I'm completely dumbfounded that we have gone through another operating season with no word whatsoever. Oh well.

There has been news:

Removed

The issue has been addressed.

When all has been said and done, the resolution will be apparent to all.

Terpy, always taking wind from my sails

Where was it addressed to? I would like to find out who got the letter.

As much as I hate to say it I think Son of Beast has seen it's last days. Don't get me wrong I'd love to see it run again but lets be logical here.

I'd love to see them auction off pieces of the ride to us enthusiasts though if it is torn down.

...or how about they just give them to us because they want to get it away as quickly as possible.

It's Cedar Fair...... They love their Nickels.

kinzel loves his nickles. haha

Yeah, but it doesn't change anything about the uncertainty over this. But seriously, it has been over two years. Are they even trying to make a decision?

Look at it this way- for SoB fans, there is a slight glimmer of hope that something can be done given that no decision has been made public yet (although IMO the ride is done).

Also- Drachen Fire at BGW stood for 3 years before being dismantled and Blue Streak (1938) at CLP was SBNO for 3 years before operating again in 2010.

Ahhh Drachen Fire, one of my favorites. Violently Beautiful...

Coney Island's Thunderbolt was SBNO for 18 years...

...and destroyed during an IAAPA convention, a time when most who would have protested loudly were busy attending an industry confab.

If it was to come down how long would it take? I hate to see the coaster go but you could get a whole new area and a new coaster where SOB was.

That would be pretty cool to auction off pieces. I'd sure try to get something. That is if the termites don't get to it first!

I would miss Son of Beast. But im sure of they did take it down , they would replace it with an even better coaster.

Termites wouldn't want anything to do with that wood!

GYK, not making a joke about Son of Beast being a bad ride.

Hate to say it, but I do not believe it will be standing next season.

I hope I'm wrong and it gets fixed, but I just have a feeling it won't be standing when the next season begins.

I still think it will be standing. Just not running. You really think they would not tell us first if they were to take it down?

Yes I do, since it has not run since 2009, I just don't see them making a big deal to anyone about removing a major coaster. If the situation was different than maybe, but sadly it not.

Here what I think will happen Sonny will be taken down in the off-season to make room for a new coaster, that will highlight the Action Zone revamp that is due.

I see what your saying. If they did take it down, it would be sad. but maybe there is a chance they will take it down this off season and announce something new in its place for 2013 . The only thing about that though, is the cost to take it down, plus the cost of a new rollercoaster or new area. thats a lot to spend at one time.

your right it is, but didn't stop them with the other areas.

Rivertown- Diamondback and new pavement, snoopy starlight is kind of in Rivertown

Coney- WindSeeker, Dinosaurs Alive, new pavement, new games

Soak City- They say a refurb, retheme, and a new wave pool, new entrance, new amenities.

Thats so sad. Its my favorite coaster in the park....

Has anyone heard anything new about SOB lately?

Yes. Someone has.

Terp, ever truthful.

I heard it's still standing. Is that what you meant?

Stay tuned.

10 years? Or is that too young. Or is 2 enough?
