No kidding? I didn't know that the ride closed soon after we rode it.
Regarding the earlier comments below, my saying it was "smooth" referred to just the lift hill and the small dip before the first drop. However, notice what I say at the 1:42 mark and afterwards! Yes, it's indeed rough, very rough in spots. I (photographer) am 68 and my son is 39; we both agreed later that the original Beast was better, and it's still one of our top 10 after having ridden about 140 coasters so far.
I feel bad for the guy in the video saying "its smooth" This is one of the worst coasters on the planet! It shakes more than a bowl of jello in my washing machine! I do hope that they will consider doing something with this ride such as either re-tracking it or tearing it down and putting up a better designed one. It used to be in the top 10 for great coasters but unfortunately the heavy usage and constant changes has set this one out to pasture. Thanks 4 the video, it was shot well,
ha i love how u say its very smooth ride lol and i love this ride but it sucksthat they probably wont keep this ride since they have had to close it twice already cuz of injurys but i still love to ride the beast
As of this morning Son Of Beast has been deemed unsafe by Ohio state officials. Cedar Fair has yet to confirm reports of whether or not the ride will stay.
i think it's wrong for the son to die before its father.
