Dang. I was there yesterady too all day, but i saw no test runs...

I even waited like 45 min to ride top gun so i could see the new trains!

Does anyone know what the logo looks like on front of the new SOB trains? Maybe perhaps a picture? Thanks.

If I had to take a guess, I would say the same as the old logo, except without the loop. And obviously the trains will sport the new KI logo.

Do you have a picture?

They also have the helix on it.

[Of what iv'e heard.]

its like red white and blue, if I recall..

I'll try to sneak a peek and get some worthy pictures. No promises.

Too bad its so hard to see the trains for the paths.

The Logo on the front of train, looks just like the logo on the sign. Now that logo that is on the pressed pennies.

Yeah the logo is just the words "Son of Beast", in the same design as the sign. I don't remember there being any illustrations on it. Sorry I don't have pics.

Ya it's the same w/o the loop from what i've seen

It tested throughout the day...was pretty easy to spot as long as you kept an eye on the track. Those trains look pathetic in size-four riders per train, and the cars themselves look like matchboxes compared to the old Premier toughen-up-and-buckle-in hyper woodie trains.

I'll post some b-roll I took earlier today at the park of testing.

B-roll???

Pictures???

Film???

What ever it is i can't wait.

The trains are standard 4 person 6 car trains made by Gerstlauer. They have been running it off and on for the past few days. The paint will be red on red and blue on blue. They dont have any logo on the front car yet. If you dont believe me i dont care hell The Racers dont even have a logo on the train any more. From what ive herd the light weight trains are acually running faster than the old trains. Ive also herd they arent as loud going up the lift but ive yet to hear it run but have seen it. They are looking to add the second train soon but thats all im going to say.

i also have pictures of the loop b4 they removed it from the ride. Ive also got a few of them while they were cutting it down. I may post them in the future but they are standard pictures couze i have not gotten one of them fancy digital cameras yet. lol...

end of transmission

P.S. guess i was wrong about the logo on sob. Its been a few days since ive been out to the ride. It acually looks really good. They will have a blue train painted the same way as the red.

when was that?

I'm ready to go for a ride

I see ORANGE seatbelts

That makes 3 of us.

Here it is...some Son of Beast testing. Took the video on my Fujifilm Finepix F10, so the quality is not exactly high.

Enjoy the video...because this may be the most painless way to experience this ride.

no wonder why it looked so stretched out, and thanks for the video fry. That made my night.

Why a Blue Train?

I think that blue would look cool on a different sort of way. Those trains look really small. Can anyone compare the size of the G-Trains to the old trains?

I don't remember the chain being that loud.

As I entered the park this evening to meet up with Boddah and Dane I was greeted by a familiar sound and sight...

Cant wait to give it another shot, KI's maintenance teams are among the best in the industry, I'm sure they'll do a fantastic job.

I think that SOB is about 95% ready to open.

Happy July 4th! Here's SOB.

Is that a bad thing? I never rode SoB before..

Well, it's a kind of bad thing.

=\

I'm betting the G-restraints plus seatbelts are still better than the Premier restraints.

I remember the old restraints hurt really bad if you didn't leave enough room to allow for the roughness of the ride.

Ya they killed if you didn't know how much room to leave!
