The Beast will always be my number one coaster. It was the first 'big' roller coaster that I ever rode, and to tell you the truth, I'd rather take one ride on The Beast, than spend the entire day riding my #2 coaster. (Raging Bull). Maybe its the nostalgia that surrounds that coaster, but it still blows me away every time I ride it. It's just one of those ride experiences that absolutely can not be found anywhere else.
But then again, I have a reputation of really enjoying roller coasters that others don't care for, like Great American Scream Machine(SFOG), Gwazi, American Eagle, Iron Wolf, Son of Beast, and the former Shockwave.
