HHN916 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Hmmm. Cali Screamin, SFNO-BTR, and now SOB. If the pattern continues, all loops should be removed from every coaster by Memorial Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â And then the arabic countries will control the world's supply of vertical loops! You know what that means! Park ticket prices rising by the day! its a monopoly!

BeemerBoy Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Maybe they'll give the loop to Mean Streak to give it some redeeming quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Wow, I can't believe that none of you have brought up the biggest deal about this 'loop removal'... Â IS IT A NEW CREDIT!!?!?!? Â I mean, we know that Jeff Johnson will count it as a new credit...but what about the rest of you!? Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astat Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 A loopless SOB? OMG!!! *Plans PKI trip for '07* Â Seriously...the wood structure breaks in one part of a really rough ride, solution? Take out the smoothest part of the f***ing thing! It all makes sense to me now. Â But wait, "lighter trains?" Hopefully that means no more Premier trains. Throw some PTCs on that sucker and maybe it'll be decent! Especially with no loop anymore, there's no reason they can't use traditional wood coaster trains now.

Carnage Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 ^^ Well to even ask yourself that question requires that you ride it again. Â And I really don't think I'll ride it again. Or at least the chances are slim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 ^^From what I've heard, it will still 'basically' be the Premier Trains, just modified versions of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 Hey everyone, Â I noticed that we have very few pics of this on the site. If anyone has some decent SoB pics that they have taken, please upload them! Â Thanks! Â --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 ^^I'm praying that the ride won't beat the crap out of me, although my last experience of an RCCA showed me that even Intamin trains couldn't help it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginzo Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Lame. I was hoping for them to replace SoB with that much-needed hypercoaster. I don't think you're going to see much capex from CF in the coming years due to the acquisition of Paramount Parks. Â Actually, that spot seems like it would be a great place to put an airtime hill, or two. That would at least give the ride some redeeming value. But, hey this is PKI. So, fat chance!

jedimaster1227 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Truly a shame considering that this ride will lose its one truly unique feature... I really did like the loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterFanatic Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 ^ Ha. You just said airtime and Kings Island in the same post. Â IS IT A NEW CREDIT!!?!?!? Â Not that there really are any rules, my guideline would be a change to 50% or a substantially altered layout. Â Phantoms Revenge and Steel Phantom (2 Credits) Riverside Cyclone (1 Credit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I like that Ted. Â But to add more fuel to the Jeff Johnson camp, it is going from being a 'looping coaster' to a 'non-looper', that's a pretty big deal! Â BTW, I will not be counting it as a new credit, although I do feel the need to ride it once. (grrrrr!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemesis-storm Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 They should of carried on removing rest of SOB when they were at it !! The loop was the only bit on it I almost enjoyed. Â Can you tell I hate this ride ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLIPDUDE Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I'm frustrated the loop wont be there when we're going on midwest trip... =\ I was looking forward to riding the world's only looping coaster. Now it will just be getting beat up for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollermonkey Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Â Not a new credit, but I wonder how many people will count it as one? Â SoB needs more help than just this, new trains at a minimum! Â PTCs, Millenium Flyers, anything but those crappy Premiers. Â I'd even take Psyclone's POS B&M trains! Â Â Hey, Vekoma woodie trains might not be half bad on SoB... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Wait, so PKI is getting rid of one of its records? Â I was looking forward to riding it because of that fact. SoB is like the mentally challenged relative of a wooden coaster. Â Oh well, bring on painful wooden coaster for the Midwest Trip ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
