It always has a wait, high on guest reviews.... and that popularity has endured the pandemic, droughts, hot weather, terrible summers, bad ride attendants, GMs, and countless recessions.  It is a a textbook definition of a "Great Coaster".  It is remarkable, out of the box, and not available anywhere else.  People come, sometimes specifically, to ride the legendary Beast.
