Every year, records are broken by feet, and yes, sometimes inches, usually owing to the construction of the newest, fastest and highest coasters. But there’s one coaster record that hasn’t been touched in more than 40 years, the record for the world’s longest wooden roller coaster. Currently that record belongs to The Beast at Kings Island in Mason, Ohio.
And, thanks to offseason track work and reprofiling of The Beast’s iconic first drop, the coaster is getting longer in 2022 and will break its own record. When it opens in May, The Beast will have from 7,359 to 7,361 feet.
