Last vestiges of Son of Beast to be torn down

Must have been a slow news day. But, the title says it all. I might have thought that this could have been a useful station for a future coaster, but I guess not.

It was always weird that the queue for Top Gun started so far from the ride, but then they had the weird SoB entrance. Didn't it cross over the Top Gun queue and have an entrance that was actually on the left? It's been awhile.

I can't remember the SOB entrance very well either, but I didn't think the two queues ever crossed paths. The entrances were right next to each other, Top Deck Flight Gun Bat on the left, SOB on the right, and they never crossed. From the satellite view, it looks like the exit ramps might have merged and crossed over the queues.

The SOB station has been used as a haunted house every since the ride shut down, so that's a loss.

Top Gun is like Medusa (or whatever they're calling it this year) at Great Adventure - like they built a long pathway to the main attraction, and never got around to filling in the stuff along the way. (Topography at Kings Island is a little more challenging IIRC.)

The SOB station hasn't been used for a Haunt since 2019, I believe. It seems strange that it has sat dormant for so long.
