This ride was way more smooth after the first incident. I was a rides associate for this ride the last year it was running. I rode it atleast 10 times before they shut it down for the year in the middle of the season.
Your little girl reminds me of my little one!!! with the here we do dad, cause my little one dose that and she is only 3 but.... she loves her kiddie coaster!!! and hands up all the way!!!!
dude you know that people died on this ride right its been shutdown since like 2005 i think and kings island is just going to take it down THAT THING BEATS U UP
@mw2110 its been shut down since '09 and nobody died on it. thats the firehawk, and that was not the rides fault, it was a heart attack. the injury on the son of beat was from an elderly person who wanted to get some money.
@SuperWatersplash no one died on firehawk. A man died after riding son of beast. He was not killed on the ride though. He complained of chest pains after riding. So Son of Beast is viewed as responsible.
everyone totally blew the whole injury thing out of preportion. A couple cases of whiplash and headaches are nothing. Theyre lucky the injuries were not very serious
@nolimetcoaster1993 That was something thats possible ur right but other things siad by The news in an interview they siad its safe they just need to smoothit out and fix the swaying problem
too bad they took the loop out......well......i can deal with that!last time i was at kings island(last year)they were talking to us,we were in our seats,and the guys on the launching mic were like READY TO DIE? o.o
Every day I went to work at KI in 2010 it was sad to see this awesome masterpiece SBNO (Standing But Not Operating). I really hope they make the right decision and retrack it and open it back up. For those of you that had the injuries from this ride, sorry for the pain but come on! You ruined it for the rest of us.
@dudeman0151 This is/was the fastest wooden coaster. Prowler goes 51 miles per hour while Son of Beast goes 78. The fastest coaster in the world is Kingda Ka which goes 128, but a coaster called Formula Rossa is supposed to go 149 when it opens.
And I love how many times you called me a fag. It just makes you look bad because I take no offense to anything anyone says. But I'm not gay. Just sayin'.
wooden rollercoasters are not dangerous son of beast just Is built bad the racers broke down two times and they have been open since kings island opened in 1964 wooden rollercoasters are good just son of beast isent good its bad they need to tear it down

@rockingout1018 Actually, the loop was the greatest part according to most people. They took it out because the new, lighter trains couldn't make it through the loop.
Try and ride a coster that barley seats you in with no doors and gos up 100 feet in the air burst's down SUPER fast then turns around making you think your gonna fall out!!!!!!!!!!!
2 Minutes I still thought Colossos at Heide Park in Soltau, Germany would be the tallest and fastest wooden roller coaster in the world! :D Now I know that SonOfBeast is it ;D
The photo of you from the ride kind of was ruined with your camera visible. I'd suggest that when you go to rides with on ride cameras, you try and look where the camera is, and duck the camera at that point. No offense, just a suggestion on how to get better on ride photos.
I want you to know that your second note "Biggest bonfire," is definately not going to happen. Seriously, the one thing Kings Island could do about the ride would be to bring in Great Coasters International to retrack almost the entire ride, minus the track before the first drop.
Additionally, I've heard of wooden roller coasters that are much worse, and much more hated, than Son of Beast. Psyclone at Six Flags Magic Mountain was one. It had brakes slowing it on every turn. Then there's California's Great America's Grizzly, also ranks low. Son of Beast could rank among the level of Grizzly, but it's iconic. Besides, a 218 foot tall coaster won't come down easily. Of all the hypercoasters I've known, they've never been relocated.
all wooden coaster should get rebuilded like The Texas Giant example Son of Beast And Mean Streak
