No — your mobile ticket is accepted at the pier. A screenshot as backup is a sensible precaution.
What happens if it rains on the day?
The Beast does not operate in rain. If your ride is cancelled, you can rebook for another time or receive a full refund.
Can my toddler come on the ride?

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.
Are seats assigned, or is it first come, first served on board?
Your ticket reserves your place on a specific departure, but seats on the boat are taken on a first-come, first-served basis once you board. Arriving early gives you the best pick.
How far in advance should I arrive at the pier?
Aim to be at Pier 16 at least 30 minutes before your departure time to allow for security checks and boarding.
