 Review of Son of Beast @ Kings Island

Fix it. This is the ride we all love to hate, but the lay out is actually pretty interesting. It would be a great twister if it didnt jackhammer incessantly. The recent accident came as no surprise. Anything this rough was obviously destined for severe mechanical failure. I disagree with the idea that woodies cant be this big and still be rideable. A steel/wood hybrid structure could possibly pull off a 200 ft. drop well on a wooden track coaster. Also, Intamins prefabricated woodies hold a lot of promise for larger woodies that would be similar to Son of Beast.

Ha. Somebody gave me a bad review on this. I bet Ive ridden SOB more times this season than they have. This ride sent like 27 people to the hospital, and one poor woman was in the for several days. These arent people with pre-existing conditions that didnt have any business riding. SOB maimed those people because its that poorly constructed of a ride. I dont blame the designer, because Werner Stengel is no idiot. He is very unlikely to be at fault. SOB tracks worse than any ride Ive ever seen. RCCA should be horsewhipped for this one.

Dont worry about it ginzo. People give bad reviews all the time and then say nothing to you. That is one problem with this site.

Its no big secret. Its nearly dead last in the Internet Coaster Poll. I hope KI can fix up this ride, but this is not likely. They were too cheap to even buy new trains for it. A lot of people think SOB wont last too much longer.

I agree that if this coaster was made by Intamin, thus being a prefab coaster, it would've performed better, even with the loop!
