The Interpreter Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Trims were added? Really? The trimming on Beast has been there since the first day it was open to the public, with rare exceptions, such as when they were switching to the magnetic braking, the ride ran without some of the trims for a very brief period of time.

He believes The Beast ran w/o trims for a while......
The Interpreter Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 It did. During testing. But not with the public aboard....
shark6495 Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 It did. During testing. But not with the public aboard.... well technically then it ran w/o trims.... man terpy you grade my posts harder than my Neuro professor... lol
TheSonofBeast Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 people should seriously look up their facts. The Beast has always had trims since its opening year. how much trim however, has changed. also the type of trims.
The Interpreter Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 And some of us don't have to look up the facts...and, if confronted with written evidence otherwise on the web, question that. You see, we were there and know what we experienced. I really do not care what someone has posted to Wikipedia or claims when they are parroting others, who may or may not have even been there or even alive at the time. Some day, we oldtimers will all have passed on...and what is left here will be all there is. I'd like for it to be right. It is important. Not vital, but important...

TERP, are you writing your own eulogy? But don't worry as we all age and mature we realize that somethings we fought hard for or believe will change.... or at least thats the hope....
The Interpreter Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 And just like Son of Beast itself, nothing is forever. Not all change is good. Some is, some is not. Change is change. Nothing more, without knowing the nature of the change. And that which is planned may or may not come to pass. Enough of all that, on with the Son of Beast discussion thread:
Coney Islander Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Cedar Fair really needs to make The Beast trim less to make up for the possible destruction of SOB next year... Just a thought
HTCO Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Cedar Fair really needs to make The Beast trim less to make up for the possible destruction of SOB next year... Just a thought As much as myself and almost everyone else on this board, would want that to happen... It's not. Sorry to burst your bubble.
The Interpreter Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Do not assume everyone here would want that to happen. There are those who would not....please remember this board is read by people of widely varied interests, including but not limited to unitholders and insurance underwriters, just to name two...
CedarPointer Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 It would be so cool if they would do that as a one-time-only enthusiast promotion. But, they never will.
shark6495 Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 a one time only would then turn into a bunch of people who missed out then would get mad at the park for not extending it. then the useless conversation about why does The Beast not run with out trims all the time.... then heaven forbid what would happen if there was a massive accident when the train was running with out trims.... can of worms.... back to SOB..... it is its own can of worms right now........
Oldschool75 Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 I ain't believing that someone would have a funner time on SOB even if the darn thang was retracked! LOL!

Enough of all that, on with the Son of Beast discussion thread: I have kept out of this topic until now, and for good reason. But..... I had to quote this. Terpy some of your posts are inspirational and this is one that tops that list. Thank you!
PKISecurity Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 They should contract it into a movie so that it can be imploded or offer to sell the planks of wood as a piece of history to park guest. You know..."Get a piece of The Beast with every 2010 Season pass" LOL! Maybe make the largest wooden walk through maze for the Haunt next year...anywho!!! Just a thought! Good-Bye Old Friend!!!!
hausty1983 Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 This topic has been quiet for awhile, anything interesting or has it been just the same old information that we know?
The Interpreter Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 This topic has been quiet for awhile, anything interesting or has it been just the same old information that we know? Yes. Terpy, who just HAD to (and some day you'll know why)...
Beast1979 Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 You can't beat the classics. To answer the original question, there's nothing that I'm aware of that's new.
CedarPointer Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 SoB is not on the HH map, but I think that's old news.
hausty1983 Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Thankyou everyone just was curious what was going on this topic usually is popular each day just wanted to see what was going on I haven't been on here much the last few days.
