1. The Beast at Kings Island is also my favorite

Have you ridden the Son of the Beast there? Its a wooden coaster with a loop! Also not bad
My two others that I love are

Volcano at Kings Dominon, VA

Superman Ride of Steel at Six Flags, Largo Maryland

2. They took the loop out of Son of Beast....I guess it was causing too much mechanical trouble.

i thought it was closed permanently.

they've had deaths, 3 of which were due to pre-existing medical conditions.

6. Wow. Did not know that.

Obviously its been awhile since I was there. I think the last time was in 2004 or 2005 I think.

8. yeah, Son oF Beast was an awesome ride. loved it, but it hasn't been running for a long time.

i moved back to Cincinnati from Phoenix a couple of years ago. i was gone for 3 yrs. when i got back it was closed. happened some time between 06-08.

5. I love Superman at that Six Flags

However, that's really the only reason to visit that park. I found it very underwhelming considering the price you pay to get in.

7. I think the rest of the coasters there are okay

But I can't take coasters the way I used to. When I went there a couple of years ago, I was sore by the end of the day from them. Oh plus I ended up sitting with my feet dangling in the air off the Mind Eraser which got stuck coming down to the end for 40 minutes or so. So not a good experience. But the Superman coaster is such a smooth ride and it makes you feel like you are flying...

13. Goliath at SFMM

Goliath is a steel hypercoaster made by Giovanola of Switzerland. During a brief period from its opening on February 11 to May 13, 2000, Goliath's 255-foot opening drop was recognized as the longest and fastest (85 mph) on a closed-circuit roller coaster in the world. And because it has no inverted elements, the only restraint is a lap bar!
