Orion is my favorite followed by Mystic Timbers. I then have a pretty large gap before Diamondback. I think it's interesting how different people can rank the coasters at Kings Island.
I love seeing everyone’s different mindsets and opinions on coasters! I’ve ridden Orion twice so far and although I love it, Diamond back is still my #1 favorite as I love the airtime on it and it holds a special place in my heart. Diamondback was a HUGE accomplishment for me when I first started getting into roller coasters, and it’s just really special to me. 🥰
IMO Invertigo is the most underrated. It's a bit on the smaller side yes, but it compensates for that with its short lines. I don't think I've ever had to wait more than 30 or 40 minutes.
@@XscreamThrills I agree, but I still always ride Banshee, it might be the coaster with the most varied ride experience ever, some days it is extremely forceful and then sometimes it feels like the track is made of rocks.
I wish they could resolve the roughness issues for Banshee. In the front row its smooth and my favorite invert (I have also ridden Montu and Raptor). But yea, back riw is almost unbearablr
Good list. Finally glad to see someone put Orion at the top where it belongs. Row 4 and back on the right side is best. By the way, Invertigo, which was opened as Face Off, is intended to ride across from each other so you "face off" from one another....it's a shame they have lost this. I always ask the people we ride with if they want to sit across from each other so they can see each other. Most people say yes.
RIP Vortex. it was my favorite. And back in the good ol' days, Racer had a foward facing train and a backward facing train! I was very disappointed when they changed it to have two forward facing trains.
Great video once again! Love KI so much. My list (favorite, not "best") 1. The Beast 2. Orion 3. Diamondback 4. Banshee 5. Mystic Timbers 6. The Bat 7. Vortex would be 7 if it was still standing 7. Adventure Express 8. Backlot Stunt Coaster 9. Racer 10. Flight of Fear 11. Invertigo 12. Woodstock's Express/Beastie 13. Flying Ace Aerial Chase
My top 10 10. Invertigo 9. Backlot Stunt Coaster 8. The Bat 7. Flight of Fear 6. Banshee 5. Diamondback 4. Beast 3. Orion 2. Mystic Timbers 1. *The Great Pumpkin Coaster*
1. Diamondback 2. Mystic Timber’s 3. Orion 4. Beast 5. Banshee Love your list by the way. There is no wrong answer. Always a matter of opinion. People have different tastes about what they like in a ride. I’m always interested to see those differences and similarities when watching these videos. That airtime in the back row on Diamondback always takes the cake for me. Then MT is the wooden airtime machine. Do agree that the first drop on Orion is 2nd to none though. It’s crazy how different DB and Orion are from each other, yet both are excellent rides. Great video my man! Ride On!
It sucks that we couldnt keep the Vortex or Firehawk. They would help so much with spacing out the park on top of these new rides. Now the lines at Orion, Banshee, Diamondback will feel longer then they already were
Racer is very low, in the front it’s in my top 8 at the park... also I love bat but dang higher than banshee is very unpopular, but I love to see it! Nothing is fun if everybody thinks the same, great video!
I like how you've added where your favorite place to ride each coaster is. You should start sometime of database where you put both the pro's and con's on front and back, your suggestion, and let users vote whether they prefer front or back
Yeah The Bat is so hard to find that's why me and my family hardly ever ride it but you should've seen the line on May 5 last year (it was really crowded that day you should've seen The Racer) (also it's one of my favorites)
I like this list. I might put Racer a little higher because I love these old PTC wooden coasters, racer is a solid coaster with some pretty strong sustained Airtime.
Yes I sure am a B&am fanboy! I live in Ohio so it’s a blessing because I got 1 of every major B&M type (or previously had) aside from a Flyer so I can experience a lot of B&M goodness in my state
I haven't ridden Orion or Mystic Timbers yet so for now my favorite coaster there is The Beast followed by Banshee, The Bat, Diamondback, Firehawk (R.I.P.), Flight of Fear, Adventure Express, Backlot Stunt Coaster, The Racer, Vortex (R.I.P.) and Invertigo.
Mystic is still my favorite, although Orion is second. Mystic's pacing is just so good. Adv Express is better than FoF imo, mostly because the ride itself is just more enjoyable. FoF is much rougher this year because of the complete stop in the mid-course causing laterals all the way through the rest of the ride. It's just uncomfortable.
@@matthewgrogg6375 I agree, man. But, if Orion was in most other major amusement parks it would be the best coaster in the park, but because it's at King Island, it's 3rd or 2nd best for me, at least.
@Jose V. bruh I went yesterday in it in the back and middle and it was so rough on my head I had such a bad headache. Then I went in front and it was miles better
Epic video mang. My list is... 1. Diamondback 2. Orion 3. Banshee 4. The Beast 5. Mystic Timbers (still epic, don't get me wrong) 6. Flight of Fear 7. Invertigo 8. Backlot Stunt Coaster 9. The Bat 10. Adventure Express 11. Flying Ace Aerial Chase 12. Woodstock Express 13. Great Pumpkin Coaster 14. Racer
As someone who’s been to the park multiple times, here’s how I’d rank them. 1. Diamondback 2. Orion 3. Banshee 4. The Beast 5. Mystic Timbers 6. Stunt Coaster 7. The Bat 8. Invertigo 9. The Racer 10. Adventure Express 11. Flying Ace 12. Woodstock Express 13. Great Pumpkin Coaster (Can’t rank Flight of Fear as I haven’t been able to ride it yet.)
We were there recently, and I genuinely loved every coaster and rode everything at least twice (besides flying aerial chase). But these are my rankings: Woodstock Express Invertigo Racer Adventure Express Flight of Fear Banshee Bat Backlot Stunt Coaster Beast Mystic Timbers Diamondback Orion
I'm surprised by the people saying Banshee is rough. It was one of the smoothest out of the 100 coasters I've been on, rode it three times. Certainly smoother than The Bat.
My top three are flight of fear, Orion, and banshee. The reason diamond back isn’t up there is because with Orion, diamond back just seems like a smaller slower version of orion
My top 10: 1. Diamondback 2. Mystic timbers 3. Orion 4. The beast 5. The bat 6. Flight of fear 7. Banshee 8. Invertigo 9. Backlot stunt coaster 10. The racer (My home park)
@@Spidermonkey260 I understand but in my opinion it’s my favorite coaster in the park. It’s truly insane that the lineup is so stacked that you can put any coaster wherever in your list.
@@tyrone975 yeah, ki is stacked with great coasters. It's such a shame that roughness is a turnoff for me, because I got one smooth ride during haunt and it was insane.
S: Timbers A: D back, Banshee B: Beast, Bat, Racer, Orion C: Express, BackLot, Invert D: FoF I honestly have more fun on the Racer than Orion. While they both are fairly mild rides, one is expected to be...
Invertigo looks different in this video than it was when I went several years ago. I wonder how they fixed it all up, when I rode it I got so much headbanging it was painful. Wasnt it called Face Off when it first opened?
A few thoughts: I agree with your Top 6, we have the same Top 4. #5 and #6 are just flipped. Mystic Timbers moved up from #4 to #3 in the park for me as I got a night ride in the back and it was awesome! I have Bat at #6. This is super underrated coaster. I have Banshee at #5 due to that rattle. I use to have it higher (#3) but the rattle was bad this past trip Adventure Express is not any good. I would put it at #12. One of the worst endings to any roller coasters. None of Kings Island coasters re in my Top 15. The park has a solid line-up overall.
FUN FACT: Woodstock Express originally opened as Beastie and had a tunnel on its first drop sadly they removed the tunnel at the end of the 2005 season. Opened as the Fairly Odd Coaster in 2006. The tunnel made it much better felt faster especially at night!
@@Bald_Fart Do actual research sir when it was Originally built it was to go along side the beast hence the name The Beastie, Then it was changed to fairly odd coaster when they had the Nickelodeon phase, then cedar fair came in and changed it yet again.
@@KB.84 Woodstock Express opened in 1972 as the Scooby Doo. The Beast wasn’t constructed until 1979. You are partially correct in that it was called the Beastie at one point, but that wasn’t until after the beast opened
my ranking! #14: great pumpkin coaster- i didnt get a chance bc im too tall without a child to ride so i had to skip it so… last place #13: flying ace aerial chase- same as a this person said #12: racer. most painful ride in the park. backseat on beast is smoother. OUCH #11: woodstock express- good ride for a kiddie coaster #10: invertigo. i will take time out of my day to skip this ride. #9: adventure express- good, but small and a letdown. #8: the bat- i just found it a little boring. #7: backlot stunt coaster- my favorite ride as a kid! first part plus the launch is SUPER FUN. #6: the beast- rough, but i like the coaster in the middle of the car, where it isnt on the wheels. i also love the two lift hills. #5: flight of fear- fun, not really intense other than launch though :( BUT SUCH GOOD THEMING! #4: banshee- definitely a rattle, but nonetheless still one of the most fun rides at the park. #3: diamondback- it used to be my favorite until i rode orion. now it seems so small😂 #2: mystic timbers- arguably the best theming in the park (along with orion). best wooden coaster that i have ever been on. also i recommend the back on mystic timbers. AMAZINGGG AIRTIME. #1: orion: i rode it twice yesterday and oh my gosh. insane airtime, such high speeds, and it was so smooth. everything you could want from a coaster.
I never grey out on beast but I feel like I just got done with football practice. It used to be even rougher. They have added trims at the beginning of the ride. Also the best night ride at the park. No lights. A popular TH-camr Tim Tracker once said after a back seat night ride “I can now taste colors”.
Going to kings island for the first time this year with my class! What rides should I prioritize (Personally, I love going fast but not so much upside down, I have never gone on a roller coaster that doesnt have a floor at the bottum (Where you can kick your legs) and I dont care much about outdoor or indoor. What ride is the best for me?
Just rode Diamondback, as well as everything else at KI last week. I did not notice the rattle. Perhaps this was fixed? It was so smooth, and there is so much airtime, it pushed it above Orion for me. What an incredible ride. That said, The Beast in the dark will remain my #1. There is nothing else like it.
It depends what train you get. I can't remember the color, possibly green? I was there recently, rode it six times and two of those times were incredibly rough. But when it's smooth, it's fantastic
My favorite is Italian job because I love mini coopers and are made by one of my favorite car brands BMW! And I was around When it was called Italian job And the bat play top gun music when I was called that for Diamond back I thought my mom was gonna die for some reason
I work at kings island, it’s Also my home park lol , my top 10 is 1. Banshee 2. Mystic timbers 3. Orion 4. Vortex 5. Firehawk 6. The Beast 7. The bat 8. The Racer 9. Backlot stunt coaster 10. Invertigo
I get it, that some people will feel different things with coasters, depending on many factors, including our height. Some of us are bothered by things that others aren't. You don't want to know how low I put Diamondback. I'm a bit torn between Banshee, Beast, and Orion for my current favorite, with Mystic Timbers not too far back. Vortex is still my favorite Kings Island coaster.
surprised to see backlot so low, it’s a short but yet very thrilling ride. diamondback is one on my favorites along with orion, happy to see them in the top 3.
To each his own, love the video as always but damn my list would definitely be way different. I've never quite understood the "rattle" argument if it doesn't actually affect the train much (and just makes an unpleasant sound). Diamnondbacks hill has the worst 'rattle' of any coaster I've ever ridden, and it's always rated as the best B&M Hyper, so I just dunno 🤷♂️🤣
I understand the ranking of these because of the cons about it but, banshee and flight of fear are one of the best. I live by k8ngs island and haven’t been able to ride or on yet but 8m looking forward to it
I recently visited KI for the first time and was expecting Diamondback to be my favorite but I was let down. I love Mako but Diamondback was a rattly mess in the back row, and also kept breaking down. I loved Mystic Timbers though, it was my favorite in the park. To rank the top 5: 1. Mystic Timbers 2. Orion 3. Beast 4. Bat 5. Banshee
I just rode Banshee and I swear that was no roughness. I feel like every B&M is smoother than people say.
Yeah I rode it recently and the roughness didn’t bother me.
Flight of Fear is my favorite ride at KI! That take off into the dark is always so exciting and invigorating!
Orion is my favorite followed by Mystic Timbers. I then have a pretty large gap before Diamondback.
I think it's interesting how different people can rank the coasters at Kings Island.
Mystic timber’s is my favorite the airtime on it is so strong
@@blainebasil6577 I love that ride too.
Absolutely it’s easily the best ride at kings island and the night ride on it is incredible
I love seeing everyone’s different mindsets and opinions on coasters! I’ve ridden Orion twice so far and although I love it, Diamond back is still my #1 favorite as I love the airtime on it and it holds a special place in my heart. Diamondback was a HUGE accomplishment for me when I first started getting into roller coasters, and it’s just really special to me. 🥰
@@Sara_Diamondheart haha same, living in mason for most of my life made diamondback the king of kings island
IMO Invertigo is the most underrated. It's a bit on the smaller side yes, but it compensates for that with its short lines. I don't think I've ever had to wait more than 30 or 40 minutes.
You're the king of unpopular opinions lol. First Firechaser Express, now Bat over Banshee?
I like to see it tho!
Everyone has their own taste. I think the rattle on Banshee really ruins the ride.
@@XscreamThrills Aww that sucks. I'd still take a rattle over headbanging any day, though.
@@XscreamThrills I agree, but I still always ride Banshee, it might be the coaster with the most varied ride experience ever, some days it is extremely forceful and then sometimes it feels like the track is made of rocks.
I LOVE BAT I WAS SO SCARED AT FIRST BUT LOVED IT
I wish they could resolve the roughness issues for Banshee. In the front row its smooth and my favorite invert (I have also ridden Montu and Raptor). But yea, back riw is almost unbearablr
since when was the rattle on banshee unbearable? the beast is easily running WAY rougher than banshee ever has from my 2020 rides of both
I’ve always ridden in the back and it never seemed rough
Maybe that's why the rattle never bothers me. I only ride Banshee in the front. Though that last inl8ne twist is so much fun in the middle.
What? The Banshee has no roughness, even in the back row. I just rode it in the back row yesterday and it was smooth.
It hasn't ever bothered me
Good list. Finally glad to see someone put Orion at the top where it belongs. Row 4 and back on the right side is best. By the way, Invertigo, which was opened as Face Off, is intended to ride across from each other so you "face off" from one another....it's a shame they have lost this. I always ask the people we ride with if they want to sit across from each other so they can see each other. Most people say yes.
It’s back now
Yes bat is so underrated
I guarantee if Kings Island expanded their park to make The Bat less "out there", The Bat would be so much more popular
I’m gin the car going rn
It really is man great coaster.
You know Bat is starting to get overrated based off of the number of people who call it underrated
I thought it was short and underwhelming
RIP Vortex. it was my favorite. And back in the good ol' days, Racer had a foward facing train and a backward facing train! I was very disappointed when they changed it to have two forward facing trains.
Yessss. I loved the vortex too can't believe it's gone 😢 💔 and the backwards racer was my favorite I'm sad they've changed all of that

@@XscreamThrills Yes PLEASE do this
Pretty easy back gives you the best forces and thrills and front gives you the best scenic view. For most coasters.
Back row on Orion is amazing.

It IS a trek back there, but we'll worth it!!

Mystic timbers is my favorite ride at kings island it’s so smooth and full of airtime
Its a great wooden coaster! :)

The banshee has no rattle, and i usually sit in the back
@Jose V. ikr and they fixed up the banshee, well they did some touch ups
@Jose V. i just went on bbn banshee yesterday and it was fine
Yeah, i went to KI last week with some friends and Banshee was super smooth. We got to ride it multiple times and not once did we notice a rattle
@Jose V. bruh I went yesterday in it in the back and middle and it was so rough on my head I had such a bad headache. Then I went in front and it was miles better
Ummm guys Banshee has a serious rattle starting from row 3 on back during in between the elements.
I haven’t been since 2017, hoping I can get at least one visit in this year!
The longest we waited was maybe 30 min., if even that, not counting the weather delay in the evening, or the 20 min. downtime of Orion.

I'm getting ready to go to Kings Island for a day with my fusion team at my school I hope it is fun.
I just visited KI for the first time 4 days ago. I need to go back to ride the rest of the coasters
the first time i rode diamond back i got the back row, and it was awesome!! i would totally recommend trying to get it if you can.

Ahhh I was gonna do this exact same video as my next one 😂 might have to wait on it now. Also, I can’t believe how low racer is! I loved it.
Kings island has a great lineup which makes it a challenge to rank majority of their coasters. Looking forward to your list!
this park is stacked- I’m sad it’s not on the west coast :/
I found banshee actually smooth if you sit on the inside seats on each row
I'll have to try that next time.
I work at banshee and It is my favorite coaster in the park, with that being said i personally think the outside seats are the best
I'm surprised by the people saying Banshee is rough. It was one of the smoothest out of the 100 coasters I've been on, rode it three times. Certainly smoother than The Bat.
If you sit closer to the back, it starts picking up a nasty rattle
@@XscreamThrills I'll try that next time!
The Beast is by far the best ride, unbeatable at night I don’t care how much it beats you up these days.
My top three are flight of fear, Orion, and banshee. The reason diamond back isn’t up there is because with Orion, diamond back just seems like a smaller slower version of orion

B: Beast, Bat, Racer, Orion
C: Express, BackLot, Invert
D: FoF
I honestly have more fun on the Racer than Orion. While they both are fairly mild rides, one is expected to be...
Ok actually weird question but how much Airtime does Great pumpkin have? Because I know some of those E&F Miller's are better than others.
I don't recall any airtime
Finally someone talks about KI.
Invertigo looks different in this video than it was when I went several years ago. I wonder how they fixed it all up, when I rode it I got so much headbanging it was painful. Wasnt it called Face Off when it first opened?
A few thoughts:
I agree with your Top 6, we have the same Top 4. #5 and #6 are just flipped.
Mystic Timbers moved up from #4 to #3 in the park for me as I got a night ride in the back and it was awesome!
I have Bat at #6. This is super underrated coaster.
I have Banshee at #5 due to that rattle. I use to have it higher (#3) but the rattle was bad this past trip
Adventure Express is not any good. I would put it at #12. One of the worst endings to any roller coasters.
None of Kings Island coasters re in my Top 15. The park has a solid line-up overall.
No way, the great pumpkin coaster at number 14! That’s the best coaster in the park!
My top 5
5. The Beast
4. Mystic Timber’s
3. Banshee
2. Orion
1. Diamondback
FUN FACT: Woodstock Express originally opened as Beastie and had a tunnel on its first drop sadly they removed the tunnel at the end of the 2005 season. Opened as the Fairly Odd Coaster in 2006. The tunnel made it much better felt faster especially at night!
Actually, it originally opened as “the Scooby Doo” back when Planet Snoopy was themed the Hanna Barbera. And it sported an all yellow color scheme
@@Bald_Fart Do actual research sir when it was Originally built it was to go along side the beast hence the name The Beastie, Then it was changed to fairly odd coaster when they had the Nickelodeon phase, then cedar fair came in and changed it yet again.
@@KB.84 Woodstock Express opened in 1972 as the Scooby Doo. The Beast wasn’t constructed until 1979. You are partially correct in that it was called the Beastie at one point, but that wasn’t until after the beast opened
my ranking!
#14: great pumpkin coaster- i didnt get a chance bc im too tall without a child to ride so i had to skip it so… last place
#13: flying ace aerial chase- same as a this person said
#12: racer. most painful ride in the park. backseat on beast is smoother. OUCH
#11: woodstock express- good ride for a kiddie coaster
#10: invertigo. i will take time out of my day to skip this ride.
#9: adventure express- good, but small and a letdown.
#8: the bat- i just found it a little boring.
#7: backlot stunt coaster- my favorite ride as a kid! first part plus the launch is SUPER FUN.
#6: the beast- rough, but i like the coaster in the middle of the car, where it isnt on the wheels. i also love the two lift hills.
#5: flight of fear- fun, not really intense other than launch though :( BUT SUCH GOOD THEMING!
#4: banshee- definitely a rattle, but nonetheless still one of the most fun rides at the park.
#3: diamondback- it used to be my favorite until i rode orion. now it seems so small😂
#2: mystic timbers- arguably the best theming in the park (along with orion). best wooden coaster that i have ever been on. also i recommend the back on mystic timbers. AMAZINGGG AIRTIME.
#1: orion: i rode it twice yesterday and oh my gosh. insane airtime, such high speeds, and it was so smooth. everything you could want from a coaster.
Just curious: is that helix on the Beast intense enough to make riders grey out? It sure looks hella intense!
I never greyed out, but that doesn't mean others might.
It's not intense for me, just super crazy
Amazing ride, very long and fun especially at night!
I never grey out on beast but I feel like I just got done with football practice. It used to be even rougher. They have added trims at the beginning of the ride. Also the best night ride at the park. No lights. A popular TH-camr Tim Tracker once said after a back seat night ride “I can now taste colors”.
Definitely more laterals than vertical gs. Never grayed out but its definitely intende
Back row on flight of fear is so much better cause of the elements after the mid course brakes 💯😍
Going to kings island for the first time this year with my class! What rides should I prioritize (Personally, I love going fast but not so much upside down, I have never gone on a roller coaster that doesnt have a floor at the bottum (Where you can kick your legs) and I dont care much about outdoor or indoor. What ride is the best for me?
If you don't care to go upside down and like speed, then your priority should likely be: Orion, Diamondback, The Beast, Mystic Timbers, The Bat
Just rode Diamondback, as well as everything else at KI last week. I did not notice the rattle. Perhaps this was fixed? It was so smooth, and there is so much airtime, it pushed it above Orion for me. What an incredible ride. That said, The Beast in the dark will remain my #1. There is nothing else like it.
It depends what train you get. I can't remember the color, possibly green? I was there recently, rode it six times and two of those times were incredibly rough. But when it's smooth, it's fantastic
1. Diamond back
2. Orion
3. Flight of Fear
4. Banshee
5. Mystic timbers
6. Beast
7.Bat
8. invertigo
9.Backlot
10. Racer
This might be controversial but Mystic Timbers is my favorite :)
We didn’t ride mystic timbers, we thought it was a water ride. Now I wish we rode it. Maybe next year
8:09 Stunning!
I can't wait to get to kings island this year! This will be the first time since 2017!
Have fun!
I thought the rattle on Diamondback was just theming 🤷♂️
I can’t wait to go to kings island! I’m going on august 13th it’s going to be my second time but I don’t remember it because I was so little
Thank you for mentioning in your reviews of coasters where the best seat to sit is!
You're welcome!
My favorite is Italian job because I love mini coopers and are made by one of my favorite car brands BMW! And I was around When it was called Italian job And the bat play top gun music when I was called that for Diamond back I thought my mom was gonna die for some reason
The red one use to go down backwards.
Beast has to be top 3, riding it at night is unmatched
I work at kings island, it’s Also my home park lol , my top 10 is
1. Banshee
2. Mystic timbers
3. Orion
4. Vortex
5. Firehawk
6. The Beast
7. The bat
8. The Racer
9. Backlot stunt coaster

where is diamondback?
Great video! Mystic Timbers is my favorite 😄
I like valley fair in (shockapea Minnesota ) and that’s a plant snoopy in it too
I totally agree with all the rankings on this list.
I get it, that some people will feel different things with coasters, depending on many factors, including our height. Some of us are bothered by things that others aren't. You don't want to know how low I put Diamondback. I'm a bit torn between Banshee, Beast, and Orion for my current favorite, with Mystic Timbers not too far back. Vortex is still my favorite Kings Island coaster.
I can't argue with your reasonings. We all have our own preferences.
surprised to see backlot so low, it’s a short but yet very thrilling ride. diamondback is one on my favorites along with orion, happy to see them in the top 3.
Here are a few of my opinions.
Flying Ace is a kiddy version of the Banshee.
Bat is much more underated due to it being in the back of the park.
That’s cool
I don’t know how your favorite row on Racer is the back. I always get stapled in the back and it hurts like heck.
Orion was awesome loved the air time
To each his own, love the video as always but damn my list would definitely be way different. I've never quite understood the "rattle" argument if it doesn't actually affect the train much (and just makes an unpleasant sound). Diamnondbacks hill has the worst 'rattle' of any coaster I've ever ridden, and it's always rated as the best B&M Hyper, so I just dunno 🤷♂️🤣
Hahaha, back row racer, hahaha! Tried that this year because people talk about the airtime on it and it just jackhammers me way to hard.
Is The rattle intentional on diamondback it’s a snake
All part of the theming!
What train on Diamondback has the most notable rattle?
The green train
The orange train
Or the red train
Not sure
I didn’t even know Woodstock express existed until I watched this!
I love the banshee diamondback, and flight of fear
That’s blue streak at cedar point the mine ride there is not like that.
I am so short that I hardly noticed the rattle on banshee
Adventure express was my favorite as a kid
Mystic Timbers is the best and smoothest ride in the park imo
Orion’s first drop alone is better than all of mystic timbers combined
Mystic timbers is incredibly smooth for a wooden coaster.
I’d say that the Bat is the second smoothest in the park
I understand the ranking of these because of the cons about it but, banshee and flight of fear are one of the best. I live by k8ngs island and haven’t been able to ride or on yet but 8m looking forward to it
8m look8ng forward to go8ng also 8n the summer
@@coleschaefer4390 8 am go8ing th8s saturday. No harm ment by th8s comment.
I recently visited KI for the first time and was expecting Diamondback to be my favorite but I was let down. I love Mako but Diamondback was a rattly mess in the back row, and also kept breaking down. I loved Mystic Timbers though, it was my favorite in the park. To rank the top 5:
1. Mystic Timbers
2. Orion
3. Beast
4. Bat
5. Banshee
I have banshee a lot higher in the top four but for the most part this ranking is very agreeable also a big fan of racer
