Son of Beast station condemned

[The man]

I regularly check the permit reports for Mason and I’m skipping past the 600,000 dollar haunted house investment, but I had to post about the Son of Beast station being condemned. Happy reading!

I felt a great disturbance in the Son of Beast revival fanboy movement, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

GIVE IN? In our moment of denial? I think you over estimate their chances!

Wow, I can't believe Six Flags got the city of Mason to condemn the Son of Beast station as part of the elaborate teaser campaign for an RMC! They've outdone themselves! My hopes are UP, baby!

Never give up! Never lose hope! Keep hope alive!

I do look forward to an eventual revamped Action Zone.  I find it is the area on the dry side I spend the least amount of time in. 

My thinking has been that they wouldn't do something with the Son of Beast station demolition until they could tie it in with other updates.  

I did also notice on the permits site that there was a queue renovation in Planet Snoopy to maximize capacity.  I wonder what that is for.

I guess Number Five is NOT Alive then?

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

I guess John M. hit the nail on the head about ArieForce One! 🤣

If they are in fact tearing down the SOB station, I hope they also take the time and remove the old queue rails and clean up that whole area basically making the overlook area like it was when Top Gun/The Bat first opened.

With the Son of Beast station, condemnation does not  mean it will be torn down.

It's listed as a demolition permit under "record type"

It says "demolition permit" on the side of it. 

Whatever happens, happens.

If you think parking lot coasters look bad, try one made for flatter terrain on stilts or epic terraforming.

In the case of KI a parking lot roller coaster. going along the old Colombia road between Great Wolf Lodge and the front gate beside preferred parking would be a fantastic location for a thrill coaster.

growing up walking towards the entrance in the parking lot Face/Off was such a awesome introduction. Made the experience of walking into a park that much more memorable. Same with GateKeeper and Fury325 among others. 

I don’t think we need a front gate coaster like Cedar Point as the Eiffel Tower is the main focus point but a coaster by the side of the main gate as I stated above would be a very welcome addition.

Someone on Reddit was able to explore some of the station and queue area with permission by the park recently. Kinda surreal to see how overgrown it is over there.

You can see remnants of Wolf Pack with the removal of some of the rails and air gates, as well as wooden platforms placed above some of the track sections to be used as bridges for the haunt maze.

Condemned doesn't necessarily mean it has to be demo'ed. It just means a process of rehabilitation and inspections to be done to get it able to be permitted for use again.
