Diamondbacker Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 We should make this a game. I found the old nickelodeon central sign. Can you? I did too! It's in two pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benred23 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Well, according to this, I just zoomed in on the Kings Island "Pile-O-Junk" and found the park, at least this season, still has the ORIGINAL Son of Beast trains...no, I'm not talking the newer trains added in 2007 (which, on Google Maps, are sitting next to the ride), I'm talking the overweight 6-bench Premier Rides trains that were "responsible" for the 2006 accident and ran on the coaster from 2000-2006... Wow, 6 years after the accident, and the park still has at least 9 cars from those trains...3 of the 12 seem to be "missing" though...is the park using them for parts or something? If so, for what- none of the other wooden coasters currently in the park use Premier Trains, only PTCs, and even Son of Beast was using Gerstlauer trains at the end of its life, not the Premier trains...are the wheels/lapbars/etc etc. useable on Beast & Racer? Is there a secret plan to install the old SOB trains on Vortex or something? Just something I found weird...alas, there are many weird things you can find with google maps... EDIT: Well fudge, the coordinates I linked to didn't take you to where the old SOB trains are...ok, well, go to SOB on Google Maps. Find the "Rose Bowl", or the huge first helix. At the bottom, there is a road that goes down. Follow it until it splits, and take the road that looks like dirt instead of pavement. The SOB "looping" trains are in the big pile of junk on this "road". Hope this helps. Im trying to follow.. are you talkig about the Graveyard where the Old Tram cars sit? ps. Everyone talking about spotting Patrick, Spongebob is on the other side of those piles.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coaster_junky Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 The arrow pointing to the red objects: Those are the old trains for Son of Beast. As for the blue objects, I have absolutely no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastie1980 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I want to buy that Spongebob and put it in my front yard so all the little kids that walk by will be like, "It's Spongebob!" Then I could charge them to take pictures with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Christopher Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 The blue objects are most likely 55 gallon plastic barrels, probably full of fog fluid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[image] I believe what you marked as the Nickelodeon Central sign is actually the sign from Plankton's Plunge. The Nickelodeon Central sign is actually closer to Son of Beast, near the old trams.

stashua123 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Actually I think their using sob's old trains for fof parts because sob old trains were made by premier to and they have the same restraints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
