July 10, 200620 yr I usually don't ride it anyway. Been there done that. Have not ridden it in a couple of years.
July 10, 200620 yr Don't jump the gun here. Son of Beast will be closed down for a while or Cedar Fair will close it down for good. I am unsure if I will ride it again it hurt this year and they fixed it. I rode in the front, middle and last car of the train.
July 10, 200620 yr Be right there when its opens It will like seeing my son comming out of the hostpital
July 10, 200620 yr I'd happily ride it again. Of course, it all depends on what the Dept. of Agriculture, and authorities say as to when the ride could reopen, and then, of course, Cedar Fair's final decision. If they chose to permanently close Son of Beast, I'd greatly respect their decision. At least my last ride to this date was in the front seat on July 4.
July 10, 200620 yr I always sit in the middle row of the second car...It's hurt me every time except for when I sit there....so I refuse to sit newhere else
July 11, 200620 yr I'll put it this way...I'm no less likely to ride it when it opens back up than I would have been otherwise. I'm not a huge fan of the ride in the first place.
July 11, 200620 yr I will definitely ride it again if it's open when i go, one of my favorite rides... Plus my dad and i had a thing going and if i won he would ride it, he's a bit scared of it, and i definitely won. Also, this is the first real accident, that had lasting reprocussions, that i've heard of at KI, so i trust the staff will figure out what went wrong and fix it, they've done a great job so far...
July 11, 200620 yr Of course i'll ride it again. They will not reopen the ride unless they figure out what caused the problem, and make sure it won't happen again. My last ride was on July 4th as well. I rode it twice that day.
July 11, 200620 yr Im sure they will reopen it when they know everything is 100% alright, who knows maybe CF will retrack it again or do something to make to be even smoother... but yes I will be there when it opens in the next few weeks, or even next season.
July 11, 200620 yr I voted no but my answer isn't because of the accident. I just wasn't crazy about it after my first ride.
July 11, 200620 yr I have a feeling that we will all be waiting until next year. I will ride it again if it re-opens.
July 11, 200620 yr Never did and never will. Out of my league now - The Beast is about as big as I care to go.
July 11, 200620 yr I will definately ride it again. It is a great ride - and I realize that while accidents do happen - the odds are very much against it...
July 13, 200620 yr I would be willing to ride a six hour marathon on SOB once they give it thumbs up just to help prove it safe once again.
