What Is YOUR Favorite Roller Coaster At Kings Island And WHY Is That YOUR Favorite? (past or present)

The Racers

Why? Because I've rode them over 150 times.

What made you want to ride it 150 times?

I picked DB because of the line speed, restrains, air time, and the awesome number of drops.

Diamondback, why? Because it has a lot of sentimental value to me and its just a fun coaster to ride over and over again. And its the coaster Ive rode the most...

I've ridden The Racers 150 116 (I had to find my topic to remember the exact number haha) times in one day no big deal or anything.

It was for Coasting for Kids Last year....Oh beilieve me...i felt it the next day!

What made you want to ride it 150 times?

It was the only ride that didn't have a long wait.

How many of these what is fav. coaster at KI topics are we going to have?

^Most likely a million...

150 times in 1 day?

150 times in 1 day?

Yes, I rode The Racer 150 times in a day

Alright then...

The Beast, because I've ridden it more times than Don Helbig has ridden..... uh, ...the Space Shuttle

Seriously, it's more fun for me now because there is always that 'first-time' coaster rider who freaks out at the top of the lift hill. Never gets old.

I still freak out at the top of the hill. It's a steep drop into a tunnel that, from the top of the hill, I can cover with my thumbnail. I'm always anxious during the lift part of the coaster- it's like being in the dentist's chair, but the ride makes it worth it.

The Beast. The anticipation as you go down the hill into the double helix is simply amazing.

i have 3

mindbender @ sfog

• theres NO seat dividers
• there are a bunch of small airtime bumps
• & it makes a lot of tight turns that are fast but not too fast

• there is a hidden cliff feature
• it goes through the woods
• has a tunnel
• @ top of the hill, i can see the parking lot & jokingly go "I CAN SEE MY CAR FROM HERE!!!"

Two things: The topic is your favorite ONE coaster at Kings Island.

You are starting to scare me. I think we may have the same taste in coasters.

Terp, who thinks Raven is a legend of a coaster, well worth the voyage.

its hard to separate steel from wood, & the classification of coasters that double as a dark ride are in a category all there own. @ least in my book, also i dont need to go 70+mph around a parking lot to have fun. im all for the scenery & unique experiance that you can only get more than once ina blue moon by living close to said attraction. just glad to know there are others that enjoy my taste in amusement.

also, didnt see the part about Kings Island...

Again, kind sir, we agree. I have often wondered if I'd adore Tremors so much if I lived 20 miles from it. And now that the Georgia Cyclone is so handy to me, why have I only been to that park twice this summer?

Diamondback, because it's such an adrenaline rush. I still get that nervous excitement when I ride it.

Honestly? Since Beast is running rather poorly this year in my opinion, I'd have to say Adventure Express. Seriously.

My favorite roller coaster at Kings Island is Flight of Fear. And second, the Backlot Stunt Coaster.

Really!

^ I have to agree with you on that Backlot Stunt Coaster isn't a bad ride as i really enjoy the effects and dodging the police cars, plus it was my first launch coaster. Also i've had a coaster obsession with that ride before...

My List :

1. Son of Beast (if only it was open..)

2. Flight of Fear

3. Diamondback

4. Beast

5. Backlot Stunt Coaster

Vortex. I love the gut punch the first drop provides.

The Beast, it seriously cured my neck pain today when I rode it. But maybe not such a good idea for the future.

Since it's past or present. my favorite is The Beast in it's original form. I cherish the memory of being 9 years old and waiting in line by the lake waiting to ride the biggest roller coaster in the world. It w as something that was just really special to a kid that age at that time. Especially after my sister and I had saved up trading stamps for those KI tickets.

The Beast. To me this is the most sentimental roller coaster ever. Truly unique and built by our very own Kings Island (KECO) with no duplicates built anywhere else. Also, this was first major coaster I've ridden when I was only 6 years old. And of course this longest wooden rollercoaster doesn't get all of it's fame from "sentimental value". It's the fun bumpy ride through the woods topped of with a sick double helix finale that produces the other half of the "buzz".
