Son of Beast

Home     Rides/Attractions     Son Of Beast Pictures

    Son Of Beast is seems like a classic wooden coaster at first glance, large hill, lots of speed, and plenty of noise, but unless you know about it you can't tell what is so special about it, other than it's height.  Hidden from view on approach to the ride Son Of Beast is the only wooden roller coaster with a vertical loop.  This coaster is the fastest and tallest wooden roller coaster on the planet.  It is also the second longest wooden roller coaster, shorter only than it's namesake, The Beast.  It is an impressive sight to see and even better to ride.
