Backlot Stunt Coaster • Kings Island

Theming Nice surprise! Launch

Launch was fun and it was actually forceful for a family coaster

Theming Launch Fun

Think this may be my favorite Family Coaster out there to date. Amazing theming around the whole entire attraction. Its a copy which is fine but the best one is definitely this one. The launch is somewhat forceful into the helix which is great. But overall like I said this is my favorite family coaster and is a must do at Kings Island.

Theming Launch Intensity

This ride is a surprisingly intense family coaster. The first launch into the helix is pretty forceful and the helix itself pulls some pretty good Gs. The theme doesn’t really fit the park but for the ride itself it’d done pretty well. The indoor section is a lot of fun as well. Surprisingly good ride and one of the better family coasters I’ve ridden.

Launch Intensity Dead spots

Somewhere in the no-man's-land between a quality family ride and an intense launched coaster sits Backlot Stunt Coaster. A sharp banked transition leads into a tight and forceful helix that makes no bones about this ride not being fir the faint of heart, but then it seems to die into a tame experience. The ride can't seem to make up its mind on what it wants to be, and it suffers on both ends of the spectrum.

Intensity Tear it down! Pointless

This ugly coaster, while a decent launched family coaster, ruins the view from the Eiffel Tower of Coney Mall and Rivertown, and is an ugly reminder of how inept and out of touch Paramount was at managing theme parks: by making a coaster based on a movie nobody has seen or remembers. It doesn't fit into either section, and its prime spot on the hill should be given back to the antique cars.
