KingSlayer | RMC Son of Beast Concept | Raw POV | No Limits 2 | 5-Hours of Power

KingSlayer is my take on the classic RMC conversion of Son of Beast. The template I used was the one from 2022's 5 Hours of Power Contest, where entrants were tasked with making a complete conversion of the iconic Son of Beast coaster in just 5 hours. Now I did not compete in this because you would catch me dead waking up before 8AM to participate in a contest that has largely not been worth it in the past 3 or 4 years, but I actually really enjoyed this one! So in spirit, I (roughly) timed myself doing the layout and made this in about 4.5 hours. Obviously, that does not include the truss, but I don't really care lol.
KingSlayer is a massive Hyper RMC Hybrid Coaster packed to the brim with intense airtime, fast inversions, and extreme pacing! When building this, I really wanted to try to not use the pre-drop section of the old Son of Beast as a pre-drop on this, as I found the other attempts to use it visually ugly and didn't add much to the ride. So now, exiting the first drop, there is a tight overbank turn which sustains some decent positives and sets up the next elements perfectly. I do not remember what possessed me to make the next element an Iron Gwazi-style outerbank, but I'm so happy it worked. The ride hits its top speed exiting this element and overall it would be one of the most intense elements on the ride and is certainly a highlight. With the loss of the giant wooden structure of the first drop, I knew the ride needed something else to make it visually imposing. Riders rocket through a 170ft (52m) tall vertical loop, paying homage to the original Son of Beast without hindering the ride experience. I know RMC has said they do not build vertical loops (because ride centerline cannot design them properly oop) and that they would've put a stall here, but I think a stall would've felt odd on this. I removed both rosebowls as I couldn't figure out any elements to put there that didn't feel forced. The rest of the layout is full of more amazing and unique elements in a mess that pulls from the intensity of Iron Gwazi and Zadra, the length of Steel Vengeance, plus a very high-speed train fly-by at the bottom of the first drop!
My friends say it would be their #1 if it was real but idk lol, there's a chance it could be I guess! Regardless, KingSlayer is a ride I am extremely proud of and one day I hope to give it a more fleshed-out video so you all can see even more this ride has to offer!
I hope you enjoy KingSlayer as much as I enjoyed making it!

Would be interesting to see RMC do a traditional loop. They don't seem to want to do it but here it would be a must.

[@SavageCoasters]

agreed, i was shocked to hear them say they would replace the loop with a stall

[@Itsjustcam365]

@@SavageCoasters if they do do that what would be the point of riding the ride because the loop is the most iconic point of the ride it’s what son of beast is known for that massive loop……so I would be very disappointed if they do change it to a stall instead of having a loop

[@SavageCoasters]

@@Itsjustcam365 it would be quite an odd decision

[@brybryguy6314]

I think what would be cool to see on an RMC and an element that fits the RMC mold would be an Flying Snake Dive element

[@uu9rj]

RMC has said they’re perfectly capable and willing to do a vertical loop, a client just hasn’t asked for one

[@WolfRaging95]

Watching again because this ride has NO business being THIS good!

[@SavageCoasters]

lolll thank you very much!! I really do love this layout

[@WolfRaging95]

@@SavageCoasters you’re welcome 😁 it’s really good lol. I think you did such a good job. 😁

[@AnotherSwissYoutubeUser]

The best SOB RMC concept Period

[@SavageCoasters]

Thank you very much! I'm really proud of the layout

[@jaydonthomas427]

I have not been geninely impressed by a coaster from any game in a while, maybe ever. This is an awesome design.

[@SavageCoasters]

Thank you very much!

[@WolfRaging95]

I really like this creation a lot. Very creative and fun!

[@SavageCoasters]

Thank you!

[@coolminer6242]

Love the train interactions

[@SavageCoasters]

thank you! it would be really cool getting launched outwards towards a train going 70ish mph!

[@dxv3d]

This coaster is unrealistic, it's too good, fun, amazing, beautiful, astonishing, and mind-blowing to be true. 🤨

[@robbiereacts22]

I’ve always wanted to see a vertical loop in a RMC

[@SavageCoasters]

it would be interesting to see how they'd do it!

[@joshuawells4842]

The pre lift and drop off the mid course were excellent. The entire thing was smooth.

[@SavageCoasters]

Thank you!

[@grantwareham946]

This is by far the best "RMC Son of Beast" concept I've seen. Brava!

[@vulpkip2172]

i love this. kingslayer is such a good name for it bc it’s a huge slay

[@SavageCoasters]

LOL

[@barranquillaaviation]

why is this ride better than most other i-box coasters? i mean, i have opinions but this for me is one of the best rmc's designed kings island, now you know what your next coaster should be

[@GuppyFishPants2000]

That would’ve been amazing

[@jesh_]

Great! Love the creativity and smoothness!

[@SavageCoasters]

Thank you!

[@justwhatido6058]

see ghost of beast would be a cool name

[@mysteryman7961]

An RMC Hybrid could make the original layout viable durability wise. I don’t know why it’s never crossed my mind as much as I have wished to experience this ride when it was around.

[@mr_shark69]

I hope they build this!

[@SavageCoasters]

i would dieeeeee if they did that lol

[@nathanrangel4536]

King slayer? More like slay king

lmaooooo ty

find it really cool 😄

[@goodandbadgames2275]

Very great re creation definitely an example of someone making lemonade out of a lemon

[@SavageCoasters]

thank you!

[@ellexking9136]

Just call it Son of Beast Reborn. And just like Arrow Dynamics, Later on through engineering technology they realize that the use of the Lattice Arches over The Inversions weren't necessary. The same thing could be done with some of the Inversion Rolls with the RMC In-box Track. It would definitely give The Coaster a Very Sleek Look. The same like standing under The Carolina Cyclone at Carowinds.

[@MxDeNaglowska]

I love these various Son of Beast concepts, I just wish they used wooden track. The whole point would be the wooden track. Especially since it seems they're setting King's Island up to be the wooden coaster/track capital.

[@tommie010]

slay 💅

yasss ty

[@juels_tophat_shenanigans]

ITS SO GOOD, WHY DID THEY NOT DO THIS INSTEAD OF BANSHEE?????

[@billclinton984]

If this does happen i pray it has a vertical loop. Would be cool, and they could have a worlds first!

[@SavageCoasters]

if onlyyyyyy this was built lol

[@ThemeParkCrazy]

Greetings! May I use this footage in my upcoming video on roller coaster rumors? I will give your channel full credit.

[@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214]

This could break several records.

[@SavageCoasters]

Tallest and fastest hybrid!

[@MrWaffles_YT]

@@SavageCoasters technically you'll be 2nd because I'm already breaking the record but this coaster is still good

Never seen an inverted loop on an RMC Hybrid. Very cool.

[@SavageCoasters]

Thank you!

[@okieg8960]

All the inversions are to the left.

[@Pianissemo]

I really wonder why rmc doesn’t enjoy loops. They need to come up with a structure that can support a loop if they did redesign son of beast

[@Yikes_its_Psychs]

I was hoping this was going to follow the general layout of the original. It wasn't even close.... it didn't really feel like an RMC or like Som Of Beast.

[@austinslater530]

It was literally SOB’s footprint, just minus the two helices. I would miss the helices, to be honest, but RMC doesn’t seem to like them. It’s pretty realistic they’d take them out.

[@SavageCoasters]

what would you have changed to make this feel more rmc or like s.o.b.? this ride follows nearly the rides exact layout lol

[@waveiscursed]

i think they would have thrned it into a giga

[@SavageCoasters]

RMC has said that they currently don't have any Ibox & trains that are capable of going at giga heights and speeds. It would have to have been a Trex, which is nowhere near ready for production yet
