  • the tunnels are the best part!

  • Awesome ride!

  • still fun though

  • lololololololol this roller coaster is lame as shit

  • i onced timed how long the beast was

  • i love the beast its my fav rid at kings island

  • the beast is best appreciated when ridden at night.

  • Americans. Please. I really like you guys.

    But how can you be so boring?

  • @OzumaRukasu You've clearly never ridden this.

  • The BEAST is the BEST ! (but check your math...more like 1.4 miles long instead of 1 3/4 ). I hope I can make it back to Cincy to ride it again sometime.

  • @RockinRickHale Thanks for your feedback, I realized the discrepancy years ago when I first went to the Kings Island website, which is where I found the info. The description has changed slightly from over two years ago but they still have the same track length data. I will keep it as is until they change it.

  • That looks slow compared to what I've fricking ridden this past year.

  • the vortex drop is higher so your stomach literaly dies under the g force so the drops are the only thing to worry about

  • @1337EK just kidding

  • now u can here this ride growl

  • chai n is 10x slower now

  • i love this ride i want on it for my first time with my best friends sister awesome ride if i could i would go on it every day!

  • The "Best" !!!!!

  • What if it gets infested by termites?

  • i'm going there todaY

  • Lol I remember the first time I rode this, I didn't think it would be that bad because when you look at it in line, its just a straight track, and when we got on the hill, I was like :O Lol awesome ride though :D

  • is this much scarier than the racer at kings island please respond

  • @MW2MORAN its not scary because there really arent any hils..when your sideways after the hill is a little diffrent..but its really bumpy

  • is this coaster smooth?

  • Yeah you better hold on to your balls when that 540 degree tunnel comes around. Shit will jerk you like you're as light as a feather.

  • Riding this at night is a lot better than during the day (there's virtually zero lights along its course.)

  • I got stuck on top of the second hill!

  • this is an extremely fun ride, long too.

  • @TexanBoi96 Will you quit being such a goddamn fanboy on these videos?

  • the beast goes 65 miles in hour

    if you sit in the middle of the car it wont beat you so bad

  • I've rode the Racer, I'm not a fan of big heights like Diamondback, but would I be okay with this if I can do Racer?

  • @clarinetchum this beats yu to death, its alot faster, and ya, just ride it, its super fun.<3

  • the person that disliked you probally never been to kings island. do you like girls in bikines go to boomarangbay

  • just rode this today....ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE RIDIN IN A LONG TIIMEE!!!

  • My neck hurt so much when i went on this ride!!

  • How bumpy is this?

  • @CassieDepp

    pretty bumpy, felt like whiplash at times.

  • Its only fun to ride from the front, but it still doesn't touch diamondback

  • @mjuk05 Of course not, Diamondback is steel...The Beast is wood. Personally, I'd take The Beast over Diamondback anyday. Though both are excellent rides.

  • 1 person can't handle THE BEAST!!!

  • I waited in line for 2 hours to ride this, and when it was my turn, it just had to break down. I waited for another hour and a half to see if it would re open, but it never did. I finally left, but came back later as I saw it moving. I waited another hour before finally just leaving. I later found out that had I stayed in that line just 5 more minutes each time, I could've ridden it. I still have yet to ride it.

  • This ride will kick your ass and you will ask for more.

    The video doesnt do the last part justice. Your going nearly 80 MPH in those tunnels.

  • @Jeremiah2450 this ride does not go 80mph threw those tunnels, but man, you sure as hell feel like you are!!!

  • @Jeremiah2450 It tops out at 65mph. That's still effin' fast! That last part about rattles my head of my shoulders. Feels like it's going straight to hell.

  • I rode this yesterday. The first drop was scary, but i still loved it!

  • Im going to kings island and im going to try to ride it but im kinda scared. peeps out there if you rode the best tell me how was it????

  • @babyangle86 so f***ing fun

    

  • @babyangle86

    This is one of the if not THE best ride at kings island. I am not a huge fan of coasters, but this one is pretty good, give it a try, it's fun not overly scary.

  • @suny123boy1 I agree. It's the fastest wildest ride that is surprisingly not very scary. Just fun

  • Holy fuck that's scary.

  • Love this ride i miss the son of beast tho especially the loop

  • I LOVE The Beast! It does jerk you around some but it doesn't do anything to me, its my fav ride there :)

  • "are you ready for the drop" This aint dubstep! haha

  • 3:09, best part ever

  • Love this coaster

  • The Son of Beast was MUCH worse than this, for giving you a headache!! I could only do that ride once, maybeeeee twice. That's it. Besides, just think of how much Son of Beast cost this company, and it's sitting idled, unused, because it's messed too many people up. They'll be getting rid of it. I'll bet it was a loss....

  • One person is chicken shit!

  • This ride doesn't seem that bad, any people who've rode this before want to tell me what they thought of it? I'm going to Kings Island in a few weeks, and I was planning on riding Beast first. I like roller coasters that don't loop much and are just straight forward fast.

  • @ExperimentalMine Then you definitely have to ride the Diamond Back first. Keep the Beast for last, actually, because it will give you a bad headache.. its a very jerky ride.

    

  • @funwithfriends2000 But other than that, is it fun?

  • @ExperimentalMine ok well the beast is probably the worst ride there just because it jerks the crap outta you,

    it's fun. but it's a rough ride. and vortex and diamond back are the funniest and hardly jerk you at all

  • i screamed so loud i was so scared...and it the ride hurts bad!

  • u can forget disney world cuz when my mom n dad told me i was going on mon i flipped my lid and started screaming! yay best park i have ever been 2!!!!!

  • The beast was always a favorite of mine

  • omg i feel like a dork...i just flashed a peace sign and smiled at the ride cameras... -_-

  • best wooden coaster period

  • i would never ever ride this im such a baby

  • If you took every wooden piece on the Beast, it would go from KI to Texas haha

  • The Beast is hands down the best ride at KI. It's a tradition for myself, as well as others, to cap the night off with The Beast. A pitch black, jerk you around joy ride through the woods of Ohio. The helix at the end sells this ride. To all future riders, be sure to ride this at night before the park closes. It trully is an experience. Oh, and sit on the left side too, unless you want to be squashed. The helix flings everyone to the right

  • I went on the vortex and actually looked DOWN on the beast. It looks fun, but I've heard it is very jerky.

  • @tacotaylor00 i personally love the beast. i don't know what it is, but it's really fun to me. and it's really quite jerky, but that just makes for the ride haha. the vortex isn't the smoothest of rides either, though.

  • Why does it take a long time for it to go up the hill?

  • @Beccathehedgehog309 For proper blocking of the trains.

  • this is post be smoother this year i herd since they re did the tracks

  • That hill takes sooo long to get up though.

  • I love the drop at the beginning of this ride

  • i love this ride. thanks to my bf jarret anyway

  • I can't wait until kings island opens up.

  • rode this 100 times last season ready for 100 more

  • i live 30 minutes away rode this legitly 100 times last season ready for 10 more

  • i live like an hour away from it.

  • Built in1979 and still going strong as the longest woodie coaster in the world.

  • I love this ride...I lost my voice screaming of enjoyment..and the jerkying is amazing...giggity

  • The best Wooden Roller Coaster in the world. I realize that some are bigger and more advanced but this is my favorite wooden roller coaster.

  • it goes so much goes so much faster in oct it rocks best ride there

  • I WANT TO RIDE THIS RIDE SOOOO BAD???? but i live really far away and it takes a long time to get to Ohio. is this ride fun. does anyone kno

  • @13shifter yeah, but its REALLLY rough. I started crying last time i rode is cause it was thundering and lightning. Im going sunday so ill see if it seems bad.

  • @13shifter well if you ever come I suggest riding this at night on Halloween Haunt. fog is in the woods, night lights, and you see a glimpse of the beast on the right side... plus the view of the park on Halloween Haunt is awesome. I go every year on weekends and they jack it up in Halloween Haunt. You won't regret it. Halloween Haunt is only on Fridays and Saturdays starts at 7 pm and ends at 1 am. I just rode this last Friday night I still love it.

  • @icpgirl84 it goes fast at nite when fear fest is around they dont jack it up its the cold we got stuck on it and they told us all about the cold makes it fast lol

  • @seekermaster5 Due to friction. The colder it is, the less friction, so it might pick up half a mile an hour here and there, but not too much. Unless, as I said when I responded to heythatsmeagain, they adjust the lift chain speeds or change the lube to allow less friction, which they probably don't.

  • @icpgirl84 umm.... u do realize they cant make the roller coaster "faster" right? its al gravity that does the work. it seems faster just cause itsmore thrilling atnight. but as faras it going faster.. not true. they have no control over it

  • @heythatsmeagain Well, they can adjust the lift chain speeds, which gives the coaster more or less momentum, and they can change the lube to a better one that reduces friction better, but chances are they're not going to do either of those.

  • @gp75motorsports i agree completly. but because of how complex a roller coaster works on its block system, they cant really chage the ride speed to much (many only 1 or 2 mph ) before the block system does work the way its supposed too. but u do make your point and i thank you for the conversation :)

  • thats looks like a fun time

  • @xevilwalksx it is just hope nothin goes wrong and they use brakes then youll slam into the car and it came me a big welt on my thigh

  • When I worked on The Beast back in the early 1990's, we would do things called "night rides" where the mechanics would drop the brakes after the park closed and we would ride a few times. You can see the brakes in the shed and going down the second big hill... it didn't have fin brakes back then, though. With no brakes, it would hit speeds of about 80+ mph at certain parts of the ride. It was insane! It also beat the crap outta ya but man, it ROCKED!

  • Nothing better than "The Beast" after dark. Nothing.

  • @bl0wg0at yeah there is vortex

  • @TH3JOK3R1000 Vortex sucks in my opinion. I hate pretty much every Arrow except Magnum XL-200. The Beast at night beats Voyage.

  • @bl0wg0at yea

  • i went in june and i waited like 30 mins if that. ahh i miss this ride

  • how much time do u have to wait in line?

  • Comment removed

  • This is the best woodie ever. No matter what anyone says!

  • i am a beast veteran i love it i live ten minutes from kings island and im proud of their records and my newly awarded all rider (i've ridden all free rides in the park)

  • when we went for our schools honors trip, it was closed because some girl had a heart attack on it.

  • this was my first roller coaster. i rode it when i was 5. i thought i was gonna shit my pants...

  • this is an awsome ride

  • They ripped the teeth out of the Beast with all those trim breaks.

  • shit i wish i could ride this right now if the weather wasnt so bad

  • i sware i saw him in the tunnle number 3 on the left he has glowing red eyes you cant see him because he was somewhere else haunting the poopie out of people

  • OMG i saw Johnny!!!!!!!!!!!hes one of the ghosts at kings island

  • @spirittemple19 DID YOU OMG. lol

  • my friend punched me in the face 3 times on this lol

  • OMG THIS AND THE DIAMONDBACK ARE MY FAVORITE KINGS ISLAND COAASTERS

    

  • I love this ride!!!I love how your going so fast tnen you get to the secound big hill and you like are going really slow...Its so werid to say I've ridden the longest wooden roller coaster in the world!! I love Kingsisland and Cedar Point!!They rock (:

  • Great ride! But it bounces and bangs and clahes you around alot lol. When me and my Frend went last summer I told her to put her arms up and we both did, and I wacked her in the face with my arm at 1:40 because we all moved cuz of the turns xD Hah it was so funny! This was our favorite ride! then we rode Diamondback...

  • I rode it Sunday. It's a great ride. The Kings Island website is sorta riddled with errors though huh? Since when is 7,400 feet equal to 1-3/4 miles? :))

  • 14 hours 32 minutes! :)

  • @sunkisslover22 where;s the best place 2 sit where it wudnt b so bumpy

  • This coaster is so freakin long i swear. DAMN

  • omg first drop totally sucks if you arent ready

  • Ugh i can't wait to go to kings island and ride this again!Best ride ever!Unfortunantly still a few weeks,but it's not that long :)

  • @trentisdrrange

    1 week and 6 days! =]

  • @thesuperskittle07 WOO! I CAN'T WAIT!

  • Woodens are great. I rode one 2 days ago at Belmont Park in San Diego, but it hurt like hell. I am still waiting on this video to load, but i'm sure it's great!

  • this ride is the best i think in kings island, out of the woodens its not tall but has alot of jerky turns and tunnels, its worth the 4 minutes.

  • Love it<3 Favorite ride there.

  • Looks fun...gotta try it soon

  • They are correct. This is the longest wooden roller coaster in the world. And they are also correct that it will beat the hell out of you.  Hold your head forward. My PDA got cracked during this ride. It will also likely give you a headache. But the last two tunnels should make it entirely worth it!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The ultimate is a steel track coaster 42 foot longer but 20 MPH slower!

    The Beast is the longest wooden coaster in the world!

  • @comanche999999 No, The Beast is the longest. Son of Beast is the tallest, the fastest, and has the biggest drop on any wooden coaster.

  • @TeamApparition Son of Beast won't be once it's tore down unfortunately :( caused too many injuries and accidents it's been closed for a long time

  • @icpgirl84 Its not officially going to be torn down. No announcement has been made, but one is expected soon.

  • @TeamApparition But somehow still inferior to the beast.

  • @FaceMaster420 Yup. :)

  • @TeamApparition Son of the Beast also used to be the only looping wooden coaster, but they removed the loop (which was actually made of metal) back in like 2006 I believe. Now they hardly even run it anymore.

  • @girlofgaga63 It's closed and being torn down soon.

  • @TeamApparition that WAS true BUT Son of Beast is now CLOSED.

  • @TeamApparition son of the beast got shut down because of someone being stupid

  • @ChadFalksen orly?

  • @TeamApparition son of beast is like super broke. wasnt even on the map!

  • @jordanpatterson123 [sarcasm] I totally didn't know this at all! [/sarcasm]

  • @TeamApparition wow, why be a bitch?

  • @TeamApparition Ha yea and now its closed so it all goes to the beast

  • @mrcoolcat455 Nope. El Toro is now the fastest, Colossos is the tallest, and El Toro has the biggest drop.

  • big fat dipstick

  • You might want to note this, but The Beast isn't just the longest wooden roller coaster in the world. It's actually the longest roller coaster in North America!

  • ya it actually is

  • IN THE WORLD! :)

  • seeing the diamondback from this monster on the second hill rocked. Man that is a good ride, but you get bumped around because they used to have trim brakes, but when i went they didnt have them! man you get a big headache and stuff, but its all worth it

  • Seeing DB from the second lift hill. Amazing. <3

  • How'd you get permission to record? Did you just ask?

  • some ppl just grab out their cell phones...

  • hell naw dumb ass he sneaked!

  • my sister and my friend rode this yesterday. :)

  • is it smooth

  • not at all but its still awesomee

  • Lean forward and tell me it's not smooth.

  • well, no it's not smooth! if you ride diamondback right after this, you'll feel a lot better

  • Have you tried what I said to do? It makes it smooth... But Diamondback is smoother. =] Much more fun too... no straight pieces of track of bordem...

  • the absoloute opposite. you get a huge headache but its worth it!

  • no its not

  • and at 2:10 they didnt have that mini lift

  • then wat did they have!

  • Brakes
