One of the most infamous roller coasters of all time, Son of Beast broke numerous records when it opened at Paramount's Kings Island in 2000. It also broke a decent number of its riders.
In Episode 9 of Amusement Anthology, hear the story of the coaster that was too ambitious for its time. In a rush to compete with Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom, Kings Island would work with RCCA to create the most relentless wooden coaster in amusement park history. Son of Beast turned its riders in all directions, including upside down. Sadly, poor construction decisions, cut corners, and an unfortunate accident would lead to its downfall.
