The Beast is a coaster that I think the layout doesn't matter. It's like it's taking you on an adventure! Not to mention the insanity of that final helix.
Excited this June to ride it
Before I became an enthusiast my friends and I would always end up with enthusiasts beside us in line. We would hype up the beast night ride as the best thing in the park. When we got off the normal reaction from them was yeah didn’t believe you but you were right.
The Beast is still the flagship attraction at Kings Island.
Kings Island is my home park and you are so right about how hype we locals get in the que at night! Me and my friends do it as often as we can when we go we once had this amazing conversation with a woman who had grown up going to KI and her Son she told us so many amazing stories. The Ride ops especially get hype at night! Also they still stop the coaster before fireworks but you can get in line till 11.
The park closes at 10pm now
Congratulations on making one of the best reviews of all the time. Kudos pal
mostly coasters love the beast 🐻 !
I remember back when it first opened, the line made it half way down International Street. And the switch backs were still the same today, except I believe 1 area of switch backs were removed. Plus, the loading area, the first turn to the lift hill, and almost to the lift hill were on a shallow pond. The loading station did have a water feature like it was a mill. The pond was drained when Vortex was built.
My first night ride was on a hot day that had a late day rain pass through. It cooled everything down for the night. But, on The Beast, that first tunnel hit you with a wall of damp coolness. I was lucky enough to ride it back in the day with buzz bars and a lot less trim brakes. Although I don’t have many coaster credits, that night ride has been the most memorable ride of any coaster I have ridden. And when I was young, the night ride thing wasn’t known as a big deal. I think coaster enthusiasts before social media knew and talked about it and it grown from there.
The long straight section before the second tunnel used to be a lot less trimmed a long time ago. You used to really haul through the tunnel all the way to the second chain lift. It seemed like it would run almost halfway up the hill before the chain would catch.
As for the wait for the fireworks, that has been going on for a while. I don’t think that policy will change. And the drones stage at the Vortex plot. I assume that will have to change at some point.
I’m glad your very first ride was a night. Not too many start off that way, but that may be the best way to do it. And yes, row 17 is the magic seat.
And…. Mostly Coasters LOVES The Beast❤
Great video and great review! Mostly Coasters loves The Beast!
Love it or hate it but nothing will beat this monstrosity in my honest opinion… Night rides are phenomenal and day time rides are just fine by any standards
That’s strange I always get in line at 9:59 they always let me I was an operator on the beast so unless it’s a new rule that shouldn’t be the case but the beast is halted due to concerns that the debris from the fireworks could land in the beast and catch fire with ride grease.
I still need a night ride on this. I got unlucky and they wouldn't let us on due to fireworks.
I didn't care for it too much but still was an interesting unique I want to get on again but at night.
Mostly Coasters loves The Beast!
I've never experienced any airtime on Beast. It's not profiled for it and the excessive braking kills any chance of it ever happening. If you happen to get a brakeless ride, you may think you feel a little but Beast wasn't about airtime. It's about speed and power mostly and being isolated in the woods away from the park. It's actually more of a wooden runaway mine train on steroids than anything.
Mostly coasters loves the beast...
Great review as always, excellent production quality 👍
I still dont understand why the park closes The Beast during fireworks. If I'm not mistaken, the fireworks launch next to Orion's speed Hill.. and although that is near the shed on The Beast... I 100% rode Firehawk during fireworks which. feels just as close.. And with less certainty.. I think during Paramount days we rode during the fireworks.. I recall barely getting in line 3 minutes before a 10pm close as a kid... But there wasn't a wait for fireworks.. maybe nightly fireworks weren't always a thing lol
Maybe that 2nd drop on The Beast isnt as protected from the fireworks as I percieve.
I think there is a possibility of fireworks embers to float towards The Beast north section. The wind could flow to the southeast. They must have had a close call at some point.
@@pipepicasso8112 yes I bet you're right. Probably had an incident or almost had an incident
I got a night ride at close on pass holder preview night last week. Always legendary.
I thought my eardrums would when I was in the sheds
Great video!
this thing kinda hurt in the second to last row but I loved it lmao would recommend it at least once !!
@mostlycoasters loves the baaast
9:21 Made the mistake on sitting to the left being 5'11! Hit my hand on the roof!!
I love beast
I went on it yesterday and it beat me up
It’s always a rough ride no matter what people say it’s not an enjoyable ride anymore
The magnetic trims have completely killed the ride. It used to hit 65mph with the skid brakes, now it only manages 57mph.
As a former op on the beast this is false it still reaches a top speed of 65 depending on weather conditions such as temperatures humidity moisture etc. but EVERY coasters top speed is affected by those factors also if your claim was you can tell such a big difference off of only 8 MPH I’m sorry such a minor change could ruin one of the worlds greatest coasters
@@Theplancopro lol not false. Were you even born when the magnetic trim was added to the first drop? If you were a ride op then I saw the same numbers as you but the actual year they made the change
@@frankeewagner I don’t need to argue with you my age isn’t any of your concern I’ve ridden the beast my entire life I’ve studied engineering in college to work on coasters the beast still hits 65MPH you can choose to believe that or not I personally dont care
@@Theplancopro you weren’t a ride op when the magnetic trim was added. I saw the data, I’m talking the average, each train is different
It always had trims. When it opened in 1979, it had trims. The magnetic trims do the exact same thing as the skid brakes did, but over less distance. They're all in the same place as the originals.
