I will ride any coaster anywhere .

 

If you've never been there, you need to go to Cedar Point.

Agreed completely. Cedar Point has 16 coasters compared to Kings Island's 11, more than half of Cedar Point's have held some kind of title (tallest, fastest, etc) at the time that they were built.

 

• GateKeeper (2013) It is the highest and longest wing coaster as well as having the highest inversion on any roller coaster in the world.
  
• Gemini (1978) A steel racing roller coaster with a wooden structure. It was the tallest, fastest and steepest roller coaster in the world when it opened.
  
• Magnum XL-200 (1989) A steel hyper roller coaster. It was the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world when it opened.
  
• Mantis (1996) A steel stand-up roller coaster. It was the tallest, fastest and steepest stand up roller coaster in the world when it opened.
  
• Mean Streak (1991) A wooden roller coaster. It was the tallest and fastest wooden roller coaster in the world when it opened.
  
• Millennium Force (2000) A steel giga roller coaster. It set several records when it opened such as tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world.
  
• Raptor (1994) A steel inverted roller coaster. It was the tallest, fastest and longest inverted roller coaster in the world when it opened. It was also the first inverted roller coaster with a cobra roll.
  
• Top Thrill Dragster (2003) A steel strata accelerator roller coaster. It was the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world when it opened.
  
• Wicked Twister (2002) A steel inverted impulse roller coaster. It is currently the tallest and fastest Impulse roller coaster in the world.
  

- The Jumbo Jet was the fastest electric spiral lift coaster in the world when built. Gate keeper stands where the Jumbo jet once stood.

 

- The corkscrew design on The Corkscrew was the first of it's kind also, it was the first coaster to invert the passengers 3 times.

 

- The Maverick was the first to use the twisted horseshoe design, which is pretty cool.

Most expensive coaster ever at KI, The Banshee will have a sticker price of 24 mill.

I got chills watching it :lol2:

Used to love riding roller coasters....Now I ride 2-3 max and my back won't allow me to continue. This one looks pretty cool too. :idunno:

Just part of getting older. I have made close to 30 trips to Kings Island. Last time I went, 14 months ago, I think I rode 5 rides and had enough for the day. I am becoming more of weenie the older I get. The newer coasters are more smooth, however. The Diamondback is really nice and does not beat you down too harshly. After the Beast on a wet track or the Vortex I feel like I just got in to a fight.

Diamondback is awesome. Extremely smooth.

That sim was awesome. I'm looking forward to that one!

That's the prob it only glides. The Banshee is going to redeem KI.

Crap, another ride I have to come up with an excuse not to ride.
