Well, one thing can positively be said about that coaster...it has thrown more careers for a loop than any other in modern history...

They could demolish it, drag the trains over the debris, and the ride experience would still be smoother than it is now!

^^Are you sure that is a positive thing?

I did not say that was a positive thing (and for many it certainly was not). I said it positively could be said...

After reading it a few times, I think I get it

"positively" as in "for sure".

That's what I thought. I didn't go out and say that's what I thought because I was hoping to make other people think a little bit.

At 6:00, 5 News is displaying a tour of Kings Island.

They just had a story on Son of Beast, and ended with saying, "While Kings Island has been making many new additions to the other side of the park", while zooming in to Vortex.

Someone record it and put in YouTube! Us Clevelanders are so out of the loop!

^ I'm sure it will be on the website...

Hey, Clevelander...what loop are you out of? The loop on SOB was removed a long time ago! (just teasing - I was born in Cleveland)

Before WLWT went off their 6 o'clock newscast

tonight they posted a statement from Kings Island that said "Son of Beast will not operate in 2010. The park will consider the Son of Beast ride for the future, but at this time is not prepared to operate in 2010.

Hey, I finally get to close this topic...
