The Son Of Beast is of course the
spawn of the famous Beast at Paramount's Kings Island. You know
young ones, they tend to be a little rebellious and of course the son
is too and it has turned wood coasters upside down literally...it's
the first modern wood coaster with a loop. Here's all you can
see from the station to prepare for the ride.
The story behind Son of Beast is
that Sonny has gotten out of his crate and you have to go looking for
him. You are loaded into a perimeter patrol vehicle and are let
loose to track him down.
You've got to love a coaster that
has a 60 foot drop out of the station before reaching the lift.
Like I said earlier Sonny gives
you some nice fun before even getting to the lift. Here's the
first curving drop.
Here's where Sonny dives under some
track before turning into the lift.
