Fun Masterpiece Duration Capacity
You will probably wait 2 or more hours in line to ride this coaster thanks to Knott's absolutely awful operations, but it's worth it: this ride features an absolutely amazing layout, combining a first half full of large drops, then a second half full of airtime mixed in with awesome laterals. Don't forget the length... this ride never ends! Nowadays, it's pretty hard to get great rides on Ghostrider because the Millennium Flyers, which can't handle negative G's, make the airtime really inconsistent... however, I have gotten absolutely magical night rides in which the train flies through the midcourse drop off giving insane ejector, delivers strong floater during the 2nd half, has laterals during the 2nd half, first turn, and helix that leave you pinned to the side... one of the best experiences you can possibly get. I don't doubt that Ghostrider is one of the worlds best woodies.

First Drop Rattle Headbanging Discomfort
Ok so like it's really really rough. Roughest coaster I've ridden by miles. But hear me out, that first drop in the back is the greatest airtime moment I've ever felt. Best drop aswell. The power, strangeness, sharpness, and all around intensity of the first drop is something I have never felt before. The really sketch restraints help the feeling of death, I just can't put the drop into words. towards the front of the train it's kinda horrible in every way, but the back slaps for that one element.

Inversions Fun Layout
Amazing B&M Invert one of my favorites that I have ridden. With a great 7 inversions this ride never gets boring and every foot of track is well placed. It is starting to show its age with a tad bit of rattle but its not bad enough to put it as a con. Dispatches move pretty quick so you should be able to get on quickly and maybe even have chances at re rides. The highlight is definitely the loop over the chainlift and is satisfying to look at. Banshee is an amazing B&M Invert and is a must do when you visit Kings Island.

First Drop Inversions Intensity Discomfort
Giving 3 stars because it had a major improvement on the restraints since it was Mind Eraser, now there’s far less head banging making it ridable, it’s really efficient so the line is usually short and it rarely breaks down. The new color scheme is nice and stands out compared to some of the duller rides, and considering the other rides in the park it’s actually pretty good with 5 inversions including a double corkscrew which is unique from any of the other rides here. Of course there’s a lot of other SLCs and this is probably not near the best one out there, but for what the park has it’s a decent ride with a good amount of inversions so if there’s a short line its worth riding

Capacity Fun
Fun wooden coaster. I like the whole dueling coasters concept. The ride is sort of out of the way compared to the other attractions. I feel like it has a solid capacity since it runs two coasters at the same time.
