Son of Beast Inspection Complete
KINGS ISLAND, Ohio - The State of Ohio's Department of Agriculture
released today its final report detailing the outcome of the extensive
Son of Beast inspection. The report reaffirms initial indications that
the incident was an unforeseen single event failure.
Kings Island will now focus its energies on the appropriate and
necessary changes needed to reopen the ride in 2007. In addition to
reinforcing the physical structure of the ride, the Park plans to
remove the loop. Taking this extra step enables the use of lighter
trains, which will reduce the load and lead to a more comfortable ride
experience.

to reopening the ride in 2007.
