| Why
The Beast is #2 on my list... I love The Beast because it is set in the woods, which adds to the theme of the coaster. The twin helix at the end is spectacular! Coming down that hill straight into the tunnel takes my breath away. I like the fact that The Beast is spread out over so many acres. You don't see any other rides the whole time you're on it. It is a rough ride, but that just adds to the whole experience. The length of the ride makes me feel like it was worth waiting in line for. I've been riding this coaster since I was 7 years old, and it just gets better every time. The best seat on this coaster...the very front! |
