Rebuild the iconic Son of Beast roller coaster
The Issue
From the moment I first experienced the adrenaline rush of riding a thrilling roller coaster, I was hooked. But no ride ever captured my imagination quite like the legendary "Son of Beast" at Kings Island. The world's first wooden coaster with a loop, it was a ride that dared to push the boundaries of amusement park engineering but unfortunately fell short due to poor execution. Today, with the evolution of technology and expertise, the time is right to rebuild this icon and bring back the excitement it once promised.
Coaster enthusiasts, both young and old, reflect fondly on the exhilarating days of Son of Beast. Many veterans of the original ride share their stories with awe, while a new generation of thrill-seekers longs for the opportunity to experience its raw power. This petition seeks to revive the spirit of Son of Beast, reimagined and safely constructed with the help of Rocky Mountain Construction Company (RMC), which has a proven track record in successfully reinventing classic coasters.
Kings Island, owned by Six Flags Inc, has a golden opportunity to reinstate one of its most ambitious attractions and make it better than ever with new technologies that address previous safety concerns. Not only would the revitalization of Son of Beast bolster Kings Island's reputation as a hub for unique and record-breaking rides, but it could also boost local tourism, benefitting the park and the surrounding community economically.
By partnering with RMC, known for their innovation in coaster design and engineering, the project could see the return of the awe and excitement that Son of Beast once represented. The updated ride would blend nostalgia with modern safety and thrill innovations, promising an unforgettable experience for fans and newcomers alike.
Join us in urging Six Flags Inc to take action and bring back Son of Beast, now safer and more exhilarating than ever. Let's make Kings Island's skyline roar once more. Your voice matters—help us reignite a legacy. Sign this petition and together, we can make this dream a reality!
