ajc47 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 ^The coaster that it used to be??? I know someone that rode SOB the day of the commercial shoot (when it was brand new), and he said it was BRUTAL even then! And the layout is awful! There's absolutely no redeeming quality to this ride except the money they can get for selling the wood. I rode it when it was 10 days old and it was similarly bad. The thing was just doomed from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Peck Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I also rode it within 2 weeks of opening and it was bad for me as well. I think I have taken 20 or more rides on the thing, and though I thought the G-Trains helped, the ride was never good to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFOGdude25 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 That was personally the funniest teaser video I've ever seen! It could be because I find unique expletives really entertaining. Can't wait for March 18!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visioneer Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Smartest teaser I've seen in a while. Why smart? It was straight forward - no fancy editing, different, ballsy and got a chuckle out of me. They probably could have shortened it a little; the clip and sign were good points. For one time, it worked. I wouldn't try to continue on this path though. If you're not doing something different, you're not doing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatch Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 The announcement! Sorta... Consider me (mildly) entertained. I found that announcement video so funny! Especially the part at the very end, where they blacked out the logo for the [thing]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI Kidd Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Looks like some new clues are up...a new background that appears to be a shipping container...and a goose. http://www.visitkingsisland.com/public/park/mud/index.cfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalCoasters Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 That teaser was great! I can't wait to see what (bleep) is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.A.B Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Could it be an safaria ride or a new ride for the action threater or something. Those are my thoughts though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ccron10 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I wonder if it could have anything to do with Son of Beast... Sounds like a good *bleep*in' teaser if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI Kidd Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I can't imagine CF's current management ok-ing any sort of large attraction involving live animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Farmer Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I can't imagine CF's current management ok-ing any sort of large attraction involving live animals. Agreed, not going to happen. This is a big fuss over a little sh1t. Probably for Haunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDCOASTERFAN Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I suppose, but it's a full circuit non-family invert. And it has to be wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than Invertigo lol. Sorry but it isn't.I never bother wasting time riding it as a good invert should consist of more than just three heartline rolls back & forth around a fake mountain.In a way it's not a true coaster to me as all it does is wind it's way down along the outside of the mountain with no uphill elements like those found on a typical invert...give me an SLC over it any day.

coasterbill Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Looking at the teaser photos... I'm pretty sure they're just screwing with us. I'm willing to bet they have nothing to do with anything and they're probably laughing their asses off reading this thread right now. Kudos to them, I'd do the same thing.

KI Kidd Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 (edited) Some new photos up on King's Island's teaser page. One is of some digging taking place back in the woods. Another shows a worker holding the map from the infamous "planning" photo. There are also new teaser and new Windseeker videos up on KI's youtube page. Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guNwob56HPM Photos: http://www.visitkingsisland.com/public/park/mud/index.cfm EDIT: Thanks for the head's up! The link should be fixed now.

asimowalk Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 ^ The video link is fudged up. Here it is again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guNwob56HPM I'm going to guess it's some sort of walk-through attraction through the forest, though I can't really come up with any more details since they all sound lame. Hopefully Cedar Fair is more creative than I am at the moment. Oh God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la2lvtom Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 (edited) Its some kind of coaster, at 55 seconds he states "other exciting highlights of this world class... blocked" you can tell by the way his cheek and chin move he says coaster. Unfortunately from the photos its not the announcement of them getting Son Of Beast reopened so I guess the SOB is gonna sit stagnant for another season Edited March 14, 2011 by la2lvtom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Mad_Hatter Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 That video was quite rough and bumpy--they're obviously doing something involving Son of the Beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 This may not matter but he's standing behind racer in that video. Go to 0:15 and pause as it cuts away. You can clearly make out the location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCW_Nut Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I guess I'll jump on the bandwagon and make a prediction. I think whatever they are doing is not for 2011...I could be wrong, but I am seeing the time frame in which they have to build/test/etc and maybe they could pull something off, but I am sure whatever it is wouldn't be anywhere near is "big" as they are promoting. Perhaps a new theater/show/ etc? If it is indeed for 2012 as I am taking a wild guess on or maybe LATE 2011 and IF it's a coaster, could anyone see a B&M Dive Coaster? Again, this is a VERY far off speculation so please don't think I am crazy...just going for the long shot...maybe if it's late 2011 it would be something to make up for the possible removal of SOB?

SharkTums Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Perhaps a nice invert from the Bay Area could be on its way over!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
