It does look a lot like a modified version of Intamin quad track. I'm liking the dual spine. I think there is a good chance that it could be a hyper or giga coaster. KD is in need of a giant steel coaster to add to it's skyline. Dominator is nice, but not enough. But I guess we won't have a good idea here until more supports start showing up.

I miss the level of theming Paramount put into their rides. While not great, it was better than nothing. But TR:TR I thought was Disney-esque theming

I wasn't there, but you could have at least stopped by.

I'm definitely not a Diamondback fan. It's the roughest ride in the park. Just a 1ft taller distraction on the other side of the park.

thanks hayes

ha ha, i'm sure the ride ops hate being noted by name on these trip reports.

Trim breaks suck!

I would take out SOB's rosebowl, call up gravity group, have it do some mind blowing twists and turns with some nice airtime hills back in the woods, add a tunnel with a launch section, have it do some stuff up to the now defunct midcourse, then go into the loop and finish with the winding down helix and cloverleaf. Then I'd slap 4 brand spankin new Timberliners on there. Oh, and pave the que line with gold.

I've gotta go with Voyage too

every rosebowl has its thorn

pictures are expensive though... sorry

i got last train! oh ya!

how do the anti-roll backs work on millie?

^ they were lying to you

It's not THAT bad. You won't walk away with broken bones or bruises. Aside from someone with a back or neck problem (who probably shouldn't ride coasters any), anyone who complains about it being too painful is being a wimp. I'll admit it's not a comfortable ride, but it's well worth it and definitely not the worst coaster on earth. Its not even the worst coaster in the park. Try the front seat of a car toward the middle of the train - that seems to be the smoothest spot. I'm going to have to agree with TB on this one. My friend and I rode SoB for the first (And last) time of the season on Sunday and it was even worse than I remember it being. And my problem isn't even with how painful it is, but rather the fact that if you want it to not be painful, you have to ride in a certain seat. you guys are huge wimps! unless you have a legit medical condition there is no need to complain. grab your Ensure and go back to the home cause it is too bright outside for you guys anyways... unless you have your wrap around sunglasses.

that was with the old trains, i really think that if they kept things moving in the station 3 trains could do well. there is a lot of downtime these days waiting for a train to come back.

hmmm I'd venture to say that if Firehawk is broken down SOB might have the longest line on some days as far as wait time. DB is usually only 45min wait since it is a capacity monster. SOB really needs a 3rd train. It could have a similar block structure to DB. .... so yes, there may very well be 80 rides, shows, and attractions with shorter lines

Son of Beast!!! YAY!!!

lol Sonofbeast07, who knows ki's website is just exaggerating... Sonofbeast07, who is eating french fries right now...

goffy's getting serious

^i love your sign

What I mean is that they had no major investment in it. Paramount lost a lot of money over the ride while Cedar Fair kind of came in with a clean slate.

Those are cool shirts

Son of Beast has a pretty solid future in front of it at this point. They will probly retrack it like they did The Beast, but little by little. The ride is rough, but for a non pre-fab hyper woodie it's pretty darn smooth. The ride is a fairly popular one with high uptime and a hand full of world records....tallest, fastest, 2nd tallest hill, 2nd longest... If they still have Mean Streak at Cedar Point then SOB has a long way to go before it is Cedar Fair removal material. I'm sorry for all the SOB haters I might have disappointed there. If Cedar Fair didn't like it or want it then they would have let it be after they bought the parks when they originally had no investment in the ride. This is like one of those Mac vs. PC debates. It is really pointless because some people love SOB and some hate it, but it will be here regardless. It's all about your preference. Some people like it a little rough and others don't like a ride to get so personal with them. I really think it is starting to find its niche here for once.

i guess some people have had terrible times on sob and come back with a back ache... every time i've been on blue streak its killed me.
