I have ridden this coaster 33 times total, from 3 or 4 different visits and it is the best wooden coaster I have ever ridden. Haven't been there since '88 or '89. Would love to ride it again some day.
it really isn't. I rode this ride yesterday when I was at KI. It was SOOOO much fun! When you're going up the first hill, I was so scared LOL especially when you go slowly for a minute and look down. But I learned it's really a LOT of fun! The tunnels are rough, though. But they're dark, so you don't really know where you're going! This was my favorite ride I had ridden yesterday! (the racer was fun, too, but) I totally recommend this one! :]
I rode this back in 2005. It was very rough, but I loved it. I even had bruises afterward. I still loved it. It was the longest coaster ride I ever experienced. It was awesome! The Son of Beast was a little too rough. I had a headache afterwards. Didn't like that one.
an interesting fact the brakes on this are the two large wooden looking things in the middle of the track lol of course now they have modern braking systems and if you didnt notice they actually slow you down on both chain lifts as you do down the hill....plus the double helix at the end hurts lol but so worth it!
Yeah, I rode it yesterday. The tunnels were rough, but again, it was TOTALLY WORTH IT! it's SO much fun! And the line was only about 15 minutes long, too! :]
omg that is probably the coolest ride i have ever seen thats more astongishing then anything i have eva seen in my life, wow how long did that take to build jeezuz
Funandonly, you can look at an animation of before they came out or a current POV. Neither coasters burned down. Beast was always loopless, and sun of beast had 1 loop before they took it down because of the extrenuous vertical g-forces. Check the billion other videos around TH-cam before spamming on this one.
1. Top Thrill Dragster 2. Millennium Force 3. The Beast Notice how I have The Beast ranked 3rd on my tpo 3 list even though it's 30yrs old. No coaster built 10yrs ago should be fucking with any coaster today. This ride is very old and is still top ranked in my opinion.Get to K.I if you havent been there El Toro, Balder, Voyage are all children to THE BEAST.......................GREAT RIDE.
There must be more than 1000 feet of brakes throughout the ride. Still a decent coaster but all that braking has really tamed the Beast from it's early days.
yes the ride has gotten pretty jerky at spots but its still a fun ride, and there is some rides worse on ride quality than the beast,(adventure express) things stupid, but the beast will always be on the rough side because its made out of the thing you call wood, the only thing i think that would probably be a little nicer is some nice comfy seats for the weaker people, but i just rode it today and its fun
why doesnt it go this fast anymore?!?!? They put trim brakes all over. its still one of my favorite coasters, but seriously... it used to go way faster.
@jbieberluver10 i just rode it today and its not that rough just ur avrage wooden coster. but i have heard the son of beast is really rough and people complaing of back and neck pain. but now its closed due to to many injuries and the crash it had. they took out the loop. but its still not running yet.
its not bad, son of beast is worse. dont ride it mid day ride it early or late at night. it can be jerky but at most you will get is a slight head ache.
do you guys have any roller coasters that dont go shtraite down because im going to kings island august 28th 2011 and i cant handle straite down roller coasters.
@FunAndOnly You obviously dont. Even if you did work at kings island, you wouldnt be there during the CLOSED SEASON -.- D.u.m.b.a.s.s if it burned down , it would have been on the news, it wasnt.
hey pigboy guess what, everyoen who loves steel coasters doesnt have a taste of the real rides! like the BEast or the Lightning RAcer @ Hershey Park or the Thunderbolt @ Kennywood. kennywood is a park for woddie fans. it only has 1 steel and 3 wood
no its not on this one its on son of beast when i went i dident go on son of beast so take myword dont go on SON OF BEAST! BUT U CAN GO ON THE BEAST!!!
After all these years, The Beast is still probably my favorite coaster of all time.
el toro is one of the best wood coasters. its really smooth and has so much intense air time its gnar
the beast is one ride that is always worth the long wait in line for.
Best wooden roller coaster ever. Always will be!
I have ridden this coaster 33 times total, from 3 or 4 different visits and it is the best wooden coaster I have ever ridden. Haven't been there since '88 or '89. Would love to ride it again some day.
ive been on it thousands of times
In the middle of the day it's pretty much walk on. The Beast is the best... Though it does give you a headache its worth it
Best wooden coaster ever
it really isn't.
I rode this ride yesterday when I was at KI. It was SOOOO much fun!

This was my favorite ride I had ridden yesterday! (the racer was fun, too, but) I totally recommend this one! :]
I've tried both Balder and The Voyage, but of all woodies, "The Beast" is my ultimate favourite.
I think this is truly a wild west themed coaster with a wild west music. What a classic. =)
this ride so rough now.......thats how i like it
I rode this back in 2005. It was very rough, but I loved it. I even had bruises afterward. I still loved it. It was the longest coaster ride I ever experienced. It was awesome! The Son of Beast was a little too rough. I had a headache afterwards. Didn't like that one.
best.coaster.ever
This is the most fun coaster in the park!!! At he top of the hills it tortures you. The signs in the loading area are pretty funny too
that ride is friggn fun!
So glad to have ridden the longest wooden rollercoaster in the world! Go BEAST, my favorite rollercoaster!
an interesting fact the brakes on this are the two large wooden looking things in the middle of the track lol of course now they have modern braking systems and if you didnt notice they actually slow you down on both chain lifts as you do down the hill....plus the double helix at the end hurts lol but so worth it!
On crowded days, like yesterday, the day Robbie Kneivel jumped the coke trucks, it cna be really crowded, but normally, it's only like a 15 min. wait!
wow... wow greatest rollercoster i've ever seen, amazing lenth and amazing speed during the full ride.... nice!!!!
What a rush! And the music is great. The piano comes in just the right moment, and it has this feeling of a great ride through the woods. Love it.
this ride looks awesome!
I bet the line's a couple hours long, though.
it'll probably be worth it!
Yeah, I rode it yesterday.
The tunnels were rough, but again, it was TOTALLY WORTH IT!
it's SO much fun!
And the line was only about 15 minutes long, too! :]
It Hurts In The Helixes Man I Was Black and Blue All Over After I Rode That Twice In A Row
That 2nd Lift hill you are just bookin it
cool!
if the ride is as fun as it looks, then that's more time to ride it, then! :]
Ahh...the days when the Beast didn't have magnetic brakes.
That music makes me think I'm riding the bed from Disneys "Bedknobs and Broomsticks"
She's 30 this year. Still a great ride.
I love this ride.
This music is 1977 as hell.
omg that is probably the coolest ride i have ever seen thats more astongishing then anything i have eva seen in my life, wow how long did that take to build jeezuz
long ride!
I really Like Your Video
3:17 is the best part of the ride:D
I love the beast
I love the sound track
cool sound track
i have never actually been on it before cuz the lines r always too long, but i really wanna go on it, but i also hear thats it's really rough

this is a great coaster but it needs more airtime!
3:15 Those tunnels scare the shit out of me every time.
no the whole ride diamondback is smooth. the beast is a classic wooden coaster not brain damage bumpy but a little rough
1. Top Thrill Dragster
2. Millennium Force
3. The Beast
Notice how I have The Beast ranked 3rd on my tpo 3 list even though it's 30yrs old. No coaster built 10yrs ago should be fucking with any coaster today. This ride is very old and is still top ranked in my opinion.Get to K.I if you havent been there
El Toro, Balder, Voyage are all children to THE BEAST.......................GREAT RIDE.
this is the longes and fastest wooden rollercaster in the world!
There must be more than 1000 feet of brakes throughout the ride. Still a decent coaster but all that braking has really tamed the Beast from it's early days.
long ride as far as coasters go
normally i don;t like when music is dubbed over a coaster POV but in this case it really worked
they should have named this coaster tree killer. :)
That's a long ride
they named this ride after me.
I love when the song goes into Loveboat mode at 1:37.
Edit from 2020. Do you kids even remember Loveboat? Christ I’m old!
totally!
it's so much fun! :]
wow this is the old old video before thy put the flat steps on the whole ride
it didnt hurt! its awesome at night
No, I've never been to Cedar Fair.
Is it better/more fun?
yes the ride has gotten pretty jerky at spots but its still a fun ride, and there is some rides worse on ride quality than the beast,(adventure express) things stupid, but the beast will always be on the rough side because its made out of the thing you call wood, the only thing i think that would probably be a little nicer is some nice comfy seats for the weaker people, but i just rode it today and its fun
wooden coasters are the best man i love the way they creek when your on them and were is Kings Island???
why doesnt it go this fast anymore?!?!? They put trim brakes all over. its still one of my favorite coasters, but seriously... it used to go way faster.
This looks so much fun
@bop49 Have you riden Vortex? It's 10x worse in certain spots. Ive ridden the Beast so many times the bumpiness doesnt bother me anymore
@jbieberluver10 i just rode it today and its not that rough just ur avrage wooden coster. but i have heard the son of beast is really rough and people complaing of back and neck pain. but now its closed due to to many injuries and the crash it had. they took out the loop. but its still not running yet.
its at Kings Island in Kings Mill, Ohio
a little blurry but overall a great video and I love the music
my mom's cousin said she's been on this.
@TheLukepetty it is a really bumpy ride
How could they slow it down if it's driven by kinetic energy?
really because ive heard it is really bumpy
@andtheyreoff217 In the first week of october i was there it even had a haunted house in the station its still there >.
i want on when i was nine! my dad went on when he was eight and the grl behind him peed her pants
yeah, but have you ridden it before Cedar Fair, when it actually went full speed?
Now they have trim breaks everywhere!!! Uhh Hate it!(the trims)! But its still my Favorite woodie and always will be!!!
but wooden coasters are so much bumpier than steel coasters......
its well worth the 45 minute ( i dont mean to brag but i mean 5 minute) wait. the sign said its a 45 minute wait but i got on in 5 minutes. lol
the helices in this ride kill you its crazy
Didn't they buy it from Paramount or something?
i agree wit u on el toro being one of the best wooden coasters, but i dont agree with the smooth part cuz that ride is not smooth at all 2 me
@SonicTeamRCT3 my first words were
"I've tamed the beast!"
@FunAndOnly it didn't burn down did it?
what did they shoot this video with? a chocolate bar?
where is this coaster at
man
that is so fuckin fast
I burned the beast
its not bad, son of beast is worse. dont ride it mid day ride it early or late at night. it can be jerky but at most you will get is a slight head ache.
This ride beats the hell out of you!!!!
what is the song & who is it buy???
It's a 30 year old wooden coaster. C'mon. You want smooth ride boring steel.
kings island
