		With two lift hills, a speed of 65 mph, and a 540 degree helix finale that is unmatched, this coaster remains at the top of the heap among wooden coasters.

		The Beast is by far and away the greatest roller coaster (or ride too, for that matter) I have ever been on.

		Many people ride alone on roller coasters—maybe their parents or boyfriends are afraid of heights—but I have yet to meet another person who goes unaccompanied to amusement parks.

		Where you sit really makes a difference on this ride (as in all coasters) I prefer the back, beacuse of the increased height on the first drop, and the intense g's you feel when going backwards through the vertical loop.
		The front gives you the view of any front car coaster, which is always fun.
		Another fun thing to do on this coaster is look up right before you enter the station the last time, seeing it rush toward you from above.
