Controversial take: I live 40 min from Cedar Point but after my 5 initial visits last summer & fall, Kings Island is my new home park. I'm pissed at myself for waiting til after they tore down Vortex to go.
Oh man, I was there that day and one of your friends sat by me on Mystic Timbers. I thought that was you but I didn't want to say anything and be that guy (Oh My God! It's Russell Crowe). Anyway, love the channel, and how you can switch from being a coaster idiot to providing in-depth reviews.
can’t wait to go back to KI. haven’t been since 2009 or so. but i’m definitely going to miss Vortex. it makes me super sad to see arrow coasters get torn down.
I legit couldn't ride Vortex without a hat or a hood of some sort. I'm 5'1" so every single turn my head slammed into the shoulder restraints and by the end my ears would always be beat red and I'd get a horrible headache. When I had my hood up to soften the blows it was actually a kinda enjoyable ride, and my partner and I rode it like 7 times in a row because the line started at the building. Also, you rode the red racer which is a lot rougher than the blue one, I pretty sure it's the one that used to go backwards and that might be why it's rougher, but take that with a grain of salt. Flight of Fear is my favorite ride because of the theming, Kings Island doesn't have a lot of heavily themed rides so it stands out. I also like how it's in the dark, so all the turns are unexpected and no two rides feel the same. If you can't tell, I pretty much lived at Kings Island for two summers, lol. We had a food pass one year so we'd legit go there just go eat and maybe go on a ride or two by myself. Backlot is my second favorite also because of the theming, and also the FIRE. Particularly awesome at night.
Kings Island is my home park! Mason is actually my home town, and you can see my old high school (Kings, shocker) from the Eiffel tower. I used to walk to the park after class. I still have a season pass but probably won't visit again until 2021 because I have a newborn now.
Pretty light crowd for Kings Island. My local park I am there a few times a week. But seriously though I just can not believe that Kings Island is not the busiest park per days open in the entire world. I understand it is like 3rd or whatever in the highest earning, But per day. I usually can not find a SLOWER day there any more and 2020 will be even worse. BTW Fast Pass is not in the budget, So for me that is rarely if ever an option. Great content Ryan, Still a top fan. This was cool seeing you in my home park, I do not think you have but 1 other video (in the park) and maybe a 2 min stretch of another, and then your best video ever on the Beast. Such an awesome breakdown, a huge plus for sure.
I was actually there that day! I see you got a shot of Caroline at Vortex at 4:16. I got to ride Vortex with her at 1am earlier that day. After 8 rides on Vortex that day, I left at 2pm before it got horrible and went to Kentucky Kingdom.
I flew to Ohio to get on vortex before it closed on the last weekend it was opened I'm have to say I'm happy I got the credit it ran good for ride from 1987.
When did you film this? I realized that something was weird when you went to hersheypark and all the rides like skyrush and farenheight were open. Oh yeah: I'm claiming El Toro even though I literally rode it once last time I was at SFGA
Glad you guys made it KI is my hometown park and have loved it since my first trip out there. Me and my fiancé took our vacation and saw some of the parks Pennsylvania has to offer and Hershey park was mind blowing unfortunately we didn’t have nearly as good of an experience at Dorney park which we couldn’t believe because it’s a cedar fair park, either way I hope you enjoyed the park nothing like being the little cousin to cedar point Also did any of you ever get the chance to ride the Son of Beast when it was in operation? I’m always curious on coaster channels if they were able to ride the son as well as the original
Tennessee Tornado is probably the smoothest. But Demon is certainly a great Arrow looper! I love all the theming & the crazy airtime on the drop (riding in the back).
I was there that day and saw you guys at Racer at 8:31. Also next time you should ride Racer in the front row, the airtime is much better and it is smooth.
Okay. Bit of a comment with multiple points. First, holy shit we were at Kings Island on the same day. And we both got Fast Lane (wasn't interested in Plus). Next, holy shit I was also sleep deprived except not as much as you because I live in western Indiana and actually got some sleep the night before. Even though staying at the park for twelve hours and driving all the way back in one go was a really bad idea. Also, yes, Flight of Fear is definitely a one and done for me. Side note, night rides on Diamondback are the freaking bomb. Also, I'm gonna be that guy. At 6:25. That footage music. I must know the name of it. I've been curious for too long. Please. Please. Lastly, super great video. It's really great seeing the park I visit the most infused with Ryan-eqeue memes. Thanks for sharing.
Man I used to idolize this coaster as a kid, sad I'll never get to ride it, I finally have enough money and time to travel to some parks and I find out it's gone! Guess I'll be living vicariously through youtube videos lol. Should be going to KD soon to ride Anaconda at least, and I pray I get a chance to ride Viper but it's 2300 miles away
Nice one. I'll be over from Australia to Six Flags Great Adventure weekend 2nd to 4th October 2020 travelling solo..........if you're around for a catch up, and any hints and stuff, let me know!!
The fact that this is my home park and I have never seen it this crazy is shocking the longest line I have waited in here is 20 minutes for mystic timbers and 20 for diamondback
Got a laugh over the Flight of Fear comments. Yes, it was wicked with the over the shoulder restraints. Especially not being able to see when the elements were coming, you just got bashed into the harness repeatedly. Coming back into the station I pretty routinely saw some stars and that was usually a single ride per day coaster.
I'm too old for the sleep deprivation challenge, which is why I'd even be funnier than "uncle Nate". However: I am aware that would be very difficult to do.
as somebody that lives 2 hours away from King's Island I can't imagine driving an entire day just to go to King's Island. But I guess that's just cause 2 of the best amusement parks in the world are less than 3 hours from me so I've never had a reason to go farther for an amusement park.
Went there for 1 day October 2019 on a Saturday was the worst decision. Only rode 4 things delirium banshee Diamondback and mystic. And I wanted to ride the beast for ages but didn’t get to ride it😭
I went there on the last day of operation to try to ride to vortex, and the line was just way too long, I’m happy I got to ride it once back in May 2018, but I at least got footage of it. Rip Vortex :( Also, why is there tons of glitches in the footage?
Yo while riding the beast last year for my friends birthday(during covid) I noticed a piece of track from the vortex while riding it. It was just sitting there in the woods and it sucks that I came around coasters so late in my life so it means never in my life can I ride a ride like that. Still covid free btw😂
I know the tower in the centre of King's Island is supposed to be the Eiffel Tower, but it looks nothing like it, and is way too short. It's clearly Blackpool Tower, England 😁
ElToroRyan during a vlog: 'Suh dude"
ElToroRyan during a 20 minute long ride review: "how are you doing at this moment, good sir?"
I know it is pretty off topic but does anybody know of a good site to watch new series online ?
@Kelvin Tate i use flixzone. You can find it on google :)
@Hugo Beckham yup, I have been watching on FlixZone for years myself =)
@Hugo Beckham thanks, I signed up and it seems to work :D I really appreciate it!
@Kelvin Tate You are welcome :)
Does uncle Nate realize that he can’t chew it because it’s not a gumball?
It’s a *jawbreaker*
Can’t wait to head back to KI man, actually looking forward to Orion! 🧔🏻👨🏻🚀
LukeE94 Orion 287
That’s my home park
Honestly, Orion is boring
Controversial take: I live 40 min from Cedar Point but after my 5 initial visits last summer & fall, Kings Island is my new home park. I'm pissed at myself for waiting til after they tore down Vortex to go.
Kings Island is my home park and I love it 🥰
Vortex was amazing until the headache formed 😪
Oh mood, truth
he just didn't like flight of fear because he was scared to fall asleep in the dark in the station
Flight of fear was a damn good time
When you’re too serious to enjoy the video but u watch it anyway 🤣🤣 lol jk
Yep that's was me 😀
where were you when Vortex die
I was on couch eating funnel cake when i recieved phone call
Vortex is kil
no...
Zach Coaster crazy I was at a meeting for a club at college when I saw an article about Vortex’s end.
James Shewan it hurts to say it but.. r/woooosh
@@ConceptualCoasters Wow! Cool! You use reddit!
Phantom Coasters yooo phantom coasters, nice channel bro
I saw a big rainbow after I left Great Adventure for the first time. Those Beast jokes were great.
Dude it’s srsly a better day when u post. lmao no homo
Amazing quality video! Racer isn't that rough, c'mon! Such a classic .
DOUBLE RAINBOW ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE SKY!!! 😂
"They're stacking too to make sure the line goes extra fast" 😂
Sad to see all of the remaining Arrowdynamics coasters getting torn down.
Rip Vortex
I don't care how great it's running, the beast is best at night
I’m kinda bummed the news wasn’t out about Vortex when I went. Probably would have gone for a few more rides. Great video as usual!
Same thing happened to me but on wicked twister
Oh man, I was there that day and one of your friends sat by me on Mystic Timbers. I thought that was you but I didn't want to say anything and be that guy (Oh My God! It's Russell Crowe). Anyway, love the channel, and how you can switch from being a coaster idiot to providing in-depth reviews.
Had a rough day at work, this made things a little better
Great video mang. I actually love how these are so late it cheers me up because It’s the off-season
I went to mason for thanksgiving and passed by kings island, i was so happy to see vertical construction from the highway ☺️
can’t wait to go back to KI. haven’t been since 2009 or so. but i’m definitely going to miss Vortex. it makes me super sad to see arrow coasters get torn down.
You all leave FoF alone! Lol
My favorite ride at KI haha
The first (and last) time I rode Flight of Fear had me hopping over a puddle of vomit in the narrow hallway after the ride
Dude you inspire me to find a group of friends to go coaster riding with around the country it's my dream I love coaster so much I need more credits!
Little did I know I was at KI the same day as ElToroRyan. I appear in this twice.
i’m glad i can live vicariously through these vlogs during off season :) thx man
Well I know when to not go to Kings Island now lol, great video as always, and I can't wait to visit here for the first time.
For real though, those Windseekers have more downtime than TTD, Kingda Ka, and Lightning Rod combined. 😂
Man R.I.P vortex
LMFAO!! ElToroRyan, you’re officially my fav Roller Coaster TH-camr.. I’m super down with all the break runs 😂

i agree with pretty much everything you said :) i found red racer to run smoother on my trips though, i guess it’s just different for everybody

The fact that KI played taps at the last minute of the park being open is just salt in the wound that you’ve already put hand sanitizer on
Vortex always made me black out at the first corkscrew. I hadn't ridden it in a long time when they got rid of it. 🤣
Ive tasted the m******* rainbow and its glorious
"And enjoy your ride here on Vortex!", I still can't believe I'll never hear that again man.
I really like the *_suh dude_* saying lol

just rode banshee, 4 years later and the back row was RIPPING. by far the most intense experience at this park imo
i love jacob sm
I have a blue and pink version of the Super Dooper Looper shirt Nate is wearing! 💁🏻♀️
yo el toro straight up you one of those youtubers that deserve more subs your vids are great man definitely an underrated youtuber!! keep it up bro
I was actually there that day! I see you got a shot of Caroline at Vortex at 4:16. I got to ride Vortex with her at 1am earlier that day. After 8 rides on Vortex that day, I left at 2pm before it got horrible and went to Kentucky Kingdom.
Glad I got on it once before it was gone. Classic Arrow's are always good
RIP to Vortex.. but that ride always left me with a headache 😂🥴
I flew to Ohio to get on vortex before it closed on the last weekend it was opened I'm have to say I'm happy I got the credit it ran good for ride from 1987.
13:51 Shawshank Redemption music lol
Dude you have such a good home park. You got Six flags Great adventure while my home park is Michigan’s adventure
i get the struggle smh my home park is six flags america
Mine is Six Flags Stl. Not doing much better here lol.
R.I.P Vortex
Suh,,,props to your homie with the STL Blues beanie, props to your homie with the Hart Foundation shades,,see y’all at Busch FLA for Iron Gwazi
When u wake up and there's a new coaster idiots vid hell ya thanks bro
10:43 quote of the year
When did you film this? I realized that something was weird when you went to hersheypark and all the rides like skyrush and farenheight were open.
Oh yeah: I'm claiming El Toro even though I literally rode it once last time I was at SFGA
I think it was like 2nd to last Saturday of October. I was there at Kings Island that day and saw the CoasterIdiots there at Vortex
October 19th, and I'll give you Toro for 30 Teslas
ElToroRyan how about 30 Tesla toy cars, is that ok?
Glad you guys made it KI is my hometown park and have loved it since my first trip out there. Me and my fiancé took our vacation and saw some of the parks Pennsylvania has to offer and Hershey park was mind blowing unfortunately we didn’t have nearly as good of an experience at Dorney park which we couldn’t believe because it’s a cedar fair park, either way I hope you enjoyed the park nothing like being the little cousin to cedar point
Also did any of you ever get the chance to ride the Son of Beast when it was in operation? I’m always curious on coaster channels if they were able to ride the son as well as the original
The smoothest Arrow Looper is probably Demon at SFGAM.
Agree
*insert transition into corkscrews here*
Tennessee Tornado is probably the smoothest. But Demon is certainly a great Arrow looper! I love all the theming & the crazy airtime on the drop (riding in the back).
@@OklahomaCoasterFan True, it supprised me when I actually got some airtime on the drop, I sat in the middle.
Not uncle nate trying to bite into what was clearly a jaw breaker lol
Hey thanks for not being too confused after I saw you at mountain creek
Thanks for scanning my fake season pass!! 😂 nah jk I ain't a criminal
This was Cedar Point as well last year. Those gold passes brought INSANE crowds.
I was there that day and saw you guys at Racer at 8:31. Also next time you should ride Racer in the front row, the airtime is much better and it is smooth.
What day was he there?
@@Bit-By-Brick October 19, same day that cedar point hit capacity
Dang, I missed by one day. I was there October 20.
Okay. Bit of a comment with multiple points. First, holy shit we were at Kings Island on the same day. And we both got Fast Lane (wasn't interested in Plus). Next, holy shit I was also sleep deprived except not as much as you because I live in western Indiana and actually got some sleep the night before.

Also, I'm gonna be that guy. At 6:25. That footage music. I must know the name of it. I've been curious for too long. Please. Please.
Lastly, super great video. It's really great seeing the park I visit the most infused with Ryan-eqeue memes. Thanks for sharing.
thanks mang! song is in the link below th-cam.com/video/NDGxJoxNUpI/w-d-xo.html
I love flight of fear 😂😭
I have to say that sky in this video was beautiful
6:09 I have that same Twisted Colossus shirt, lmbo
Man I used to idolize this coaster as a kid, sad I'll never get to ride it, I finally have enough money and time to travel to some parks and I find out it's gone!

Wussah mangs great video as usual
I like how you publish videos months after you film them
Nice one. I'll be over from Australia to Six Flags Great Adventure weekend 2nd to 4th October 2020 travelling solo..........if you're around for a catch up, and any hints and stuff, let me know!!
The only time I was able to ride Mystic, it broke down all three times I got in line with my fast lane pass. I was so pissed lol
lowkey loving uncle nate
I love you
Just seeing the inside of the station makes me cry
that's why I go to Kings Island on a SUNDAY. or a weekday in summer break.
Funny thing is I was at Worlds of Fun the same day you were at Kings Island and the crowds were the same EVERY LINE was full 😂😂😂
I can't imagine WoF with major crowds 😂
The fact that this is my home park and I have never seen it this crazy is shocking the longest line I have waited in here is 20 minutes for mystic timbers and 20 for diamondback
Me when i hear vortex is going: Goodbye :( Me when its gone: AND GOOD RIDDANCE >:)
I love Flight of Fear but I respect your opinion.
It usually rides much better than when we rode in October. We were just kinda extra for the video for content haha
My favorite non Herschend park. Worth 4 hrs each way for me. Yet CP is 45 min.
Dat late upload alone on a Friday night LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

You have to ride the racers and the Beast in the pouring rain.
Hey Ryan! Should I ride Hulk at Universal in the front or back? Same question with Hagrid’s and Rip Ride Rocket. Thank you
I’d say back for Hulk! Only rode Hagrid’s once in the front but you probably can’t go wrong either way on that ride. I’d say back on Rip Ride Rockit!
ElToroRyan thanks man!
I went there on the last day of operation to try to ride to vortex, and the line was just way too long, I’m happy I got to ride it once back in May 2018, but I at least got footage of it. Rip Vortex :( Also, why is there tons of glitches in the footage?
11:30 sometimes you just gotta grab your own nuts.
in the kiddie section!
Uncle Nate the Antagonist
Bruh I was boutta sleep then I was like NAH
Sad to see arrows slowly disappearing
just pause the video at 5:10 and look at that nasty transition. Also 10/10 try to munch a jawbreaker thinking it's a gumball
Rip vortex😭
good video!
Yo while riding the beast last year for my friends birthday(during covid) I noticed a piece of track from the vortex while riding it. It was just sitting there in the woods and it sucks that I came around coasters so late in my life so it means never in my life can I ride a ride like that. Still covid free btw😂

I’ve never clicked on a video faster, the same will probably be for kennywood
Yo dawg when u gonna unveil your top 25
Bruh those candy things are so easy to hack into
Rip the Double Rainbow guy
flight of fear is the only ride i won't ride at kings island
