Oh, I have to disagree! Mean Streak is horrible and has absolutely nothing going for it, but at least you can get through it without breaking the skin! SoB is horribly painful, but Mean Streak is much less painful, not to mention boring. (IMO, IMHO, etc....)

This morning on Channel 12 here in Cincinnati they said two people who rode The Beast smelled smoke. Also they had some video of a fire truck heading back in the woods by the beast. The ride was down for one hour then reopened.

I may be slightly biased since PKI is my homepark, but SOB has it's moments when I actually like it:
1. When the park is closed.
2. When it's broken down.
3. When I'm not on it!
But...I would still rather see Mean Streak become the site for the worlds biggest weanie roast!

Maybe there really is an arsonist in PKI. If there is, people will probably forgive them for burning SOB. that might be good for PKI actually. It clears up alot of land that could be used for a new coaster. cough::King Cobra::cough.

ya, it is smooth now that they retracked it. It was not painful at all when I went. The second row was smooth as glass. It was the smoothest woodie I have ever been on actually.

^you're about the 5 different person that said that. It "has?" been retracked, but only around the helix-sections right?
I would wonder if they take away two cars from the train it would have a different result too.

Accident on Son of Beast
by TheKlockster » Sun Jul 09, 2006 3:41 pm
Ok - this just happened - and facts are sketchy. Two of the local channels are reporting from the park - and have showed a train stopped on the lift, empty. I am assuming that it was evacuated.
As for the other train - it appears that SOMETHING happened - and that people had to be rushed to the hospital. There was a bump - and the train stopped mid course. At least 5 people went out on stretchers - and as many as 25 could be injured.
