standbyme Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 I don't know if it was simply because of their smell...or if they had complaints...does anyone else know? Yes. I guess that's another post for my new coffee-table i've been working on: (It's a book that you couldn't care less about reading.)
The Interpreter Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Hey, I went on and gave you an answer, as best as I can, under the circumstances. I even flushed out around the bones... There are, after all, limits to what I can do...unlike there once weren't for certain park events, or so it was said... I actually thought my answer was on sound footing...
CrashOverRided Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 What do you mean has it been secretly announced? Announcements are announcements. There has been no announcement. thats true...but its over...no more SOB.
CrashOverRided Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 but ......DEMO comes with a big price. i bet it will be a standing but not operating for a few years.
CedarPointer Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 But would having an infamous structure which reminds guests of unpleasent ride experiences, lawsuits, accidents, and deaths be worse than TAERING IT DOWN!!! ?

Whales_Rock Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 WAIT..... It's OFFICIALLY going to be SBNO until like... they decide to get rid of it...?
The Interpreter Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Please calm down. As has been said, there has been no announcement as to Son of Beast at this time. Until there is, there isn't. What is so difficult to understand about that?
dakota2112 Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 As for Son of Beast, I think you all would agree with me... "it is what it is."
The Interpreter Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Unless and until it something else. Or, as a wise old sage once said at a retirement dinner: Things are more like they are now than they were when I got here.
TylerRider Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Unless and until it something else. Or, as a wise old sage once said at a retirement dinner: Things are more like they are now than they were when I got here. If they know what they are doing, why dont they just tell us?
The Interpreter Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 For reasons based on many factors from marketing to prudence. Plus, marketing has consistently said no decision had been made concerning Son of Beast prior to the off-season. That's what they said.
DaveStroem Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Besides, if they told us this thread would never reach 2000 posts.
The Interpreter Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 I think you underestimate this place. No matter what decision is made and announced, at least 40 percent of the people here will be very unhappy about it, if past is prologue. And the group that is unhappy will argue with the group that is overjoyed--about whether or not the park/Cedar Fair made the right decision, announced it at the right time, and will actually do what they say will do.
shark6495 Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 You know what tho terp, this place has at least become more civil in the passing time since the ride has closed... with that being said I am waiting under my desk peeking over at the lap top screen waiting for the bomb to drop to start the argument. Where do those of us who think that the decision that will be made will be for the overall best (SBNO, Operating, or Destruction) interest of the company/visitors in the long term view? Are we like the Swiss? BTW anyone out here on this board who is or was a soldier, airman, sailor, etc... My deepest and most sincere thank you.... thank you... THANK YOU....
zas Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 if anyone remembers back when the berlin wall came down there were alot of chunks encased in glass/plastic that were sold as memorabilia. have any of the parks done anything similar after destroying a beloved coaster? i know i would want a piece of track or support for my desk!
Coaster Kid Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 I got a couple of pieces of The Beast. That I found in the woods on a tour. But there all llike nuts and old screws that never were used.
dr_humor Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 Does anyone from the "inside" have any info on when the park may say something...or the method they may do it? Or if they will at all? It's also a possibility that the ride will simply re-open in 2010, and no "announcement" of any kind will be necessary. Just curious. I'm assuming the answer is simply...dead silence.

I suspect a lot of enthusiasts would buy into that, but would the general public be interested? And who knows, maybe there are liability issues. Someone might get a splinter in their finger from handling their little piece of SoB.
Coaster Kid Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 I dont think any desicion has been made yet. Even if it was to repon for the 2010 season there would be al least a announcment on KI's website and im sure someone would have put it on here.

The answer to your first question almost certainly is yes, of course someone on the "inside" knows. But generally speaking, those who know don't talk, and vice versa. Having said that however, there was one comment in particular which was posted in this thread somewhere which, to me, strongly suggests one way or the other. You figure out the rest
HTCO Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 I got a couple of pieces of The Beast. That I found in the woods on a tour. But there all llike nuts and old screws that never were used. Stealing ANY property of Kings Island/Cedar Fair is against the law...

KIBertke Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 oh please the kid found a couple of nuts and screws, i doubt anyone would really care
HTCO Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 Cedar Fair would want to charge for that, if they knew roller coaster enthusiasts like ourselves would want somthing like that.
CedarPointer Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 Then maybe they should. I would buy a piece of SoB wood... if they didn't sell it for some ridiculious price.
IndyGuy4KI Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 Then maybe they should. I would buy a piece of SoB wood... if they didn't sell it for some ridiculious price. If they sold enough pieces of the wood, that would make a nice down payment on a new woodie to put in it's place.
Coaster Kid Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 Yea its not like I ripped a support out.......now that would be a prize hehe
CedarPointer Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 If they sold enough pieces of the wood, that would make a nice down payment on a new woodie to put in it's place. I would pay like $3-$5 for a block of SoB wood with the name stamped on it. It's a huge markup by the park, most customers would find that to be a reasonable price, AND it costs almost nothing for the park to make. (and it's cheaper than most park souveniers!)
