Even with the trims it is probably one of the most insane coasters I have ever ridden.

This ride is awesome i love it.
and the people who dont like it are the ones who have only been on rides that are steel and newer rides. this ride was the biggest thing in 1979.

This is definately one of the best wooden roller coaster out thier, thier so muhc I love about it. First off its a classic and the worlds longest wooden classic, not many other can top this. Its extremely fun and it doesnt offer you a short boring ride, but rather a long fast breathtaking ride. I love this ride and I hope it continue to live on and be the Beast that it is.

Beast sucks as a ride... But i had fun on it at night (mainly because of the group on my train).
