Browntggrr Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 I wonder if KI is willing to donate wood for my turkey fryer? 1
CoasterGeek101 Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 I guess since a coaster is being retracked for 2013, it automatically means SOB? You know what people, go ahead and get excited.
flightoffear1996 Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 A. Im not getting excited B. Everything on this site doesn't need to be facts its fun to just think about possiblities. 2
Titan Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 I guess since a coaster is being retracked for 2013, it automatically means SOB? You know what people, go ahead and get excited. And I guess when Canada's Wonderland get's a B&M Giga coaster, it automatically means we are too? Now that's something to talk about.
mccarthysnerd Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 Now we can eliminate Mean Streak from our list of possbile retracked rides for 2012 Because they say on their blog that it will be finished in spring for opening.
Diamondback96 Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 And we should eliminate SoB because it just needs to die. Edit: Just IMO.
HTCO Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 Isn't this forum for speculatin'? Or am I mistaken?
The Interpreter Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 Isn't this forum for speculatin'? Or am I mistaken? Yes. No. And I can't/won't say I don't know. Terp, ever truthful. 1
UnrealNightmare Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 Some people complain just to hear themselves complain. Seriously we heard you the first time you said you hated the ride. We don't need to hear it 95 times! We get it already. Why do you even post in here if you're just going to flame everyone's ideas? Can't we all just agree to disagree and move on. 1
thunderbeast1968 Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 I hope that something is decided soon, the "not knowing" kills me. LOL Happy Holidays KIC

I don't hate it, it's just too much of a hassle.
mccarthysnerd Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 It is not much of a hassle unless your the person actually trying to decide what its future may or may not be.

Is that anything like: Some people grasp at straws to live a dream. Seriously. We heard you the first time you said you loved the ride. We don't need to heart it 95 times! We get it already. Why do you even post in here if you are going to just going to regurgitate the same rumors? Can't we all just agree to disagree and move on.
Diamondback96 Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 It is not much of a hassle unless your the person actually trying to decide what its future may or may not be. No, I meant it's obviously a hassle to keep running.
marlfox_21 Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 As you tear it down, reconstruct the frame with steal to make it just like The Voyage. That would be an interesting ride.
marlfox_21 Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 It has always personally kind of bothered me that the rides name is Son of Beast. Technically, we are calling it The Anti-Christ. 1
Beast1979 Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 It has always personally kind of bothered me that the rides name is Son of Beast. Technically, we are calling it The Anti-Christ. Technically, we're calling it the offspring of the 1979 Wooden Coaster, The Beast. I'm sure that any religious connotations carried by the name are completely coincidental, like most of the "Ungodly" things people manage to find in the park. 1

I'm sure that any religious connotations carried by the name are completely coincidental, like most of the "Ungodly" things people manage to find in the park. It's name is what it sounds like (Son of Beast) which just means exactly that, it means it is the son of the longest wooden roller coaster in the world, The Beast.
Browntggrr Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 And what a major disappointment the offspring has been compared to it's namesake.
KIBeast Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 No kidding. Not much like his daddy at all. Seems like they only tried to duplicate some of the roughness. I enjoyed SOB, but it's nothing like the original. No tunnels, no terrain. 1
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Wonder if anything will be said this weekend with GOCC members having an off-season party at the park.
jdawg1998 Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 I doubt anything will be said, it will rot for a couple more years and finally without warning they'll blow it up. Seriously though...I doubt anything will be said.
The Interpreter Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Something will be said. Perhaps not about Son of Beast, but something will be said. Otherwise, it's going to be a mighty quiet assemblage. 8
jcgoble3 Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 I'll be at the GOCC event Saturday, so I'll try to remember to let you know what, if anything, is said about SOB. Though I agree with jdawg in that it's unlikely they will.
Snowman Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 So I looked at my 2011 park map and couldn't find this "SOB" thing everyone keeps talking about. I then pulled out my 2010 park map, and again I couldn't find any "SOB". I get the feeling with all this talk about a nonexistent coaster, ya'lls might be some lyin' SOB's!!! I forgot to mention I'm psychic.... I looked at the 2012 park map, and sure enough still no SOB. 1

I forgot to mention I'm psychic.... I looked at the 2012 park map, and sure enough still no SOB. I think if you look at the 2013 KI map you will probably see SOB or the remodeled SOB. My opinion is that this coaster is probably getting 1 more chance and that will be in 2013. Kings Island would not just be leaving it to sit there if they didn't want to do something with it because everytime I go to KI someone, somewhere kid or adult asks why there is a big pile of wood sitting in Action Zone. Which leads me to believe that they want us to speculate and spread rumors about SOB until they actually tell us what will happen. So I think this is what might happen to SOB.

The Interpreter Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Compare Drachen Fire. It sat for years, not on the park map, and then....
Hank Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Compare Drachen Fire. It sat for years, not on the park map, and then.... Ah, but Drachen Fire had very bad engineering, abrupt turns, & a bad ride experience. Wait - so does......... 3
jlopez Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 I agree, 2013 is the year. I think SOB will again sit for 2012. They will at least announce something next season.
