 Review of Son of Beast @ Kings Island
1 Rating Posted by: Cyclonic on 9/14/2002 4:32:00 PM
I got onto SoB really wanting to like this coaster, I mean look at the stats, first wooden hyper, only wooden coaster with a loop, this look like a great coaster. Getting into the car, I found my first major problem, this must have to smallest, tightest cars I have ever been in. I mean, I have been on small fammily coasters with bigger cars. I sat down, pulled down the lap bar, and didnt breath the whole ride. I could not move my legs, at all, they were pinned between the lapbar supports, and my feet were crushed against this foot rest it had. It losses several points for the poor design of these cars.

The ride itself, well if you are a fan of mega positive Gs, you will love this ride. It litarally crushes you into the cramped seat at the bottom of the hills. The first drop is great, and the loop happens so fast you are though it and done before you know it. It has lots of speed, and is rough, but not too rough. It has no air time that I could tell, but then again I couldnt move anyway.

Agreed, I think next time I will cross my legs to give me some more leg room. I am but 58", an average size, and those cars are just too small. if they were to change to PTC cars may make an improvement.

I think this is a very honest review-and I agree that the trains are a big part of SOBs troubles. The coaster and the layout are great, especially the large drops and the loop, and the 2 double helices are great. Even with the present trains, if you sit in the middle of the cars between the wheels, it gives a decent ride. AVOID THE BACKSEAT OF THE LAST CAR AT ALL COSTS! I rode there once and it gave an unpleasant and bumpy ride. I agree that PTC or Millennium Flyer trains would be much better.
