About The Beast

★ Longest wooden roller coaster in the world

The Beast is a wooden roller coaster at Kings Island in Mason, Ohio, USA, open since 1979. The ride stands 110 feet tall, drops 141 feet and reaches 65 mph over 7,359 feet of track.

At nearly a mile and a half of track weaving through forest, The Beast remains the longest wooden roller coaster on Earth. Much of the ride is out of sight of the midway, giving it an unusually wild, backwoods character.

Field note: built largely by park staff rather than an outside manufacturer.
