Each year I go to PKI many times and The Beast is the only coaster I insist on riding each time. This year I tried the rear car, which I had never done before. Wow! You can really feel the speed in the rear car - especially when going down the drop hill. As with other reviewers, I had felt the braking had slowed the train down too much in the past. This year, however, the braking is different and the train has a lot of speed. The Beast is always best at night. The best experience I have ever had was on a Friday night - enthusiastic crowd and racing through tunnels in darkness.
