= "The Beast" ﻿My favorite rollercoaster, and arguably the greatest wooden coaster of all time, is The Beast. Before being able to ride the massive coaster, you have to wait in line. The line is long and full of zig zags. The floorboards in the line are old and rickety. You can see and meet many different races of people while in line. At times there can be a very long wait because it's a very popular ride. After the line comes the boarding station. To keep you interested, there are factual signs and televisions. Fans mounted on the walls keep you cool. There are different entrance ways, so you can pick which car of the train you want to sit in. This platform that you are sitting on, the station, is pretty much the point of no return. When it's your turn to board, step into the car and have a seat. Buckle the seat belt and you should hear it click. Workers come around to make sure it's latched properly. Now comes the ride. You should still be in the station until you hear the all clear and the thud of the breaks releasing. After that, you're rolling around a gradule turn that takes you to the lift hill. On your way up you hear the clicking and clacking of the lift chain. You reach the crest and begin speeding up rapidly. All of a sudden everything's dark and you launch out of a tunnel. You continue the journey through the woods on what seems like an endless ride. More tunnels, turns, and hills await you before reaching the station. If You ever go to Kings Island, I would highly recomend riding The Beast if you like wooden coasters. It's definately worth it. =
