Which Do You Like More? The 70's wood monster BEAST or the Diamondback that is ready to strike at anytime?

Both are great, but for me Diamondback by a mile....

I love both, but I gotta go with Diamondback.

of course Diamondback, its my home for must of the summer.

Definitely The Beast! Hands down. Diamondback is fun and all, but The Beast will always be my favorite ride....especially at night!!

Null vote. I love Diamondback's (relative) smoothness and insane ejector in the back row on the first drop, but I prefer my coasters with a little more than repeated floater and a few turns. I love Beast's classicness, but (I hate to say this again, but) it just isn't running very well this year, in my opinion. (On the immediate exit from the first pass through the helix tunnel, I swear you can see the track deformations while riding in the front row. If not, sit in the back and watch the entire train lurch as it leaves the tunnel... Don't forget to brace yourself!)

They're pretty close but I love wood (TWSS) so I'm going to have to say The Beast!!!

29 years from now do you think Diamonback will be as well famed as The Beast is now? Didn't think so. The Beast. The name speakes for its self

The Beast. I love Diamondback but I love it when i'm running through woods and the double helix at the end is what just makes it the best.

Two different class of coastsrs can't compare them.

The Beast is boring to me... DB is fun and exciting!

I've never thought to compare a wooden coaster to a steel coaster. But I'll go with The Beast.

1. There is no other coaster out there like it, Diamondback has about four other clones.

2. Without The Beast, who knows where Kings Island would be now.

Although Diamondback was a good addition, I'm still going with the big, bad, Beast!

I sat in the back of Diamondback and was not all that impressed - it was not as smooth as I thought it would be. The future will tell, but I am guessing that DB will get a lot rougher as the years go by - and how do you re-track a steel coaster? The Beast could be around forever - and will change, too, through the years - but at least it can be fixed if it gets to be too much for riders to endure.
