Dan Diez Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I am going to on May2nd and only have a small amount of time and was wondering what are the five must ride coasters at the park? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Attack! Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 The Beast Firehawk Son of Beast Delirium Flight of Fear If I were you I would ride them in the order of Son of Beast, Delirium, Flight of Fear, Firehawk, and a night ride on The Beast!

The Interpreter Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 The Beast Firehawk Son of Beast Delirium Flight of Fear If I were you I would ride them in the order of Son of Beast, Delirium, Flight of Fear, Firehawk, and a night ride on The Beast! Delirium is a coaster??? He asked for the five must ride coasters. They are, in order, for me, given the park's reputation, popularity, and the ride's qualities: 1. Beast 2. Adventure Express 3. Firehawk 4. Vortex 5. Flight of Fear Under NO circumstances would I miss Adventure Express, which I consider to be tied for second best mine ride train in the country. (First, for me, would be Road Runner Express at Six Flags Fiesta Texas...second is a tie between Adventure Express at Kings Island and Runaway Train at Six Flags Great Adventure).

TOPGUN1993 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Must Adventure Express Son of Beast (Front seat only) Vortex Red Racer Beast or Firehawk Skip Face/off Blue Racer Flight of Fear Italian Job Stunt Track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I don`t know. I`d put Flight of Fear on the must ride list at Kings Island. It definitely would go on a must ride list before Adventure Express in my opinion. The thrill factor and speed of Flight of Fear makes it a much more thrilling ride then what Adventure Express is.

Kawana Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 1. Beast 2. Vortex 3. Flight of Fear 4. Adventure Express 5. Flight Deck Call me an old softy if you must, but there's something about the older rides that I just love. ***Bonus ride if you have time------>Firehawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOPGUN1993 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 The thrill factor and speed of Flight of Fear makes it a much more thrilling ride then what Adventure Express is. A ride doesn't have to be thrilling to be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 No, you are right, and to each their own. I would simply rather ride Flight of Fear over Adventure Express if given a choice between those two attractions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iChase Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 No, you are right, and to each their own. I would simply rather ride Flight of Fear over Adventure Express if given a choice between those two attractions. Really, I probably would too. Although, I love AE.

Tomkatt7 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 It should be illegal to go to KI, and not ride The Racer. It's been there from the begining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odettekitrigisele Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 The Racer The Vortex Drop Tower Delirium ( an Absolute MUST) so fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :The Beast (A classic long woodie, fun!) Is Drop Zone still Drop Zone or was it changed to Drop Tower? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 ....Is Drop Zone still Drop Zone or was it changed to Drop Tower? It's: Drop Tower Scream Zone now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noraleesmom Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 The Beast - Even though its rough I enjoy the h...eck out of it Stunt Track Flight of Fear Firehawk Vortex! Ive never been on Drop Tower! The only ride in the park Ive never ridden! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear4thtrain Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 It should be illegal to go to KI, and not ride The Racer. It's been there from the begining. Considering the parks admission is 29.99-44.99. I think that people should be entitled to whatever they want to ride, not just the oldest coasters in the park. On another note, my top 5 are..... 1.The Beast 2.AE 3.Red Racer 4.Flight of Fear 5. Fairly Odd Coaster(Seriously, it may be small, but it IS FUN) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIfan73 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 1. The Beast 2. Flight Deck-I know she isn't much to look at anymore, but, just after The Beast, funnest ride in the park IMO. 3. Racer 4. Vortex 5. Son of Beast (even though I have "retired" from riding it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catzdrummer09 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 ^ I always thought it was a fun ride too but people always told me I was stupid. I guess it just needs to be lengthened badly. BUT ANYWAY 1. Son of Beast 2. Firehawk 3. Flight of Fear 4. Beast 5. Vortex Bonus if you have time: Backlot Stunt Coaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keysersoze Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I like coasters that are completely unique to a park, we really only have three that are like no other, 'The Beast", "SOB", and one of the best arrow loopers "Vortex". All three I ride everytime I'm in the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Racer is also unique..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rcfreak339 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 1st: Flight Deck 2nd: Son of Beast 3rd: The Racer 4th: Firehawk 5th: The Beast In that order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keysersoze Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Racer is also unique..... Rebel Yell at Kings Dominion is a copy, now I will give you that Racer is a few years older, and we have the ACE sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Rebel Yell is NOT a copy (nor is Thunder Road). This is a very common misconception. To begin with, the layouts are not the same. You couldn't put the motion theaters between the two parts of Rebel Yell as the coasters do not veer off from each other before changing direction to make the return run, as Racer does. See Rebel Yell here: http://www.rcdb.com/ig88.htm?picture=4 Compare Racer: http://www.rcdb.com/ig69.htm?picture=7 Rebel Yell is also much slower (56mph vs. 61mph, both measured when they opened), nearly fifty feet shorter in length, not as tall, and though shorter in length is a fifteen second longer ride. Rebel Yell is almost always much, much rougher, too. Having ridden both sets of coasters far more than 99 percent of the posters here (or more), I think I should know. By the way, I rode Racer the day it opened.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 1.The Beast 2.Firehawk 3.Flight of Fear 4.The Racers 5.Vortex Also a thrill ride to not miss is Drop Tower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lambertman Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Flight of Fear Firehawk Flight Deck Vortex The Beast In any order, except The Beast should be last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italianchef Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Flight of Fear (indoors and looping LIM), The Beast (longest wooden coaster in the world), The Racer (Red, Blue, or both), Flight Deck (flying coaster), and Vortex are my favorite 5 coasters at KI.
