@ChannelThatHasRandom allegedly incase problem with shock wave (Kings dominon) and Skyrider (Canada's Wonderland) they take to part they need from King cobra and use it on their rides (because all 3 are builted by the same company and almost identical)
@mojorisen74 you my friend are dumb, when i went to kings island over the summer it was closed because of the chain issue, i asked an employee why it was taking so long to get a part nd she said it was because the product had to be shipped from Hong Kong, China, and it would be at kings island in about a month and tht was in June, it was up and running in september.
@MrChikki True. I was riding the beast at night and they stopped it for the fireworks one night, so I was bullshittin with the dude workin the ride and he told me they were just waitin on the part for the chain. I rode it in the fall, so it's not goin anywhere. If it does, I hope they finally build a gigacoaster to replace it.
@demolitionderbyfan13 It's possible but then again I wasn't really looking for it. Same with the track...though now I'm going to be thinking about it when I ride.
@demolitionderbyfan13 that seems almost impossbible because when you ride flight of fear they turn all the lights off, so if they are still there know one would know.
this was my favorite ride ever at kinds island! I miss it :( got stuck on it once, but it was still awesome! rode it back to back all the time! Looking at the pics now, it looks so sad. RIP King Cobra! :)
even though i havent been on this roller coaster it bust be hard to say good bye to a favorite coaster like in six flags great adventure they took down scream machine and replaced it with green lantern it was hard but now i dont c scream machine i c green lantern its very hard
BRING KING COBRA BACK!!!! Post this to 3 videos on Delirium ( they took king cobra down to build it ) or any videos of Kings Islands King Cobra!!!!!! PLEASE SEND THIS TO 3 VIDEOS!!!!
why would they keep it around anyway? its like they were planning on rebuilding it and decided not to haha it would've been an awesome suprise... if only Cedar Fair would've bought the Chang and put it in Kings Island haha oh well
@chloeruggiero I was the Supervisor of Flight of Fear so yes I did walk down there everyday to check the ride and there not down there anymore at one time they were but They have moved them to a other part of the park!!
I just found this site. It appears that K.I. officials reported early this season that they expect the ride to open some time late this season. That is Son Of Beast by the way. If you are wondering. Just google will son of beast re open?
aww thats kinda sad.): i never got to ride it ! but i heard they tore it down for delirium so it ok since delirium is a pretty awsome ride. if it was a crappy ride then i would be more mad but.. yeah(:
@haylie1112 It was not that bad of a coaster. It was way out of date though. Most do not realize that the park was actually improvising parts just to keep it running when the company went bankrupt. There is sttill hope though. Son Of Beast will re open. It was said last year there was no way they were going to tear it down or get rid of it. They are going to make it more enjoyable.
@josh19852008 actually they arent opening son of beast because its not even on the map. and my teacher works at kings island and he said they probably wont open it back up i think.
@haylie1112 Well thats not what they said in a interveiw late in the season last year. It will eventually re open because it cost the park 30 million. They will not get rid of it. Cedar Point owns all that shit now. Trust me they are not going to throw it away. They will get it worked out. It is all on google though if you care to search for it
@haylie1112 That was the last time it was spoken about. There is nothing wrong with the ride structurally. Wooden coasters take alot of maintenance though. I really think the lady was just looking for something to blaim it on and blaimed it on that. Reason for me thinking this is because how long it took her to make the complaint.
@josh19852008 Um it isn't on the map go there this season look on the map where it usually would be and you'll be there scratchin' your head goin' "where's the son of beast?".
@nintendork2000 I know it isnt but I am telling you it was reported late last year that it would not be torn down. Google it and you should be able to find the article.
great video....i loved king cobra. the ride was shut down because replacement parts were no longer made. glad i was one of the many who enjoyed this wonderful ride.
I agree with Parkette. Is IS creepy to see the King Cobra train sitting in the dark, dusty and forgotten. I rode that ride so many times I can remember the duration in my head. I WISH I had one of those signs on the back that read "PLEASE KEEP FEET FLAT ON FLOOR". I must have read that over and over while waiting for the Cobra to take off! Good times!
Unfortunately none of the King Cobra is located on Kings Island premises any longer. The trains were relocated to Carowinds at the end of last season. I have one of the remaining pics of the train resting in the coaster junk yard just before it was moved. What had been in Flight of Fear is no more - as an employee I was inside the building at the end of last season and all reminence of the old coaster had been either relocated or scrapped.
Not a lie...sorry :( The trains were moved from this location to the "graveyard" down the hill from Firehawk during the 08 season. I have a few pics of the dismantled train cars. While setting up for Halloween Haunt the trains were then moved to Carowinds.
i never realized those cars were to the kc i see them all the time
