MASON, Ohio (AP) - An Ohio amusement park says a popular but troubled wooden roller coaster will remain closed for the upcoming season.
Kings Island vice president and general manager Greg Scheid says he's not pleased with how the Son of Beast is performing, nine months after it was shut down when a rider reported she burst a blood vessel in her brain.
Park spokesman Don Helbig says the coaster is structurally safe but officials want to improve the smoothness of the ride.
The Son of Beast was closed for nearly a year of reconstruction in 2006 and 2007 after a structural failure resulted in injuries to more than two dozen people.
