Admiral Ackbar Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 Ummm - OK. So you make a topic - and people don't help the way you want - so you make another one? Way to go... What is The Beast like? Yes it is fun. And yes it is cool. Way too cool for you. Quote

RailRider Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 What do I do to prepare to ride The Beast? Well during every offseasson I run 2 miles every morning for cardio, watch my vast collection of roller coaster DVDs so I can practice holding my arms up(really helps with endurance) and I go sledding down big ice mountains so I can pay respect to roller coaster heritage. I find that this routine has been quite effective in preparing me to ride The Beast every year... Then again you could just get in line and ride it. Your call Quote
PKIVortex Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 I don't think anything can really prepare you for The Beast just get on it and ride it? Have you ridden any other coasters in the park? If you can ride Vortex you can ride The Beast. Quote

Flight Of The Dead Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 sit in the very back and raise your hands up, its really fun goin down the first hill and be ready for some awsome tricks The Beast does im goin on thursday so im all ready to ride everything. Quote
deidre1976 Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 I love the double helix if you ride on the right it feels like it will take your head off Quote

LOL Thanks every one Quote
KIBeast Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 The Beast is long, fun, out of control. Good airtime in certain spots. Great finale with the double helix. I have rode probably every car and I don't really have a preference. If you can stay until close, get a night ride. It is really dark out there in the woods and seems to go faster. Quote
Snake Attack! Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 I really like the front seat on either side because you see the track in front of you and you get plenty on physical air in your face, if the conditions are right the front will make you cry Quote
king_cobra_27 Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 I agree. Riding "The Beast" at night is a great way to end your day at the park. And I prefer the front seat of any roller coaster. ( the front seat is highly unique on "Expedition Everest" at Disney's Animal Kingdom ) And if I can give some advice. While you are going through the double helix don't look straight ahead. Instead, look to the right. You can see the trees fly by you through the gaps in the tunnel and it looks like some kind of unnatural strobe. Very intense. Also, it has only happened a couple of times that I have seen, but if you can get "The Wave" started from the front of the train to the back. That makes the lifthill more fun too. kc Quote
kjkjkj Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 i have a good tip for you though! If you are short, on the second hill brace yourself. Because it's a little rough entering the helix. Quote
Jasper Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 Well sit in the back. Dont hold on and prepare for one heck of a ride. Quote
Quickwind Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 I heard the best does a triple corkscrew followed by a half loop/corkscrew with 5 loops in a row. Is this true? if so i must REALLLY prepare for it dot dot dot Quote
KIBeast Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 Quickwind is referring to The Vortex. If I'm not mistaken, Son of Beast is the only looping wood coaster in the world. Quote
Quickwind Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 i'm actually being insanely sarcastic. . . hence the dot dot dot. Quote
KIBeast Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 Ok. Please use the smilie when being sarcastic. I try to do that so people are not confused. Quote
AZ Kinda Guy Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 The Beast is overrated. Plain and Simple. Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 It seems to be a darn sight more reliable, popular, less expensive to maintain and even more comfortable than its son. Perhaps that is why it is so sad. Parents are always upset when their kids don't turn out as well as they hoped. Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 The Beast is overrated. Plain and Simple. So is that guy Sparky, looks arent everything I guess. Quote
AZ Kinda Guy Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 I'm overrated? What?..Either way, The Beast is still overrated. Give me the Screechin Eagle any day. A far superior coaster. Sadly, not in operation. Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 ^I feel for the screechin eagle with you, and I was kidding about you being over rated, I'm a big fan of your posts on here. We met once I think. Quote
coaster-chickie Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 The Beast is overrated. Plain and Simple. *GASSSSSPPPPPP*...*cough...cough*...*gets out inhaler*...Now don't you feel bad for making some poor kid have an asthma attack? Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted August 4, 2006 Posted August 4, 2006 Let me answer this one for Sparky: "No." Quote
LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 Make sure you hold on at the end or your arms will get chopped off. Blood is yucky. Quote
