    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.

    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,

    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

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 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.

    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.

    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

    Just got back from the park and had a great time on a monday with short waits. 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.
