Son Of Beast Pictures

Amusement Park Pictures > Kings Island > Roller Coasters > Son Of Beast Pictures

An overview of this massive wooden coaster.

For a short time, Son Of Beast was the only wooden coaster in the world to feature a loop. The loop has since been removed.

A train cresting the 218 foot high lift hill.

Son Of Beast is 218 feet tall with a 214 foot drop - both the highest in the world for a wooden coaster.

Son Of Beast features this huge double helix.

Son Of Beast opened for the 2000 season at Kings Island.

Son Of Beast's loop was 118 feet tall.

Son Of Beast reaches speeds of more than 78 miles per hour.

Son Of Beast...ummm, I got nothing for this photo.

Another look at a train in the vertical loop.

If you look closely at the left of this photo, you'll notice a train making it's way to the lift.
The train in the foreground is nearing the end of it's run.

Another look at the loop.

Son Of Beast's ridiculously huge support structure.

I think this photo gives an idea of just how big the double helix is.

1.65 million board feet of southern yellow pine were used to make Son Of Beast.

The first drop.

Those are some happy riders.

One car was removed from each train between the 2005 and 2006 seasons. Now each train runs 5 cars.

Out of the first drop you climb this hill. Over the other side lies the double helix.

These riders are coming out of the double helix and staring at the loop just ahead.

After the 2006 season the loop was removed due to problems with the ride.
This photo shows work being done to replace the loop with a run of track.

A closer look at the work being done to replace the loop.
