Ride experience
After the train has been moved to the horizontal position and is dispatched from the station, depending on which train is in (The Flying Beast has two station), the train will either make a left or right s-bend towards the 170-foot (52 m) lift hill. Once at the top, the train makes a sharp 111-foot (34 m) downward right turn reaching a maximum speed of 62 miles per hour (100 km/h). After the train makes it to the drop, the train makes an upward right turn leading into the first inversion, the recording breaking 124-foot (38 m) pretzel loop. Upon exiting the pretzel loop, the train goes through a 84-foot (26 m) horseshoe. Next, the train makes a download left turn immediately followed by an upward left turn into a 96-foot (29 m) zero-gravity roll. After the train exits the roll, it drops back down going through a 103-foot (31 m) tall corkscrew. Following a left turn, the train goes through an inline twist. The train then makes a 135 degree downward right turn before rising back up slightly and going through a mid-course brake run. After exiting the brake run, the train makes a slight downward and upward left turn leading into the final brake run. The train then enters one of the two stations where the trains were put back into the vertical position for the riders to load and unload.

Trains
The Flying Beast operates with three steel and fiberglass trains. Each train has eight cars that can seat four seat four riders in a single row for 32 riders per train. Each seat has its own over-the-shoulder restraints and a pair of ankle restraints to hold riders' feet in place. The trains were painted green, yellow, orange, and red.

In the station, the trains are oriented in a vertical position in order to allow riders to board. Once the restraints are locked, the train seats were rotated forward 90 degrees into a horizontal and the train is then dispatched from the station. When the train returns to the station, the seats rotate back down disembark for the next guests.

Track
The track is colored red and yellow while the supports are orange
