Son Of Beast 2011



Son of Beast Update for 2011




Well, here is the question we have all been asking for the last year. “Will the Son of Beast Live again?” Well as of 11/24/2010 Its as stated “Closed Until Further Notice”.

Well….maybe not for 2011!!

According to a anonymous source who attended IAAPA last week they supposedly have heard a conversation take place between someone from Cedar Fair and Rocky Mountain guys about doing some repair work on the Son of Beast in the near future. Which would be a dream come true for us coaster junkie’s who just don’t care that a woman almost died on this monster ride. So take it for what its worth and cross your fingers and hope this source is right and we see Son of Beast back in either late 2011 or early 2012!! Or maybe if were really lucky opening day 2011 but don’t get your hopes up to much for that unless you have a really lucky rabbits foot.



Stay tuned for more updates and check out the Kings Island News App on your Nokia Smart phone every Monday for the Latest updates and throughout the week for some interesting daily articles.

Flight Deck Gets Fresh Paint for 2011



Flight Deck formerly known as Top Gun is undergoing some serious overhaul and should look like a brand new coaster this 2011 season as kings island’s workmen are currently putting a nice primer coat of paint on the 17-year-old ride.


Guests soar over trees and swing almost too close for comfort next to huge metal beams and through a hilly wooden terrain next to the world famous Son of Beast rollercoaster at speeds up to 51 miles per hour on this single track suspended roller coaster beloved by many including myself.

Flight Deck has given over 18,454,073 rides since the ride opened in 1993, which is the 17th-most in the parks entire history. Its record year was in 1993, when the coaster gave over 1,527,492 rides to returning coaster addicts.
