It's funny how diverse the human experience can be, I feel strongly that the efforts to preserve the Mean Streak in the off season have left the ride rougher than it was last season. This isn't to say that I won't ride it. It has a unique way of keeping you elevated throughout the ride, with climb after climb to equal the drops. It is a combination of a big twist and an old school out and back. Big woodies are not for everyone, bottom line. That doesn't mean that they should be torn down. 70 plus miles per hour on a 214 foot drop with gravity as your engine, the Son of Beast is the material embodiment of reckless abandon defined.

The Son of Beast and the Millennium Force are the two coasters that heighten my senses to an overwhelming state. In my opinion the best coasters are ones that for each rider personally produce a different and more intense experience with each ride. The question than becomes, "how awesome can riding this coaster get?" To directly answer the question, to date it is my favorite woodie (and my favorite at King's Island by default) but my favorite is Millennium Force overall.
