Nah. Loop is best, only part with NO PAIN, no matter were you are sitting, plus you get to see stuff upside down.

I wonder if that has to do with the fact that it's a steel structure with a wooden track, or the specific ways that the G forces act upon the train.

Seeing how the rest of the ride pretty much rough as hell, I'm gonna go with because it's steel structure with wooden track.

The ride is rough - but I like it that way. It is my favorite ride - and the more it kicks my ass the more I will like it!

I don't think being rough is a good reason to dislike it. It is very fun I think, if you can get over the roughness in your mind. I mean if you have a back problem, it might not be a good idea, but I know perfectly healthy people that whine about the roughness all the time.

Well if your a perfectly healthy person and you get on the ride and it beats the crap out of you and puts you in pain and ruins your day because of how rough it is, then I would think that it would be a good reason to dislike the ride.

Heck yeah it would. I would only ride it once a month or so.

SOB with backward trains is redicoulous, I would like to ride Beast backwards though

SOB backwards... I'd do it!

I would also love to try The Beast backwards. Other rides that would be killer backwards would be Top Gun, Raging Bull, and Superman: Ultimate Flight!!!

BTW, SFAW runs their Arrow Suspended XLR-8 with half the train backards... Anyone think Top Gun would be cool like this?

Yeah it would be cool. I thought they closed X-LR8 down?

No, to my knowledge XLR8R is still open. It would be cool to ride Top Gun backwards. I do not think PKI will ever do this though.

O my bad. Yeah it would be awesome.

I think SOB would be alright going backwards. it would be a lot more rougher. I think SOB is just fine but I was just thinking what if.....

The chiropractic industry around Greater Cincinnati would have been booming!
