The Son of Beast Roller Coaster at Paramount's Kings Island, Kings Mills, Ohio

Here's the wicked drop into the helix!  It's a little rough at the bottom but that's pretty much it for the roughness on Son of Beast.

Even at the top of the helix the intensity does not let down one inch!  You fly over the top and down for another mind-bendingly fast drop!

Here's a nice shot of the drop into the second loop of the helix.  After going up the other side of the helix you hit the mid course brakes before the loop.

Out of the block brake there's some nice airtime in the back!  Also you barely feel the brakes on at all and it feels like you get kicked over this hill.

Here's the revolutionary loop on Son of Beast.    Basically the loop has a steel structure with the wood tracks bolted to it.
