During this episode we're talking about arguably the most infamous defunct coaster of all time, Son Of Beast. With it's record breaking height, length, speed and large looping inversion, Son Of Beast was supposed to be Kings Island's boundry pushing new coaster to bring in the new millennium. Unfortunately for Kings Island, things did not go as planned. This behemoth of a coaster was plagued with maintenance issues from the very beggining. It also quickly gained a reputation from those brave enough to ride it as being a very rough and uncomfortable experience. Due to these many issues and a series of serious accidents occuring on the ride, Kings Island made the decision to shut down the ride permanently in 2009. Not even ten years after it made its debut. Perhaps this ride was just built ahead of its time. Still, there's no denying that this coaster is legendary for it's boundry pushing stats and inspired innovation.
