  • Good grief it sounds so raggedy. :/

  • R.I.P To All People That Used Headphones.

  • i rode it with the loop it was scary!!

  • I never got a chance to ride it before it closed :(

  • R.I.P Son of Beast.

  • Nice hairy legs XD

  • @supercrazdude it reopened the next year and there was another accident in 2009 and its been closed since

  • what's the record for youngest to ride this with the loop? My son was 4yrs 4mths when he first got on this, He's almost 13 now. Big kid.  Anyone know who keeps track of this stuff?

  • I i heard was screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech the whole time :/

  • @FunAndOnly u HAVE to get a goddamn life

  • @supercrazdude It never "died". It may be destroyed however.

  • its been closed since 2009

  • what

    

  • time to make a tooth pick factory

  • i hate wooden roller coasters

  • R.I.P Headphones

  • Add a prefabricated wood track, reinstall the loop use lighter trains, add some 90 degree turns, and a steeper drop. Problem solved.

  • @StreetStrip03 ik but thats what everyone was sayin back when it shut down

    .

  • If your gonna be a pussy and complain don't ride it again. Geese

  • R.I.P.

  • Definitely an unsafe coaster, glad it's done.

  • The anti-rollbacks are so loud..

  • its a wooden roller coaster they are all rickety thats why people like them if you dont want a rough ride stay off of wooden coasters. people that complain about them end up ruining them for the real fans of wooden coasters. i really hope that they dont do to this coaster what six flags did to the texas giant.

  • @thebeast6671 I totally agree. Texas Giant looks like crap now. I hope they can do whatever they need to do to get this back up and running WITHOUT making it look a mess like Texas Giant.

  • @thebeast6671 I love wooden roller coasters along with the Steel ones, but if none of the amusement parks had a steel roller coaster I would still ride the wooden ones. I don't know what it is, but I like the rough ones, but not rough steel coasters I HATE THEM!

  • @sportsygirl8 i like it rough too. diamondback is boring, but the beast is badass!

  • @stangsaleens7 It does look pretty awesome, but I live too far from Kings Island...one of these days I'll go there.

  • @thebeast6671 Too late. Its shut down for good.

  • @thebeast6671. They will. Wooden roller coasters are only supposed to go so fast. The Beast, for example, reaches a top speed of 63 miles an hour and it is still one of the roughest woodies in the world. The SON of Beast, however, goes a whopping 80 miles an hour. Wood moves as it is put under strain, and there is a limit to its tensile strength when put under that much pressure from the cars. Son of Beast was a mistake. KI SAID it was a mistake. And its designer called it a mistake. SOB sucks.

  • @thebeast6671 Hey ass hole have you even been on the new Texas Giant? It is absolutely amazing. And yes I was able to ride the Original with out any pain. I still like the new one.

  • @thebeast6671 Theres a difference between rickety and violent.

  • i heard they shut this down cuz it was so rough

  • my uncol siad it beat his leg

  • my favorite ride at Kings Island. i rode it 2 times in a row, without even having to unbuckle - it was a slow day, and the guy let us ride it again. it was so fun, but riding it in a row hurt my chest like hell. felt like i was gonna have a heart attack. oh well, i love the ride and how many of you can say you rode this ride twice in a row without unbuckling - not many. i hope they reopen it. But in the mean time can you please like the FB page - SAVE SON OF BEAST. please like that page.

  • Its closed now cuz 2 people died on it. 1 person got beheaded and the other fell out the side

  • @mrcoolcat455 dude, nobody DIED on the ride. 1 person burst a blood vessel and died in a hospital, and 37 people had major neck and nose injuries, none of them dying.

  • @oreoninja98

    Nobody died on the ride, but they DIED maybe because of it. I think that's the only thing that actually matters here.

  • itsucks without the loop.

  • nice leg

  • I would have to think that they are going to totally re-profile the ride into something totally new. It has been done before with many rides that didn't quite work out. The only reason this one lasted as long as it did was because of it's record setting stats. I rode the front seat and thought the ride was great. Went back another time and rode rear and couldn't hardly walk off the train. They'll do some thing with it, but "Son of Beast" is gone forever.

  • u cant ride this annymoreeee ;(

  • went on it totlly fun

  • @TheMegacoolgirl19 Its closed...

  • hairyy

  • awwwhh, no loop. :(

  • i work a kings island, yes son of beast is CLOSED FOREVER. notice it is off the map? :)

  • @DAOfanatic if it's closed 4ever, then y is it still standing?

  • @onyxgoth11 Me And My friend were there a couple days ago & we asked the guy on drop zone if they were ever going to let people ride it agian, He said that they were having server tenchical issues.

  • @onyxgoth11 Look at Six Flags New Orleans. None of the rides will ever open again, yet they've been standing for over 5 years now.

  • @TeamApparition yeahh, but that park was ABANDONED. Son of Beast and King's Island were not.

  • @onyxgoth11 The park wasn't abandoned, there was just no hope at all for salvaging anything. Son of Beast cannot open due to all the issues around it (Lawsuits, etc.). However, they haven't made any decisions on whether to give it the TG treatment, close it, or open it as is.

  • @TeamApparition i guess, but they did salvage like 4 rides. after that, then six flags abandoned the park. i just wish that son of beast was open. when i went to KI for halloween haunt last year, which was my first time going to KI, I was hoping to ride SOB. tHEN WHEN i SAW THAT IT WAS CLOSED, i WAS SAD.

  • When they going to open it back up i never got to ride it

  • they dont have it anymore :(

  • The son of beast is way better than the diamondback.

  • @stangsaleens7 no it isnt at least on the diamondback u dont get the shit bruised out of you

  • @3rsliz its not that bad, it just seperates the men from the boys thats all.

  • damn wat a long ride

  • i love it but your head is slaneing every were

  • I was 4 the first time i rode this^.^ I think i diedd.:]

  • @SnickersObsessed are you dumb, you never got on this. You got on beastie retard

  • I will miss this ride i rode it with and without the loop. The loop was awesome its a little rough but it was freakin awesome

  • son of a beast

  • I've always wanted to ride this but it's always f*cking closed when I go and now they've closed it for the whole season :/

  • @NoPancakeMixxx Sorrry hon but i think it's closed forever.

  • the high pitched noise scared the shit out of me because i had it all the way up when i muted it

  • I aint going to lie when i went i nearly pissed my pants

  • God damn, this thing screeches like a bitch.

  • @kangaroo52100 they died dude. Like 17 ppl broke their necks but 2 ppl died. The chain that takes u up broke and it rolled backward.

  • @TheRebelboys123 No, I think they were just injured. I don't recall they're ever being a death. Or maybe there was, but if so that was unrelated. And I think what happened was actually something went wrong with the track and it derailed.

  • @girlofgaga63 in the helix th first wodd was splinterd and it made a sharp joult so ya and 1 person died the day after but they had 7 other pre-existing health problems

  • i wanted to ride tht but by the time i went they shut it down cuz someone died on it!!!!:(

  • @SuperSamijr no they didnt, someone got injured.

  • i just about peed my pants wen i saw the leg.

  • i know i have a season pass to kings island was talking to people that worked there and everyone is in agreement that if you cant handle the ride dont ride it. Same reason they have big ass signs up about risk of injuries.

  • The ride first accident was due to the loop. The beam that ws used in the loop had sagged causing the steel frame to jolt the coaster when it hit it at the top of the loop. That accident was what injured 30 something people. The issue that closed it down was a issue of a lady sueing kings island due to popping a blood vessel in her head due to the roughness of the ride.

  • @Donniet damn what a beeotch wood coaster are always rough its just hard 2 make them smooth. so y sue kings island. she didnt have 2 go on the ride & ruin it 4 all of us. damn

  • dude you got some hairy legs... :)

  • If you love SoB help save it! Go to facebook and join the "Save Son Of Beast!" facebook page. KI needs to know its worth saving!

  • if its shaking the camera thing then that must of hurt because ive never rode it

  • hated that ride always beat me up thumbs up if u agree

  • @iichocolatemuffinn Then why do you ride it to begin with?

  • @iichocolatemuffinn never got to ride it always closed when i went but i wanted to ride it so bad

  • That thing gave me head aches lol

  • 1. tooooooooo loud

    2. they shut down son of the beast because they had like 9 cases on the ride lots of ppl got rich from that. (they had got hurt durrung the ride)

  • @skullkrusherROBLOX The ride just needs tweaked. One idea they are throwing around is taking out the double Rose Bowl and just adding more hills. From what I have been hearing on facebook they have a couple of different ideas.

  • i miss this ride.

  • RIP BEST WOODIE EVER MADE :(

  • @zacharyjrsman lol thats what she said!

  • @Rednckchristmas LOL i walked into that :P haha

  • @zacharyjrsman yess u did

  • The son of beast is shut down, because a guy had a heart attack and died. 50 people puked a day from this ride, while on it.

  • how did it set a world record? =)

  • @thegaminmakeupfreak Tallest, fastest, only looping wooden roller coaster. Also the 2nd longest wooden roller coaster, and it had the tallest drop of any wooden coaster.

  • i rode this when it still had the loop in it. i still dont understand why they took it out... but the ride up was nerve wracking becuse it sounded like it was about to break at any moment... very loud!!!!

  • They created Diamondback in place of this.

  • @DanceFerLyfe Uh, no they didn't. This still stands. Diamondback is located towards the center and rear of the park.

  • @TeamApparition Uh, I meant that in a........ theoretical means. It's not on top of it. It's just a substitute of it's loss.

  • @DanceFerLyfe Ok, good. I've heard that one a lot and its annoying lol. I understand what you mean now.

    No one cares how fucking old you are.

  • Comment removed

  • @kathryny1998

    Wow, nice language, 13 old girl, I guess this generation is truly pitiful.

    I am in disappoint, son.

  • u know they're gonna probably open it back up in a few years

  • sucks they closed this. i love that ride

  • i heard they were just goin to tear it down because it has so many mechanical problems

  • a woman threatened to sue KI because she hurt her neck on it... it has been closed since 2009, but on the radio the other day they said they will reopen it this season or next but that might just be a lie :(

  • I'm not really sure but it's been closed since 2009

  • is this ride close down??

  • This ride has been closed for a while and I hope it stays closed because I'm pretty sure there have been a few lawsuits over this ride

  • @Tabbystripes102 why what happen with it

  • the sound is horrific!!!

  • For anybody that has been on this ride, oh my god...it's so crazy fun and sketchy at the same tiime <33

  • Incredibly weak that the loop was taken out...

  • nice close up on the legs there

  • @realfkinhero You seem like someone I would hate to hang out with. In other words, a douche.

  • @realfkinhero Are you fucking kidding me. -__-

  • this ride is a liability

  • yea every time i go to kings island its always closed 

  • @wemerkbitches Its closed down, thats why

  • GREAT SOUND!!!!!!!!

  • my cousin and i busted our chins on the first drop and itwasn't our fault the drop jerked us forward into the bar and this was the first year it was open

  • looks like you're going through a stargate

  • .I heard that 5 poeple died . Olso it is closed

  • @segevm111 No body has died on this ride. Someone died a day later, but that was due to a pre-existing condition (Meaning he shouldn't have ridden it). However, over 30 people have been hurt on this ride since it was built.

  • @TeamApparition They should have not closed it, why should they ruin the fun to those that can ride it when people that aren't even supposed to be on it get hurt or die?

  • @XxFIREHAWK14xX 27 people were injured when a wooden support broke, which made the train jolt. Problem?

  • @TeamApparition I've gotten on this ride atleast 5 times and NEVER had a problem. 27 ppl out of how many riders over the years? Thats less than 1%

  • @XxFIREHAWK14xX 30 people hurt is 30 people more than on a normal ride... rides 8x as old as Son of Beast have had less than 3 accidents.

  • @XxFIREHAWK14xX the people that were on the ride were average sized people. just like you and me. let me put it simply. wooden rides shouldnt be built over 200 hundred feet without a steel track system likie the new texas giant has.

  • Worker at kings island told me a man died on this ride

  • the bottom of the hill at 1:50 there used to be a loop til it derailed they had to take it out now its closed down cause some old lady bitched about it hurt her back well no shit lady its a wooden coaster its not smooth like metal

    R.I.P check out the beast also at kings island it beats the shit out of you worse then this one

  • @lilshortay1723 All but two things you said are wrong. Two things you got right: There used to be a loop there. And wooden coasters aren't as smooth. Everything else is wrong.

  • god i miss the loop and the son of beast all together

  • I guess you have to give this coaster a break it was built in 1979 I think O_O

  • @kimmijrockdork

    no it wasnt, this is brand new, built like 6 years ago.

  • @G2DaooZe Yes I know 11 years ago sorry

  • @kimmijrockdork i know someone already corrected you i just wanted to let you know you were thinking of the beast another coaster at the park and it beats the shit out of you its very rough and they ruined it when they put lights in the tunnel lol

  • I cant believe no one screamed or owt!

  • I think this is the one they closed downn, in Cincinatti OH. or the Beastt:PP

  • @shanedawsonlover99 it wasnt shut down it was closed for inspection because some black bitch lied and said she hit her head on a beam on the ride

  • @cavaliersfan08 hahahaa, you made my day when you said thatt(:

  • @cavaliersfan08 from what i hear they are not going to open it up this year because to many people complain and they dont want lawsuits

  • @lilshortay1723 Fuck! I'll sue them for not opening it.

  • Sad they took out the loop.

  • I almost got on that once. I would've only if it wasn't closed for something.

  • even the WOOD was rusty! OMG

  • This ride was SO good when it came out. It's gotten so rough, and since there's no loop there really isn't much attraction. It hurts your whole body.

  • @chloebeth13 and thats what makes it fun and adds personality

  • @cavaliersfan08 I disagree. There's an extent. It's now just ridiculous and painful. 

  • @chloebeth13 I also disagree. While yes it does kinda hurt and i am a fighter pilot in the US Air Force, it has not yet caused any deaths that weren't unpreventable.

  • No Loop..... :(

  • aahhhhh

    my volume was loud

    i almost got heart attack

  • Ouch! my ears are ringing. SHIT

  • Would've screamed but the wind was knocked out of me...

  • chain is slow!

  • soooo wheres the flip

    

  • @TurnLeftAgain they dont have that anymore.

  • so bumpy

  • Why is the lift hill chain so loud, Kings Island should re-profile the track to make it more exciting, why did they not add a Bunny Hop or Camelbck where the loop was..?

  • @sparky30368 its loud because if the chain should break, the clicking noise is roll back bar.. it will stop the train from rolling back if that should happen. the bar moves into the grove which is the clicking you commonly here on trains.

  • bad graphics but cool ride

  • @j2dahayz u do know its real right

  • rumor prob got started because they took "a piece" of it out long time ago. lol

  • @farmvillionaire They actually removed the entire loop and replaced a section of the rosebowl...

  • Pain: The Ride.

  • Turn ur speakers DOWN !

  • this beat el toro?

  • greastest roller coaster ever.... R.I.P the son of beast is getting tooken out

  • @MrBkinney09 that has not been confirmed. nothing has. kings island has not said anything about what they plan to do to the coaster. if a park employee or a friend told you this they are lying.

  • @jwhittle91 i wouldnt doubt it, its nolonger listed on their thrill rides page on their website....

  • @MIDNswagg me neither. i hate to see it go but it does look like there's a good chance of them getting rid of it.

  • I rode this with and w/o the loop! either way its an amazing ride! even though it has a bad rep now I would still ride it if they reopen it.

  • thumbs up if u mute it quickly

  • the loop is awesome

  • wooden roller coasters are the best,
