When The Beast first opened to the public April 14, 1979, it was called America’s ultimate roller coaster. It broke all existing records as the longest and fastest ride in the world.
Designed and built in-house by Kings Island personnel, the thrilling ride is still listed in the “Guinness Book of World Records” as the longest wooden roller coaster in the world at 7,361 feet.
Features of The Beast include a ride time of more than four minutes; vertical drops of 137 feet (at a 53-degree angle) and 141 feet (at an 18-degree angle); a 125-foot long underground tunnel at the bottom of the 137-foot drop; eight banked turns – some to 45 degrees; 540-degree helix tunnel and speeds up to 65 mph.
Along with the Beast’s 45th anniversary, King’s Island will celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Diamondback and the 10th anniversary of the Banshee.
To celebrate these landmark anniversaries, Kings Island will give the first 750 riders of The Beast, Diamondback and Banshee a limited edition Ride Anniversary Trading Card pack. These trading cards will include current rides, former rides and key moments in Kings Island history.
