Original Posted September 24, 2012 Share 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? ^^ That is your opinion, I think the two topics you mentioned are fine. As for your question... if you click on the link I gave, and at least read the first sentance, I think your question would be answered... I thought that It would be kinda cool to make a big thread for everyone to share their Son of Beast photos from over the years!! I understand that there is a general Son of Beast discussion thread but I think we should have a place to share all of our photos of this giant SOB. Helpful?

KI FANATIC 37 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I dont mind the 2 topics either. They both cover different topics. This topic is more for actual information about Son of Beast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Why have two topics that are basically discussing the same thing: SOB removal. What topic is next, SOB replacement topic and SOB replacement construction pictures? I say merge both topics into this topic, which was here first. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I am going to the park Friday, but with it being dark I do not think I will be able to see anything. It is really weird to see something being demolished that has been at the park since you can really remember, seeing this thing go down piece by piece will really be interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastrider97 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I enjoy seeing that the park is actually putting light upon the dismantlement of the ride. Seeing how many of the posts and updates about SOB continually reference future park expansion, fills me with hope that there are currently plans for the area. Reminds me of how Disaster Transport and Space Spiral were announced for dismantlement before Gatekeeper was announced. But realistically, nothing will be there in 2013, hopefully 2014. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What topic is next, SOB replacement topic and SOB replacement construction pictures? I say merge both topics into this topic, which was here first. Exactly. The one topic discusses SOBs removal (and God knows what else ) This page...what'da you know! It, too, covers the removal of SOB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBEASTunchained Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I made the other topic to post pictures and only pictures of the removal of Son of Beast, they may be similar but there is No reason to merge the 2 threads because they were obviously made for 2 different purposes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 ^Uh...don't the pictures have pretty much EVERYTHING to do with this topic? Sounds rather pointless to have one topic for discussion and the other for pictures (which btw, the pics have already been posted on this thread, rendering the other pretty much obsolete). It sounds easier to have them one in the same. I'm a mod/staffer at COASTER-Net.com, and we try to limit the number of threads and merge mutliple threads on the same topic into one thread. Trust me, its easier for new members (or any members/visitors) to navigate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure tons of people said that about the billions of new topics about SOB pre-demolition announcement. If I had the power I would merge as well.

TheCrypt Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Why merge? Just lock the old topic. This thread has much more importance on the site and the same pictures are posted here anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 ^But there is at least conversation in that thread pertinent to this, plus the pics could be absorbed by this as well. Seems kind of a waste to lock or delete it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stashua123 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 please, dont let KICentral turn into a TPR. ^^^ Not every little thing has to be in one topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 How about we leave the moderating to the moderators? PM them if you have issues. These posts about moderating are just clutter. And how it's done elsewhere is of little to no relevance here. We ain't elsewhere. Glory be! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Ok, speaking as someone who often visits this site, its hard for me to keep track of the different threads on one topic to keep track of what information/pictures are where. I come here often to relay news on KI to Coaster-Net, which focuses on more parks and stuff and its harder for them to keep track of Kings Island. It feels like a chore shifting through all the different topics. It would definetly make KIC more organized IMO. OH, and Coaster-Net does NOT run like TPR. We keep it organized while treating others kindly. Just go over to see what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't photos of SOB be locate here in the official SOB to be removed page? ^^ That is your opinion, I think the two topics you mentioned are fine. It is a fact KIC has been dealing with SoB: rumors, facts, & useless crap since 2003. We have learned that one SoB topic is more than enough. More than one becomes an insane amount of regurgitated clutter between both topics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIfan73 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 On a completely unrelated note, someone really needs to start the "land where SoB used to reside" thread...No matter what you thought of SoB… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coasterkidd23 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 speaking of TPR......Just saw this on TPR!

Stitch Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I guess my onride photo with the original lap bars is a collectors item now . On a side note, just think about all the footers they have to dig up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Footings. Who said they will be dug up? Many of King Cobra's were not. Same for The Bat. Or Steel Phantom's predecessor at Kennywood.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browntggrr Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 ^^^ See what? There is no more information there that cannot be found here days ago. On a side note- No offense to Coasterkidd, this is EXACTLY why more than one thread on a specific subject, ESPECIALLY SoB, is more than enough.

LongliveKingsCobra Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 And that's how The Great Civil War of Kings Island Central started. It lasted 23 weeks and at the end it ended with the merging of the two topics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While this site isn't like others, there are things that other sites do that could make this site better IMO. This is the premier website on Kings Island information out there and I see soooo much room for improvement. Just sayin'. Is it really too hard to ask for a little organization? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIfan73 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 ^ I wouldn't say that asking for it is very hard at all! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 silver2005: Let me get this straight. You come here to gather information for a competing website, and you are complaining it's too hard to find here and there's room for improvement. Really? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
