My last ride was with a friend that had not ridden it in a a few years and his comment was "What happened to the Real Beast? This was the Family Beast." I am not sure why but that struck me as really funny as well as kind of sad.

I love the track work they did to the final helix, but the last few rides I have taken (which were morning ERT) were incredibly slow from the break shed to the second lift hill. I rode it later in the day and one night ride earlier in the season and it was great. I will be going up for Haunt next month and hope the night ride is everything I remember it to be because the ERT rides have been way too tamed down.

I will miss Scooby the most and the theming on Reptar. The rest of it can go especially the name "Fairly Odd Coaster."

I don't get to the park nearly as much as most of you guys, but I would have to say I have probably ridden Beast more than any other coaster simply because it has been a must ride every trip for about 15 years now at least.

I am for all of that. I would love to see actual theming return to the park and Octoberfest and the Festhaus are the perfect place to start because it is an absolute mess. How about some german music/dancing in there as well rather than a country music show.

Skylab was over by racer's entrance.

helix for sure

I like the front row. I don't think I have ever rode that one in the very back.

The way I understood it was that 2010 Haunt was free with Gold and Platinum but not Blue. Is this correct?

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/tele...tvbriefs03.html I watched that one last night. The Voyage is also on it towards the end of the program.

how about at least some german food and music in the Festhouse. Pizza or Chinese with a country show just makes no sense in there. It could be a really fun place to eat if done right.

It would be sad for me to see it go. My preference would for it to be modified and re-opened but if SOB is never going to re-open please just knock it down. I hate seeing things SBNO. I know it cost money to dismantle something especially as big as SOB, but if the park is tired of the headaches and bad press and feelings over SOB leaving it SBNO is not going to take care of that entirely.

You do realize this is the Son of Beast discussion thread, right? Or did the software here put your Beast ERT reply in this thread instead? Terpy, who KNOWS that some of his replies have sometimes (not often) ended up in the wrong thread due to some kind of computer glitch That is strange...must have been one of those glitches. You are right it was suppossed to be in The Beast ERT thread.

Haunt is included with your full day admission.

I am going tomorrow so I hope it is open on time then, but I have to say that to me it does not seem to run as well in the morning. Might just be me, but for some reason I feel it to be a little rougher and a lot slower than rides later in the day and especially night.

I was planning on going Sunday. Will the Run really increase the crowd?

That may be it's "Native American Name."

I have never been to Coney, but Dollywood has some fast bumber cars.

This one is my current Wallpaper. I am not sure why I like it so much.

I added a few more pics taken this past Sunday.

My last ride on AE the ride op looked like he was about to fall asleep and was spitting out stats like "Adventure Express has a top speed of 13.5 miles per hour." Nobody else in my party noticed. I thought he was playing around but another guest said something to him about not making the ride sound very fun.

I would have liked Top Gun to have become Afterburn but as far as the other names go I don't really care.

I was there about 5 years ago. It is an awesome place. We did not get to cover the whole area before our tour was leaving so hopefully someday I can go back.

I have been waiting for someone to day that.
