[Recreation] Son of Beast - Paramount's Kings Island

Complete with Top Gun, Face/Off, Delirium and a custom scripted and textured gyro drop

Wasn't really going for perfect 1:1 realism here, so there are plenty of little stylistic deviations from the original ride that are simply there because I made them that way :) That being said, i tried to make it as accurate as possible for the casual approach i took, and based on the scarce selection of reference photos i was able to track down, i think I did a satisfactory job.

Yes it's running premier LIM trains, yes I considered running 6 seater PTCs, the final verdict for me is that the premier trains just give off better SoB energy, simultaneously encapsulating the aesthetics of the original premier trains as well as the Gerstlauetr trains in the rides loopless years, also the friction configuration on those woodie styles really makes the ride fly fast, so fast in fact that i decided the pacing was inaccurate, which the premier trains fixed. Catch me re-uploading in 6 years with different trains, no loop, and a very /eyeball emoji/ safety history.

The custom Gyro Drop is based on the included scenery object, i modded the script so that the ride follows the programming seen on Drop Tower (formerly Drop Zone) rather than the default gyro drop program, also modded the texture files for an accurate color scheme. If only that pesky cube at the top were a little less complex :/ oh well, i'll probably end up just making one at some point tbh. Considering also re-scripting the included giant frisbee to break down every few hours like the oversensitive pneumatic nightmare of a prototype the real ride is. (Delirium if you're reading this ily and you have more character than maXair)

Top Gun/Flight Deck/The Bat was snagged from a Bat recreation i did the year it came out. Lets just say my track building skillz were a little "batty" at the time.

The Face/off (Invertigo) was snagged from the included shuttle park. Thanks Blll Brandt!
