The ride experience on The Beast – Hulk vs. Thanos
The Beast combines arm movements and gondola rotations for an intense ride across several axes. A total of 24 guests ride in six gondolas and experience their seats changing position. The floor does not stay facing the same direction for long; your viewpoint changes with each movement. The design is based on the battle between Hulk and Thanos. From the edge, you can see how the rotations overlap. This is helpful, as the ride’s modest height alone does not show how intense it feels.

Tips for your visit
Pay particular attention to the freely moving gondolas as you watch. Their motion differs from that of a fixed ring of seats. Store loose items as instructed by the staff. Fares and participation conditions are set or displayed at each appearance. Before buying a ticket, ask about minimum height, age and whether a companion is required. Follow the instructions when boarding and store loose items as directed by the team.
