Mean Streak Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I was reading The Cleveland Plain dealer and they said it is all gone now. It also said that it is going for a future exspantion. Probally a new themed area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamico2 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 At those prices, I really hope they are donating a portion to charity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UrbanLegend Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Pretty audacious of the park to try and sell this garbage back to us... then again, it'll probably have a good market in deluded people like this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopThrill182 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 In other words, boring layout while being extremely rough. No nostalgia from me at all. Sadly, I logged a little over 30 rides on the blasted thing, convinced that maybe I was approaching it wrong. I couldn't agree more. Even if CF had found a way to "stabilize" the ride from future wear / safety issues, the combination of horrible roughness and a boring layout made the ride unsalvageable in my book...

jedimaster1227 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Clearly this person has been living under a rock. Clearly that person thinks living under a rock is comfortable... Because that's about the only way you'd think Son of Beast was too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojo19799 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 ^I've never been on SoB, but I heard the stories. Maybe it's a good thing that I never rode it. I like KI a lot, it's one of my favorite CF parks (next to Knotts). I can't wait to see what they develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteornotes Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Is it wrong to watch that footage of SoB falling down over and over and laughing gleefully every time? Because if so, I don't want to be right. Good riddance to one of the worst coasters ever. You won't be missed. dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did have a few bad rides on it, but those bad rides were when I rode anywhere else instead of the front. Oh well at least I got to ride it with and without loop multiple of times. Now I am just wondering what will replace the big plot of land, a new coaster or a new theme area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyRCT3 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 New and Improved Action Zone, or a completely new area. I could see a coaster or two. Surely they can fit more than just ONE coaster back there. P.S. It seems Cedar Fair has found something even more profitable than their food. Selling deteriorated wood at 400,000,000% profit.

CAZZERNERY Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 They should have given it a Texas Giant renovation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Mutts Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 ^ No they couldn't have because the structure was so badly designed that fixing it would take more money then the renovation would be worth. Also the ride had little to work with as far as making it an extreme ride like NTAG & IRAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Also the ride had little to work with as far as making it an extreme ride like NTAG & IRAT. Um...it was 218 feet tall and opened with a loop. I think they could've come up with something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mean Streak Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 They should just make one new themed area out of the former Son of Beast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um...it was 218 feet tall and opened with a loop. I think they could've come up with something. Yeah, but even then, wasn't the structure and/or wood used complete garbage? Even if they would have done an I-Box reconstruction, wouldn't the ride still be rough because of its structure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerCoasterSmi Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I hope they invest in a new inverting wooden coaster. SoB was a prototype in a similar way that The Bat was, both were riddled with problems. But now they have Flight Deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
