The last ride....

Featured Replies

You have one more ride to ride at Kings Island. Ever. What would it be? Why?

-It must be at KI right now, and working. so, that excludes Firehawk and Son of Beast.

I'd have to say Vortex. The first drop (in the back seat for lots of airtime)..then the loops. Pretty much falling out of my seat in the corkscrews and the boomerang (or batwing, whatever its called). Man that would be a great last ride...at least i think so - what would your last ride be?

Preferably one that lasts about, say, forty years!

More seriously, of what is there now, Flight of Fear.

Front seat, either side. Or back seat, either side.

I'm not all that picky.

Of any ride ever at Kings Island? The Flying Eagles. On a non-windy day please.....and a nice long cycle!

I am going to go with slingshot, you get all fired up for that initial launch and when the ride is all said and done you have a prefect snapshot of the park and the skyline. Then when you get back down you get to see you video and remember the experience.

The International Street Skyline or the Coney Mall Skyline?

^I am going to have to agree. Except for one thing that i guarentte UncleHenry would want. A night ride.

Although I absolutely love The Vortex and it'd be a hard decision for me to make, I think I'd have to go with The Beast. As stated above, there's nothing like the feeling after a great ride on the legend.

Thrill Ride would have to be The Beast with Fog falling over the track. Either early morning or twilight. Of any ride it would have to be the train in the evening back when all the theming before Waterworks was built.

Mine would have to be one last ride with my wife on The Beast at about midnight.

The Eiffel Tower. That way I can look around at each ride and remember the last time I was on it.

I'll have to agree with the majority of the posters so far. When you think KI, you think of The Beast. Not only is it a great ride but if it's going to be the last of my life I'm going to want to go on a nice long ride. A close second for me would be Vortex. Both of those coasters are classic.

Psh, Beast at 1 AM is SO much cooler than Beast at midnight!

2:00 AM front seat of The Beast during October is not very fun.............

So the best time would be between 1 and 2 but only if there's fog?

Last ride of my life.... last ride of the night on Beast on an early autumn night. W O W!!!

The cool air, the smell of trees beginning to turn, the roar of the train in the dark. What a thrill!!

I was born on April 13 1979, so I have to go with The Beast. On my birthday or Beast's. Better yet, I could start the ride on mine and end it on Beast's. Yea that would work.

After more than 500 rides during 2006 with my daughter, I have to say Beast...

Particularly early morning or late evening (around sunset) with the fog over the tracks.

Pretty sure that I'll be on a flight down to Disney World, to get my last ride on Splash Mountain!

But, since thats not the topic, and I dont want to be a 'homer' Im going to say night ride, with fog, on Top Gun!

Splash Mountain would be amazing at night while Wishes is going on.

Mine would be (a tie). The Beast ride from 2am till about 4 am non stop:

the Log flume at Knotts berry farm any time its incredible!

That is a very hard choice. I'm a big Vortex fan...... but a ledgend like The Beast would be better if it was the last at KI I would ever ride
