kblanken Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 At the very end of the train? Wish I knew. But the end of the train stops at the same time as the rest of the train. If we want to know that very last person to ride SoB, wouldn't it be the last one to get out of the seat after it stops? They would be the last one riding... or if the ride is officially over after the train stops, then: It would be the last one to sit down on the very last ride...everyone else had already started? 2 Quote
Original Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 If you think about it......The last person may have not even known that they were the last person that rode Son of Beast..... They probably hate rollercoasters now... 1 Quote
xXDrummerKiDXx Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 My question is, who would believe the last person who rode it? 1 Quote
Snowman Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 It was me!...in my mind anyway. I remember getting out and thinking: "Dang, that was rough" Quote
The Interpreter Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Consider: After the ride was last fixed, it did not reopen to the public. Yet, the General Manager was not happy with the ride experience..,, 2 Quote
KI FANATIC 37 Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Terpy, I sometimes wonder how much thought you put into each one of your posts... Quote
Hank Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Consider: After the ride was last fixed, it did not reopen to the public. Yet, the General Manager was not happy with the ride experience..,, I know - so who all was on that last train? Quote
Guest KingsIslandPR Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Park officials were on the last train. 29 Quote
Aaron88stang Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Park officials were on the last train. well that settles that...Thanks Don. Quote
TheCrypt Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Park officials were on the last train. I suppose this makes sense. What better way to judge a ride's condition than riding it yourself? I would assume the officials were high-ranking officials like Greg. Thanks for letting us know. Quote
standbyme Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Park officials were on the last train. Proof positive that working at the park is NOT all fun & games. 12 Quote
Browntggrr Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 And some believe leadership decisions are not painful..... 5 Quote
DropZone99 Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 I wonder when the last train was sent through? We all know the last day it operated to the public, but did the final train go through later that week? Or maybe the end of the year? The trains were completely taken off by mid' 2009 I believe.

AZ Kinda Guy Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Good riddance. Now where are the marshmellows? 3 Quote
TheCrypt Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 I doubt pelting the ride with marshmallows will make it fall any faster. 15 Quote
Vortexfreak Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 I don't believe pelting the ride with marshmallows will make it fall any faster. Wow pelting the ride with marshmallows...lol I will be there today i'm planning on taking some pics of the demo...I'll post them tonight Quote
KIfan73 Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Wow, if they left a few pieces of it up here and there, what a creepy Halloween Haunt area that could be... Quote
xXDrummerKiDXx Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Don, is probably the best owner of a park. He actually responds to questions and reads our posts. Thanks Don! 1 Quote
Diamondback96 Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 I didn't know Don owned KI. 6 Quote
TheCrypt Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Mr. Helbig does not own Kings Island. Quote
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Nope Mr.Ouimet does, if anyone. Mr. Helbig is just the head PR guy for Kings Island. Quote
xXDrummerKiDXx Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 You guys know what I mean... Jesus, CAN A 15 YEAR OLD GET A BREAK!!!??? 2 Quote
Hank Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 You guys know what I mean... Jesus, CAN A 15 YEAR OLD GET A BREAK!!!??? What site do you think this is? TPR? (the closest thing we have to TPR is Terpy, but that's a whole other ballgame) Quote
medford Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 I'd venture a guess that DummerKid is actually correct. Most likely Don does "own" King's Island, as well as Cedar Pointe, Knotts, Carrowinds, etc.... I've been told ownership is a lot of FUN. 1 Quote
beastrider97 Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 ^Unless I'm missing a pun or sarcasm, Don's only employment is to Kings Island. You guys know what I mean... Jesus, CAN A 15 YEAR OLD GET A BREAK!!!??? After your shift you can! Quote
IBEW_Sparky Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 One can own, without owning ALL. As Medford said, it is a good bet that Don is enjoying at least a small bit of FUN, along with His job title. Quote
Shawn Meyer Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Thank you for the picture lopan. What a crappy day it was though when you took that picture. That's not your fault though. Hopefully Kings Island releases some deconstruction pictures next week. Quote
