During The Day The Beast Is (in My Opinion) One Of The More Tame Coasters At The Park - Tumblr Posts



I present: some of my favorite pictures I've ever taken from the Fast Lane line of The Beast.
For context, we went into the line at sunset in hopes for a night ride, and discovered that the park apparently stops operations on The Beast before all the other rides in preparation for the fireworks. Sure, we had to stand there for a good long while before the coaster started up again, but y'all will be happy to hear that we did indeed get our night ride!
The first picture is a shot of Diamondback going over its last airtime hill before the helix into the splashdown ending. The sun was really just starting to set by then.
Images 2 & 3 are of the drones during the actual fireworks show. They were practically right over us! If I had to guess, I'd say that the drones are probably released from the old Vortex site. Everyone in the Fast Lane line was standing there with their heads craned upwards trying to guess what the shapes were/what we thought the next shape would be. We had a lot of fun that day lol
