<Tr> <Td_colspan="2"> Son of Beast at RCDB Pictures of Son of Beast at RCDB </Td> </Tr> <P> Son of Beast was a record - breaking wooden roller coaster located at Kings Island in Mason, Ohio . Built and designed by the now defunct Roller Coaster Corporation of America, it opened to the public on May 26, 2000, and was themed as a sequel to one of the park's other signature attractions, The 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 (65 m) drop and was the second wooden coaster to feature an inversion; Flip Flap Railway was the first, but was long defunct before the ride's opening . </P> <P> Son of Beast is also known for two major, non-fatal accidents . In 2006, damage to the track caused one of the trains to stop abruptly . Another setback occurred in 2009, when a woman claimed to have suffered a head injury . The ride was closed indefinitely, with the only reference of its existence appearing on a tombstone outside the new Banshee coaster (showing a simple logo of the ride and the dates 2000 - 2009). On July 27, 2012, the closure was made permanent, as Kings Island announced that the roller coaster would be dismantled and removed from the park . </P> <P> The Roller Coaster Corporation of America discussed the idea of a building the world's first wooden hypercoaster with Kings Island in 1997 . The park announced plans to build Son of Beast on May 11, 1999 . As part of a marketing campaign for the ride before its debut, a box was placed next to a footpath in the park . Beastly growling and snarling noises came from inside the box as it shook violently . During the announcement, the box was revealed to the audience along with a model of the roller coaster and a list of seven world records that would be broken when it came into operation . The sign at the ride's entrance featured a large wooden box covered with chains, rope, and metal straps . The front was ripped open with the name "Son of Beast" centered inside the box . Problems plagued the ride from the start and as a result, Paramount Parks, the park's then - owner, fired RCCA before construction was completed . The park had to make several design corrections during Son of Beast's initial year . </P>
