flightoffear1996 Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Does anyone have a picture from the Eiffel Tower showing deconstruction of SOB? Thanks! Hopefully someone can get one next weekend too. 1 Quote
KI FANATIC 37 Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Don, is the wood and bolts framed as well? EDIT: Just to let you guys know, Son of Beast is now defunct on RCDB. Quote
Tanna Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 http://twitpic.com/b2doj3 For those wanting a piece of SOB, there it is. And no slivers or cops chasing you as you sneak into the demolition site. I think for a 100.00, it's a really great presentation. It's better than a sliver in a test tube. Everyone's painin' that they wanted a peice of the ride, well, there it is. I think the price is well worth the presentation they put into it. Come to my studio with a hunk of old track, see how much you get charged to make it pretty.

flightoffear1996 Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 I am assuming there is only 250 pieces of track? Quote

Guest KingsIslandPR Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 I am assuming there is only 250 pieces of track? Limited quantities of each item available so if you want a piece of what was the world's tallest and fastest wooden roller coaster, time is of the essence. 2 Quote
BB1 Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Well, I atleast want a piece of wood for my wall of KI stored away in my collection room. Quote
Tanna Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Well, I atleast want a piece of wood for my wall of KI stored away in my collection room. Limited quantity, posted on FB and Twitter, being shared and retweeted like all get out. How many want to bet on how quickly these get sold out? 1 Quote

Titan Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 I wish I had 50.00 to fork up right now. I guess I'll have to wait until someone resells it on Ebay. Quote
Original Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Heres some pictures, trying to keep everybody updated, even though I keep getting beaten to it! Pictures2 753 by KIC-Original, on Flickr Pictures2 751 by KIC-Original, on Flickr Pictures2 747 by KIC-Original, on Flickr I think it is neat to look at theese photos and my last ones to see how the colors of the trees have changed. 7 Quote
Hank Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Seeing all that wood - and yet it wasn't positioned the proper way so as to let the ride operate safely. So sad. 3 Quote
Shawn Meyer Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Thank you to those of you who posted pictures of SOB from the Eiffel Tower. My next question that I have that I'm sure has been answered on here is what are they doing with the wood that won't be sold? Quote
StreetStrip03 Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 My next question that I have that I'm sure has been answered on here is what are they doing with the wood that won't be sold? Making baby cribs. 2 Quote
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Any wood that is not sold could be sold to a pulp mill and or recycled for other uses. I doubt it would be put into a landfill. Any used metal would be sold for scrape and be melted down into other steel products. Quote

KI-ORIG-EMP Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 The steel could be used in the next steel coaster at parks like Kings Island! 1 Quote
jandyb79 Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Wow! $100. No thank you. Good...maybe I'll get a shot at one of these! I left a message tonight to make arrangements to order one tomorrow Also, read my last post. $100 now and several hundred later. ~Josh 2 Quote
Original Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 The steel could be used in the next steel coaster at parks like Kings Island! Original would love to see a new coaster at ki! How cool would it be if some of SOB was made into the next coaster? An interesting thought.. Quote
Hendrick Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Pieces of track from Son of Beast are now available for $99.99, wood from the structure for $49.99 and bolts for $25.99 by calling (513) 754-5776 between the hours of 9am to 5pm, Monday through Friday. Quantities are limited. http://www.twitpic.com/b2doj3 Don, are these mailed, or picked up at the park? If its pickup, how soon will they be available, and when do we have to have them picked up by? (For us who live a couple hours from the park). I think I'm going for the track piece. 1 Quote
savesonofbeastfb Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Is a bundle deal a option for buying all 3 items? Most likely not but that would be great! Quote
IndyGuy4KI Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 That is a very nice display. I can see them appreciating in value in years to come! I wish I had the extra money to order myself one. 1 Quote

I contacted the park about it earlier this afternoon and the track pieces are shipped via UPS. The woman on the phone said it would be about 12 dollars for shipping on top of the cost for the plaque.

Hendrick Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Thanks. Phones been busy when I've tried to call. Really unfortunate seeing as I have class almost all day. 2 Quote
standbyme Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 I have been trying to get through since 9 am...the phone is always busy. Woo Hoo! Just got through and got my order placed! 2 Quote
