No Longer Available. Good Luck to those who contacted me too late. My brother is bailing so I've got 1 extra for Saturday only. Shoot me a PM if you want it.

Not up on what went down or happened to Son Of Beast, anyone care to give me a brief synopsis? I got to King's Island about 10 years back, I think the 2nd year of SoB, it still had the loop, and got about a dozen rides on it that day. Yeah it was a bit rough but not that painful. The worst thing was those oversized lapbars. It was a great ride though, I loved it or wouldn't have gone back for multiple laps. So what happened? Did it deteriorate that badly? I thought it was a better ride than it's Pop, The Beast. I got to ride The Beast the year it opened in 79 and my memories of it being screamin' fast through the woods met with huge disappointment on my return visit, it felt like Grandma was driving that thing and wouldn't take her foot off the brakes. Just read about the Topper Track on the SFoG thread and my first thought was SoB needs this or the Texas Giant/El Toro treatment. Be a shame to just tear that structure down.

The Giant Dipper in Santa Cruz. I was about 5 and my dad slyly lifted me up by the seat of my pants so I appeared tall enough and the guy waved us through, Or at least that's the way he tells it.

Urrrrrrrrrrrrgh!!!!!!!!!!! You're killing me. The Bash has been on my radar for years but I've never been able to make it cause I go to Alaska every March. Next year I'm going in April and figured 2012 would be the year when it all lines up. But President's weekend? I guess it gives me 3 months to sweet talk the boss to give me the 2nd busiest holiday weekend of the year off. Yeah, like that'll happen. Bummer for me.
