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.
