Bennett Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Funny thing that on July 4, 2007 SOB reopened, and if your telling us somthing is going to happen on a Wednesday!! Well July 4, is on a Wednesday.. But I think that I putting too much thought into this Jesus would have to perform another miracle for this to happen on July 4, 2012. It IS Jeebusfest this weekend, after all. He might just stick around until Weds... Could be Him, or, could be HIM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medford Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 To touch on a couple of things, when he said "a wednesday" I'm pretty sure he was just joking around, but we'll know for sure by the following thursday. If rust on steel was a sign of impending collapse, there are some residents in Kenwood and driving down I-71 that need to get out of dodge. Unless you're standing next to the structure, you have no idea how warped the wood actually is (if its warped at all) If I was in the final stages of negotiating a deal to perform maintance or demolition of SOB's structure, I'd likely have a crew of my own employees, on my own dime, walk the site to check for things that could affect our final bid number. If, and I'll say that's a pretty big if, people were seen "working" on SOB, they could have been mearly inspecting the structure/track to gauge their future work on that ride. That same inspection could raise or lower their price significantly enough to for King's Island to further delay their next decision on SOB. Mother nature is most often not the best demolition crew. Mother Nature may destroy something, but it rarely cares about where the destroyed structure lands or what kind of destruction those falling pieces do. The destruction is the easy part, its the clean up that is costly. Only a controled demolition will allow for the cheapest cleanup and re-use of the materials in the ride possible. Well that or hiring David Blaine to just make it dissapear. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingsIsland1972 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Lol...or maybe the surprise is they'll launch a Grand Finale from the SOB on July 4th with somewhat of an "oops" it caught on fire Mishap and a "Oh well, that takes care of that" will then be put to bed!!!

TheCrypt Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Guys, the poster said "a" Wednesday. Not "this" Wednesday. There's about 52 Wednesdays in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterGeek101 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Guys, They will announce news about Son of Beast Tomorrow. So you are going to believe me now? I mean, someone says something and you are even considering what he said? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Guys, the poster said "a" Wednesday. Not "this" Wednesday. There's about 52 Wednesdays in the year. Yes. He also did not specify a year, so that creates even more chances for him to be right. Also note the at the end of that statement. There's no harm in a little wild guessing; in fact, I'm going to state my wild guess that SOB's future will be announced at 2:00 pm on a Tuesday. That's just something I pulled out of my @$$ and does not mean that I have inside information or know anything you guys don't; I'm just having fun, like Picard is.

Browntggrr Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Does their have to be insurance on SOB even all though it is not opareting? In all seriousness: typos & occasional mistakes are one thing. Complete disregard for even trying to grammatically correct is another. http://www.diffen.com/difference/Their_vs_There Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westcoaster Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 It was just a thought, I think it would be incredible to expand out the zoo, and KI to run the fun/ride side, and give the zoo a 2nd gate and the KI resort a true 2nd gate but a 3rd gate if the water park always remains free!

If they announce that Son of Beast will never operate again, the park's Facebook would be FLOODED with people saying they'd never visit Kings Island again... The same people who have been visiting for the past three years, even knowing that it would not run on their visits... That's the kind of people we're dealing with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Picard Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Things changed long before 2009. There was a time when there was people at KI that seemed to support this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I've seen a lot of people on the Save Son of Beast page label the park as liars and say they would never visit again so the park would loose money. However seeing how many people visit the park, I'd say that the "haters" are in the minority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
