Kings Island Coasters

Take your seat inside a mini cooper and be part of the film! You'll experience a police car chase, a helicopter shoot out scene, and a fun finale in the dark!
If you took away the theme you would be left with a pretty standard coaster that doesn't really offer much. The excellent theme makes this ride what it is. Well worth a go or four!

Celebrating over 30 years as the world's longest wooden coaster...it's no wonder this ride is of acclaimed ACE Classic status.  The rider is sent on a high speed trek through the woods and through two tunnels, echoing the rider's screams.  There is more than a 300 ft. difference between the height of the first drop to the lowest point in the ride, meaning the train just gets faster and faster. You get a slight breather up the second lift hill but that's soon over as you're plummeting down and around one of the wildest wooden coaster tracks in the world!

A small out and back coaster aimed at children or those that would rather ride tamer coasters. It features a tunnel after the first drop.    Previous names for this coaster include "Scooby Doo" and "Beastie".

Relocated from Geagua Lake, this Flying Dutchman coaster is a popular thrill ride which offers the experince of flight.  Riders are lowered into a lie down position and sent up the lift hill. Throughout the ride the train will invert 5 times, including a vertical loop and some inline twists.   Unlike B&M flying coasters, the rider is not resticted by other people's shoes. Every seat is designed so you can look stright ahead and see clearly. The comfortable restraints, good view and thrilling ride is enough to convince the rider that they are actually bird flying in the sky...just don't crap on the queue line below!

Smooth and fun, Flight Deck interacts heavily with the terrain by swinging very low to the ground.  Though it is a short ride, it still packs some fun speed and turns.

Meet the first magnetic launched coaster in the world, Flight of Fear. Themed to a secret hanger containing aliens, Flight of Fear is an intense ride in the dark featuring light effects and music. In total you will be inverted four times...and with just a lap bar for safety!

The station has a jail vibe to it, with large cages and sliding doors...enough to put anybody off!  Riders sit in groups of four, two side by side and two opposite. The ride starts by moving up the lift hill before rampaging through the station, through the cobra roll inversion and through a loop. Then it does it all again but backwards.     The ride does have a bit of ear bashing so make sure you brace yourself.

What you see in that photo is what you get. A tiny first drop and a few bunny hills. Adults can only ride of they accompany a child!

As with most racing coasters, two trains are set off at the same time and first one back to the station wins! It can be rough at the front, but more airtime can be found at the back. The ride is good in length but has no outstanding features.

A smooth family coaster suitable for all ages. It does not go upside down but has some good drops and turns. Worth the credit at least!

If you look at that photo you will see a vertical loop! Yes, the first and only wooden coaster with a loop. However, in 2006 the ride suffered some problmes which 'may' have been caused by the loop coupled with heavy trains. The coaster closed in mid 2006 and the loop was removed and lighter trains were added. It repopend in mid-2007.   As with it's father, you can expect a frantic ride that doesn't know when to quit (apart from the brake run, obviously!).

Son of Beast is currently "Standing but not operating" with a very uncertain future.

Vortex took the world record for most inversions upon opening in 1987 with its six staggering inversions over a 2 minute 30 second journey.  This is not a coaster for the faint hearted! It dips, dives, turns and inverts effortlessly with the height and direction changing rapidly. It can be a bit rough through the corkscrews (as to be expected with Arrow Multi-Loopers) but as long as you brace yourself and tense up, you'll love it!
