Half-way through SOB I began blinking my eyes madly, hoping I would rematerialize at the station platform. This ride is BRUTAL. From the moment youre pinned in the seat, legs cramping from the tight restraint system, to the double helix Satan himself designed, SOB really is an SOB. Youve got to be worried when the on-ride photo is snapped at the approach to the lift hill! If the camera were anywhere else, courtrooms nationwide would be swamped by physical and mental abuse cases from this ride alone. The loop is smooth, but no cause for celebration -- it merely serves as a respite from the punishment. Ive ridden tons of coasters and generally like the rough-and-tumble of a good woodie but MY GOD this was too much to bear. Funny enough I DID buy a set of drink coasters becuase the SOB logo is so cool. Also, I think everyone should ride it and is welcome to his/her own opinion. Like The Beast, Ill have to wait 18 years to ride SOB again -- long after its been loaded up with trim breaks! PKI - heres a new slogan for your T-Shirts: "Son of Beast - You dont RIDE it, you SURVIVE it!"
