SOB Original Design

Here’s a recreation of the original design of the Son of Beast based on an architecture model that was recently sold at auction.

That looks much better than the built version.  Lots of overbanking.  Do you know why they modified from this design, @gforce1994?

Cost, and the fact that Son of Beast would have been the World’s Tallest, Fastest, and Longest wooden coaster.

For the most part, SOBs entire life predates RMC refurbs.  Had it been retired post-2019, could it have been one h3ll-uv-an RMC remake or would the weight of new steel on an already sub-quality frame have worked?

I notice several differences. Seems they should have stuck with this design, although with the subpar making of this coaster, it likely wouldn't have mattered anyway.

Yeah that double down looks great
