Gordon Bombay Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 They are new............to Kings Island and SOB I guess. Keep in mind the chassis, wheels, chain dogs and other components of these trains were heavily modified by the parks Wooden Roller Coaster Maintenance to fit the wide track gauge of the Son of Beast. So new.....in some sense yes and some sense no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerNut Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Nope, they were brought from Pavilion after the owners decided to tear it down, and try to make everyone happy by building a smaller park with less rides than a county fair.

The Interpreter Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I'm sure the soon to open Hard Rock Park was in no way a factor in Pavilion's decision, the Interpreter opined sardonically and with tongue firmly in cheek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
