My family and I had a great time on the beast! We got wet, we got to see the Statue of Liberty and we got to go fast! The only drawback was right before coming back to the dock he got us very wet again, after nearly drying off from the speed. This was a challenge as we had to get into a taxi cab (soaking wet) to go on the next leg of our New York City tour -the One World Observatory, where I was still so wet that I ended up throwing my underpants away in the garbage just so I could dry out a little quicker. Don’t get me wrong, we had a very good time, but you will get wet. Enjoy!
