.:.Backlot Stunt Coaster

You are the stunt car driver for the climactic action scene of a new blockbuster movie. Climb aboard your own Mini Cooper and peel out through a parking garage, dodge near-collisions, race down stairs, and escape from the explosions set of by a menacing helicopter shooting machine guns at you by racing through a sewer tunnel and finally splashing down into an LA aqueduct. All in a days work as a stunt car driver!

Central Tip: If you sit in the front seat of this attraction, you get an awesome sensation of ejector airtime before entering the stairs scene. On the other hand, the best view for the climactic warehouse scene is towards the rear of the train.

Nice Theme, Boring ride.

The statistics show me that this is not thrilling in the sense of speed and height and it relies on its theme but its still something to ride.+ I have never been on a coaster that has fire in its theming.

Jackson :

You obviously havent ridden Volcano at Kings Dominion.
Anyway, it's still pretty fun, only on the themeing, though.

I hate the name of the Italian Job coaster i mean Back Lot Stunt Coaster Really

Jackson :

Posted 715 days ago

Hey, Gary. The name is one of the most irrelevent parts of the ride.
If you feel that strong about it, then just call it:
Steel Coaster!

This is one of my favorite rides in the park and there may be signs up that say " you will get wet " YEAH RIGHT!!! No you don't get wet at all they even drained the water out of it when Cedar Fair changed the name. I have to ride this ride every time I come ( which is like 20 a season ) It's my all time favorite ride there!! But you may have to wait a while the longest Ive ever had to wait is about 1 hour and 30 minutes. And there are yellow tents where the line may go if it's crowded don't ride it if it's in the yellow tents. Make sure you ride it first bc it's near the back of the park and everyone usually goes to the Nickelodeon Area or the Thrill Park place first.

WAHOOOO!!! :

i love this ride! it is not scary and it is really fun and the theming is pretty cool too! i remember when it first opened i had to wait in like a 2 hour line!!

nick berry :

its my second favorite ride i know it was my first but now the vortex is my first favorite ride

This ride is so deceiving. I thought it was a kids' ride but then I went on it and it did the launch, the helix and all the breakneck turns, the part in the pitch black tunnel and dove UNDER the queue.. I was like WHOA WHAT THE HECK?? It was more than I expected, and IMO one of the most fun rides in the park.

Justin :

I love this ride...not so thrilling...but I just like the theme. I LOVE when you go inside the sewer or whatever it is and it's pitch black. I remember when I was 6 I rode this and I screamed like a girl...now I'm 10, and it's pretty fun.

Julia :

This was my favorite ride at Kings Island i dont know why people think its boring it was the best ride there

it's a good family coaster, but it needs to be longer. and faster. and go upside down. oh yea and i blacked out on this because the sun got in my eyes??? i know never saw it comin. i remember telling my friend "I CANT SEE!" while she laughed at me.

I'll still never forgive this attraction and Paramount for destroying one of the most beautiful areas of the park and replacing it with a gravel pit and rusty shipping containers. Not to mention displacing and removing two original KI and Cincy attractions.

Italian Job Stunt Track is the best coaster I have ever ridden! Most of the people in my family don't like it because they say it is jerks them around to much. How could anybody think that?

allison blackburn :

Billie :

Posted 267 days ago

It goes a lot faster than i thought it would go, at the beginning. And when you spiral up i opened my eyes and it so so so so so blurry!! Going in the sewer was the easiest part for me... and i didn't get wet...and i think the name is too long! BUT IT WAS REALLY REALLY FUN, I RECOMMEND THIS RIDE TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR SOME FUN AND A THRILL!!

I've rode it twice, once in 07 and once in 08. the first time the water worked but now it dont work

Hey, WAHOOOO, I didn't need to hold on to my glasses, and I wear glasses so I should know about it.

Philosoraptor :

Eh, it's not a bad ride. The waiting queue is much, much longer of a wait than it should be, though. I didn't dislike it the first time I rode it, but I haven't ridden it since because the line was ridiculous.

kara :

*comes back* i love the first helix! i think the first launch is better but i like both, and i love the second tunnel.

jimmy :

Posted 132 days ago

this is a real fun coaster! I love sitting in the front seat. The best part of this ride is the launch at 40mph.

kat :

I have to agree with Jackson "Nice Theme, boring ride"
The wait time is not worth it, but only if the queue is empty.
