I have to admit, it was fun! I live in Manhattan and had never heard of the Beast. My 16 year old niece was visiting and she read about it online. She loved it! We got a little wet, depends on the winds that day and if you sit by the side you'll get wetter than if you sit closer to the aisle. But I wore clothes that could get wet. Was glad to have sun glasses to keep salt water from getting in my eyes. The guys are fun, crack jokes, play fun music and give you a little bit of sightseeing info. They are also NYC firemen which made me feel safer. Take your camera and maybe take a plastic bag to keep your purse from getting wet. Mine didn't, but just in case. I ordered tickets in advance online. Since you can't pick your time, it wasn't any advantage. You still have to stand in line at the pier to trade your voucher in for the actual timed tickets. Have fun!

Have done other jet boat rides, small jet boats so you get to do the 360 spins. This boat is too large for those, got great close up pic of Statue of Liberty which was great, and certainly got wet on a very hot sunny day so was a good bonus.

The best ride in town, Captain and crew were incredibly inventive and upbeat, the ride was the best Beast ride ever, thanks so much for a invigorating experience.
