Son of Beast

The loop is very smooth and is one heck of a mind bender!  I mean who expects inversions on a wood coaster...I knew this was coming up but when we went through it my mind said..."What the heck is this!!!  We're on wood not steel!"  Also you've got to love inversions without over the shoulder restraints...put your arms up and enjoy.



When you're finished with the loop the Son of Beast still isn't through with you...there's still a helix and some more track to come.



Sonny likes to twist in and out of itself which makes for some interesting visuals.



Son of Beast ends with the helix and some great hills and dips before hitting the brakes!  I really didn't expect much from Son of Beast because of hearing about it's early roughness but I was more than pleasantly surprised by it's smoothness and intensity!  If you're one of the early riders who didn't like it and if you haven't yet met the spawn of the Beast  get to Ohio and ride

I'd like to thank Jeffery Siebert of Paramount's Kings Island for the back stage tour of Son of Beast and everyone at Kings Island for the great ride
