    Orion blows Diamondback away. It may not have as much airtime but it’s way more forceful. Orion’s speed hill is better than any one if Diamondbacks airtime hills.

    I find these ranking videos interesting, it is nice to see so many people’s perspectives. Honestly my favorite is The Beast. Sure, it may not be nearly as intense as Mystic Timbers but I just think it is a fun, beautiful ride - especially at night. The eerie sound the tunnels make as screams echo throughout the tiny wooden harbor is an inexplainable expirence.
    My favorite part of the ride will always be the second drop, it feels like you are losing control from the railing as your fly through the last two tunnels. Such an extraordinary expirence.
    I will forever love The Beast for what it is even if it doesn’t stand out as much within the park

      Especially at this park when everyone seems to rate coasters differently.

  • @thequackenscoasterchannel2927

    Pretty similar list to mine, at least when it comes to the coasters. I haven't been to their waterpark (not a waterpark person), but I'd swap Diamondback and Orion personally. I agree Banshee is great when it doesn't try to shake its bolts off, my ride in September wasn't horrible, but not as bad as my rides in 2019.

    I unfortunately only had time for coasters when I visited KI last June, as well as some rerides but here's my ranking:
    1. Orion
    2. Diamondback
    3. The Beast
    4. Blue Racer
    5. Red Racer
    6. Banshee
    7. Mystic Timbers
    8. Flight of Fear
    9. The Bat
    10. Backlot Stunt Coaster
    11. Adventure Express
    12. Invertigo
    13. Flying Ace Aerial Chase
    14. Woodstock Express.
    Retracked Racer surprised me the most, and I'm looking forward to retracked Beast. On the flip side, Mystic was the most disappointing of them all, I got almost no airtime and it made my hip sore for the rest of the week.

  • @oceanlinerguy.
    @oceanlinerguy. Před rokem +4

    My list of rides is decently different. I've never been a water ride fan, so this will include mostly coasters.
    1. The Racer. Yes, the 50 year old dueling coaster. For me, it has the best airtime in the entire place, it feels like your floating if you throw your hands up. Perfect mix positive and negative g-forces in my opinion, and the unexpected speed is insane. I'll never stop loving this coaster, and the asthetics at night with the red and blue light flow along the lift hill is a nice touch.
    2. The Orion. This coaster did have a short ride length, but the fact that the first drop leaves you hanging in the air for a second before the track slams you down is amazing. The speed is rediculous too.
    3. The Diamondback. This coaster is like the Orion, but it just keeps on going. Orion is done in an instant, but Diamondback just keeps pummeling you with airtime and the splashdown finale is incredible.
    4. Backlot Stunt Coaster. Yes, you read that right. This is a heckuva rough coaster. This thing slams you into turns and the launch sends you flying into a turn. This thing s the reason I'm "coaster crazy." I love rediculous coaster because this was the first coaster I ever rode. A powerhouse of a ride that'll beat you if you dont hold on tight.
    5. The Flight of Fear. This launch coaster throws you into a massive dark room and tosses you around like a bouncy ball in a small room. This ride has an unfortunately long wait though, and is a dizzying experience, as you can't tell if your right side up, or upside down.
    6. The Beast. This coaster is highly regarded for its fame, but really I think its overappreciated. Sure it set world records, and is a helluva ride, but it doesn't have much else. The helixed finale is the best part, and one of the best roller coaster finales in my opinion.
    7. The Banshee. This monster of a ride does have a rattle, and, like the Beast, is a bit overappreciated. It sends you back and forth, has a ton of g's which is good and bad. The positive g's squeeze the restraints tighter and makes the last bit of the ride unncomfortable. Still a good ride though.
    8. Drop Zone. This is the "King" of Kings Island. The tallest ride, just barely topping Orion and Windseeker, is dizzying to look at. It takes your breath away, literally. You cannot yell or scream no matter what as it drops. A bit underwhelming though, and it slows down pretty gently, so not the kind of ride for people who like jerky rides.
    9. The (new) Bat. Likely the shortest ride in the park, but it does have a good use of terrain and has some good moments. The lift hill is a bit dissapointing, and it is a little jerky, but its still a fun ride.
    10. The Invertigo. I like to call it "The Neck Breaker." If you're not careful, it shoves your head back when it reverses. Uncomfortable for the last bit, but still a fun, one-time-every-trip ride.
    At this point you may be asking "Where is Mystic Timbers?" Well, here it is.
    11. Mystic Timbers. Again, a good one-time-every-trip ride. The line can get quite long without fast pass plus, and it does, in my opinion, get a bit overrated. Sure, it's a good ride, but Diamondback just a few corners away and a quicker line kind of makes it a rare occurance.
    There you have it. :D

    I’m surprised how similar our lists are. The only real difference I have is my top 5.
    5 Banshee. Every ride for me is different sometimes it’s shaky other times it’s glass smooth. It would still top out at five for me though because of the restraints.
    4 The Beast. It’s The Beast it’s hard not to like it with the right expectations.
    3 Orion. I really like this coaster. It’s top ten in my rankings, but for me it feels a little bit too short.
    2 Diamondback. It easily has some of the best if not the best airtime in the park. To me it feels like more of a complete ride than Orion.
    1 Mystic Timbers. It is easily the best paced coaster in the park. The quick pops of ejector in the front row are awesome and going through the woods on a coaster is always fun.

    • @CanobieCoaster
      @CanobieCoaster  Před 2 lety

  • @OklahomaCoasterFan
    @OklahomaCoasterFan Před 2 lety +1

    Almost all my Vortex rides were in the next to last row, so not a wheel seat, and that drop was giving strong ejector airtime in the back. Maybe a full train was needed for ejector. The transitions were also smooth in that row with a full train. Riding it over and over on one of its final weekends with others who loved that ride more than me was a very memorable experience. It was the most fun I've had on any ride at KI, which is why it's still my favorite. Carolyn, one of the biggest fans of Vortex, operated the ride, and we rode it together after 1am on that visit. Last June, she was at the park off duty, and we were both about to ride the Bat when I recognized her. So we rode another Arrow several times together.
    I noticed that the B&Ms were running a lot smoother in 2021 as well. Banshee still had quite a rattle, but not as bad as before. Diamondback was dramatically better with the rattle compared to my 2018 & 2019 rides.

    • @CanobieCoaster
      @CanobieCoaster  Před 2 lety

      Very rarely do I have an issue with a wheel or non-wheel seat on steel coasters. The transitions were the biggest issue on that ride, but I ultimately did enjoy it.

    Kings Island is definitely one of the best parks in the world for several reasons but 1 main reason, it's ride collection. It's impossible to get board here, my personal favorite at the park is Diamondback with Mystic Timbers in second. Banshee is one I'd the best inverts. Invertigo is one of the most underated coasters for me. Also several flat rides like that absolutely fantastic drop tower, I love it as it offers amazing views and is very tall which gives a ton of adrenaline. So much to love here.

    This is a tough coaster lineup to rank as Kings Island has a number of solid coasters and rides. My favorites are Orion, Banshee, Mystic Timbers, Beast and Diamondback in the coaster department. I also enjoy Drop Tower, Delerium, and Shake Rattle and Roll. Even the supporting cast of coasters is quite good.

    @DoomPlague Před 2 lety

    Went to the park a ton in 2021 to make up for years missed. For me, I prefer Diamondback to Orion. Just so much floater airtime and I like flying over part of river town. Mystic is my favorite and its a great night ride. And the line seems to always empty out before closing.
    1. Mystic Timbers
    2. Diamondback
    3. Orion
    4. Banshee
    5. Flight of Fear. I've always loved being thrown around in the dark.
    6. Beast (typical ride. But the difference that a good rain makes on the Beast is phenomenal. It becomes an absurd ride)
    7. The Bat (underappreciated)
    8. White water canyon. I love river rapids rides, especially ones with smaller rafts that pick up good spin and speed.
    9. Backlot stunt coaster
    10. Adventure Express. I get why people don't like the lift at the end but I consider it a classic.
    11. Delirium
    12. Racer. Wish they would put one train backwards again.
    13. Race for your life Charlie Brown. It actually used to be better but a re-track years ago ruined my favorite part.
    14 Windseeker. Nice view and the breeze is great on a hot day.
    15. Invertigo
    16. Drop Tower
    17. Monster
    18. Shake Rattle n Roll
    19. Zephyr (flying carousel)
    20. Woodstock Express

    Leaving out Soak City because I haven’t been there in decades:
    1. Orion - Incredible how a giga coaster can be this underrated. It has roughly the same duration as many top-ranked coasters and people complain it’s too short. At least 4 fantastic airtime moments, the gray-out helix, incredible visuals, etc.
    2. Mystic Timbers
    3. Banshee
    4. The Beast
    5. Diamondback - I love it, but it’s overrated and a bit headache-inducing due to the roughness of the valleys.
    6. Flight of Fear
    7. Drop Tower
    8. The Bat
    9. The Racer
    10. Xtreme Skyflyer
    11. Backlot Stunt Coaster
    12. Congo Falls
    13. Adventure Express
    14. White Water Canyon
    15. Woodstock Express - My very first credit some time in the late ‘80s, way back when it was still Beastie. Rode it for the first time in decades last month and was surprised how solid of a ride it is.
    16. Delirium
    17. Invertigo
    18. Flying Ace Aerial Chase
    19. Eiffel Tower
    20. K.I. & Miami Valley Railroad
    21. The Great Pumpkin Coaster - Kiddie coaster, but it will always hold a special place in my heart as the first coaster I got to ride with my daughter.
    22. Viking Fury
    23. Kings Mills Antique Autos - Nostalgia, baby
    24. Windseeker
    25. Monster - I haven’t ridden this since I was a kid, but it was my first favorite ride.
    Honorable Mention to Boo Blasters on Boo Hill for some wholesome, silly fun.
    Ranking the top 5 defunct rides I remember:
    1. Vortex
    2. Firehawk
    3. King Cobra
    4. Son of Beast

    Just imagine the beast layout, with the smoothness of Mystic Timbers omg.
    This is pretty close to my list. I haven’t go a chance to ride the Orion yet. My top 5 would probably be
    1. The banshee
    2. Mystic Timbers
    3. Diamondback
    4. The Windseeker
    5. Invertigo, not really anything special but I’ve made core memories on this ride

    Imagine the history of Invertigo, the Vekoma invertigo at Kings Island and Flight Deck, the Vekoma SLC at Canada's Wonderland. Both coasters used the same over the shoulder restraints, but what were the differences between the two in ride experiences?

    I've never been to KI but when I 1st heard a complaint about Diamondback having a rattle I didn't believe it considering Banshee was newer but had gotten a reputation of having a rattle before Diamondback did, but over time more people complained about Diamondback having a rattle at which point I believe it did. My point is this: if you said the rattle isn't as prevalent in 2021 as it was in past years, that leads me to believe it got re-tracked sometime between the 2020 season and the 2021 season. Do you think that happened?
    Also: even if 1: Orion's drop is 20' less than Fury's and 2: the trains aren't as long as diamondback: Orion's drop is B&M's steepest at 85 degrees, and contoured better than any drop except perhaps Skyrush. Wille I personally don't think I'd like Orion better than Fury 325, Leviathan, Behemoth or Diamondback: there's a very strong case to be made that Orion has the best drop of any B&M coaster as well any giga and strata coaster by Intamin and Morgan, with the possible exception of Superman at SFMM, Red Force and Shambala in the back seat.
    I think my favourite 5 coasters at KI would be: 5: The beast; 4: Banshee; 3: Mystic Timbers; 2: Orion; 1: Diamondback. In 2021 I'd've chosen SFGA in New Jersey if El Toro didn't go down. My next priority after that would've been KI but it's not easy flying to Cincinnati from Vancouver and I also don't drive, and the same problem exists for my next most important park to visit after KI which is Carowinds: flights from Vancouver to Charlotte and/or back are as impermissible as it is flying from Vancouver to Cincinnati and back. My next park I plan to visit is SFGA in New Jersey which I'd wanted to go to in in 2020 but Covid prevented that, then in 2021 but El Toro went down. I've only been to SFGA N.J. twice; once in 1981 and the other time even earlier in 1977. SFGA in N.J. is my 1st priority because I've already been to Cedar Point in May 2018 and since then I've been to Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Alton Towers, SFMM, Knott's and Canada Wonderland. But I hope I can find a way to visit KI for the 1st time sometime within the next two years. Thanks for this video!

    The thing that puts diamondback at 1 for me is the night rides. Orion is lit up, but diamondback is completely dark. It's better than the beast at night (for real). If you're lucky and get one of the last trains you get to ride in darkness with fireworks! It is incredible.

    Unfortunately, a lot of the themed rides suffered when Cedar Fair had to remove Paramount’s themes, and Scooby-Doo. Race for Your Life Charlie Brown in particularly had WAY more theming when it was The Wild Thornberries River Adventure. Boo Blasters also would be fine without the Scooby-Doo theme if it wasn’t so poorly maintained. In addition to the targets that don’t work, I’ve also caught issues with the Boocifer animatronic. I’m guessing Cedar Fair just isn’t bothering because of how hard Disaster Transport went for them a little up north.
    I’m also shocked at Beast and Banshee being lower than I expected. I’d rank both of them over Diamondback and Orion, personally.
