Coaster reviews

It has it's moments, but overall it's a pretty boring ride. "Tell them that, 'Even my wife who hates roller coasters was bored.'"

Intensity

This ride is shockingly intense. It arguably has the highest positive G's of any ride at King's Island. Ride it in the "back row" and you'll be shook.

Might be the worst mine ride I've ridden. Dull, painful, and not worth the wait.

Probably the best "kiddie" coaster I've been on.

Arguably the most painful roller coaster ever (definitely of the ones I've ridden). If it wasn't for the sheer back-wrecking pain, it probably wouldn't have been a terrible coaster.

Not sure how this ride is ranked as high as it is. My suspicion is that it's being bolstered by a lot of people who haven't ridden much else. It's not a "bad" ride, per se, but it has horrible pacing. The first half of the ride isn't too bad, but the entire second half is a slog. The second half is up there for the most bored I've been on a roller coaster. It's a shame because the first half isn't terrible.

First coaster I ever road. That's got to give it at least an extra star.

The launch is pretty intense, but the rest of the ride is blasé. It doesn't help that this often has the longest queue time of any ride at King's Island.

The best suspended coaster out there. It's pretty short, but while it lasts it's actually a fun little ride. It even hits you with some positive G's on the helix towards the ends.

Not a great ride, by any means, but I never thought this was as uncomfortable as others say (so long as you don't get locked in a bad position). As others have mentioned, if this were at a different park, it probably would've had a better rep.

Inversions Rattle Headbanging

Honestly just not a fan of these B&M "invert machines." I've ridden several of them, and I just think they all set you up for a headache. On a side note, I'm a pretty small guy (5'10"/170), but the seats were pretty cramped. The first couple of inversions were alright, but the back half felt pretty pointless.

The double upward helix actually pumps out some pretty solid positive G's. It was probably partially due to me being hot and dehydrated, but I actually started to gray out a little. Fun little family coaster.

Theming Nice surprise! Layout

The best mine ride out there! Obviously nothing crazy, but it's a fun ride, and worth taking the time to ride on a visit to King's Island.
