If you look at that photo you will see a vertical loop! Yes, the first and only wooden coaster with a loop. However, in 2006 the ride suffered some problmes which 'may' have been caused by the loop coupled with heavy trains. The coaster closed in mid 2006 and the loop was removed and lighter trains were added. It repopend in mid-2007.   As with it's father, you can expect a frantic ride that doesn't know when to quit (apart from the brake run, obviously!).

Son of Beast is currently "Standing but not operating" with a very uncertain future.
