Five is Alive once again!!! in this the 3rd installment of my coaster poster series this time featuring none other than SON OF BEAST. This was a record-breaking Wooden Hypercoaster located at Kings Islandin Mason, Ohio. Built and designed by Roller Coaster Corporation of America. It opened to the public on May 26, 2000, and was themed as a sequel toTHE BEAST. In addition to breaking the world record for speed, SON OF BEAST was the first wooden hypercoaster in the world with a 214-foot drop and was the only looping wooden roller coaster! It held and still holds some pretty astonishing records:
