TheBEASTunchained Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 I wonder if Kings Island is going to do any thing to Son of Beast now that they have a few days that nobody is there....... 1 Quote
KI FANATIC 37 Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 ^My guess is that they will wait until after Labor Day Weekend. 2 Quote
Shawn Meyer Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 ^ Yeah maybe they're setting up for now by getting all the bulldozers into place. Now I remember the guy in charge of Kings Island saying they would take it down piece by piece. Wouldn't it seem easier if they just took the wrecking ball to it? Also what about how they took down that one tower ride at a six flags park? Does anybody have the link to that? Quote
KI FANATIC 37 Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 My guess is they have already started. I meant "start" by work we can actually see. Not prep work. Sorry for the confusion. Quote

FOFreak Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 My guess is that no ones right and KI's pulled a fast on on us and they're suprising us with a SOB 2.0 next year! Quote

Bennett Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 If the moon was made of spare ribs, would you eat it? I know I would, and I'd polish it off with a nice, tall Budweiser. 4 Quote

Imagine the mess they would have to clean up if the entire Son of Beast roller coaster was literally demolished with a wrecking ball. I'm not in the industry, but it seems dismantling it would be both safer and easier. Dismantling in an orderly fashion vs knocking the structure down into splinters and nails and bolts to go recover. Maybe someone who actually knows will chime in, because I'd like to find out actually Quote
marlfox_21 Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 They should wait until after haunt, and decorate the heck out of that thing. I would make a haunted trail going back into it. You could put all kinds of strobes on it, hang bodies/skeletons from the track, etc. Make use of the trees around it, and of it's own shadow. It could be pretty awesome. 2 Quote

SoB already has a large enough black cloud over it.FB will blow up with: "did you see SoB during HH???? KI put out all the bodies to display what the ride has done!!!!!" Quote
marlfox_21 Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 That's a good thought. Yea. I was trying to think of a way to make it profitable for a little while. But you are absolutely right. Baaaaad thinking on my part. Quote
ObiPugs Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 I'm sure KI's approach to SOB is nothing to see here. 5 Quote

He said it would basically come down the same way that it went up - section by section. 2 Quote
xXDrummerKiDXx Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 AND if this wasn't already pointed out, SOB is about 15 feet (over or under exaggerated) away from Top Gun and AE, which causes a HUGE threat to those rides if SOB was taken down with a wrecking ball. Quote

Am I missing somthing? Or is my mind telling me he just said AE and FD are 15 ft. away from each other... Im confused Quote
coasterfanatic83 Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 Did you read the post above yours? Quote
xXDrummerKiDXx Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Noooo, I meant like Son of Beast and Top Gun are really close together as well as Son of Beast and AE are close together -____- Edit: and @CoasterFanatic, Yes I did, I'm just stating a fact! Quote
stashua123 Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Any activity on warren county auditor? Quote
homestar92 Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 I think this should be their approach to the demolition: 14 Quote
stashua123 Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Thats a funny way to put at it. We could use Delirium as demo but wait....We'd have to wait forever for new huss parts . 9 Quote
KI FANATIC 37 Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 ^Thats good.. We could knock out two birds with one stone and take out Thunder Alley too. Quote

HTCO Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Dear Kings Island, Six Flags is removing The Rattler and building Iron Rattler in the same year. Make this happen. Sincerely, KIC 3 Quote
King Cobra Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Since when is Six Flags removing Texas Giant? I thought they were retracking The Rattler to make it Iron Rattler. 1 Quote
