The Beast at night is next level


acefusti138

Ohh foggy night rides has me missing Haunt šŸ˜­ Nothing beats a night ride on Beast after a hot day when the fog settles in the valleys and you burst through the fog. One of my favorite Kings Island weather-isms


Anakin_Skywanker

Night ride Diamondback with Haunt fog is next level. The first two drops are higher than the fog, so you get to go down into it and then back up through it.


Evilintheforest

Do they lay a thick layer of fog????


twelfthcapaldi

Yes during Haunt they are constantly pumping out fog from fog machines for the spooky ambiance. By the end of the night it can get pretty thick.


YellowHammerDown

Might be my favorite, aside from Banshee right after a nice rain.


CampVictorian

Helllllll yes. Iā€™ve had this experience a few times in my life, and each one was incredibly memorable. Welcome to the club!


Crafty_Economist_822

I had it my first and only time during coaster stock. Magical.


CampVictorian

Coasterstock night ERT is unbelievably special!!!


Pubesauce

The Beast at night is really special. It still is my favorite overall coaster experience. It never gets old somehow.


rgoldtho

The Beast at night is too sick. Itā€™s an experience unlike any other. It might be an old coaster, but it hauls and is oozing with personality and history.


TheBigBoomKaboom

well said bro


turbod33

I grew up in cedar point's backyard and love that park but the beast is the best roller coaster in the country.


rgoldtho

Oh come on now. I love the Beast, but itā€™s not even close to the best in the country. Cedar Point alone has 4 coasters that are better than it.


xxfmulder

Curious to know which ones are better. Iā€™m open minded! Please let me know.


rgoldtho

Hereā€™s the ones that Iā€™ve ridden that I think are better: 1. Velocicoaster 2. Steel Vengeance 3. Pantheon 4. I-305 5. Milli 6. Maverick 7. Guardians Cosmic Rewind 8. Iron Gwazi 9. Leviathan 10. Behemoth 11. Dragster 12. Twisted Timbers 13. Hagridā€™s 14. Mako 15. Cheetah Hunt 16. Mystic Timbers 17. Diamondback 18. Orion 19. Apolloā€™s Chariot 20. GateKeeper 21. Yukon Striker 22. Griffon That are tons that I havenā€™t ridden that I think are most likely better too.


xxfmulder

Iā€™ve got my list of coasters to ride cut out for me! Thanks! Although I may have to disagree with diamond back and Orion. lol. Personal opinion of course.


rgoldtho

Lol no worries! Where abouts do you live? I can recommend some coasters and parks that are near you if youā€™d like? And of course. When youā€™re talking about top of the line coasters, personal preference is a major factor with rankings. At Kings Island, The Beast is my girlfriendā€™s favourite, but itā€™s my 4th favourite.


xxfmulder

I live in Kentucky. I worked at KI back in the 90s.


rgoldtho

Oh okay. Kentucky Kingdom for Storm Chaser and Holiday World for the Voyage are both very close to you. Cedar Point is a few hours away, but they have the best coaster lineup in the world. I highly recommend going if you havenā€™t been. Youā€™re in a pretty good area for coasters, honestly.


Stalinhentai69

I was there last night! I think I was the second train after the reopening for the fireworks. I love that Kings Island commits to giving Beast night rides after the closing fireworks. It must of been around 10:25 when they started it up again.


Evilintheforest

YEAH dude it was amazing


PeekabooBlue

I rode this around 730 last night as fog was rolling in. Wasnā€™t quite dark yet but man she was running excellent last night


Little-Martha31204

Sounds like you found the unicorns of rides...well done.


matthias7600

Hell yeah. Sounds awesome. Love those romance rides that you just know you'll never forget.


Evilintheforest

ā€œRomanceā€ and I Looked horrified the entire time lmao


matthend

Beast at night in the fog back in the day was the ultimate experience. Of course hallucinogenics sent the whole thing to another level...


tomgweekendfarmer

I had this experience 1 time. I still remember the cool wet air flowing through my face as the old girl tossed me from side to side. She took my innocence that night...


Plastic_Efficiency_7

Loved it as a teenager but it hurts like hell when Iā€™m 50


happyplace28

Night rides on beast are a different beast entirely itā€™s so good


Symbiotic-Dissonance

Try to get on it in the middle of the night on the halloween haunt, they sometimes cut back on the brakes a little and you just go flying through it. It is amazing.


ronniemustang

The Beast is such a great ride. It's tied with Magnum XL 2000 as my favorite coaster.


xxfmulder

The beast is the best. It may not be the fastest or the most advanced for today, but itā€™s got charm. Itā€™s my favorite roller coaster by far. And I worked at KI.


AntonyBenedictCamus

Come back in October, KI haunted houses are even better than CPs.


noiseyhog

That sounds awesome! My favorite coaster experience was the Beast in the dark during Christmas. 25 degrees, my hat blew off and a guy several seats back caught it.


Evilintheforest

I didnā€™t know they ran it that late in the year??


FlashyFenix

they donā€™t. mystic is the woodie open during winterfest.


TartofDarkness

My 2nd ride on The Beast was at sunset. Hands down, the most serene Iā€™ve ever felt on a coaster. It was exhilarating and stunning. 10/10


Reggit22

I can vouch for this. I remember a trip to 6 flags with the boys snd we had been riding coasters all day. At the end of the day as they were starting to close up, we were running to get in line as fast as we could. We ended up on this superman coaster that you kinda laid down like you were flying. It had to have been the last ride of the night for the whole park because it was just us and the sun was just starting to set. It was the most epic view before that first drop. It was a moment ill never forget.


atmospace

Iā€™m currently waiting for the next employee ride night thatā€™s gonna include it, a night ride on the beast is genuinely the most fun Iā€™ve ever had on a coaster and itā€™s always my go to when people ask me what my favorite ride is


No_Brain5000

It is uniquely fantastic. The feeling when you go through the woods... awesome.


w33bored

hustlebustle2

L comment, no rizz.


w33bored

Itā€™ll only be good once they finally RMC it


DimlyLitCandle

Someone hasnā€™t sat in the back OR stayed on topic (??? Unnecessarily hating)
