Strange coincidence the guy I went with is a friend from college and told me that his cousin that is crazy about coasters would be in the pasrk the same days we were... Very strange Smile

What's this about someone getting killed on Son of Beast?

I really thought that last summer someone was killed on it. I might be getting it confused with something else, but I know there was a major accident.

I heard the breaks/gears got jamed on the trains. One train was going up the hill when the chain jamed and the other train was coming out of a loop. [picking up major speed] when the wheels jamed or something. Anyway the sudden stop sent everyone's chest right into the lap bar and like killed everyone. I'm thinking they had to make the train's do an emergency stop at the wrong time...oh well...i have no clue.

I have no idea if that's true but that's what i've heard from a family member who saw it on the news.

Yeah, no one was killed on the Son of Beast..........if they did there are certainly no reports on it and VERY good cover up by KI.

They did have an incident where the brakes jammed too hard at the end of the ride and it did give 27 people some non-life threatening injuries.
