A landmark in the world of coasters, be sure to ride in the last car for a wild ride. Nothing beats a Beast ride at night!

Coaster Addict

When it comes to wooden coasters , The Beast is the standard by which all others try to be measured! After 35 years, The Beast is unmatched, especially in the dark!

Dannielle Brun

This was my daughter's favorite. Had to ride the historic wooden coaster . And I have to say, it was amazing. Speeds were amazing for wooden.

Coaster Addict

The Beast opened on April 14, 1979 as the tallest, fastest, and longest wooden roller coaster in the world - today, it remains the longest wooden coaster and a standard for all others to meet!

Sam Unell

This coaster is without a doubt one of he greatest thrills in the country . Ride it at night for an even creepier, more exciting effect. You will NOT regret it!

When the Beast roller coaster opened in 1979, the trains had four benches per car and were yellow. The following year, the trains were modified to the current three bench cars and painted red.

For The Beast's 35th anniversary, and the release of X-Men: Days of Future Past, Kelsey Grammer is welcoming people to the ride all season IN FULL MAKEUP!!! Such a treat!

The best wooden roller coaster in the entire world.

Andy

Rain or shine, hot or cold, windy or calm , this is the BEST ride in the park ! Ride in all weather conditions, it's different every time!

Dan Mejak

The Beast gets closed 15 minutes before the fireworks starts. If you're in line , you'll still get your ride in.

Dean DuBose

You have enough time to smoke a joint on this ride. Light it up as soon as you leave the station. Sit in the back, no one will smell what you are doing

Dave Counotte

This is the world biggest wooden roller coaster . It's awesome with two huge drops and incredible speeds.

ᴡ Wollam

Bangs you up. Keep loose if you want to avoid a beating.

Matt Brown

If you want to ride the back, do it early in the season after they have done some repairs to it or else you'll get some whip lash.

Rickety wooden coaster , but still tons of fun. Sit near the front!

The three ways you need to ride The Beast: very front seat , very back seat, and at night. It's magical at night!

Rachel R

If you get in line before the fireworks , you can watch them from the line and still get to ride after the other rides are shut down. its only down about 20 minutes.

Dan Mejak

Don't be in line for The Beast when the fireworks start...you'll miss the show!

Sarah

This ride was awesome, but super bumpy. Almost instant headache! I loved it anyway.

Lori M

Although Diamondback is awesome.. the Beast is by far the best ride in town ! Arms up!!!

Coaster Addict

Long considered the standard for wooden coasters , especially those longer, classic woodies!

Brian Reid

One of the world's premier all-wooden roller coasters . This one should definitely be on your short list!

Veronica Shaw

The beast in the dark is the best time you will have its way better then day!

Chris Hunt

Riding in the front is the best. Just keep your mouth closed at night. Lol

As with all three-row wooden coaster trains , sit in a middle row and save your back some pain.
