first part of the final tunnled helix. Kinda cool. Oh yea, the night ride was great! =)

Drop Zone still down.

Oh, on a work point, we are only allowed to have three people working at Three Point Challenge now....rumor has it something happened up at Cedar Point...I don't understand why it's affecting us, because it is hell with only 3 people workin.

Had a bad ride on The Racer

Read on, my friends!

7 Years later, and I think it's in its prime. Still tallest and Fastest....2nd longest wooden coaster?

Some nice views of Top Gun now that SoB re-re opened.

A combination of wood and steel.

The station. I still **LOVE** the biohazard signs...eventhough it doesn't fit a theme.

Still think it's odd how far the wheel covers come to the track....

Son of Beast....through the wood!

The drop out of the station with some helix and part of the first big drop

Blue train on Transfer Track....with random chick.

Ughhhhh...I felt like I went through a level 5 earthquake, but then again i felt some strong forces, speed, and even some good airtime, but thennn...I thought my ear drums were going to explode at the begenning.....soooo .....WTF just happened to me?!?!??!?!

Vortex was good!

Though someone puked allllll over the first car, so they hosed it out and ran a ghost train for aboutttt an hour. :|

See? Now it's nice and shiny. =)

OH!! One BIG thing!

Firehawk's red paint is already chipping off in 4 VERY notable places! The neon lime green is brightly showing! LOL!!!!

VERY nice trip report!

Something tells me three people working Three Point Challenge has more to do with profit than any particular incident. But then, who knows!

^Usually, there are 5 people working.

One person running the clock/talking on the mic.

One person taking money and making a line.....\ Equals a fun job and quick line flow!

Three people (at each rack) collecting balls......./

Now, it's:

One person stuggling to talk on the mic, keep score, and help collect balls.

One person trying to take money and collect balls with a LARGE amount of money around their waist.

One person trying to collect balls on each rack in a rapid pace.

^^^^^

Equals hell.

I thought that was you, I saw you in the SOB station at the time of the delay. They must be having problems with the blue train.

i dont think those trains are doing so hot with SOB, as the red train had issues before the week shutdown of the ride, and now the blue one seems to be troubled.

I wonder exactly what's happening to them though? If I known though I may not want to ride it anymore LOL.

I doubt there's anything major wrong. They're probably just watching them closely. If it weren't safe, it wouldn't be open.

^Very true, that's a likely cause. One more strike against SoB and I think we could see some big changes.

PKIVortex - Aw man, you should have said something! Where were you?

I was in the SOB station, I got on one train after you in the 4th car. I was wearing a gray USF t-shirt.
