    Airtimes First Drop Intensity

    The best wooden coaster that I've been on. The first drop is insane and the airtime is on a whole nother level. It's gotten a little bit rougher over the years, but it is still an incredible ride. You get this feeling of "I should not be going this fast on a wooden coaster". This is especially coupled with the fact that the restrains are just a lap bar.

    Location Intensity Duration Discomfort

    An absolutely iconic wooden coaster, The Beast still packs a punch all these years later. It's very long and provides some outstanding views. It's not all that smooth, but that just adds to the whole vibe. The second drop is also absolute bonkers.

    Location Pace Rattle Layout

    Overall, a pretty average ride. I found it to be a bit rough and boring, but I didn't hate my time on it. It provides some nice views and the second half was a lot more intense than I was expecting. Not too bad but not very memorable either.

    Inversions Fun Layout

    Overall, a solid floorless coaster. I wouldn't say it does any one thing exceptionally well, but everything it does is consistently good. It does lack some originality, and overall I prefer Dominator at Kings Dominion, but it's still pretty fun. I feel that it gets overlooked because the competition is so high at this park.

    First Drop Inversions Intensity

    The best coaster I've ever ridden. Hands down. I rode this in the back and the airtime was unlike anything I've ever experienced. There isn't a single dull moment. The drop is spectacular and it's like the third best part of the ride. If you go to Cedar Point and miss riding this, you're doing something wrong. RMC captured lightning in a bottle.

    Launch Fun Intensity Discomfort Lap Bar

    The launch is incredible and it's a fun ride, but the restraints are some of the worst I've ever experienced. I got stapled and my thighs hurt really badly the next day. The lines are also usually fairly long because it's indoors.

    Inversions Intensity Layout

    A very forceful yet super fun ride. There was a tiny rattle but nothing that hindered my enjoyment of it. The twist at the end is nuts. Overall, a great invert and a must ride at Kings Island.

    Inversions Fun Pointless

    It's a decently fun ride, but it's lacking in originality. I found it to be pretty smooth, but if you've ridden any other boomerang, you know what you're getting yourself into. Also, you may end up sitting face to face with a stranger with the way the seats are arranged.

    First Drop Smoothness Layout

    This was my first giga coaster, and it was an amazing experience. I obviously haven't ridden any other B&M gigas other than this (Leviathan and Fury), but I really loved the airtime and the layout. That last floater airtime hill in particular was nuts. A great addition to the Kings Island lineup.

    Inversions Smoothness

    Awesome floorless coaster. The inversions are awesome and it's a very fun ride. My ride was also very smooth, and I didn't notice any rattling.
