KI announcement

what about the SOB

Glad to see that there will be a new wave pool for KI Soak City next year. The current water park lacks the excessive seating and overall capacity. I don't know about the theme change though. I really liked the Australian theme; rather than Soak City's generic Adventure Cove/Caribbean theme.

I doubt that SOB will ever run again.

Love the water park expansion. Boomerang Bay was always overcrowded. Still would love to see a swim up bar like Bubbles at Cedar Point's Soak City. That's where we spend most of our time. Nothing better than kicking back with an adult beverage on a hot summer day and no kids running all over the place.

I thought the SOB was retiring.

I don't think Kings Island has made an official announcement yet one way or the other.

Maybe I should have said, I thought the SOB was retiring. ;)

He isn't a SOB...He just isn't the smartest person in the world. :)

Guess I'm just feeling particularly ticked at the man on this day (or yesterday, I guess now).

I completely understand. I'm related to him and still not very happy with him.

Have the lawsuits for Son of Beast ended yet? Just wondering if that's what's holding them back from deciding when they're going to remove/renovate Son of Beast.

I thought the last cases were settled out of court over the summer. I could be wrong though.

all the lawsuits regarding sob are done

I like the addition except for the name change. I like the names of the things at Cedar Point, but like uniqueness to parks too. Boomerang Bay was themed and a bit different than you would expect things at Cedar Point. I don't like using the Soak City name there, especially since it doesn't even match the model of other uses of the name which are all seperate gate parks.

I haven't been to KI's water park since Water Works, so I didn't realize the overcrowding issue. If the crowds were a problem, then this expansion was the right thing to do.

I hope the expansion paves the way for a water coaster in the future. Though I've never been on one, Holiday World's look like a blast.
