Rode Beach Party early in the morning and it wasn't spinning. I didn't see it spinning all day, actually. It seems like they were compensating by making it swing higher than usual, but it may have just seemed like that considering its been a year since I went on it. Next time I go on the Beast I'll have to prepare myself mentally a little more. I wish I could have tried the inside seats, though. My friends said they felt better.

Just got back from a day at the park, so I figured I'd give my two cents about The Beast. I underestimated this ride entirely. I was expecting it to be a similar experience to Crazy Beach Party, but it was a different beast entirely (no pun intended). It starts off slow, but at some point the force of the arm really kicks in and pushes you hard into your seat. Honestly, this was the most intense flat ride experience I've had. Cresting the top, I found myself taken aback by how heavy the gravity on this ride was. It's an experience that takes a lot out of you, and it had me feeling nauseous for the rest of the day (though, admittedly, this was most likely because I had been on all the biggest rides in about thirty minutes leading up to the Beast.) All in all, it was a great ride! But it really knocked me on my butt. I wouldn't recommend it for people who like a casual ride experience, nor would I recommend it to people who don't enjoy flat rides (obviously.)

Based solely on how much it beat me up last week, Coaster Express at Parque Warner Madrid is the most reasonable candidate.

This thing looks insane. I can't wait to see it when it's finished. Gotta admit, I'm so glad they're trying something new and not just replacing it with some boring cookie-cutter B&M.

I find that the best policy is to stay hydrated and go on as many rides as you can. Even something like a chairswing with virtually no wait time can give you a breeze nice enough to cool you down (if only for a little while.)
