Well we already know that lol, he's made it quite clear.

SOB looks bad. Some of the wood in areas is real loose. Got a good look at it when i was on Adventure Express saturday. SOB looks older then The Beast.

I wonder just how old The Beast is....

This needs to stop.

Yes happy day to millenium force that is a great coaster!

Good lord I'm getting old.

It was initially built 33 years ago, but I wonder how much of it is still 33 years old?

Lots of Love to one of my favorite coasters.

I've realized recently that the view going up the lift hill is one of my favorite "coaster moments."

I wish to thank you.

My bad jokes have a tendency to derail topics. You have now brought derailing to a new level.

Derailing? No one mentioned King Cobra.

I remember hearing on one of those Discover/Travel Channel coaster shows one time that roughly 10% of a wooden coaster's structure has to be replaced yearly. If that's true (and I have no way of knowing whether it is or isn't) that would mean The Beast has been rebuilt 3.3 times since the original structure opened in 1979

Of course, I imagine that 10% figure isn't evenly distributed around the whole coaster, so maybe there are still some orginal parts of The Beast intact during its whole 33 year-old life span...
