theme parks really take their time!

There are many factors involved...from money, to engineering decisions, to marketing decisions, to legal considerations, to the layers of review and permits necessary.

Patrons' timetables are not owners'/operators' timetables.

I knew a little about the SOB and it's problems a few years back. This June will be our first visit. I thought for sure by this season they would get a fix to the problem, and get her back and running. Well, from reading everyone posts and history about the SOB, I see a slow death is in order for the SOB......sad to hear....With Ceder Fair and it's unit shareholder problems in the headlines (At least here in Cleveland) getting the SOB fixed is the least of their problems.....

Watching Youtube videos of the SOB it appears to be like the Mean Streak at CP. I do have to admit, I do get banged up riding that one too many times. I'm no spring chicken any more, So The Beast might be the ticket for multiple rides. I remember the last visit to CP and my son and me rode the Mean Streak like 10 times straight because there was no line. I paid the price....Felt like I had just played a game in the NFL with no pads....I was beat to crap....
