La vitesse et la fluidité d'un Wodan avec l'agressivité de Troy. Une fusion des deux et voilà comment je pourrais résumer Mystic Timbers ! Une bonne vitesse avec de bon airtime à la GCI et des transitions rapide et aggressive tout ça dans un confort et une fluidité incroyable pour un wooden ! Le layout est génial dans la forêt et la partie dark ride à la fin est rigolo (bien que très simple) et surtout différentes en fonction du train. Le meilleur GCI que j'ai ridé !

I really like this coaster. Not only is it a really really enjoyable ride (ESPECIALLY when ridden at night), but I personally like the theming being a sucker for haunted/ghostly themes. And yes that is despite the shed. Is the shed disappointing? Yes. It was fun as hell to sing along to “Maneater”, honestly a highlight of my trip. I also heard it plays “Cars” by Gary Numan, which gives it brownie points in my book

excellent. smooth and fun. i like the "abandoned logging company" theming, even though (spoilers ig) the projected monster at the end is kind of corny imo--i think the audio + lights flickering would ...

The glaze is actually crazy. Jokes aside, I think this ride is kind of overhyped. I always saw this ride as a solid #3 in the park, not a contender for the best ride at Kings Island. Like most GCIs, this ride has an amazing pace and great speed. The airtime is pretty good, but it's also really easy to get stapled. I'm not sure if anyone else notices this, but I felt the ride has developed a small rattle. It's not unbearable or anything, just kind of inconvenient. I think this ride is great, but not quite as good as so many people make it out to be.

My favorite GCI by far. The fast paced crossovers are excellent and all have a bit of airtime in there to compliment the laterals. Just a masterful layout. The shed leaves a bad taste in your mouth bu...

My favorite GCI by far. The fast paced crossovers are excellent and all have a bit of airtime in there to compliment the laterals. Just a masterful layout. The shed leaves a bad taste in your mouth but who cares?

It is genuinely baffling both how well this ride keeps its speed and how smooth it's managed to stay. This coaster has the best pacing of any woodie I've ridden and some solid airtime pops early on. The shed is also a very cute little way to end the ride—bopping your head along to "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" with a friend is just silly fun. This might be a controversial opinion, but I think Thunderhead at Dollywood actually has much stronger ejectors, so that ride remains my favorite GCI. Also, weirdly enough, it seems like the airtime on this one actually hits harder in the middle of the train, which is something I haven't seen before. 9.5/10 - why did the ride op on Racer tell me not to go in the shed did he know where he was

This ride is the most perfect ride ever. If there was only one ride left that I could ride one more time before I die, It would be this one. I love this ride and it awesome and in case you don't under...

Tout simplement une petite pépite de Wooden avec un layout à ras le sol très agréable, de nombreux floating intéressants et des changements de directions bien nerveux le tout avec une fluidité frôlant l'excellence ! J'ai bien aimé également le show de fin qui a le mérite de faire patienter les riders avant le retour en gare.

Absolutely fabulous wooden coaster from GCI. The first drop sitting on the right side at night after it’s warmed up all day is unreal, feels like you’re going to fly right off the tracks and die. Follow that up with a ton of low to the ground laterals and ejector pops at a pace that feels way faster than it has any right to, and you have a recipe for one of my favorite coasters ever. The four pops in a row before the turnaround are sublime

Un wooden agressif et nerveux avec de la vitesse, de l'airtime et du fun tout cela dans une fluidité parfaite. Incomparable avec les meilleurs GCI européens que sont Joris, Troy et Wodan. On est clairement 50 crans au dessus. Tout simplement le meilleur GCI.

this is an amazing gci woodie the airtime is incredible. The first drop does not look like much but in the back row it feels like a car crash and in the front row it feels like a twisted drop. and I love the shed the element of creep factor and randomness is super cool. Also, this thing flies no dead spots it just keeps that speed for the entire coaster credit no.100

Proof that a great coaster doesn't have to be super fast or tall. I love the snappy transitions and quick pops of air. Top 10 ride for me. The layout has a great mix of powerful ejectors, laterals and airtime. The train never slows down, whipping through the elements. Front seat in the dark feels completely out of control and so fast - like being strapped to a rocket - and it's one of my favorite coaster experiences. GCI designed a great ride here, even better than Renegade and Prowler, two GCIs I also love.

Rode it twice...might as well have been two different coasters. left side/2nd seat on ride one, right sight/back row on ride two. Ride one was fine, Ride Two was amazing. Wicked intensity pacing, and airtimes. Great layout...modest theming (despite concerted effort.) The first of three wooden coasters I rode at KI. Might be the best trio I've experienced, anywhere. Thunderhead still my favorite GCI.

A really good wooden coaster. And it is not nearly as rough as The Beast. It has a nice first drop, a very good layout and good theming (by US standards at least). I am not a particular fan of the GCI...

A really good wooden coaster. And it is not nearly as rough as The Beast. It has a nice first drop, a very good layout and good theming (by US standards at least). I am not a particular fan of the GCI lap bar though. All in all, Mystic Timbers is a very nice ride that I'd ride anytime.

The twisted first drop is a wild start to a wild ride full of quick, intense bursts of ejector airtime and lots of strong laterals. The pace is excellent and it doesn't let up even for a second until you slam into the final brake run. It rides about as smoothly as you could expect for a wood coaster this intense. I don't have much negative to say about this, but the only reason it didn't score higher is because I tend to prefer more elegant, graceful airtime such as that on most B&M hypercoasters. I did enjoy this though, and each re-ride left me liking it a bit more. I also loved the rhythmic "pff-ka-klunk" sound the brakes make as it pulls into the much-hyped shed much more than I probably should have. The only thing I have to complain about here is the lift hill, which is very jerky, loud, and has lots of torque flutter.

Amazing great first drop and so much airtime throughout the whole ride this one is up there with voyage and el toro for the best woodie out there in my opinion end was kinda weird but didn’t change the other elements of this ride

Ok it’s a good ride, smooth comfortable and really re rideable. First drop isn’t huge but with the aggressive twist it feels pretty intense. Maybe I was spoiled by gravity groups Ravine Flyer 2 the day before, but found the airtime kind of lacking on this one and rode it front and back on a hot day, later in the day. With all the hype I was a bit disappointed. Better airtime moments and it would be a 5

My favorite GCI. I love everything about this ride. It's full of airtime, it's got atmosphere, the trains are cool, the entrance plaza and sign are cool, and the shed is cool. It's super smooth and runs fast. Every hill out in the woods delivers. Super re-rideable as well.

It’s just pure adrenalin with nonstop pacing and elements. It’s a little too short, especially when compared to its neighbor The Beast, but it’s an excellent coaster at being super intense. It reminds me of the intensity of El Toro a little bit.

I’ve heard people say that this is the best GCI but I honestly don’t see it. It’s a fast paced airtime filled layout that runs smooth as glass, so what’s not to like? It’s too controlled, GCI is typically the master of making out out of control experiences chock full of everything laterals, airtime and some light positives, but this thing is just out and back hills and little else. The twister layouts that made GCI a success are far more entertaining.

This is almost the perfect wooden coaster. I mean, I would definitely prefer it bigger, faster, more intense (a la Voyage), but I have to respect just how approachable and enjoyable MT is for just about, well, everyone. In over a hundred rides, I don't think I've ever seen someone get off this disappointed or upset, it really hits the sweet spot between intensity and comfort. The track is holding up amazingly well. Great and sudden first drop, with good rear seat air on both big drops, followed by a ground-hugging assault of twists, turns and hills that ultimately take the train to within a foot of the lake surface, making maximum use of the typical ~100' GCI drop. The coaster setting is beautiful, with it traveling through woods, crossing the aforementioned lake twice and White Water Canyon six times. The shed might be overhyped, but what other ride lets you jam to 80s hits while waiting on the brakes?

WHAT’S IN THE SHED ? Nothing. Appart la déception de ne rien trouver dans l’ « abri », ce Wooden GCI est excellent, le confort est parfait pour un Wooden, manque juste un peu de longueur. En tout cas ça trace. Les airtimes sont dans la veine de ceux des GCI mais restent présents. Je pense presque le préférer à Troy : Mystic Timbers est moins intense mais bastonne beaucoup moins et on peut l’enchaîner.

Great wooden coaster full of a lot of small pops of airtime. I feel as if the ride was a little too overhyped to me since it does not hold up compared to the Gravity Group coasters I've ridden. I surprisingly enjoyed the front row more than the back on this attraction

Amazing coaster, I totally understand people saying it's the best GCI around. The twists and turns between all the airtime pops are fantastic. Fun ride overall, but night rides are something else entirely: in either the front or back row night rides are incredible fun and are unforgettable

Throw theming up there in the pros, I can’t add anymore. I don’t care how hyped the shed was, it’s a great ride, and I don’t care how OVERRATED the ride is, it’s a great ride. Seriously though, people have to chill with the rave reviews and talk about Diamondback, that’s something to rave about.

This is at my home park, and it’s probably my most ridden wooden coaster. I’ve ridden this in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night, and it’s almost always flying. It’s got plenty of great airtime moments and incredible pacing. Plus, it’s glass smooth for a woodie. This is an elite wooden coaster, go to KI and ride it!
