Type: wooden
Park: Kings Island, Ohio
Description: The Beast is a wooden roller coaster located at Kings Island in Mason, Ohio. It is currently the longest wooden roller coaster in the world and sprawls over 35 acres (14 ha). It was also the fastest and tallest wooden roller coaster in the world when it opened in Spring 1979. Paramount sold King's Island to Cedar Fair LP in 2006, and The Beast is now under Cedar Fair LP's ownership. (Cedar Fair's main amusement park is Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio.)
 
The Beast has been constantly rated as one of the top roller coasters in the world since it first opened, having earned itself a cult-like following among some coaster enthusiasts. Even after nearly 30 years, it is still the main attraction at Kings Island, located at the rear of the park in the Rivertown section. To date, over 33 million riders have ridden The Beast.
