stashua123 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 So i was at the park today and was on AE and as usual i looked at SoB under the arches but i came to a surprise......No were in sight! Also when i was on Firehawk i saw about 5 trucks parked inside the rosebowl. I talked to an employee and he said one of Sobs trains are being used on Flight of Fear(i do not believe him). Lets not get off topic like most SoB topics are turning into. Thanks Stashua Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIfan1980 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 We could also just continue this discussion in the SoB to be removed thread where it was first mentioned a day ago. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 That makes no sense. SOB trains for FOF? That was the best he could come up with? Haha . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BavarianBeatle Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Yes, those modified wood coaster trains would work so well on a steel coaster...... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortex Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 They could use a train for parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 one of Sobs trains are being used on Flight of Fear(i do not believe him). Trains ON. Meaning the actual train being used on the coaster. Not parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_humor Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Wait a minute, what? The trains are gone? Guys, this is definitely a clue that SOB is history. OMG. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.S.Coasters Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 They wouldn't even work on FoF because the wheels are set up differently and they probably have different spacing. Not to mention that they don't have the fins for the launch and multiple other things, nobody should beleive that. This could have also been posted in the general SOB thread, no need for a new one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjkjkj Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Maybe the employee meant in Flight of Fear. I mean, King Cobra's cars sat inside the spaghetti bowl for years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIfan1980 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Oh my god not EVERYTHING has to be in one topic. There is already enough chaos in the SOB Demolition thread. You are right, but it is worth noting that homestar92 posted the following in the "SoB to be removed" thread ~24 hours before this topic was created. It would make more sense to have one conversation in one place and who posts firsts has to play a part on that. I'm not trying to act like a mod here, but too much scanning of threads and not enough checking to see if data exists in advance leads to less effective forums in my opinion. The only info I have is that based on a ride on Adventure Express today (er... yesterday), it would appear as if SoB's trains have been moved from their former sitting place on the ground next to the ride. Where they have been moved to, I can't say, but they were not where they have been for most of the last 2 years, unless I just missed them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBEASTunchained Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 The ride vehicles are typically the first thing to go when an attraction is being dismantled. So they're actually gone? Or are they still at Kings Island? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObiPugs Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Maybe that is why there was damage to the FOF building. They wanted to run old SOB one last time and the train derailed and flew into FOF, and it is sitting inside the building, explaining why there is a hole in the building. lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBEW_Sparky Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Go up on the Eiffel Tower, and look over towards the helix. Behind it, you will find a boneyard contaning the old tram cars.... I bet you find something else there that may satisfy your curiosity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaiderFTW Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 ^ Huh... Now that you mention that, I just realized that that whole entire backstage area containing the trams will now be entirely visible once SoB's gone. I wonder if they'll move them once it is.

beastrider97 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Is there any chance the older Premier trains are still at the park? From WindSeeker, it seems that the older cars are sitting behind DA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
