        Nope nope nope.

        I can't wait to see a 360 version of that video like this one at Kings Island:

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          I have ridden The Beast. It is rough as a cob, a chiropractor's dream. It's also wooden. Last time I rode it was September and very hot. I looked down and saw the bottom was in fact on fire. I told the as I got off and they just said 'yeah, we know about that'.

          Never, ever again. But then my appetite for physically dangerous thrills has diminished over the years.

            The video really does not capture how rough it is. Thing really jerks your neck.

                So....not to be a downer, but I found that ride underwhelming. Sure it’s high and fast but otherwise it seems a little vanilla. I feel like if you have a coaster that fast, you need stuff closer to it so you can really see how fast you’re going by things.

                  Woah now The Beast. That’s a coaster! Never been, but that video conveys my point well! Also, who does like a good click clack of a wooden coaster.

                    Btw...roller coasters. Up there in terms of inventions that really separate ourselves as a species.

                      I had a similar thought, 89th. Bold and elegant and awesome.

                        Maybe the last time I rode a roller Coaster was the old cyclone at Coney Island.
