World's Longest Wooden Roller Coaster Receives New Track for 2025 Season

March 19, 2025

It’s no wonder guests from all over the world travel to Kings Island to ride The Beast. Its record-breaking features include a 7,361-foot-long track (1.4 miles) and ride time of more than four minutes. The legendary coaster has been lurking the woods in the amusement park's Rivertown since 1979, and this offseason, crews began the massive project of replacing more than 1,600 feet of the coaster’s track. 

By the time work is completed, more than 20% of the wood coaster's track will be replaced. The project encompasses the section from just before the second hill, through the brake shed, and the mid-course tunnel, including the track immediately before and after it.

It won't be long until April 19, when Kings Island opens its gates for the first time in 2025. Enjoy unlimited visits for one low price (including unlimited rides on The Beast!) with a Season Pass.
