    The speed of Mystic Timbers is what makes it my top 1 as well. It never slows after the first drop, and that first drop is awesome the way it cuts back. Front and back seats both awesome.

      The pacing is phenomenal. I can't rank it higher than Orion. However, Mystic Timbers is better than any other coaster at KI.

      Just got on for the first time this Sunday. Went on mid-afternoon, it was hot as hell out, and the trim brake didn't hit at all. So glad I got to feel everything it had for me. Some of the strongest airtime I've ever felt and that was in the front row. Bonkers

  • @1RedHyena
    @1RedHyena Před 9 měsíci +1

    Awesome vid my man! I haven't been to Kings Island in like 25 years.....your list made me wanna revisit big time. Hope they keep the Racer around forever. Back in the day, before there were petty concerns like "rider safety", the restraint on The Racer consisted of one lone wooden bar that would click in place over your lap, not even halfway up your thighs. On the hills, when you'd get hang time, you'd be in danger of slipping up and out. You had to hold on to the bar. We used to joke, "How is this legal?" Ahhh....memories.
    That Woodstock coaster used to be called the "Beastie" I believe. And yeah, it was a fun little ride. I second your thoughts on the Beast being a different animal at night.
    The Beast is like a novel. It has plot. It has character development. And then at night, it turns into a horror novel. We always used to wait until dark to ride it during many summer trips to Kings Island. Really wanna ride all the new rides you've highlighted. Shame they got rid of the Vortex. Wondering if you ever rode that one?
    Again, thanks for the trip down memory lane,

  • @mitchellries256
    @mitchellries256 Před 8 měsíci +1

    My favorite roller coaster there is Orion, followed by Diamondback, Mystic Timbers, Beast, Banshee, Bat, Firehawk (R.I.P.), Flight of Fear, Backlot Stunt Coaster, Adventure Express, Racer, Vortex (R.I.P.), and Invertigo.

    Watching this in 2024! It kinda crazy because I watched this video when it came out, then went to Kings Island for the first time in 2024 and lots of the rides have changed with theming. Flying Ace Ariel Chase is no longer the name for the mini suspended coaster, and the color is no longer yellow. Adventure express had a new theme to tag along with adventure port and there is also much more!

    For The Bat ooh man I can’t recommend a backrow ride at night enough, it’s insane! Also to avoid head banging on this one lock your fingers together and hug the restraint, this will assure you don’t get head banging other than the very back car, that one is ruthless but it’s worth it!

  • @kennedy8791

    My favorite part of banshee is how floaty it feels but i respect your taste!!! Mystic timbers is probably my favorite in the park too. Maybe diamondback. I like orion, but i’m still getting over my fear of heights and for some reason diamondback does not scare me but orion does

  • @kd9lac803
    @kd9lac803 Před měsícem

    Mystic Timbers is my number four spot, but my top four are photo finishes and practically tie. It's also the only outdoor coaster they keep open during WinterFest since their steel coasters could have valleying issues in the cold. I love how MT is basically as smooth as a wooden coaster can get without making the jump to the RMC treatment

  • @aria_everglow
    @aria_everglow Před 10 měsíci

    Nice! My top three are - banshee, the beast, and diamondback. Mystic Timbers always has long lines and the ride is kinda short. I also kinda feel like it kinda of bland. Other than the back story and the shed is a little bit too similar to the beast. Like it’s a good ride and all and i respect that people say it’s the best. We all have our one opinions. It’s just i wish they added something else to the ride itself to make it more diffferent. But it’s still a great ride!! But this is just my opinion

  • @kellykredel2531
    @kellykredel2531 Před 9 měsíci

    Great video. I would like to ask because a lot of people say it. Where are you guys experiencing a rattle on banshee or diamondback? I'm so confused. But I always ride back row on both so maybe I'm not getting that so much

  • @thecutecheerleader11

  • @schumi246
    @schumi246 Před rokem +2

    For me, it’s:
    Diamondback
    Banshee
    Mystic timbers/Orion
    Beast
    The beast was still closed when I was there last year, but I’m pretty sure that’s where it would go. Mystic timbers and Orion are so different, I couldn’t decide between 3rd and 4th for them.
    6. Flight of fear
    7. The bat
    8. Racer
    9. Backlot
    10. Adventure express
    11. Woodstock express
    12. Flying ace, aerial chase
    13. Invertigo
    14. Great pumpkin. (Didn’t ride)
    Invertigo’s layout and seating are great, probably 8, but the restraints beat me up. If it had something like B&M’s vest restraints, it would probably be #8, maybe even 7. But, until then, it’s on my never agin list.

    • @cltcoasters

    The hype for mystic tembers was amazing, whenever I went to kings island before mystic tembers all I hear was “What’s in the shed?” Over, and over again. And I like the jumps are at the end and how it has “IN THE SHED” Written all over it. 10/10

    I would love to see an RMC wooden coaster sometime soon. Even if it’s a ground up coaster once RMC is better at making them in a few years. If not, I would be willing to make The Racer an RMC similar to Twisted Colossus.
    Here’s my top 5 as a local regular:
    1. Diamondback
    2. Banshee
    3. Orion
    4. Beast
    5. Mystic Timbers
    The only reason MT isn’t higher is because last time we went, I believe we either sat in a bad part of the train, or If my back was just stiff. But the ride just felt unbearably rough. We even rode the Beast (freshly retracked though) afterwards and it felt better than MT. When we go this year i’ll have to give it another shot because without the roughness we had, the ride is very thrilling and insanely fast. Your list is very good.

    • @cltcoasters

    Good list. My personal opinion is that the Beast has become basically un-rankable. It's a rare perfect ride for what it is, so it kind of belongs in a Hall of Fame separate from other coasters. It's like trying to rank "Casablanca" among best movies. There may be better movies out there, but there's only one Casablanca, and there will always only be one Beast. So I leave it alone when ranking.
    Aside from that, Mystic Timbers is the best, and Adventure Express holds a special place in my heart. I could ride it all day.

    1. The beast. Riding smooth now .even with too much brakes on certain parts its still one of the best and unique rides in the world.
    2 mystic timbers. It felt good upon my first ride but with every sucessive ride it felt better. Im a back row person but i noticed that coaster seems even better towards front.
    3 diamondback i love the layout and angle of the hills great for the back getting sucked over the tops. I do feel like the coaster seems a little slower than years back. Still great though
    4 orion. Great speed and a couple good airtime. Very smooth and comfy
    5 flight of fear. Unique ride with great beginning and end
    6 racer. Used to love it but feels way slower than many years back. At least it doesnt break your back now.

    I'm afraid of coasters, so the most I can handle is Mystic timbers. Here is my list of the 8 I've ridden! Mystic timbers, the bat,
    8. The great pumpkin coaster
    It's a good first coaster, but it's not my type.
    7. Flying ace
    It's a very great inverted coaster! It's not that good to make it higher in the list, though.
    6. Woodstock express
    I remember I loved this coaster, used to be my favorite, but now, I don't think it holds that well. They should rename it to Beastie!
    5. Backlot stunt coaster
    I love this coaster! But I think the ride is too forceful.
    4. Adventure express
    The ride is rough, but overall a great coaster! I don't know how it got here though.
    3. Racer
    You cannot go to Kings Island without riding the good ol' Racer. It's an enjoyable ride experience and the airtime makes you go airborne if you're a smaller kid. It's a great coaster, I love it, we all love it.
    2. The Bat
    This ride is amazing. It whips you around so much! It's not too forceful and I love it.
    1. Mystic Timbers
    The first time a rode it, I was so flabbergasted after I rode it. It starts fast and never slows down. It's a great ride we all love and I love.
    The appearance of Flight of fear, The Beast, Orion, Diamondback, Invertigo, and the other one I forgot look phenomenal, but I'm too scared to ride them.

    I dont know whats wrong with me but I feel like Mystic Timbers is seriously over hyped, even before the retrack I feel like the Beast just blows it out of the water. MT's fatal flaw for me has always been its length, I feel like the best part of most wooden coasters is how much longer they usually are, and for MT I just dont get that. I think I also just have a sour feeling from having to wait in the shed for 7 minutes the first time I rode it. I will say the sustained speed is definitely Mystic Timber's strongest aspect but I would still probably put it at 5 or 6 for a KI ranking.
