It has been really cool to watch the progression of riding roller coasters for Sam. Two years ago, he didn't want to ride any of the bigger thrill rides. Last summer he started riding the Racer, and this year he is riding the Beast. We were both scared going up the very steep hill, but overall it was fun. It is a bit rickety, but very fast and it also lasts long. Wow, how different these rides feel on my body than they did 20 years ago!
Here is a description: Come feel the excitement as The Beast – arguably the greatest wooden roller coaster ever built – unleashes its awesome power on the unsuspecting. This coaster sprawls across a densely-wooded, 35 acre site. It is topographical, so the rugged, natural terrain adds to the excitement. The Beast is the longest wooden coaster in the world at 7,400 feet (1-3/4 miles); travels at speeds approaching 70 mph and has a ride length of nearly four minutes. It features two incredible vertical drops (135 and 141 feet) and has three dark tunnels, plus a spectacular 540 degree helix turn at the end.
