MDMC01 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Wow!!! I'm shocked. On one hand, I'm glad KI is finally going to do something about SBNO. On the other hand, I'm sort of sad as Son of Beast was my first looping roller coaster and was (at one time) one of my favorites. This ride was truly one of a kind, RIP Son of Beast. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnrealNightmare Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I want a new woodie to replace it. Kind of sad the lack of wooden coasters being built nowadays! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieseltech20 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 It's about time. I, however, am hoping for something that isn't at nor is being built at Cedar Point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldschool75 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 But wait, so many claimed they had inside info and that this isn't what was going to happen! To quote the Bosstones: "Where did you go?" Yes, some did. That is why I had to retract my statements I made. I have learned that lesson of letting the cat out of the bag. I'll just keep my mouth shut for now on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldschool75 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Taking a ride on Flight Deck won't be quite the same after SOB is gone. Actually it will be just like the good old days 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIBOB Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 When I had first seen the announcement by the park on Facebook, my initial reaction was thinking KIC would suffer an uber-epic bandwidth appocalypse... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongliveKingsCobra Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 heehee on the side, every "Recent Topic" has SOB or has something to do with SOB in it. SOB hasn't let KIC out of his grip just yet! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benred23 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 As a long time backer and lobbyist for the reopening and re envisioning of the ride, its a sad day for ne. The Kings Island skyscape will certainly be different without that big wooden structure in the front. As sad as I am to see it go, I am excited to see what the future may hold for the area. There does need to be a plaque or something in that general area that that mentions it though. It was a record breaker and shouldn't just go unknown forever... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McSalsa Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 ^^ (On the post about Flight Deck being hidden by SOB...) Actually, you could see Flight Deck pretty well with Son of Beast still there. From the parking lot, and the main walkway down to it, and from several other spots in the park...SOB being gone will do little to effect Flight Deck's visibility. I recall very fondly eating lunch in the parking lot (thank you, high food prices) and watching Flight Deck climb its lift and do its first drop...as well as seeing that same sight from next to Thunder Ally (the go-karts). And then, of course you have it clearly visible as you walk down to it...Son of Beast was, in no way, making Flight Deck hard to see. In fact, some of the best views I ever got of Son of Beast were from the path that leads to Flight Deck- you can see some sections of the ride from there that are not normally visible elsewhere, such as the MCBR and Rose Bowl. I remember watching the trains dropping from the MCBR in 2009 when the ride was closed due to a breakdown, but testing. I never got to ride it, and then it closed...for good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonofbeast2.0 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 2 of The Beast's kids killed (the one with a name change). Lots of happy people. Many last pics to come. A coaster missed by few, hated by many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 KI Fanatic I love the idea, but in this ultra-sensitive, if your not with me your against me, society they would be setting themselves up for upset customers. Heck they can't even run one side of The Racer without ****ing off people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I believe there is a Paul Simon song - "Everything put together sooner or later falls apart". In this case, it was sooner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
