I've ridden a dragster where you accelerate from 0-120 mph in 2.8 seconds. But the acceleration on Maxx Force just seems like the fastest I've ever experienced. The launch was intense and the ride is fun, but it suffers from the same problem that top thrill dragster did. The duration of the dragster ride was 30 seconds long, and Maxx Force is even shorter at 23 seconds. Top Thrill Dragster realized that and made their 30-second ride a 2-minute ride.

Gatekeeper was my first wing- coaster so I was instantly in love, but now I've been on more wing coasters and better wing coaster but Gatekeeper is still so smooth and the near misses are still incredible I'll always love Gatekeeper

It's a classic what can I say I love the T bar restraints the ride some how feels faster than it actually is, I believe the Omega side is better than Alpha but their both fun both thrilling and the darkness amplifies the strong laterals some might say it's overrated but it's something everyone should experience.

I loved king Cobra I was very young so that first drop followed by the loop all while standing up was madness wow. I was scared and loved it all at the same time over the years it wasn't as enjoyable but I still got a ride every time I could.

The first drop is good and you get airtime on Raven unlike legend, the view of the lake is great but that's where it starts to get really rough. The a...

The first drop is good and you get airtime on Raven unlike legend, the view of the lake is great but that's where it starts to get really rough. The airtime hills are nice it's an overall good ride that could be alot better

Hey I love this ride the theming the surprising intensity night rides are great as well. Yes it can be a little rough but it doesn't bother me at all it's a must ride every time I'm at kings island

The Beast is beloved for its historical significance, but personally, I don't hold it in high regard. It's always been a rough ride, but at least when I was younger, it didn't have all those trims. It was intense and tore through the woods. Not any more so ill pass on the Beast most of the time.

Firehawk was my first flying coaster and the experience was different. Of course now I've been on better flying coasters but not quite like this one I think maybe only Batwing at six flags America is anything like firehawk was. It had to go so Orion could come so goodbye.

I was 16 when I returned to Islands of Adventure. Now that I was older and more experienced with coasters, I see that the ride changed to Dragon Challenge I also noticed that the ride was really short like under a minute, didn’t notice that on my first ride because I thought that I was going to die. This vist I was able to appreciate the unique layout and this time enjoy multiple rides. Thankfully the coasters were still dueling this was in 2010. I never robe it again after that day but I couldn't imagine it not dueling the near misses were a major factor in it's intensity and the fear of crashing. It's just the best B&M invert to this day if you never rode it you just can’t imagine the forces near misses and what looked like head-on collisions, then boom a vertical loop, and then again another near miss I thought my feet were gone and now back to back corkscrew’s so much forces we’re givin. I'm not sure if they ever make a ride like that again.

Dueling Dragons scared the shit out of me when I was little. I had only been on the Vortex at kings island around this time and I was truly scared. I only got to ride it once that day and I thought I was gonna to fall out I just knew we were going to hit the other train then I almost blacked out but another inversion kept me up it was insane forceful and enjoyable. I knew nothing about elements back then or positive and negative G’s I just knew the ride I just got off of shouldn't exist. But I never forget about that ride, years later I came back and it's called Dragon Challenge I got more than one ride that day.

Nice ride but it’s crazy that they only run one train on busy days, I’ll probably never get on this ride again so eventually it’ll fall and fall in my...

Short but oh-so-sweet Amazing launch and the 420ft drop was intense and insane wow what a great experience On Your first ride you don’t know how you're going to really respond to all the forces coming at you but after multiple rides, you get to enjoy the view from the tallest coaster in Ohio The launch is spectacular the acceleration from 0-120mph is so intense that you're going to want to do it again now that your adrenaline is pumping the ride is smooth and the lap bars are comfortable. Now with the drop I wish it was like Red Force and did not have the loop on the drop-down so you could feel the 420ft drop. The only cons are that the ride is only 17 seconds and Top Thrill Dragster is just not reliable this 420ft structure was placed right on Lake Erie and I’ve seen it shut down for high winds. We're spoiled in Ohio we have 2 Giga coasters and a great Strata Coaster with top thrill, now what other state can say that? Four and a half star coaster

Iron Gwazi is KING The 91-degree drop is amazing I mean it's my favorite drop because it feels and looks so steep. Then the outer bank turn when your sitting in the front row I thought I was going to be ejected seriously I didn't get that feeling in the back row. Then the 540- Degree Roll was followed by a Wave Turn with great speed and pacing for the upcoming Zero-G Stall I was amazed and then here came some bunny hops. Throughout the ride, the Pacing was nonstop, from start to finish great laterals great airtime wave turns Outer Banks cut-backs death roll final drop giving great ejector airtime. So after 33 rides over my week visit, I can finally say that Steel Vengeance has lost its number 1 spot in my opinion. Finally, a ride knocked Steel Vengeance off my number 1 spot. Iron Gwazi's first drop is unmatched and from there on it’s constant madness and I love it. Yes the ride could be longer and if you pick Steel Vengeance as your number 1 because it's a little bit longer I can't even get mad at you. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Steel Vengeance it's a perfect coaster with a great 90-degree drop then incredible pacing, and ejector airtime with intensity the outer bank hill is one of the best I've ever experienced on any ride. It changes direction on a dime while flying through wave turns and cut-backs. The fast-paced Zero-G Roll going into the structure is amazing The entire second half of the ride throws you around so much you don't know which way is up by the time you get off the ride. Ending with bunny hills (ejector airtime) laterals and a wave turn giving sideways airtime with that being said I Just wish it still ran all three trains but I understand why they aren't. Now my only Con has nothing to do with the ride itself but more to do with Cedar Fair, Fast Lane Plus cost a lot and it was worth it years ago because Fast Lane had a dedicated line to the platform. But now Fast Lane gets blended in with the general queue so early and it's even slower now with the metal detectors, I feel like Fast Lane Plus isn't worth the $150+ anymore they should drop the price since they have a major drop in the experience. Still a Five Star Coaster ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
