Brennan Ellwood it was definitely a great coaster. I got to ride it the first year it opened then again when they took the loop out. One thing I’ll never forget about it (besides the amazing speed) is you don’t get to see how steep the hill really is unless you rode it. The surrounding trees hid majority of it from viewers. My opinion, if it were still around it would probably be their best wooden coaster. Can’t say overall because Outer Limits (Flight of Fear) is my fave. Long live Son of Beast!

That was a ride with multiple safety and engineering issues. The builder, RollerCoaster corporation of America, was sued to the point of being out of business due to the many issues with SOB. Personally I think the project was seriously underbid, and RCCOA cut way too many corners. The amount of structure problems it had year in and year out was astronomical. I believe I read somewhere the annual upkeep was 2 million dollars. that is a lot of cash to keep a rollercoaster running.

You should actually be happy that it’s gone, because the ride was actually a rough painful mess, mostly because it was built by a piss-poor manufacturer. If it were built by, say, Great Coasters International, Custom Coasters International, Gravity Group, or maybe Intamin (as a prefab Woodie), then it would be a smooth and exciting ride and continue operating today. But it wasn’t. Instead it was built by the Roller Coaster Corporation of America, one of two manufacturers known for building terrible and painful wooden coasters (the other one being the Dinn Corporation). The moment RCCA was chosen to build this ride was the moment it was doomed to fail. In other words, not having the chance to ride this painful mess of a ride is for the better. If you want to ride a super-tall woodie, I’d suggest you’d give El Toro at Six Flags Great Adventure in NJ, or T Express at Everland in South Korea a ride.

MrGamerBoy *Had* a loop. I wish this coaster didn't have too many mechanical problems, looked like it would've been fun. Although it wasn't the first wooden rollercoaster to feature a loop, back in the early 1900- mid 1920's most coasters were wood and designers did put loops on some roller coasters, but the problems were they were perfect circles, loops today are elliptical, and that put too much g-forces on riders which made them uncomfortable. Therefore, the loops on the coasters weren't popular and loops didn't become popular again until the 70's when Magic Mountain built Revolution, the world's first steel vertical looping coaster.

A wooden coaster is yet to do a vertical loop since Son Of Beast and I doubt that R.M.C will ever do a vertical loop on a coaster.
