Ok, so in that recent Cincinnati Enquirer article Kings Island claim to have removed the loop from the Son of Beast rollerocaster and shipped it off to a steel recycling center. Well a buddy of mine who works up at the park in HR sent me some pictures of the loop sitting in the parking lot in pieces. These were taken by him in within the last two weeks at some time. He said theres no X Flight track in the parking lot yet but that the SOB loop is lying in pieces. Do you think they might auction some of it off? I'd like to buy a piece!

Here are the pictures:

I'm thinking about calling the park tommorow and seeing if any of these pieces are for sale or do you think maybe they're holding them for the ACE museum. My friend said the whole structure isnt there, just parts of it laying around along with some big wooden crates that he claims are full of old lap bars, but he didnt have any pictures.

Happy Monday!

Wow man those are some nice pics. I would love to have a piece of the loop as well. They should just keep it and make like a historic monument out of it somewhere in the park where eveyone can walk around and see it.

When i first looked at it i thought it was X-Flight's track and i was about to go nuts. Maybe they are going to fit the trains with whole new lap bars as well. I would love to have one of those as well. How many people could say that they watch TV in a chair with a Son of Beast lap bar over top of them?

Those are pretty cool pics but how come tehy are in black and white.

Those are photoshopped photos from when the loop was first delivered in 1999/2000.

How can you be certain?

Looky looky at what I found on Google Image search.....

...and the world all cried out at once: LIAR.

At least he took the effort to remove the old sign.

Haha. Yeah, I'll give him that much. Good eye, indeed.

And with that, this topic has run its course.

I'ma leave it open for the flaming.

Dang i thought somebody had actually found something useful but i guess i was wrong. I cant beleive someone would get on here and post fake pics to fet our attention. *Sigh*

(First Flame WHOO HOO!!!)

I love how some people just have all the time in the world to waste with such trivial things.

Wow, how come it snowed at KI but not anywhere else in Cincinnati?

Oh Maureen you are very sneeky... trying to put artificial snow around the Island so we dont go thinking that KI could have stayed open this winter. If that is not the case, Maureen is the Grothar, God of weather. And erACER, he must be Chronos, God of Time!

Another Idiot. Wish I had that much time to waste...

he worst than kong fu guy LOL!

The KI sign is gone now?

THAT one is. It blew down in a windstorm some time after those pictures were taken way back then. The new (since then) PKI sign looks nothing like the one in those pictures, which the poster (or someone) took the time to remove...

Just proves my point that a lot of people don't pay a lot of attention to the signs and little stuff around the park!

Another strike. Trying to underestimate the knowledge of some of the people on this site.

erACER should be banned for posting such BS. You should have at least 100 post before posting things like that.

Actually it speaks volume to the membership around here that BS like that won’t fly around here. Great job everybody.

Just goes to show that we dont let stuff fly like that around here at PKICentral.

I wish I could post pictures. I have some good ones of SOB with and without the loop.

Well I guess that is why the images are in black and white.

Yeah, first thing I noticed was the snow.

LOL, now I know from the folks that ya'll ain't had a lot of it.

At least yet.

I couldn't get them to open

HAY GUYZ!!! DNT FLAME HIM!!! HE IS ONLY TRYN TO SHOW US TAT THE LOOP IS GONE FRUM TEH RIDE! WHY R U GUYZ SO HARD ON HIM?????????????????????????????????????????

And here I was going to let people know I was just at the park and didn't see anything in that parking lot... You all beat me to it.

HAY GUYZ!!! DNT FLAME HIM!!! HE IS ONLY TRYN TO SHOW US TAT THE LOOP IS GONE FRUM TEH RIDE! WHY R U GUYZ SO HARD ON HIM?????????????????????????????????????????
