wait until he rides adventure express at night
Adventure Express is extremely fun at night 😂
OMG YES ITS FUN BUT ALSO CREEPY
Oh I love the train. And the beast at night there the best
Bro adventure express is really fun at night
Yes I love the night rider on adventure express
woodstock express?.......OH the BEASTIE.
Sad to see fire hawk go 😭 also I think the bat is just a little underrated
SFG_ xClan yeah, it’s my brothers favorite ride there
@Bjorn Means Bear YESSSS, orion is so fun 😭-
The bat is underrated...but just a lil. HAH but really, I do worry it doesn't have long for this world. It's always a walk on and, when visiting the park with non-enthusiasts, no one wants to bother with the insane hike to the station and I don't blame them. It's too short but the ride time it has is a perfect example of this type of coaster and wonderfully built into the terrain. As a classic family walk-on ride, it should be better than Cedar Point's Iron Dragon but Iron Dragon is RIGHT THERE, you can't forget it and it gives a full lengthy ride with two lift hills. The first half is just pleasant and the second gets a bit more loopy and swingy.
As for firehawk, ehhh? I rode it during it's first and second years as a new coaster at Six Flags Geauga Lake. It was a fascinating novelty at a newly laughably run park so getting on it was a chore. I had higher hopes once it moved to Kings Island, if only because the low flying parts weren't over bare gravel and stones and tucked closer to the woods. Yes, it had been a few years and I'm a quite heavier person but still fairly short. I was ready for heavy Gs but I didn't get any sort of "flying" experience like the early days. Instead, it felt like I was pressed down the whole ride (like stand-ups) and being constantly scrunched down. Spent the whole ride trying ti push my legs straight but was a bit too short! I think it may just be a failed concept.......because I think I'd still prefer full stand up style cars like King Cobra and Mantis. Yet again, I'm short. I'm also female. I understand the hate of them. But I don't have excess height or balls so I generally enjoyed them!
I think Firehawk and Flight of Fear definitely should have been ranked higher than vortex, backlot and the bat.
And diamondback should’ve been first
Mark Holdy for sure
He doesn’t actually try to rate the coasters
Yes
flight of fear was so fun
i’ve ridden all of these and i love them
My top 5:
Diamond back
Mystic Timbers
Banshee
Beast
FOF
Mine are
Orion
Diamond back
Invertigo
Banshee
Beast
@@isabellabrooks9781 Mine are 1.flight of fear 2.invertigo 3.diamondback 4.banshee 5.adventure express
I haven't ridden Orion because it shut down early when I was there and I haven't ridden the beast or the bat
Diamondbacks freaking amazing. It's been years since I've been and I'd love to go back
Diamondback
Orion
FOF
Banshee
Beast
@@UnfazedVik how can you handle the flight of fear restraints. I cannot surivive them. Im 5'10 130lbs and it does not feel good.
1. Diamondback
2. Orion
3. Banshee
4. Mystic Timbers
5. Backlot stunt coaster/ Beast WITH Advil
Vortex the beast the stunt coaster and diamond back were my favorites I’m so sad to see vortex close 😢 😭
Vortex was a terrible ride I don’t know how people liked it
Gus Hammond you are a cold hearted human being 😂 just kidding I did get a headache but the sheer joy overruled it 🤷♀️
This is top 5 in my opinion
1. Diamondback
2. Beast
3. Flight of fear
4. Banshee
5. Vortex
Ehhh idk about that I love wooden coasters but that one just not that fun to me but instill ride it though
The diamondback gave me a headache
Flip Vortex and Flight of Fear and I agree
How could any normal person like Vortex more than Mystic Timbers
Vortex was a head banger for me gave me a headache like the list would replace vortex with mystic timbers
The third yellow one used to be reptar wagon back when paramount owned the park. I miss those days.
I miss when Woodstock express was called The beastie
this was in my recommended the day after i leave kings island !!
I only live like five minutes away it's crazy!
Love having ki so close. Can't wait to ride Orion. 😁
@@sakerocket same
Iive like 10 mins away i havent ridden orion yet cus i didnt want to risk getting covid last year so im very excited for this summer :))
RIP FireHawk
I have been going to Kings island ever since I was little, and my favorites have changed over time. I have an appreciation for the history and work put into each and every coaster, but that doesn't mean that I personally enjoy riding ALL of them lol 😉
1. The Beast - rough, but AMAZING! The night ride is absolutely wonderful! I'm ALWAYS at a loss for words when getting off of this one. The helix at the end is so intense! The fast speeds combined with the feeling of being tilted to your side is like... I don't even know! Its undescribable!
2. Mystic Timbers - do I need to explain myself? No. Absolutely amazing coaster. SO FAST AND SMOOTH!
3. Flight of Fear - I know some people don't like this ride, but I've always LOVED it. There's not been a single time I've pulled into the station from the ride where I wasn't panting for air and wondering "What just happened"
4. Banshee - so smooth, and so fun.
5. Diamond Back - the first drop is EVERYTHING! So much airtime 👍
6. The Bat - it might be short, but even though it's not some people's idea of "excitement", it packs a big punch. I think it is really underrated.
7. The Backlot Stunt Coaster - I love launch coasters, but even though it has a launch, the best part of the ride is probably the short time inside the tunnel. It's pitch black and it's very fun.
8. Woodstock Express - pretty fun
9. Invertigo - not my favorite, but if definitely ride it.
10. The Racer - I put this here because on a GOOD day I might ride it. But it gives me a SEVERE headache. However, it's a classic and I love the airtime moments, despite the headaches
11. Vortex - really not my idea of a coaster I "want" to ride. It's very rough, and I don't really think it's fun. Everytime me and my friends ride it, we just come off with a headache and it definitely doesn't make us any happier. Not a single person in my family or any of my friends like it, and I see why.
Any coasters missed are probably really small ones or ones that I am forgetting... Pretty sure I got all the big ones though
Also shout-out to woodstock express, it was my first ever coaster (other than the great pumpkin coaster)
Also number 8 was meant to be adventure express but somehow I wrote it as "Woodstock Express" Oops 😂
Would you please tell me where is the king island at ? I am from Nj.Thanks
@@johndang1696 Kings island is in Mason, Ohio. Not far from Cincinnati.
R.I.P Firehawk, you *WILL* be missed. (P.S. the ride replacing Firehawk had better be good because that ride was great.)
Firehawk was shit lmao
@@ryanmai7888 fuck you
Welp the ride that replaced it is now the best ride in the park
@@loganbrown6987 so I guess it was worth it then. I'm still not ok with it tho. They should replaced The Bat instead.
Mystic Timbers is my favorite coaster at Kings Island. Backlot Stunt second. The Beast is probably third. Vortex fourth. I love Kings Island!
I prefer the Beast. Love the simplicity of the layout. Love the terrain setting. Just drops and speed. All the twisting and looping I can’t do anymore.
A wooden coaster can loop now
You need to back check that
@@accountnotavailable.5644 nigga
the bat was top gun back in the day. also the vortex is being taken down this year 2019. and the flight of fear was the outer limits. INvertigo was Face off, woodstock express was also called the beastie.
i miss firehawk :(
Does anybody remember before cedar Fair what the park the racer 1 train went forward one went backwards that was a lot of the beast is still my favorite.
Well Done ! I enjoyed your video very thoroughly done!
Thank you.
A nice mine train and my god i love the beast
I went to kings island last summer and my favorite ride was the bat. I’m going this summer and since I’m actually going on the upside down roller coasters this time, (last time I went was my first time going so I didn’t go on any of the upside down roller coasters) my favorite ride will probably change
Invertigo was the second roller coaster I went on at kings island and I didn’t know that you had to keep your head back so I had a headache for the rest of the day and it sucked
Lucy Gray I got a headache early in the day on flight of fear😬
Amanda Noe wait does flight of fear have otsr
Lucy Gray same thing except i didn't just get a headache i quite literally broke my neck :/
Coasterhocky Gaming Boy no it doesn’t. It just has a lap bar.
It was my first actual rollercoaster ever! I was terrified!!!!
I was riding the racer when the red train was only available
I'm going in a week for my third time in a row and I'm so excited...btw my favorite rides are the dimondback and banshee
Same but with The beasts
Same but now Orien is my favorite
Omg that guy on the vortex was killing me lmao
14. This was my first roller coaster! My dad took me on it when I was a kid back when it was still called The Beastie.
10. The Racer is one of my favorite coasters. If you don't want it to be rough, I suggest riding in the first seats. I never knew why people complained about how rough it was until I rode in a middle seat once and it banged me up. Since then I've always just stuck to the front seats.
7. Vortex used to be my favorite coaster, but I decided after I rode it in 2017 that it was my last ride. It's just gotten too rough over the years. I was screaming in pain instead of fun/fear the whole time. When my ride was over, people were groaning in pain and no one bothered to ask "how was your ride?"
4. I never understood what all the fuss was about The Beast when I rode it the first few times. It was just a rough, mediocre roller coaster. But then someone told me I should ride in the front seat and I did and it totally transformed the ride into one of my favorites. I think it would benefit from having smaller seats so the people in the back can see better - the view of the forest is what makes this ride special. For me at least.
2. Diamondback is my favorite coaster of all time. When the lines are short I ride it over and over. Love it! If I could only ride one coaster during my visit for some reason, it would be this one.
Yep I rode the bestie so many times in a rode that my dad snuck me into the beast when I was about 8. I was just a bit under the height requirement yet. Never did tell me how they convinced them to let me on...
I’ve been on every ride there including the ones were you have to spend money on them. I LOVE IT!!!! I’m also going back in three days and I can’t wait
The Bat will forever be " TOP GUN" to us OGs
The Bat used to be in the park, many years before Top Gun. But the ride had bat figures on the carts.
My top 5.
1.beast
2.flight of fear
3.banshee
4.diamond back
5.mystic timbers
MY OPINION!
Best seat on Diamondback hands down is second to the last row. Makes for a much more intense ride.
Last row on Orion is absolutely amazing
I like the last row better
I always wanted to go to Kings Island and ride all the rides in right now I'm seeing you riding and it's so amazing
Rode front row on flight of fear they only had 2rides open when I went
I am enjoying the channel.
Mystic Timbers above the Beast? Sacrilege lol
Edit: You called this your #1 pick before the drop. Whoever you made this list with should've listened to you more because as someone who's been to Kings Island over 100 times the Beast is at least top 3 if not top 2 with Diamondback.
I go all the time and mystic timbers is better than the beast and diamondback cause gci coasters are amazing
@@bbeachler5 nah mystic timbers only has one good drop
Unknown Hooman i just rode it 5 times yesterday and 65 this season mystic has great hills if has amazing airtime and it flies through its layout and going over whitewater canyons makes the experience better so mystic is definitely better than the beast and it is really smooth and the beast is not
@@bbeachler5 smh, but the beast is in the woods kinda... nvm that how the heck did you have the patience to wait in like like that...
Unknown Hooman I go a lot through the week and it has no lines 😂😂
Wow... !!! My best friend, Great... We liked and enjoyed to the end. Thanks Have a happy day! Keep it up! +thumb up3!
Thanks for the visit
First time I rode Banshee was also the first time I realized that I'm getting old.
Nice video Kings island is my home park
Same
Same
Superb footage 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
A little piece of me does inside each time I see vortex and firehawk. Truly miss those 2 rides 😰😞
i love riding adventure express at night it’s so fun!
You forgot to mentioned that "The Brady Bunch "was filmed riding the Racer Coasters there in the 70 's😎
And the partridge family
Literally everyone knows this though
And that the blue used to go backwards
The beast is great for its age. Ride front seat though otherwise youll get jarred to hell. Best night coaster in the world
I rode it in row 2 it was good
I agree, further back in the train you go the more whiplash you get, front seat is amazing
The diamond back and banshee, kinda the vortex scared me a bit, im actully at kings island right now at the hotel for it 😂
I went to kings island in 2014 and I only got 6 credits Woodstock Express, great pumpkin coaster, backlot stunt coaster, diamond back, vortex (RIP), and banshee
1. The Beast, 2. Banshee, 3.Mystic Timbers, 4. Flight Of Fear, 5. Diamondback 👍🤘
the racer is one of my favorites
also every year in june I go with my schools band program and both sides of the racer are open
but it might just be the time that I go lmao
Both sides are usually open
My cousin does too
declan, both sides are always open. I have yet to see the coaster operate with just one side operating.
The vortex gave me serious head injuries from being so rough,the whole time my head was hitting metal bars,I don't miss that ride
I couldn't stand the first hill for the fire hawk i had to hold my ears, it was so loud
My favorite are
1Diamondback
2 Banshee
3 Beast
4 Vortex
5 The Racer
The beast was so vilont when I rode it. Also the dimondback should have been first the the banshee should have been secound then the vortex thats how I would rate it in my book
I agree about the beast being too rough
And also agree with diamondback 1 and banshee 2 but I’d have mystic timbers at 3 even with the stupid shed lol
Try front seat, generally less roughness seems like
People complain too much.
i’m going on new year’s eve and i’m so excited
here are my top five favorite coasters:
1. diamond back. words cannot describe how great and fun it was, beautiful ride
How does it hurt you to get out of FOF?
The Beast, on a hot Summer night is a gem of a coaster as you pass the lightning bugs in the trees, and the breeze cools you down and you're out in Nature on a spectacular ride! I've always loved this Coaster and I miss it dearly since I moved to California in the Fall of 1981. But every time I've come back to visit family in the Summers, I always go to Kings Island. I was fortunate? (unfortunate?) enough to ride "Son of Beast" for 3 times during one past visit while it still included the loop many years ago. I had bruises all over my body and it felt like my neck was broken by the time I left the park! Advil!!!! That thing was fierce, but did they really have to destroy it? It's a shame. A big mistake, but at least I can say that I survived it. In the meantime, The Beast continues to rock my world and the worlds of other coaster enthusiasts across the map! The double helix at the end is the best ever!!! You are out of control and there is NOTHING that you can do about it!
I miss living right by kings island. So many happy memories there
I loved the firehawk!!!
25:10
I think the raddle is from the spashdown scoop things (idk what they are called). The raddle only happens when the back of the train goes through the most forceful parts of the track. You can hear it on the drop of the second hill too.
I’ve been to king island many times and I think diamondback should be first
Two big things happened when I rode the banshee: my first time, my dad lost his hat (and never got it back). Two years later my little brother got stung by a wasp (but quickly recovered).
Well he shouldn't have rode it with his hat that ride flips you upside-down
@@deft_spex_jr9628 it wasn't his fault. He didn't know what would happen. It was our very first time on the Banshee.
i’m glad they put new tracks on the racers
0:23 that’s not a rollercoaster
I think the fire hawk is going to be replaced by Orion, a giga-coaster that is 300 feet tall, and 91 miles per hour
no dip shirlock
@china doll
I was saying I am excited, and I’m also just saying something, ok
Layla Dai factual error, it’s lift doesn’t exceed 300 feet but the drop does.
Thank you for telling me, I tend to get things messed up.
@@layladai9210 sorry i lost my cool
When the beast opened it was the longest and fastest COASTER in the world
Coasterhocky Gaming Boy I'm pretty sure it's still to this day the longest wooden coaster
yes true
i am going again my second time in 2019
I was at there today and got to ride Orion!
Son of Beast!
Adventure express is so underrated. I have done every ride in the park and I still enjoy it everytime I ride it
I really like the rides like surf dog. It's simple, but it feels fun to ride and kids can enjoy it too. Great for kids not to be left out of the rides
My list (includes some non-roller coasters):
1. Flight of fear
2. Invertigo
3. Delirium
4. Drop tower
5. Windseeker
6. Diamondback
7. Beast
8. Racers
9. Banshee
10.backalot stunt coaster
11. Antiqe cars
12. Bat
13. White water Canon
14. Eiffel Tower
15. Mystic 'Tinders' or Mystic 'Tindes' (as my sister calls it)
This is my list, and I know you people gonna be like "OMG HOW THE HELL IS MYSTIC TIMBERS AT THE BOTTOM!! AHHH!!" And my answer to that is,
I don't like it. It sucks.
(At least that's what I think!)
Thats a good list. And no, its ok not to like something
Woof Art :3 your list is absolute dogshit
where would u put vortex
@@ethanstmartin3315 its her opinion jackass
I can tell this is a gp list
seriously, Just because KI considers surf dog a coaster doesn't mean you have to include it in your list
Carson Wulf I never been but I think surf dog looks like fun. Its not completely a rollercoaster but has its coaster elements.
Seriously, since this guy put surf dog on his coasters list doesn't mean you have to rant about it.
@@burtor55able I was trolling in a mean way
R.i.p The fire hawk 😞☹️🤯
Adventure express : * goes fast *
RUclips : not today
* ad pops up *
I just went to Kings Island yesterday with my cousin and she tried dragging me onto the Banshee, Diamond Back, and Vortex... the only one she succeeded with was the beast... I still have a headache
Woodstock Express looks dope!
The beast is a beast. Best frickin coaster.
I rode Banchee before the yellow one
Flight of fear and the banshee still are my favorite rides after like 4 years
I threw up in my living room from this video, not because it was bad, because it looks real and the awesomeness. Please put more videos out.....P.S. I like my weight loss too.
The retracked Beast is probably the best experience I’ve ever had on a roller coaster.
The diamond back was my first roller coaster
An updated ranking would be awesome! Here’s mine:
1) Diamondback
2) Mystic Timbers
3) Orion
4 Banshee
5) Beast
6) Flight of Fear
7) Bat
8) Backlot Stunt Coaster
9) Adventure Express
10) Invertigo
11) Racer
12) Woodstock Express
13) Flying Ace
14) Great Pumpkin
Didn’t realize you ranked Surf Coaster as a coaster, but I’d have it at #13 just behind Woodstock and ahead of Flying Ace
The Racer got a retrack for 2021 I believe. It's actually not that bad now I rode it like 6 times this year and I had fun each time
Yeah, Gravity Group retracked Racer and its 1000 times better than last season for sure. Well worth the effort. We really enjoyed Racer this season!!
This is my top three because I have not rode the loopy loop ones:
1. Mystic timbers and diamond back
2. Backlog stunt coaster
you gotta get on the loopy loop ones too!!!
Banshee was my first ever rollercoaster
Estelle He mine was invertigo I hated it lol 😂
I remember when the racer had dueling coasters, but one was run backwards.
The first ride used to be an avatar the last airbender themed ride but they repainted to fit the Peanuts theme of the kids zone.
Boomerang used to be called Face-Off when paramount owned the park and had another train in front of you and you'd basically be facing off against the other people in front of you ❤️
Who else is saying to themselves who cares if it is rough just enjoy the ride while your at the park
The beast is a little over 7,000 feet.. definitely not 2 miles long lol still the longest wooden coaster none the less.. Kings island is my home park and though it’s a bit rough The Beast is still a must ride!
WAIT HE PUT THE GREAT PUMPKIN COASTER AT #15 WHEN IT SHOULD #1
The Racer I've ridden twice in the past three years and it's just...rough. I was afraid the Beast would be just as bad and I was surprised that the Beast felt smoother than The Racer. I'm still bummed about Firehawk...I sincerely hope they get something decent in it's place. I know it's a blue track whatever it is. For those who haven't ridden the beast...it's faster than what you think. I agree that the Beast is a great ride. I really enjoyed Mystic Timbers too...so much so I rode that one six times in a row! I slightly disagree with you about Diamondback...I personally thought that one was really intense but only at certain moments. Banshee was the first ride I ever rode at King's Island and that one is max intense.
Avner Rosenstein in my opinion The Racer was smoother to me but I think that’s just me
Sorry for the necro, but I believe that the beast is significantly rougher. I can’t ride it more than two or three times in a row without getting sore shoulders. I can ride the racer all day.
@@emmab007 I rode front seat in the red side racer....it was rough as hell.
I can’t wait I till gigs coaster
After going to Cedar Point and riding all rides there these seem like nothing.
I have gone to Kings Island so many times and never rode Firehawk :'D
you really didnt miss anything. if you want the same experience they have one at Carowinds or at Six Flags America
@@ShowMeCoasters okay thanks for that 😂
1. Diamondback
2. Banshee
3. Mystic timbers
4. Beast
5. Backlot stunt coaster
great ranking!
I'd say the adventure express is definitely good training for The Beast if you know what I mean 👀
My top 5:
1.Diamondback
2.Banshee
3.mystic timbers
4.beast (at night)
5.tie between the bat and backlot
( I am going to ride Orion on Saturday so maybe that can make the top 5)
Edit: Orion did not make my top 5 because it doesn't have as much airtime hills as Diamondback but I loved the first drop on Orion.
Damn I didn’t know the Beasty has been there since they opened. Didn’t know that
I love the beast and mystic timbers
1: Mystic Timbers
2: Banshee
3: Diamondback
4: The Beast
5: Firehawk (RIP)
