<p>In 2017, the Kings Island Vortex roller coaster celebrated it&#8217;s 30th anniversary at the park. Kristoper Werner, a graphic design artist, set out to create an <a href="http://kristopherwernerdesigns.com/product/vortex/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">original Vortex artwork</a> celebrating the attractions history in a realistic style. </p>
<p>The Racer, opened in 1972, remains an iconic symbol at Kings Island for its racing, classic out-and-back woodie design. The blue side received a complete retracking on the turnaround this winter in preparation for the 2019 season. Kris Werner Designs created a special <a href="http://kristopherwernerdesigns.com/product/the-racers/?attribute_pa_poster=16-x-20" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Racer print</a> in 2018 to commemorate the attraction.</p>
<p>Now for 2019, the third print has been released paying tribute to move loved historic roller coaster that is no longer at Kings Island, Son of Beast. </p>

<p>Son of Beast operated at Kings Island from 2000 through June 2009. After the Son of Beast introduction, the wooden roller coaster set many world records including the following.</p>
<p>The seven world records held at its introduction were:</p>
<p>&#8211; Tallest wooden roller coaster<br />
&#8211; Longest wooden roller coaster drop<br />
&#8211; Fastest wooden roller coaster<br />
&#8211; Only looping wooden roller coaster (2000–2006)<br />
&#8211; Longest looping roller coaster (2000–2006)<br />
&#8211; Most wooden coaster track at one park (22,612 feet or 6,892 metres)<br />
&#8211; First and only wooden hypercoaster in the world (over 200 feet or 61 metres high)</p>
<p>Remember, back in the 2000&#8217;s, it was almost unheard of to fathom the idea of going upside down on a wooden roller coaster. This was well before the days of Rocky Mountain Construction (RMC) and their steel topper track concept like Steel Vengeance. </p>
<p>The limited edition Son of Beast posters are available for $25 at <a href="http://kristopherwernerdesigns.com/product/son-of-beast-outpost-5-print/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">CoasterPosters.com</a>. </p>
