Inversiones Hangtime Arnés Tiempo muerto

My first trip to Kings Island was the weekend of the announcement that this relic of my defunct home park would close at the end of the season. I'm thrilled that I made the trip, but not because of Firehawk itself. The loop offered incredible hangtime, but the rest of the course meandered around while my chest was crushed by the bulky vest restraints. I'm thankful to this coaster for getting me to Kings Island, but I'm not wearing the nostalgia goggles about this one - especially with the plot being used for a giga coaster next season.

Launch Intensidad Tiempo muerto

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.

Intensidad Suavidad

It doesn't hold a candle to its RMC-converted cousin in Charlotte, but the retracked section is butter smooth and the trademark CCI forces make it a pretty intense ride.

Situación Fun

A fun, picturesque family mine train.

Fun Intensidad Suavidad

Invertigo was smooth, forceful, and fun.

Inversiones Torta Tiempo muerto

Much better as a floorless than a stand-up, but it's really not an exciting ride. The corkscrew off of the brake run is one of the worst, most painful transitions I've felt on a B&M coaster.

Airtimes Fun

Fun enough, though it felt like a knockoff of Racer at Kings Island without the recent trackwork. It wasn't exactly rough, but several of the transitions felt like the train hit a pothole.

Situación Launch

The launches are forceful and fun, and the twisted spikes give great views of the beach and lake.

Launch Intensidad

A solid launch coaster with some odd elements and a couple of incredible handchoppers. The spaghetti bowl layout was fun if not exactly awe-inspiring.

The ride was fun but lackluster until the loop, which packed a lot of force. The trains and restraints are a marked improvement to the Flying Dutchman, but this is a shadow of what the ride type seems capable of.
