Here's the question of debate-Son Of Beast: Big Thrill or Big Disappointment? and WHY?
<BR>
<BR>My vote goes to Big Disappointment. Way too rough, especially in the back. I enjoy a bumpy ride, but being beat over the head with a bat is another thing. Not to mention no air time, and it doesn't maintain it's speed verywell at all. I couple times I had to wonder if the train was even going to make it up the next hill. This ride had great potential, and blew it.

I didnt think it was THAT bad, but it was disappointing in some aspects. I actually enjoyed the roughness, it added to the intensity. However the roughness is definitaly not consistent. The track is smmoth for about 100 feet then you hit a huge bump, and so on.

I think it is great, I like it. The roughness doesn't bother me much.
<BR>
<BR>But I think the loop is redundant.

I loved SOB. Yeah, it's rough in the back but it's extremely smooth for a woodie in the front. The overall size is what makes it so good. The huge double helix is quite possibly the best part of the ride.

<BR>I think you wanted another word there. If there is only one loop, how can it be redundant?

BIG THRILL!!!!! This is one of the most intense and exciting coasters I have ever ridden. It IS a bit painful in the back seat, but still a thrilling ride-huge drops, 2 big helices, a loop-what more could you ask for-this is the ultimate woodie experience along with Beast-I think PKI is America's best Woodie park.

Big thrill! One of my favorite coasters of all time. Since SOB was giving unstable rides, some people got rough rides, some people got smooth as silk rides. I was one of the few (it seems) to get a smooth ride and I loved it!

<BR>I think he was saying that it was gay that they have a loop just to have a loop on a woodie. It's just like any other loop and not needed. It doesn't add anything to the coaster except for the title.

Ok, now I see. I actually like the loop. I agree it wasn't really neccessary though. They only did it for the title of having the world's only looping coaster.

Big Thrill, I loved the loop and first drop.
<BR>Not to mention I don't mind roughness, its as rough as a woodie is supposed to be.
