Coaster reviews

Theming Pace Intensity

This is an absolute classic and a marvel of engineering, the ride experience is kind of sad but the respect is there for this one

Capacity Launch Duration Discomfort

Best ride at the Universal Resort in the fact that you can typically walk right on it. My only complaint is the stapling of the legs with the lapbar and the rough reverse section.

Lap Bar Fun Smoothness Reliability

This is one of the most fun rides I have ever been on. The music makes the ride very rerideable, the elements all feel unique to this ride, and the ride runs very smooth most days. However the ride is down almost every time i go to Universal for at least some portion of the day. I have been walked off of this ride once as well as had the ride close when i was in the queue or station nearly a dozen times.

Inversions Launch Layout Headbanging Theming

Great rollercoaster with plenty of world class inversions. The theming is sparse in comparison to the other rides in the park. certain seats provide headbanging but it is not that much of a problem compared to other rollercoasters around the country

Nice surprise! Duration Discomfort

This ride is undeniably a classic but it lacks the ride experience matching its status as an all time great theme park attraction

Theming Capacity Disappointing!

This ride is a blemish in an otherwise perfectly themed park: Animal Kingdom. The lines are always 30-40 minutes, there is poor theming which neither would be a problem if the ride were any fun

Theming Fun Masterpiece Too short

Definitely the best balance of theming and thrills of any highly themed rollercoaster. I wish they could get that Yeti running again

Location Dead spots

Covered in trims, probably to stave off the worst of the roughness associated with 70's and 80's wooden coasters. As a result, the ride doesn't have any particularly forceful parts. The Beast is nonetheless one of the better surviving examples of the era; and the forest setting and duration are both excellent.

Forceless, anemic, rough, yet visually impressive. Rather like Gouderix? If it had been smooth, the dull layout would have been exposed even more. The loop was the highlight of the ride, mostly because it offered some sort of excitement. Of course, that had to be removed when the trains were changed. This is the only ride I've ever returned to the station chanting BURN IT! BURN IT! You didn't miss anything missing out on this one.

Controversially, not a big fan of this one. Great setting, and well looked after, but not a patch on Megafobia. Perhaps suffered from being overhyped somewhat.
