DropZone99 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Does anyone know what is going on beind Son of Beast. There is a big hole in the ground and a bullozer or two out there. I just got back from KI, while riding SOB i notices tons of dirt, a buldozer type vehicle, and a crane! I really have no clue what it could be!

CoastersRZ Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Well, if I had to guess, I`d say that the "construction" over by Son of Beast is actually related to the work over in Rivertown. How, you might ask? They might be digging up some dirt to use as fill at the Swan Lake location, since it appears that they have raised the grade down by the International Showplace quite a bit higher then what it used to be.

PKIDelirium Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I saw that when riding SOB this evening. There's a rather large hole dug there and a lot of dirt moved about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Theater Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Maybe their storing the construction materials behind their.And they are making a memorial for Phantom Theater by burying the figurines underground,and making a huge (by huge I mean,286 ft.)tower that says Phantom Theater.

That was my assumption as well. I noticed one large rectangular hole by SOB. My guess (and I emphasize the word guess) about that would be that while they were removing the fill for Swan Lake, they found something buried back there that the EPA would require them to remove. (for example an old underground fuel tank that may have even been buried there before 1972). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I would think if you were getting dirt you would just get dirt. But, the hole looked like it was very particular in shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTCO Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I bet there building a underground path for Knievel to practice jumping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 To be honest, I thought the same thing. Especially considering how deep the hole appeared to be. (It looked like it was a good twenty feet deep.) However, most soil around the Cincinnati area consists of clay near the surface. Clay is not the best type of dirt to use as fill material. They could have been excavating to get beneath the clay to get to better quality soil that could be better suited to use as fill for the Swan Lake area.

masonguy21 Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 Ha, you never know. To me it sort of looked like a possible place for a building. With the park having some room to expand over in that general derection it might be some sort of offices or somthing. It also seemed like there were some more mantenince paths back by SOB and Adventure Express too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
