The BEAST is a roller coaster on the water, with fast turns, loud music and plenty of splashes. You also get skyline views and a photo stop by the Statue of Liberty.
What to expect
This roughly 30-minute Circle Line speedboat ride races across the water at around 45 mph. Expect an energetic crew, loud music and sharp turns with plenty of splashes along the way.
Choose a departure from Pier 83 in Midtown or Pier 16 in the Seaport. The Midtown ride follows the Hudson River, while the Downtown route also passes beneath the Brooklyn Bridge. There is a brief photo stop by the Statue of Liberty before the speed picks up again.
Riders must be at least 40 inches tall. Children need their own seat, and everyone must remain buckled in. The operator does not recommend the ride for pregnant guests or people with back, neck or heart conditions.
Good to know
Wear something you do not mind getting wet and protect your phone from splashes.
Check your departure pier when booking. Operating days differ by location, and rides do not run in heavy rain or thunderstorms.
