The Interpreter Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Ever hear of a five year plan? By careful watching, you can see what is doomed. Of course, Great Adventure used to make it really easy. During Fright Fest, they'd hang a huge black spider on the side of a doomed attraction. Inevitably, the following year, it'd be gone. Quote
ObiPugs Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 I'm sure something is planned for that space. I can't see KI tearing down SOB until something was planned. Cheaper to do everything at one time instead of bringing in equipment twice. 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 I'd bet anything the "equipment" will be brought in at least twice. 2 Quote

Cheaper to do everything at one time instead of bringing in equipment twice. ^ But I'm sure that the "equipment" will not leave right after Son of Beast is demolished....It probably has another following use...

The Interpreter Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Odd. I've been around this business more than 40 years. I have NEVER heard that quote used. Not even once. 2 Quote
Kyle100991 Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 Son of Beast 2.0? I just have a feeling we have not seen the last of a roller coaster with a Beast theme. Quote
The Interpreter Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 I'd be shocked and amazed if that happened. You didn't see the Hercules name reused at Dorney. Nor The Bat reused at Kings Island. 1 Quote

The Interpreter Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 I wanted to go to the pearl today to take a few snaps but it was closed... Perhaps it was making oysters, Ginger. 1 Quote
malem Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 I wanted to go to the park today to take a few snaps but it was closed... The park was open today. Quote
Kyle100991 Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 http://media.photobu...67/DSC01675.jpg I know this picture is from either last year or the year before but could it be foreshadowing a return from the dead by SOB? Quote
The Interpreter Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 Let's take the park at it's own words at the time. No decision had been made concerning Son of Beast. It was a Haunt prop. Nothing more. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. 2 Quote
CedarPointer Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 There's a piece of an SoB train on the Blood Drums stage. Quote
TheBEASTunchained Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 There's a piece of an SoB train on the Blood Drums stage. Did you happen to get a picture of it? Quote
ohiocolts Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 ^I got a picture of it. I don't have time to post it tonight thought. It's just part of the side of one of the old red/yellow trains. 1 Quote
CoasterOhio Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 Has there been any talk about how a section of the MCBR already torn down? You can see if from Top Gun lift hill (at the top) There is also a crane at Kings Island currently for SOB. Quote
Vortex Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) Went to the park today. This is all you can see from Flight Deck. Edited September 24, 2012 by Vortex 4 Quote
KI FANATIC 37 Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 I highly doubt that equipment will stay at Ki for their next big attraction. If this was true, they would have probably already announced the new ride/coaster. Just my thoughts, could always be wrong. 1 Quote
Shawn Meyer Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 The brake run and NOT the rose bowl? Somebody was wrong. It looks like, ahem, hurricane damage... Alright alright. I'm sorry for being so high on myself there. Oh well I was close. Quote
CoasterOhio Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 For all you know, if they where building a new ride or attraction in replace of Son of Beast they would have already torn the entire thing down. Not that little section on the break run. Quote
Browntggrr Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 For all you know, if they where building a new ride or attraction in replace of Son of Beast they would have already torn the entire thing down. Not that little section on the break run. Are you leading us to believe that there will be nothing ever on the location formerly known as SoB? Quote
CoasterOhio Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 Wow brown. When EXACTLY did I say there would be nothing there? Quote
KI FANATIC 37 Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 ^ He probably just misunderstood you. Im sure he wasn't questioning you. Quote
Browntggrr Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 Wow brown. When EXACTLY did I say there would be nothing there? Here: added for emphasis For all you know, if they where building a new ride or attraction in replace of Son of Beast they would have already torn the entire thing down. Not that little section on the break run. Did you mean for 2013? If so, you should be more clear as to what you meant. 3 Quote

KI FANATIC 37 Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 I hope the park continues to update us on what is being demolished. I really like the current pictures! 3 Quote

LongliveKingsCobra Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 I think we should merge the two topics. There are too many SOB topics. Why can't photos of SOB be locate here in the official SOB to be removed page? 5 Quote
