kingsislandfan1972 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I'm sure people back then probably thought the SOB was going to be just as good as The Beast, but people slowly realized that their was no comparison and The Beast reigned supreme. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThrillKingsFitzy Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Never rode it but if people say SOB was rougher than The Beast than I would have hated it. For me, it's hard to enjoy The Beast because it's so jarringly rough. I would have not liked SOB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 There's a significant fanbase SOB still has even 9 years post mortem. Some people just prefer forceful and even rough coasters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Son of Beast was extremely rough. One of the few coasters that gave me bruises on my thighs from the vibration and shaking that the ride did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was very rough depending on where the G train restrains hit your thighs. I personally loved that first drop. Still probably my favorite wood coaster drop ever. By the time you got back to the station though you were pretty beat up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOPGUN1993 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 The front row on those G trains ran fairly smooth imo. I would typically always wait for the front row for this reason. It was my favorite ride at the park during this time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Yes, the first drop was amazing. The rest of the ride was just meh. I actually rode Hurricane at Myrtle Beach Pavilion, before it closed, and the trains made their way to Son of Beast. I am glad we got Banshee on the site of Son of Beast. I can`t say that I miss Son of Beast, even with the first drop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
