SON OF BEAST TO BE REMOVED
After a lengthy evaluation of all alternatives, Kings Island announced today the decision to remove the Son of Beast roller coaster to make room for future park expansion.
Son of Beast opened with great fanfare in May 2000, and sported a 218' lift hill, 214' first drop and included a 118' tall vertical steel loop. During the 2006/2007 off-season, many changes were made, most notably, the removal of the loop.
The dismantling of the ride, which last operated in 2009, will begin later this summer.
