It is one of my favorite coasters in my opinion. It's fun and has crazy twists and turns.

No not at all, I wouldnt put someone i hate on that ride, it is by far the worst wooden coaster i have been on. Not only is it painful, it is also boring, and very uneventful (besides the constant bashing of your entire upper body)

It was last year.

It does hurt a bit, but the only part that I dislike about the coaster is that the first chain is extremely loud.

But that is your opinion and you should keep that opinion until you want to switch it, which will probably be never.

That lift is annoying as hell! Nothing like being deaf and beaten

Yeah, this one time when I went on it I shouted and it sounded like i was whispering!

Signing Out!

Yes it is one of my favorite coasaters

One of my favorites. Used to be my favorite til' Diamondback.

I enjoy it very much

Not even close. I prefer shoulder harness FoF to SoB.

It's not my favorite, but I like it.

The sense of speed is unbelievable.

In response to topic title: no.

It's not my favorite but I do like it.

It's top on my list of coasters the world would be better without.

ZOMG! No way!

I SoB were sacrificed to make room for a B&M dive machine then I may start to love it.

Nope, Flight Deck is!

It does hurt a bit, but the only part that I dislike about the coaster is that the first chain is extremely loud...

And how loud is the second chain?

Terpy, who just HAD to

No. It's a ride I wouldn't wish upon my enemies.

But would you wish your enemies upon the ride?

Terpy, who had visions of Son of Beast atop your enemies...

I dislike that ride from start to finish. The chain lift is way too loud- you would think the ride used Morgan trains. The first drop is fun, but it all goes downhill from there (Terpy, NO.). From the bottom of the first drop through the rest of the ride, my spine gets beaten and beaten until I really wish that I just hadn't ridden. It's the only coaster where I ever even considered disembarking from the train before it arrived in the station! And, it sits at #73 on the list of coasters I've ridden, sorted from best to worst. How many coasters have I ridden? 73.

It's top on my list of coasters the world would be better without.

Most of the people here like the Son of Beast, and not hate it. I hope it does not get closed for good.

It's even worse than Mean Streak, which people have wanted to tear down for years. Guess what? Mean Streak is actually enjoyable this year, I even rode it twice in a row!

I guess you dont really like alot of woodies huh?

Actually, I love most of the woodies I've been on. I don't mind them being rough, but when they actually inflict pain, I don't see any reason to ride them. I don't touch a hot burner on the stove because it hurts. I don't stick my fingers in the electrical sockets because it hurts. I don't stab myself with a knife because it hurts. Why would I ride SoB if it hurts?

Uh. I don't know but, this year when i went on mean streak it felt like it was going to fall off of the track.

I could take it or leave it. I liked it better when it was much more capacious and had a loop.

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.

Son of Beast goes 78 Mph with over 4 banks and was the first looping woodie ever to be built.

They removed the loop because of serious injuries such as, head injuries, spine injuries, and neck injuries.

Without the loop the coaster is ALOT safer. So no one talk about the coaster being able to hurt you really badly in the future.
