I'm not sure if this has been posted anywhere or not, but here is a video that someone uploaded to YouTube which includes many great shots of Son of Beast construction including teaser signage and the scale model.

I saw this video this morning. It has some cool shots. It's neat seeing how the ride has grown when it was being built.

Thanks for sharing the video, it's great seeing SOB being built. It is also neat to see King Cobra.

That sound that the crate makes sounds suspiciously like the sound SoB makes. (well, made)

Its sad to watch this because I remember going to the park and seeing it being built and having such high hopes for that ride... I remember my first ride on that coaster, awesome!!! but since then its just sad to think about ya know?

I've seen this a few times in the past... or maybe a different one, I'm not sure. It was definately interesting to see how they put together a wooden coaster.

Cedar Pointer said "That sound that the crate makes sounds suspiciously like the sound SoB makes. (well, made)"

Thats funny, I watched the vid and didnt hear anything out of the crate that sounded like "OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!! My neck! My back! My neck AND my back!!"

The ride, not the riders. Of course, I thought I'd never use "SoB", "well", and "made" in the same sentence.

I remember all the hype about. Everyone so excited. Now that thrill is gone.

Not trying to sound rude, but does Bob care that people post his videos?

If he didn't want them to be embeddable, you can easily set them to not be embeddable. And if they weren't meant to be shared with the world, there's the "private" option.

Very interesting video. Thanks for sharing Ryan!

That made me laugh. And I don't know why. Good job!

Edit: I just realized I'm wearing the same clothes today as I did in my picture.

7 World Records one of them gone now so its only 6 and maybe none if SOB is removed now. I remember being soooo excited and telling all my friends and sending them the link to the animated version of the ride. I really am anxious to hear what is next with SOB. We will know in a matter of time I guess now.

Also, towards the end of the video, you can see the carnage that the wind storm caused... If you remember said wind storm.....

Oh, sadly what could have been, it wasn't!

Wow thats a cool video. I forgot how close King Cobra was to that area. Forgot that Delirium is where KC use to be.

That is interesting to see KC, however, until i glanced very closely, i didn't realize that when KC was standing, AE's first drop/tunnel was built right underneith its lift hill. Now i know where those concrete structures in the foliage in that area came from.

Just enjoy Terpy you to Tee Hee.

^2nd video at 1:03 That was just some foreshadowing of what people would say when they got off the ride.

I'm in love with the announcement video.. Now why couldn't our announcement for Diamondback be that special? With a growling box? Smoke?

Well, to start with, the company that owned the park was different. Paramount was known for grand announcements and great media previews. Cedar Fair is known for great coasters.

In a one word answer: money.
