I was originally planning to wait until the RMC update of No Limits 2 to make this, but obviously I eventually ended up changing my mind on that, thanks to numerous artists posting their own visions of what a giga coaster at KI might look like.
This isn't meant to be a prediction, more like something that I think would be cool to add. I doubt Kings Island would actually do this, and I am aware that there's a bandwagon of people predicting a B&M giga. I've already made a B&M giga and I don't really feel like making another one just to account for Firehawk's removal (and also just wanting to be different).
So this is my idea of if KI were to bring back Son of Beast as a ground-up RMC since it was so ahead of its time. Inspired by the (possibly red herring?) teasers about Outpost 5 and taking inspiration from El Toro, Twisted Timbers, and Steel Vengeance, it starts roughly where Firehawk was and after an insane, beyond-vertical 238 ft first drop into a tunnel, it circles around and takes an out-and-back airtime filled romp through that foresty edge of the park, and on the way back riders encounter a vertical loop as an homage to Son of Beast. Like Son of Beast, it's also the tallest, fastest, and second longest wooden coaster, and once again features the most inversions on a wooden roller coaster, this time inverting riders 7 times instead of just once.
Max height: 305 ft (93m)
Min height: 10 ft (3m)
Max speed: 83.5 mph (134 km/h)
Track length w/o storage: 7163 ft (2183.3m)

Decided to make another one of these, this time with inverted trains and more of a focus on coasters that spend all of the time hanging below the track. Had to cheat a little bit just to get the loop timings shown in the video, as the recording somehow throws off the timing unless I start later, hence the cuts.
