On June 16, 2009, a woman claimed that she suffered a head injury from riding the Son of Beast. Her visit to the park was on May 31, 2009, but the first Kings Island officials did not hear of the incident until June 16. She said that she suffered from a burst blood vessel in her brain and was put in intensive care. "The first we heard of this was on June 16. Her visit was on May 31 and there's no record of going to first aid for anything here at the park," said Don Helbig, public relations manager for Kings Island. Helbig also said that there have been no other reports of injury on the ride this year. The Son of Beast was shut down as a precaution during the investigation. "At this point it would be inappropriate to speculate on an exact date when the ride may reopen. We're going to do a thorough maintenance review. We're going to work with the state of Ohio on that," said Helbig.[9]
The ride was investigated, and was found that there were no "irregularities" with the ride. However, the ride remains closed for the rest of the 2009 season[10] because park officials have ??????not decided what steps they plan to take concerning the ride,?????? according to an investigation summary released Wednesday July 29th.[11]
Update
Oct 28,2009. Official announcement of the removal of Son of Beast will be made in the next week; per an inside Kings Island representative.

No further information pertaining to the time frame of removal of the coaster was mentioned.
