Yep. It's another poll by me.

This time around, I have gotten an idea: pick 2 or more coasters, and pit them against each other in a battle to see which coaster is enjoyed the most. That coaster wins the battle. I will try to not pick unfair battles, so you won't see a Voyage vs. Son of Beast battle(because Voyage would just run away with it). These will not, however, be limited to just KI coasters, but will often be KI vs. Other Coaster battles instead of just Other Coaster vs. Other Coaster...unless a really good battle comes up. I will create a page on this site under "other" where you can suggest future coaster battles. There will also be "Triple Threat", "Fatal 4 Way", or even "Battle Royal" coaster battles where up to six coasters duke it out! The next coaster battle will be Son of Beast vs. Mean Streak vs. Texas Giant in a triple threat match dubbed "Big, Rough, and Wooden". But I want this battle to get some attention for right now.

And for the first battle, I have chosen 2 "family thrill rides", both at Kings Island. Adventure Express against Backlot Stunt Coaster. Who will win this battle?

LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!

Here is the suggestion page for future battles. PLEASE, DO NOT LIST SUGGESTIONS ON THIS PAGE.

Adventure Express. I find BLSC to be way too short and boring, especially for the line it always has. The pyrotechnics (Spelling?) are quite dull, and the machinegun fire from the helicopter is way too loud.

Backlot for the win. You can get some decent air time on BLSC. Throw in a way under rated launch and the Mini's, and a pitch dark tunnel into a "pond"

Adventure Express is amazing, The third Best steel Coaster at Kings Island (DB#1, TG#2.) Backlot isn't really too good...

Oops. I made a unfair fight against BLSC. It's 5 to 1!

Oh well...BTW, CB #2:Big Rough & Wooden is now up if you wish to see that poll.

Arrow ftw

I have a soft spot for launched coasters. BLSC.

AE ftw. Best mine train coaster I've been on, hands down. BLSC is okay. But it also forced the removal of the eagles...

AE. Just cuz of the guys in the tunnel that make me laugh.

Wow I am really torn on this one since I have had lots of experience with both rides.

But, there is something special about AE and how it follows the landscape of the land around it. I also still consider AE to be one of the most under rated night rides at the park due to The Beast's popularity for night rides and everyone wanting to catch a night ride on DB. An added bonus is that AE barely has a line at that time of the night.

Adventure Express by far. Backlot's launch and helix are great and the pitch black tunnel is nice, but the rest is flat. Adventure Express is killer.

Definitely BLSC. Adventure Express is jerky, slow, and goes up a hill at the end that you think will go down. Boo.

The launch and upward helix on BLSC is greater than anything AE can offer.

AE, and what would really complete it is if they planted some big trees in between certain areas of the ride. It'd give it a more 'Jungle' feel. I still love it though, more than BLSC.

Adventure Express, i mean look at the name ADVENTURE also it is much longer than BLSC and its a walk on, evey time!

Adventure Express for the take down.

I didn't even bother riding BLSC the 1st two times I visited since it opened thinking it would be gimicky and boring. So wrong! I absolutely love it. It's just fun and makes me feel like a kid again.

Adventure Express is dated, aged, jerky and not very exciting.

If all the effects were working on BLSC, I bet it could give AE a run for it's money.

BLSC got knocked out

If all the effects were working on BLSC, I bet it could give AE a run for it's money.

And if AE had all the effects working... it would be close. But BLSC wins on the attempt.

"Triple Threat", "Fatal 4 Way", or even "Battle Royal"

I take it you're a fan of professional wrestling. Being one myself I couldn't help but notice.

Anyways, BLSC gets my vote. I constantly have to lean because of the jerkiness on AE. I also had to be put on muscle relaxants because I got my head lurched back thanks to AE's chain. I really don't know if I like BLSC or not except for the tunnel. That part I LOVE! That helix in the beginning is also FORCEFUL!

Just wondering, will there be a Vortex vs. Diamondback battle soon?

Are you kidding me? This shouldn't even be a poll. AE has two wicked awesome lift hill, a ton of turns, animatronics, Indiana Jones music for some reason?, and is themed well. What BLSC? Is themed around a Mini Cooper driving around a parking lot... ()

Seriously AE is better IMHO.

How is AE themed well? It doesn't even really have a theme.... . To add on to that, it's jerky, has a lame hill, and is old and not kept in very well shape IMO. BLSC is probably the best themed coaster in the park in my opinion..

How can yawl not love Adventure Express?!!!!?!!? It's most def. the 2nd best ride in the park (#1 DB)

How is AE themed well? It doesn't even really have a theme.... . To add on to that, it's jerky, has a lame hill, and is old...

Old? I have socks older than that coaster!

Terpy, whose head is still hurting...AE old? Sigh.

Dude... AE all the way! BLSC is really lame, I think it's for younger kids and tourists who get out to the park once a year..

I guess I'm one of the only ones who thinks BLSC is a great coaster and very fun... AE doesn't thrill me that much. So definetly Backlot Stunt Coaster.

I'm with you Brandon I do like Backlot

Your socks must be pretty old then, 'terpy'. LOL
