Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ticket or is my phone enough?
Your mobile ticket is all you need. Show it on your phone screen at the gate and proceed directly to boarding.
What happens if it rains on the day?
The Beast does not operate in rain. If your ride is cancelled due to weather, you can rebook for another time or receive a full refund.
Can I bring my toddler on board?
Children under 3 years old or shorter than 102 cm are not permitted on The Beast. Children must also be able to sit independently in their own seat.
Is this suitable if I'm pregnant or have a back condition?
This ride is not recommended for pregnant travellers or anyone with heart conditions or back injuries, due to the high-speed, high-impact nature of the experience.
Can I choose my seat on the boat?
Seats are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis once you board. Your reserved ticket guarantees your place on the departure — not a specific seat.
How early should I arrive at Pier 83?
Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before your scheduled departure to allow time for security checks and boarding.
