I cant think of anything good to say about this ride. As impressive as the structure is, and as much as I like woodwork, I cant even say it looks good because I think it has a bad case of "too much". I pretty much hated the Myrtle Beach hurricane, and I cheered when I saw that it was torn apart, so to see some of it live on (in the form of 2 G-Trains), I wanted to cry. Nothing like putting awful trains from one of the worst woodies on earth on an even worse waste of wood. The pre-lift wasnt too bad, but Im sure its nothing like Hades. The lift is annoying because it is terribly loud. Havent even gone down a big drop and already its losing points. The first drop is ok, though even on the turn up top and on your way down you can start to realize this isnt going to be fun. Going into the massive helix-like bowl, I braced myself for what was indeed one of the roughest parts of any ride on earth. Already before we began to head back towards the station, I needed pharmaceutical relief. Going back through the former loop, it was nice to have an almost-smooth section of track before we began to toss through the second nasty helixt. The worst part is that at one point, you pass near the station and at least I thought it was almost over -- nope! Still more torturing left, as if we hadnt gotten enough at this point. Once it did and and I realized I had survived, I couldnt help but vow to never ride again. Of course, I said that with Psyclone too, and ended up riding one last time before they demolished it... but if I dont get my courtesy goodbye ride on this piece of crap, I wont lose any sleep. Son of Beast joins the ranks of Predator, Villain and Psyclone as the worst coasters I have been on.
