Kings Island really is using pictures from the photo gallery on there website. Go check out the photos they are using on the Son of Beast fact page, under media center. Pretty cool. (Does KI have permission to use the pics from this site)?

Yes,

Kings Island Loves PKIC

They are probably doing this as a quick replacement for the pictures that were there before. They had pics of SOB with the loop. If you read it's stats they are all the same except any mention of the loop is now gone thus the pics with the loop are gone.

Really?

It says: If the father scared you, wait until you ride the son! The Tallest, Fastest Coaster on the Planet will send you screaming down it's 214-foot hill at speeds over 78 mph.

You've never experienced anything like this before. Not anywhere. Not ever.

Funny, I could have sworn that thing WAS 218 feet tall....

Son of Beast is Sinking!

Actually though the heighest point is 218 feet, but the hill you go down is only 214. So the hill that you go "screaming down" is in fact onyl 214 feet tall.

Well, it's always had a 214 foot drop and a 218 foot hill....I hope they just used the wrong word (like they left out the term wooden when noting its records...)

It is 218 feet tall, with a 214 foot drop.

Yep. I hope they just used the wrong word....

Other coasters that have had incidents have been substantially reprofiled (see Rattler, Riverside Cyclone, Colossus, etc.)

Probably so. But they do need to add the Worlds Tallest and Fastest WOODEN Coaster.

And yes, PKIVortex, the park did secure permission from Ryan before using the pictures from our site.

Hehehehe, figured as much. Thanks though, was just curious.

Yep, Ms. Kaiser called a very groggy Ryan at 8:15 in the morning to ask for some photos and got permission when I was off guard :-)

Just kidding... I'm flatter that they're being used.

Just goes to show once again that PKIC is the best Kings Island fan site out there.

Now they need to announce what 2007 will bring to KI. LOL

^ Patience, my friend... you'll know sooner than later what's up Kings Island's sleeve...

Speaking of which, happy forth coming birthday Ryan!! *COUGH*

fourth coming birthday?

I could have sworn he was older than that!

ok, so it SHOULD read:

"Speaking of which, happy up-coming birthday Ryan!! *COUGH*"

You should get some rest, Bill. That cold sounds awful.
