News: Kings Island loses $20 million Son of Beast case

Posted at 4:04 PM EDT (2004 GMT)

Mar. 27th, 2008 -- An appeals court has ruled an insurance company for the defunct Roller Coaster Corporation of America does not have to pay Kings Island $20 million. The ruling stems from a 2005 case over an accident on Son of Beast.

Kings Island sought the money from Admiral Insurance since RCCA had went out of business. RCCA's commercial liability policy did not include "coverage for harm to the project itself".

It is unknown whether Kings Island will try to appeal the ruling to the Ohio Supreme Court.
