We all know that Son of Beast in going to be torn down ( and if you didn't, now you do ). I have read on some threads that have said we shouldn't expect any thing big because SOB is being torn down and that will cost a lot. I was wondering how much it costs to tare down a structure of that size and is that much and does it take big of a chunk out of KI's budget.

my geuss is around 3 million.

The 1st question is, how much is that structure worth in scrap? Often, Demolition companies will write the value of their contract on the premise that they have all rights to the srapped material. For instance, when Riverfront (cinergy) field was demo'd a decade ago, the company doing the work had several sales at their warehouse by Lunkin Field. As such you can find old stadium seats overlooking the pond and 18th green at a local golf course, some people have them in their backyard or babershop. You could get old signs, etc... There's also a salvage cost for the recycled concrete, metal, etc...

Its possible (probably not likely, but possible) that the salvage cost of SOB may be worth significantly more than the cost of tearing the structure down, meaning a company could come in and pay Cedar Fair for to take out the ride in order to make a profit selling or recylcing pieces of the ride.

I'm not gonna pretend to be a mod (because God knows I do not have the filter for it) but another SoB topic? The "Son of Beast roller coaster to be removed" topic is more than adequate for this isolated question.

Starting a topic just for the sake of starting a topic gets too messy in the forum world.

Sorry, not what I had in mind, and will ONE more Son of Beast thread kill anyone. I did not just start this thread for the sake of it, I try not to do that.

I know right KICentral's turning into TPR!

some gasoline and a match. $10 tops.

All the sick/dead people from the highly toxic fumes would cost way more than 10 bucks.

As mentioned earlier, there are multiple other SOB topics. Please refer to one of those, such as this one:
