I'm in love with the Beast. I've only rode 4 wooden roller coasters ever but the Beast is better than many steel roller coasters I've rode. That ride is long, fast, and fun…….ALWAYS!!! I was the last person to ride the ride last decade as I rode closing day; Oct. 31,2010.

I rode the Beast after 30 years of buildup and wondered what all the fuss was about. After being braked to a near stop in the shed run after the first drop, I turned around and asked my friend (who loves the Beast), W##?! He just shrugged…
Without breaks I'm sure its much better, but after a couple of rides I was pretty bored. Too many long, flat straightaways and trim breaks for me.
The Voyage, on the other hand, was by far the most extreme wood coaster I have EVER been on…

Yes it is much, much more intense/more fun in the dark. Riding the Beast at night is my favorite coaster experience. I haven't found anything better, yet. I'm glad you rate it as your #2 wood CC. I'm sick of enthusiasts/experts bash it like robert niles listing it as overrated. It's absolute rubbish and I'm not a homer seeing as how I rode it for the first time in 2008 after I had 100+ credits under my belt. Anyways, thanks for the good Beast review! Much appreciated!

Good to hear from you Judy. You're right, Beast at night was unforgettable! Everyone should experience it at least once.

The Beast is at it's absolute best after dark, especially the last train of the night!
