@@AlexDaDeer it’s not as scary as you think, its pretty enjoyable. But since it’s dark you can’t get a good view of your surroundings. Still worth it though!
The back row is often more forceful than the front, especially on the first drop, as the front drags the back down faster, resulting in more force going over that drop. Many enthusiasts like the back the most due to this.
Personally I think that you should flip 1 & 2. Diamondback just feels so much longer and there is so much more airtime. That’s just my opinion bc I like airtime. Also Banshee might need a touch up on paint. It’s looking kinda nasty. And don’t forget the Intiman launch that should go in Vortex’s plot.
I think Flight of Fear needs a refurbishment. I rode it last October, and it was incredibly rough, especially for an indoor coaster. I got my first front row ride on Orion then to, and it became my no.1 ride at Kings Island based on that ride. The amount of wind blowing in your face was nuts! 😂
It really does need a refurbishment. Six flags fiesta Texas has done a really good job with the upkeep of Flight of Fear’s clone Poltergeist. They just gave it a new paint job and updated the theming and it rides almost like new
My favorite roller coaster there is The Beast followed by Banshee, The Bat, Diamondback, Firehawk (R.I.P.), Flight of Fear, Backlot Stunt Coaster, Adventure Express, The Racer, Vortex (R.I.P.) and Invertigo. This could change as I am heading back there this upcoming summer. I can't wait to try Mystic Timbers and Orion for the first time.
Having been multiple times, almost all in a row, this is how I'd rank them: 1. Orion 2. Diamondback 3. Mystic Timbers 4. Banshee 5. The Beast 6. Backlot Stunt Coaster 7. The Bat 8. Racer 9. Flight of Fear 10. Woodstock Express 11. Flying Ace Aerial Chase 12. Adventure Express
I still have yet to visit this park but from what I’ve heard I’d agree! Orion and Diamondback definitely look to be their hits and I’ve only heard great things about them
Went yesterday, decided to get the fast lane pass, which was just crazy. I was rode to death in a matter of hours. It has been a decade since my last trip, so i had some catching up to do. 1. The Beast (night) 2. Mystic Timbers 3. Diamondback 4. Orion 5. The Beast (day) 6. Banshee 7. The Bat 8. Flight of Fear 9. Backlot Stunt Coaster 10. Adventure Express I ain't riding any kiddie rides. Although if you're at Kentucky Kingdom, the Kentucky Flyer is the perfect in between. And yeah, I'm one of those "Beast at night is a religious experience" types. Get in the front, and go through a wild journey through the woods. It really flips the more dated aspects of the ride and the engineering oddities.
Being a Local to Kings Island I disagree with some of the rankings. Here how mine goes: 1. Diamond Back 2. Orion 3. The Beast 4. Banshee 5. Mystic Timbers 6. The Racer 7. The Bat 8. Invertigo 9. Flight of Fear 10. Adventure Express 11. Backlot Stunt Coaster 12. Woodstock Express 13. Flying Ace Ariel Chase 14. The Great Pumking Coaster And can I say sorry but I'm a massive sucker for Wooden Roller Coasters
I’ve visited the park 1 time, here’s my rankings: 1. Mystic Timbers 2. Orion 3. Beast 4. Banshee 5. Diamondback 6. Bat 7. Racer 8. Flight of Fear 9. Backlot Stunt Coaster 10. Adventure Express
This is my home park. So maybe because I go here so often my rankings will be a bit off but my top five is 1. Mystic Timbers 2. Orion 3. Diamondback 4. Banshee 5. The Beast
Comfortable trains certainly isn’t Premier’s strong suit is it? Although I don’t hate the spaghetti bowl/Mr Freeze trains, they do tend to irritate my leg where the seat belt buckles in. I can’t imagine how awful the OTSRs would have been on FoF. My only KI visit was in Oct 2019 so I missed Orion but was able to ride Vortex. My rankings: 1. Diamondback (3 laps) 2. Banshee (3 laps, no rattle lol) 3. Mystic Timbers (1 lap r11 10am) 4. Beast (1 lap back row) 5. Flight of Fear (2 laps) 6. Vortex (1 lap back row) 7. Racer (1 lap each side) 8. Backlot Stunt Coaster (1 lap) 9. Bat (1 lap row 6) 10. Adventure Express (1 lap) 11. Woodstock Express (1 lap) 12. Invertigo (1 lap 2nd to last row) I actually want to get back to KI more than Cedar Point. I had such an amazing day here and it left me wanting more. It was an insanely packed Haunt Saturday and no Fast Lane, and I skipped out on Beast night rides due to 3 hour waits. Almost everything was a 2 hour wait by 7pm and wall to wall people. I rope dropped early entry and knocked everything out including re-rides all by 4pm, came back in during Haunt and only rode Banshee and Diamondback plus an Eiffel Tower visit before getting frustrated with crowds and leaving.
WRONGGG Lol First banshee Second diamondback Third mystic timbers Fourth the beast Fifth the bat but in the back Sixth invertigo gives me a headache Seventh The racers Eighth Adventure Xpress And I’ve never rode Orion before because I’m scared of the drop
You should swap three and four because number three mystic timbers was very annoying at the start where you go up to get to the drop because it was so loud it hurt my friends eardrums and he said they were ringing and then on the way down it was really rough the first turn felt like it would snap my neck off, the beast is too iconic
I personally feel like Diamondback and Mystic Timbers are overrated. I have The Beast as #1 in the park, however there isn’t a ride I don’t like there.
Both Banshee and Orion were some of the worst rides Ive ever had. They were bother super shaky and uncomfortable. The airtime on Orion was fun but other then that it just left me dizzy and with a headache. Id definitely put mystic timbers and Diamondback over it. Idk if I just got unlucky or what on Orion, but man it was just not fun at all. Millennium was 100x smoother than that thing and its a decade older.
Enough with "the rattle". I live 20 min from the park and have a gold pass. You lnow how manu times i ride these rides a year? In multiple seats. Ive never felt this rattle. God that shit is so played out
The Flight of Fear announcers are really something else. When I went to kings island, the announcer said “Skill Issue” before launching us 💀
is it a scary roller coaster?
@@AlexDaDeer it’s not as scary as you think, its pretty enjoyable. But since it’s dark you can’t get a good view of your surroundings. Still worth it though!
Bro same, their was this little girl who was hardly tall enough and before the launch he said toughen up buttercup
it was my favorite growing up when I was in middle school, and high school. Now actually Mystic Timbers is my favorite.
"The line backs up, giving you plenty of time to contemplate your life choices." 🤣Loved that
I rode “Diamondback” for the first time yesterday. The employee assigned me to the back row. I had no idea what was about to happen 😆.
The back row is often more forceful than the front, especially on the first drop, as the front drags the back down faster, resulting in more force going over that drop. Many enthusiasts like the back the most due to this.
Fun Fact: Kings Island is 131.9 Miles away from Indianapolis Motor Speedway
IM THERE!!!
The rattle is actually part of the theme
11:15 anyone else see the phone go flying?
Personally I think that you should flip 1 & 2. Diamondback just feels so much longer and there is so much more airtime. That’s just my opinion bc I like airtime. Also Banshee might need a touch up on paint. It’s looking kinda nasty. And don’t forget the Intiman launch that should go in Vortex’s plot.
I totally understand. Diamondback has some insane airtime!
@@XscreamThrills agreed
Nah I rode the Orion yesterday and the view was crazy and so was the first drop
The Diamondback doesn’t give you the amazing view the Orion does
@@-BenGaming- Idc about the view. The ride experience is just so much longer. They both have the same view, woods, nothing special
Riding the beast at night is the best.
I think Flight of Fear needs a refurbishment. I rode it last October, and it was incredibly rough, especially for an indoor coaster. I got my first front row ride on Orion then to, and it became my no.1 ride at Kings Island based on that ride. The amount of wind blowing in your face was nuts! 😂

yeah especially that one spot after the midcourse
@@nathanwalker6455that doesn’t fix the roughness… just makes it pretty

I remember going to ride woodstalk express and something happened and we walked to the ride entrance (we stopped before the lift hill) lol
I've always thought Orion is kind of boring after the first drop. My top 5 rankings would be The Beast, Banshee, Diamondback, Orion, Mistic Timbers.

Third mystic timbers
Fourth the beast
Fifth the bat but in the back
Sixth invertigo gives me a headache
Seventh The racers
Eighth Adventure Xpress
And I’ve never rode Orion before because I’m scared of the drop
Time to get on Orion
Lol
I will try
You should swap three and four because number three mystic timbers was very annoying at the start where you go up to get to the drop because it was so loud it hurt my friends eardrums and he said they were ringing and then on the way down it was really rough the first turn felt like it would snap my neck off, the beast is too iconic
Id say I like diamondback more than orion. After the drop orion just feels boring to me. Flight of fear is up there for me as well.
I went today
I personally feel like Diamondback and Mystic Timbers are overrated. I have The Beast as #1 in the park, however there isn’t a ride I don’t like there.
Kings Island has a good overall coaster collection 👌
The Beast is a must ride every time at Kings Island
Definitely felt that with Mystic Timbers my brain couldn’t focus
Both Banshee and Orion were some of the worst rides Ive ever had. They were bother super shaky and uncomfortable. The airtime on Orion was fun but other then that it just left me dizzy and with a headache. Id definitely put mystic timbers and Diamondback over it.
Idk if I just got unlucky or what on Orion, but man it was just not fun at all. Millennium was 100x smoother than that thing and its a decade older.
I will need to make it back out so far I’ve only been here once in 2017 so I didn’t like Racer at all
Plus you can now ride Orion 👍
Bruh it’s 2023 edition
Oh and here’s my ranking
1. Diamondback
2. Mystic Timbers
3. Orion
4. Beast
5. Banshee
6. Racer
7. Backlot Stunt Coaster
8. Bat
9. Invertigo
10. Flight of Fear
11. Adventure Express
12. Woodstock Express
13. Flying Ace Aerial Chase
14. Great Pumpkin Coaster
It's based off the 2022 season so yeah, 2022 ranking 😉
Swap diamondback and orion
But I have ki gold pass so I will go to it a lot
Sadly I haven't had any funny exspirience at ki
Fof is 5

No it’s not 😭😭😭
Enough with "the rattle". I live 20 min from the park and have a gold pass. You lnow how manu times i ride these rides a year? In multiple seats. Ive never felt this rattle. God that shit is so played out
Orion is trash should be removed it’s boring mystic Timbers and diamondback are the best
I dare anyone who sees my comment right now to react to MY video ranking the roller coasters at this park.😏😈
