Jasper Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I am listening to CoasteRadio podcast #224 and they said there were people walking around and they were scarachters and one of the guys had a sign on his back that said, "Son of Beast Repair Crew." I just thought that was pretty funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooferBearATL Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Speaking of, not a lot of word about what's goin on with SOB lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Well, Maureen has said on numerous occasions that it WILL reopen next year. Of course, her statements are only as good as the information she is given. I'm not sure anyone KNOWS yet what will happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I wouldn't doubt that the State will put SOB thru alot of testing before they recertify the ride again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RailRider Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I have missed ridding Sonnie while at FearFest. Love a good cold night time ride on that monster. The numbness helps lessen the pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbness helps lessen the pain. Yeah i do miss riding it some to. But you never know they could just get some wild idea to tear it down. Just kidding. I kinda hope it stays because it is one of those rides that you can just ride and get a good ole fashioned thrill out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I got my 4 rides this season on it. I will definity give it a go next season if it does in fact reopen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Son of Beast had other issues too. I know several people that ended up with bruises on their legs. I am one of them. Those bars need to be either widened or heavily padded. I had to go to the first aid for ice packs as my legs swelled so badly. Any thoughts on that?

I like the design, but can't figure out why it is a painful ride. For me, it's back pain. Now, the repairs they have done to The Beast the past few weeks have really made it run like it used to. As steep and rough as beast is, I have no pain whatsoever on it. I don't get it either. I am still debating whether I will ever ride son again-unless they make it like The Beast, I probably won't.

CoastersRZ Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Keep in mind that the lapbars they have on Son of Beast are actually its second set. They removed the original ones which were all steel on the side and replaced them in 2003 with new bars that had flat steel with some hard padding on the sides.

KIBeast Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I'm glad I never experienced the first set of lap bars. They sound painful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortex Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I'm glad I never experienced the first set of lap bars. They sound painful. The first set of bars did not hurt as much to me. The new bars have less leg room for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I got on the Son of Beast the first year it was out so likely it was the first set that hurt me. Never bothered to attempt it again. When huge bruises on both of my legs kind of deterred me lol. Might have to check it out again next year if it opens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new bars have less leg room for me. Actually, the new bars have MORE room. It's the floor that was raised, and the tilt of the seats, both to ensure that the rider is properly positioned under the lap bar and does not prematurely exit therefrom. . .

Keeps ya positioned until the the paramedics arrive and can take ya off the ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
