  • I cant belive Mean Streak never hurt anyone

  • I only got to ride this once in 2009 : (

  • Guys...you do realize that the ride did re-open in '07, right? It remained open until 2009. It's only been SBNO for going on 3 years now. It hasn't been sitting there unused for six years...

  • if people cant handle it.. that is there fault so reopen it!people get all kinds of pains from the racers and you dont see them removing it!

  • "it could b weeks before this ride is open again" = UNDERSTATEMENT. went there a few months ago hoping it was. still wasnt. now 2012 so its been like 6 years. rip sob

  • waited 8 hours to ride it when it first came out with the loop. Going into it you had to know that it was going to be intense, and just like The Beast, you have to brace yourself. These idiots didn't know what hit them.

  • Still closed to this day

  • i was there when it colapsed and my dad got off before it had happened

  • do any of u people even live in ohio like around Kings? now son of beast just sits there and rots and they re going to let until it just falls cause itll cost 3 millino dollars to take it down

  • I am not saying that the ride is perfect. If only 70 or so(not sure what the number is on the whole) but out of thousands does that not say somthing? I am sure that people who should not ride those types of rides do and then they blame the ride. That makes me mad. There are things in life that I may like but they might be bad for me, do I do it anyways, I'd like to but my health(most of the time) is more important. Maybe we should look at our choices rather then blame it on our poor judgment.

  • @jgirgis81 Roller coasters should not hurt one person. Any more than 5 injuries, and the ride should go through a major overhaul. Any more than 10, and the ride should be closed.

    Its like saying getting killed in a car accident is a choice.

  • I rode The Son of the Beast with the loop and with the funnel, It was very tough on your neck on both types of coaster. That is why it has closed permanently.

  • this ride is very scary i got killed on this ride and let me tell you it is a really awesome ride but be careful you might get killed like me

  • At least we have the racer still

  • I dislike this video because I agree with MightyStarsky. And I haven't even ridden that ride before. This ride is built for the Russians!!! xD Not weaklings like Spongebob.

  • Wooden coasters arent meant to have loops...

  • The whole part of going to Amusement parks, is to ride rides that are scary, If you don't like it don't ride anything, Ruining it for everybody else.

  • @xXAmyWaleXx But this was hurting people...

  • @xXAmyWaleXx PEOPLE CONSISTENTLY WERE INJURED RIDING THIS ABOMINATION OF ENGINEERING. INJURED!!!! NOT JUST GIVEN DISCOMFORT.

  • The ride is a wooden coaster that goes 78 MPH, its not going to be smooth, if you can't handle the beast, dont fucking ride it.

  • @MightyStarsky AGREED!

  • @MightyStarsky AGREED!

  • @MightyStarsky You summed it up.

  • Making a Hypercoaster out of wood probably isn't a good idea. If they want a hypercoaster that's rough and bumpy, just have Vekoma build one.

  • Paramount was shit. We can make what we want now.

  • :O I rode the beast :o it looks like now im scared ):

  • The local 12 poll my answer to that would be yes and no because it depends on the accident. If it was an accident that was due to someone being stupid then the answer would be no, but if it was an accident due to the ride structure than yes it would keep me from riding that ride.

  • went to Kings Island today... The Son of the Beast is getting creepy looking with all the vines and shit growing on it. lmao

    It's daddy is still going.. but the son is dead...

  • @TheNewBlackster Why didn't they tear it down and put a new roller coaster or ride there?

  • @sportsygirl8

    i don't know know. They should make a new one called "Grandson of the Beast" lol

  • @TheNewBlackster lol...yeah they should build a new one and call it that.

  • I use to ride it back to back...pussies

  • To bad the ride was closed before i had the chance to get on -_-

  • man paramount should be be back to kings island its miossing its campground all because of cedar fair mann i miss tht

  • @xPs3Xmods The campground was removed, and replaced with Great Wolf Lodge, under Paramount's ownership. Cedar Fair had nothing to do with that.

  • Ceder fair sucks compared to paramount

  • Ok igot enough replys on that one question uhm im just gonna delete it

  • We were there last week and beast was there but mothballes .It's not shown on the park map anymore, but the structure looks intact. I wen tot KI when it was a new park .. only the racer was there. I've been many more times since, and took our 9 and 11 year old for the first time. The park is still great, very clean though some of the stuff is older. The Beast is STILL the longest coaster in the world wood or Steel ... and my kids LOVED it. Go there and have fun ! Ebay has discount tix!

  • We were there last week and it wasn't running...It is not shown on the preprinted park map anymore, but the structure looks intact.

  • The turbulence of SOB was unreal. 78 MPH might not sound that fast for a coaster but with how rough this ride was, the rider would feel every bit of the 78.

    I rode it twice and the second time I had to lay down in the grass to recover from what felt like getting my ass kicked in a mosh pit.

  • ummm, the coaster opened way before 2000, i remember it being there when i went in 1997

  • @ghezzinator9000 Hhahahahahahha no? It opened in 2009. And now, it's history.

  • @GatorNation1221 ok , i was misenterpreting, it was the beastie that i remember (the kiddie coaster beast) and it did open later, but how can it have just opened in 2009 when it was closed down in 2008?

  • @ghezzinator9000 Opps, the 9 was by the 0. I meant 2000. And now, it's history.

  • I don't understand why they took out the loop since it had NOTHING to do with the accident.

  • @InvisibleTeeth . The report showed that the structure was really not able to support the weight of the trains.

    In order to replace the trains with lighter ones the loop had to be removed.

  • @cookieyy Oh, ok...I got it now. It was confusing because I thought the accident happened before the loop section...but yeah that makes sense now

  • @InvisibleTeeth The ride couldent support the trains so they had to remove the loop to pay for the lighter trains.

  • I fucking loved this ride so much. It was one of my favorites back in the day when it was opened. they really should repair it to the best of their abilities, and do a little work on the track. Id also really love if they put the loop back in, and get some trains with good support that could clear it. I know its easier said than done but that would be nice. cant let a legend go to waste. and for people who get hurt, ride at your own risk. you either love the son of beast or hate it

  • @metalsushidog The loops supports were metal but the tracks rails were laid on wood just like the rest of the ride. Calling it a wood coaster is referring to how the track is made not to what the support structure is made from. Gemini at Cedar Point is wood framed but it has steel track so it would be a steel coaster.

  • i saw it today and there taking off the rails now.

  • @SuperScrafty099 No they aren't...

  • @TeamApparition Dude, i clearly saw the coaster, most of the coaster does't have rails

  • @SuperScrafty099 Trust me, I would have heard about it by now. Some of my enthusiast friends went today and said nothing about it. In fact, I just saw a picture taken TODAY of the ride, and its still the same.

  • @TeamApparition the track's rails. there being taken off. case closed

  • @SuperScrafty099 Nice job being a troll. Now get a life.

  • @TeamApparition Even if they aren't taken off, they won't open it again. CASE TRULY CLOSED.

  • I was just there a couple days ago and the ride is still standing you can see it when entering the parking lot. From the POV it looks like a fun ride but if it was open I don't think I would risk it. Maybe if they had some sort of over the head seatbelt that secured your neck into place then it wouldnt be so bad.

  • It was the best ride in the park. kings island is stupid to get rid of it.

  • SON OF BEAST IS DOWN FOREVER. i work at KI, they are scrapping it for future projects.

  • @DAOfanatic Funny, because CF NEVER tells employees anything. You are lying.

  • @TeamApparition haha ok whatever :) not that the department managers didnt tell us it will never run again or anything, they were lying too :)

  • @KeshaThePink yes it open right noow, went on it yesterday!

  • @emilybaker97

    I was there too..

    It was raining while I was there. I stayed til it stopped raining and started riding again!

  • @KeshaThePink its no longer running they closed it down forever

  • @twirler2016 they did not close it down forever

  • @dylanmo91 check kings islands website its not there anymore

  • @twirler2016 i no. but that doesnt mean its gone forever

  • @dylanmo91 i think it does

  • so now there are are going to be compitition for different parks to build a looping wooden coaster.

  • ive only ridden that once and i had a headache after it shortly after i rode it though (not that time) it closed it was bout a month

  • i see, thx 4 the great vids

  • ya i was at kings island yesterday and its still there..i asked if it would open again...they said yes but not for a long time. i have wrode it in the past...the next day i had really bad neck pain...

  • THEY R NOT TAKING IT OUT IN AUGUST THEY R ANNOUNCING NEW FOR 2012 SO THATS NOT TRUE!!!!!!!!!!

  • @tectonicskating yes, they are trying to reopen it, by working on it this summer.. i saw ppl walking on the track, testing for stress and bad wood..bunch of the park ppl said they are going to fix it 1of 3 ways.

  • @myredrose1974 fail this winter

  • I rode it for the first time in 2007 and it was fine, I don't get why they took the loop out if the problem was with that double helix turn. And now there taking it out completely? U don't even want to go there anymore. Cedar Point here I come.

  • Thumbs up if you rode this the day it opened.

    I vowed to never ride it again after that. it was the most dangerous ride ever made. apparently OSHA agrees with me.

  • @TheCrawdaddy029 i never got hurt on it an i was fine with it it wasnt hard to breath what about you?

  • Comment removed

  • @volcomluvr123 Why Not?

  • @volcomluvr123 for the epicness

  • @volcomluvr123 they wanted to see if it could be done and it did work until the people got hurt its future is still in limbo

  • @volcomluvr123 The loop was on the ground, and it was also made of metal. The loop was awesome. I miss it and this entire ride in general :(

  • @volcomluvr123 Why not is the real question.

  • @pichurap21 yes it sure is! cant wait!

  • "it was hard to breathe, u know hard to breathe".. cuz im old!

  • They should make it like New Texas Giant or like Voyage!

  • The Son of Beast was so boring when I rode it! I didn't feel the remotest thrill on it. Not even when it went upside down. Somersaults are more thrilling.

  • @elteescat It's impossible to do a somersault on a roller coaster.../

  • @lunchboxdell234 lol I meant doing somersaults on the front LAWN of my HOUSE are more thrilling than Son of Beast. hahahhaha

  • @elteescat Ooooohh ahahahahaha

  • @elteescat *insert 'I LIED!' face here*

  • @TeamApparition nope. I really thought it was boring! I wasn't impressed at all. honestly!

  • kings island is cursed ever since they sold out to paramount and now cedar fair. the curse continues.

  • @deadline27 cedar fair messed everything up! and ppl with health problems shouldnt ride rides, even cedar point there are accidents!

  • @deadline27 so ture

  • @deadline27 Just Cedar Fair.

  • and that one lady that said a blood vessel popped in her brain without a doubt had problems before she rode it. there are HUGE signs right before the line and during the ride that clearly state "RIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK." "DO NOT RIDE IF YOU HAVE ANY PRIOR HEALTH PROBLEMS." these dumb cunts have to ruin it for everyone! ive been riding the son of beast for years on end.

  • @zedGENOCIDER The medical issues weren't the only thing that closed the coasters. Although, how could someone KNOW that they were going to pop a blood vessel? You can't PREDICT those things. You have to watch for KNOWN health problems. And, it had been having technical problems for a while now. (:

  • @zedGENOCIDER You can pop a blood vessel having no prior symptoms...

  • that black girl is stupid and i am racist lol. but why do such whiney people have to ruin the great rides for everyone else? and so what if you have some aches and pains afterward..it was so good that it hurt! that black girl is stupid and i am racist lol. but why do such whiney people have to ruin the great rides for everyone else? and so what if you have some aches and pains afterward..it was so good that it hurt!

  • that black girl is stupid and i am racist lol. but why do such whiney people have to ruin the great rides for everyone else? and so what if you have some aches and pains afterward..it was so good that it hurt! that black girl is stupid and i am racist lol. but why do such whiney people have to ruin the great rides for everyone else? and so what if you have some aches and pains afterward..it was so good that it hurt!

  • @zedGENOCIDER i agree, if u dont' like these damn rides, dont fucking ride them!

  • no it dosent

  • that black girl is stupid im not racist but what she said about the coaster wasstupid

  • the FIRST helix is the problem the 2 helix is a little bit of the propblem but its basicly the first helix

  • I Was There THAT Day , Me And Myy Bud Was Gonna Be On That Car . But We LEt Two Little Girls Get In Front Of Us . They Died . I Feel Horrible

  • @younqgcashhgetta nobody died dumbass

  • @hoopsnyoyo15 No need for trolling

  • @KevSmithRULES34 no need for stupid comments like that

  • @hoopsnyoyo15 some did die after riding it

  • @H22EJ1Civic no nobody died ... they were injured but they did not die

  • @H22EJ1Civic No.

  • @younqgcashhgetta Lmao. No one dieed ( :

  • They r going to fix it this season and during the off season and make the helixes not to slanted and it should be open for the 2012 season

  • @tectonicskating Proof?

  • @TeamApparition i have looked up ALOT of stuff about it but thats what many people say that and i can hear like tools and stuff and i saw a couple workers around the first helix at the top of the hill on Flight Deck

  • @tectonicskating 99.9% of everything you will hear is rumors started by random people who heard something from their friend who heard it from their cousin who heard it from the hooker they slept with the night before.

  • @TeamApparition Im going to ask someone tomorrow at kings island what they r gonna do to it or if it will open next year i will try to get it on video

  • @tectonicskating No one who works at the park knows anything. Reason for that is CF hasn't decided what to do with it yet, and even then, they don't even tell employees. Only a few people will know about the plans before they are publicly announced.

  • @tectonicskating Nope, sorry. The plans are to tear it down. It's not even on the map anymore, or on the park's website. )

  • @tectonicskating yes i heard that too! there are ppl walking the tracks, testing the weaknesses and stuff..... going to rebuild the wood

  • @myredrose1974 have u seen stuff or how u hear it

  • Son of Beast is still closed! I've been to Kings Island a couple of days ago and it was still closed.

  • @Celtsthebest1 NAR.

  • go to Cedar Point instead!!

  • @jeffs1000 lets face it, its more organized and not kid themed. i still love both. but only beast, son of beast, firehawk and diamond back appeal to me.

  • i remember when this happened...i was like sucks for them ill still ride it.

  • why did they remove the loop? It had nothing to do with the accident!

  • is it open right now!

  • @teddybear4422 yes!

  • @SuperNaomi29 why

  • @SuperNaomi29 i think they had a reack

  • @teddybear4422 No, it's not, and hasn't been for a very long time. :'(

  • @CoolioJoe100 thats sucks

  • @teddybear4422 Yeah, although, their are rumors that it's going to get the same treatment as The Texas Giant did, and that would be amazing! Nothing is confirmed, though.

  • @CoolioJoe100 is the beast open

  • @teddybear4422 As far as I know, yes.

  • I was the ride op supervisor when this happened, and I wasn't surprised. What was really surprising is that this didn't happen sooner.

  • @pichurap21 lol definatley.

  • I really hate to see this ride go.it was the first looping roller coaster I had rid.the ride is in my opinion legendary.but hopefully they replace it with a bigger and badder ride!!!

  • its a wooden rollercoater so it was bound to happen someday and wood is unsafe for a high speed coaster jeez ur just luky the whole car didnt fly off or the ride topple down i never rode it but i will never ride this

  • I don't get it, WY THE FUK DO THEY PUT A FUKIN LOOP IF ITS A WOODEN COSTER AND ONLY STEAL ROLLERCOSTER ARE SOPOST TO HAVE LOOPS, CORCSCRWS AND MORE LOPING THINGS!!!!!!!!!! good thing i wasint ther. wooo

  • @andrew99campa8 not a upside down loop i dont think, just a horizontal loop maybe? but then again i never rode the ride before though so i cant really say for sure.

    sad to see it go :(

  • @andrew99campa8 - Would be nice if you grasped the concept of proper grammar and spelling.

  • @pichurap21 This season or the 2012 season?

  • Did anybody else notice at the beginning of the video it showed the beast and not the son of beast?

  • i wish i could have ridden it, it looks so much fun.. if you dont want to get hurt just dont go on it, you dont have to ruin it for everyone else

  • Someone mentioned on another video that the loop was removed in order to use lighter trains? I am thinking of going back this year. I wish KI would not have spent the money on that damn sky fly thingy they have this season and fix of the son of beast with it. Truly the ride is no less then awe striking and amazing. Favorite ride of my life. JEEZ! That is how you know its a good wooden ride...when its rough. Brown Chicken Brown Beast Bwahahahaha!

  • I can remember riding it the first time and loving it but riding it around the time of these other people and my husband and I got off and felt like our brain was lose. It hurt so bad. Was nothing like the first time we rode it. We said we would never ride it again. We ride all the other coasters without any problems.

  • I road it once, it ruined the rest of my trip because my neck hurt so bad...

  • This is a horrible ride... i rode it once and honestly thought I was going to die before I got off of it and I have ridden some of the biggest baddest coasters around and this is the only one that I was couldnt wait to get off of.....

  • I'm a coaster enthusiast but totally agree this ride is very uncomfortable. I always used to take a couple of advil within an hour before riding it.

  • seriously? because of neck and back pains?? thats GAYYY!! all roller coasters jerk you around and make your head hurt!! lol

  • @PinkNation44 so agree!

  • lmao oh yeah the son of beast gave me neck pain but the beast was a walk in the park. FUCK THE HELL OFF. are u kidding me????? NECK PAIN?????? Its a god damn roller coaster THEY ALL FUCKING CAUSE NECK PAIN. YOUR GOING 70 MPH PULLING 8 GS WTF DO YOU THINK IS GOING TO HAPPEN????? re open the ride its been FIVE years already and the son of beast is not THAT much different from THE BEAST. if you want the son of beast back,LIKE THIS POST!!!

  • @alecfederov91 1- Not all roller coasters, even 70mph ones, cause neck pain. There are plenty enjoyable coasters (including wooden ones) that go fast yet aren't unnecessarily painful. 2- 8 g's? Ha. It's rare for a coaster to even pull 5 g's. 3- Five years? It closed in 2009 and hasn't even been 2 years since then. 4- That much different than The Beast? That's like comparing getting snapped by a rubber band and punched in the face...

  • they said weeks.....IT HAS BEEN CLOSED FOR YEARS. xDDD

  • My family was going to go to kings island on that day and my sisters planned to ride that ride but my dad said to wait 4 next week and we found out that happened o.0

  • Weldon "Buck" Shaffer was retarded before he even rode SOB

  • @RammaThorne20 ikr!! lyke seriouslyy tho, BUCK?!?! smh! hahaha, lol.

  • I was there the day that happened, we had just rode it about 10 minutes before they shut it down, we were one of the last people to ever ride it with the loop, it kicked our asses! Migraine headache for the rest of the night lol! It's still an awesome ride though and sorry to see the loop go, if they would have just fixed it I would have rode it again and again.

  • if one of them would've died, Kings Island would've been FUUUUCKED.

  • They are tearing it down :(

  • @Danieltcb12 No they aren't.

  • I got to ride this when it still had the loop in it. I loved it!

  • @ToontownFreak14 Because they had to get new lighter trains to put less stress on the supports. These lighter trains couldn't complete the loop, so the loop had to be removed.

  • I've never gotten hurt on this ride. But it really depends where you sit. I ALWAYS sit in the front seat. It doesn't jar you around half as much that way. But I love this ride and Cedar Fair is dragging their feet about what to do w/ it. They need fix it. It's a good ride.

  • I went on it after they had removed the loop and still had bad neck pain and a headache for the rest of the day, in the end i was glad i rode it, one of the best and worst rides in my life, LOL, but would do it all over again. Had a stiff neck for about a week but no serious injury. I hear they shut it down for good now... bummer, i loved tht thing :(

  • why did they remove the loop if the probem was in the helix area?

  • @TJJ123456789 Because they got new lighter trains (Would put less stress on supports), but they couldn't complete the loop, so the loop had to removed.

  • @TeamApparition oh right cheers (:

  • @TJJ123456789 Because the stress on the track was to much for the weight of the trains. The only way to cut the stress down was to lighting the trains. Which would not have enough energy to make the loop.

  • my mom wentm on that and she said her neck hurt and we had 2 go home early >:( stupid kings island builders >:(

  • They ruined a great ride.
