More Problems for Flight of Fear at Kings Island?

It's been reported that Kings Island once again had an issue with Flight of Fear this past weekend.

Saturday morning fire crews were called out to the park due to smoke seen coming from the ride. The smoke, according to Kings Island's statement, was from an electrical panel and was able to be dealt with quickly. Luckily, little damage was done and only the panel itself was effected.

Just a couple of weeks ago, on June 3rd, fire crews were called out to the ride due to heavy smoke as well. That incident resulted in the ride building being evacuated and 18 people suffering from heavy smoke inhalation. The cause was apparently due to a motor within the ride malfunctioning.

At this point one has to wonder if the days are numbered for Flight of Fear. Only time will tell if the ride has some major faults or if they can be corrected to keep it running smoothly in the future.

Kings Island: Son of Beast Demolition UPDATE

Howdy Folks, 

 I'm sorry that Insanity Lurks Inside has been quiet for so long lately. However we've been massively busy with that annoying reality type thing but never fear! We've got a ton of updates and stories which we've been following lately but haven't gotten written up yet, so please keep your eyes open for them.

UPDATE: Son of Beast Demolition

 A friend of mine was recently at Kings Island, knowing that Son of Beast is scheduled for demolition very shortly he was kind enough to snap several pictures of the soon to be lost coaster for us. So far it doesn't look as if the work has yet begun on removal, at least in what is visible from the show side of the park.

So far even Google Maps still shows the coaster as a complete piece. However it's hard to say when these where last updated or when they will be updated again.  However we will do our very best to keep everyone posted and updated with information as it comes to us about the destruction of a Roller Coaster Legend.

If you have updates, information or picture you'd like to share with Insanity Lurks Inside please feel free to email us anytime!  InsanityLurksInside@Gmail.Com
