I missed it when the Backlot Stunt Coaster was the Italian Job Stunt Track! I wish it was still like this today with all the Italian Job theming and effects working like how it was when this ride was brand new!
I miss the effects in the middle being used to it's full ability. Mainly the water shooting across the track, the helicopter moving, and the water jets that go right before you launch. The water jets that would shoot out used to always make me jump. No matter how many times I rode.
This ride is so much fun. It's so fast, it may not look it, but oh it is when you're on it. It's my faovrite ride and I think everyone should go on it lol
This is a great roller coaster I have not been at Kings Island but have been at Kings Dominion and its awesome. It was my first launching roller coaster and it looked so scary because it launched but it turned out to be awesome.
For all asking about the tunnel: I've been on it with the lights on! Just banked turns like previous parts of the ride! Best part of the ride! I personally think that the launch could use more speed! :)
Awww looks like soon to close for the season - will have to catch it later (perhaps much later) - as I am looking forward to Cheetah Hunt @ Busch Gardens. I will miss KI - this, Beast, Son of Beast (which I guess will reopen) - lots of fun there for all!
No inversions on this ride. In the tunnel nothing happens. There is nothing that pops out. You go left and right as the track 'trick tracks' until it plunges into the aqueduct. PM me if you have anymore questions.
I went to the park with my mother and father last year and my mother does not like coaster. She did however like this ride. It is a great family coaster and a great coaster for you. Everyone is different when it comes to coasters. The ride goes 40MPH and is no more than a 1:20 long. In the tunnel nothing happens. There is nothing that pops out. You go left and right as the track 'trick tracks' until it plunges into the aqueduct. PM me if you have anymore questions.
@jenniewoods1966 first it drops a little to the left, then it tilts you from side on the track as it makes an S-bend, and then it drops out of the tunnel. it doesn't go upsdie down, but it goes more than a 90 degree angle tilted sideways. you cant really tell though, the tunnel is over so quick
a loop is an inversion. An inversion is any element on a roller coaster that takes the rider upside down. The Backlot Stunt Coaster doesn't have and never had an inversion.
You're right about it not going upside down but youre wrong about you being able to tell with the G forces. Loops pull vertical G's, just like many other parts of the ride.
I'm obsessed with roller coasters. This ride looks insane. I wanna go to Kings Island sometime and try this ride, Beast, Son Of Beast, Flight Of Fear, Invertigo, and Vortex. Especially Flight Of Fear because I love Premier launching coasters.
Last time I went on this, we got stuck at 0:44 because the coaster failed to relaunch. Problems were sorted out in less than five minutes, and the coaster relaunched so we could finish the ride. :)
I'm going o nthis at Canada's Wonderland tomorrow. Don't know if i can muster up the strength to go on the Behemoth as i've only gone on one roller coaster before this.
Hyde Six I agree. Cedar Fairs ruined this ride by removing the fire for some cheap lights and all the water effects. I really enjoyed the water effect after the tunnel. The only good thing they did was increase the speed a bit.
Yeah... All three Italian Job coasters (Kings Island, Canada's Wonderland, and Kings Dominion) are exactly the same. None of them go upside-down and all of them are precisely the same speed.
There's no splash zone anymore, the ride goes WAY faster than this (40 mph magnetic launch), there's no smoke like there is at 0:45, There's more signs, and the billboard now says "Backlot Stunt Coaster". Wow, the ownership change sure did take ALOT out of this ride/coaster. Also, another thing I noticed on this video is that it has the "Paramount's KI" emblem on the front of the cars, so why didn't you call this "Italian Job POV"?
@Walkman1OldSchool1 That happens to pretty much everyone. Eventually I guess you just get used to it and even come to enjoy the feeling. When I was younger I always used to yell on the drops and it would keep the feeling down. Some people say that holding your breath works, too, but I never tried that.
I blacked out on this ride. Right at about 0:08 .. After the 0 - 60mph launch (or however fast) at the beginning , where the car twists around the track going up. About the second loop around , going upwards , my surroudings started going grey til the point I woke up after the ride.
this is diffrent from when i rode it today when i rode it there wasnt that voice and at the helicopter u stoped farther back and stuff didnt spray out of the barrells and u didnt get wet at the end
@brittanyluvsfashion thts bc they re-did it over last year , then it was italian job , nd no the fire doesnt burn yu , unless ur in the very front yu can feel the heat , its great at night, now it is the , backlot stunt coaster.
Nothing. It is suppose to represent the part of the movie where you are in the sewers. It is pitch black. The track trick tracks around until plunging into the aqueduct.
@01051825 There's still water and fire, but it's also faster. But there's no music and smoke and sound effects, or water squirting out of the bins. This isn't a recent video.
yeah thats true cuz i went to wonderland yesterday and i was on behemoth at night then i saw fire at the backlot im like that doesnt happen in the afternoon
I want the barrels to blast out water at the mid-show again..... I miss it making me jump and cooling me off a bit... I don't mind that the "splash" is gone; it was cheesy anyways.
I missed it when the Backlot Stunt Coaster was the Italian Job Stunt Track!
I wish it was still like this today with all the Italian Job theming and effects working like how it was when this ride was brand new!
I know me too
Once Paramount sold the parks to Cedar Fair, everything changed completely. Paramount gave great theming to all the rides
I miss the effects in the middle being used to it's full ability. Mainly the water shooting across the track, the helicopter moving, and the water jets that go right before you launch. The water jets that would shoot out used to always make me jump. No matter how many times I rode.
I think taking out all the special affects and audio was a mistake. They should've kept it.

I love this ride, small and not very fast, but I love the aggressiveness it has for its size. And it's freaking SMOOTH!
No one is holding the camera, it is a mounted camera the park set up, thus why it is called the official POV.
this was so fun!!
i was with my friends and it started raining after we went on, so we were the only ones on the ride for, like, 7 times
I miss paramounts KI, I had not went in years and when I did it was ALL Snoopy and the rides had diff names :(
I thought this was a kiddy ride when I was afraid to go on coasters. Now that I'm not, i still can't believe it's a 5 in Thrill.
I really like the heavy themed rides.
Thanks for clearing me up on the fire jealous of people who got to ride recently this one sure is fun! Thanks for posting and for comments.
I go on June 23rd with my class for a feild trip. I know, going to Wonderland during school hours. Thats AWESOME :)
I miss when Kings Island was still Paramount...but its still fun none the less :) I love this ride :)
I agree, the ride is much more intense than it looks.
Just wait till 09'!
i'm so excited..i'm going to wonderland this thursday wih some friends from school! i want to go on this so badly
Have fun 13 years later
So there is, thanks for pointing that out! Rode when it was Italian Job, and still love it (with the fire)!
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS RIDE!
it launches you once more coming out from the tunnel, you can feel it if you pay attention, but if you don't know about it it's hard to tell...
This ride is so much fun. It's so fast, it may not look it, but oh it is when you're on it. It's my faovrite ride and I think everyone should go on it lol
this ride is one of my fav..soo fast...and goes in the dark...love it
This is a great roller coaster I have not been at Kings Island but have been at Kings Dominion and its awesome. It was my first launching roller coaster and it looked so scary because it launched but it turned out to be awesome.
For all asking about the tunnel: I've been on it with the lights on! Just banked turns like previous parts of the ride! Best part of the ride! I personally think that the launch could use more speed! :)
The fire completed the whole ride. That was the best part for me.
Awww looks like soon to close for the season - will have to catch it later (perhaps much later) - as I am looking forward to Cheetah Hunt @ Busch Gardens. I will miss KI - this, Beast, Son of Beast (which I guess will reopen) - lots of fun there for all!
this is such a fun ride! i love the theming of it!
No inversions on this ride. In the tunnel nothing happens. There is nothing that pops out. You go left and right as the track 'trick tracks' until it plunges into the aqueduct. PM me if you have anymore questions.
ive ridden this ride like 4 times in a row cause it was so much fun
My little brother is scared of the helicopter and my little sister is scared of the fire, but we ride it all the time. We love it!
I went to the park with my mother and father last year and my mother does not like coaster. She did however like this ride. It is a great family coaster and a great coaster for you. Everyone is different when it comes to coasters. The ride goes 40MPH and is no more than a 1:20 long.

@DarkHorizon22 It was originally called that.But when Cedar Fair came, it was changed to that name since they didn't had the rights to it.
@jenniewoods1966 first it drops a little to the left, then it tilts you from side on the track as it makes an S-bend, and then it drops out of the tunnel. it doesn't go upsdie down, but it goes more than a 90 degree angle tilted sideways. you cant really tell though, the tunnel is over so quick
a loop is an inversion. An inversion is any element on a roller coaster that takes the rider upside down. The Backlot Stunt Coaster doesn't have and never had an inversion.
That POV felt like a movie
No it does not have a loop but it does have a corkscrew and a shooting start.
they have this ride in canada's wonderland amusement park :). its awesome
It really does go faster ;) its pretty awesome (then again, any ride where you get to sit in mini-coopers is pretty awesome)
omj, i LOVE this ride. it was my absolute fav. it's not scary, but it's super fun!
You're right about it not going upside down but youre wrong about you being able to tell with the G forces. Loops pull vertical G's, just like many other parts of the ride.
Soo much faster than it looks! Reallyyyy fun though. I love it
I rode this like 15 times in a single day! Love it :)
I'm obsessed with roller coasters. This ride looks insane. I wanna go to Kings Island sometime and try this ride, Beast, Son Of Beast, Flight Of Fear, Invertigo, and Vortex. Especially Flight Of Fear because I love Premier launching coasters.
went there yesterday it seriously gets HOT on that part of the ride
i know what u mean!!!! i've rode it 2 times, 1st time i liked it, second time, screamed the whole way through
Now I get why they have "You Will Get Wet" signs. They don't spray water at the coaster during the heliocopter section anymore.
yeah ride it I hate rollar coasters but I rode this one and I loved it :D
that ride is so much fun :)
@Kromius99 That's cuz wonderland changed all the names, so italian job is backlot stunt coaster. this is in wonderland!
this ride is NOT slow it is fast! i love this ride!
Looks like fun, very smooth.
Such a fun ride
i went on this ride at Kings Dominion it is really fun
Last time I went on this, we got stuck at 0:44 because the coaster failed to relaunch. Problems were sorted out in less than five minutes, and the coaster relaunched so we could finish the ride. :)
OMG I went on this today TWICE and it was the BEST :D
It is no longer a paramount park, thus all paramount related names were changed.
awesome i love this ride
I'm going o nthis at Canada's Wonderland tomorrow. Don't know if i can muster up the strength to go on the Behemoth as i've only gone on one roller coaster before this.
I love this ride! It's different and just... Fun. Lol. I rode in the dark during the Halloween thingy so you can imagine how cool it was :P
I wish they would put the effects back in
Hyde Six I agree. Cedar Fairs ruined this ride by removing the fire for some cheap lights and all the water effects. I really enjoyed the water effect after the tunnel. The only good thing they did was increase the speed a bit.
Yeah... All three Italian Job coasters (Kings Island, Canada's Wonderland, and Kings Dominion) are exactly the same. None of them go upside-down and all of them are precisely the same speed.

it's short but wicked awesome!
@Walkman1OldSchool1 That happens to pretty much everyone. Eventually I guess you just get used to it and even come to enjoy the feeling.
When I was younger I always used to yell on the drops and it would keep the feeling down. Some people say that holding your breath works, too, but I never tried that.
It's not worth more than a 30 minute wait but it's still a good time, everytime. Especially the tunnel at the end.
I went on this yesterday. They don't spray water at you any more.... But I went on it when it opened. The line was looonngggg..
I play around with URL's and found it however it is not online anymore.
i went on this one today with my physics class today! it was scary but fun!
Omg this one's WAY bigger then the one we got in Vaughn!! Aw well we got Behemoth :)
not the highest coaster, but one of the most fun i've ever been on mainly to that acceleration
@hyperskreem You turn around alot like really sharp corners, SO FUN!!!
its actually really fun, lots of Gs
I blacked out on this ride.
Right at about 0:08 ..
After the 0 - 60mph launch (or however fast) at the beginning , where the car twists around the track going up. About the second loop around , going upwards , my surroudings started going grey til the point I woke up after the ride.
I miss the water at the end. They removed it a while ago sadly.
This ride is so fast! I love it so much. Makes me laugh everytime!
@Sailingsailor you do not go upside down at all
this is diffrent from when i rode it today
when i rode it there wasnt that voice and at the helicopter u stoped farther back and stuff didnt spray out of the barrells and u didnt get wet at the end
does this ride do a corckscrew in the dark tunnel im goin 2 kings island in 5 days and i luv this ride
this ride go so hard! i live in columbus i cant wait to come back for the 500th time lol
I think the helicopter moved when I went last year. Going in a couple weeks will see then.
cause Paramount was with movies and a lot of rides were based on movies and since cedar fair isnt they changed the names.
what happened to most of those effects? the splash at the end and a bunch of other effects aren't in use today
yep, it's called diamondback
this vid is of the good stunt coaster the one with fire and water not the boring one without it
wait....wasnt this themed as the italian job at one time?
why in the hell did Cedar Fair changed the rides name from Italian Job to Backlot stunt coaster??? like WTF
The one at Kings Dominion seems to go faster unless this was slowed down. I love the one at Kings Dominion. I went on it like 5 times
What happens in the tunnel? Can someone who's ridden it tell me?
@brittanyluvsfashion thts bc they re-did it over last year , then it was italian job , nd no the fire doesnt burn yu , unless ur in the very front yu can feel the heat , its great at night, now it is the , backlot stunt coaster.
Nothing. It is suppose to represent the part of the movie where you are in the sewers. It is pitch black. The track trick tracks around until plunging into the aqueduct.
It doesnt go upside down its just kinda hilly and turns alot its a fun ride :)
I think it looks fun. Maybe a good coaster for kids. They don't all have to be thrill-machines.
@01051825 There's still water and fire, but it's also faster. But there's no music and smoke and sound effects, or water squirting out of the bins. This isn't a recent video.
I just went on it today but I think there is just a left and a right bank. I t is hard to keep track of though
No, you just keep going. I think you go on your side for a second.
looks smooth and slow,
I miss the good old days of PKI...when drop tower was drop zone and Invertego was face off..
this is like the italian job in canadas wonderland but this one is slower
yeah thats true cuz i went to wonderland yesterday and i was on behemoth at night then i saw fire at the backlot im like that doesnt happen in the afternoon
on at canada's wonderland is so fast its starts fast and ends fast too
I want the barrels to blast out water at the mid-show again..... I miss it making me jump and cooling me off a bit... I don't mind that the "splash" is gone; it was cheesy anyways.
I love this ride! It's different and just... Fun. Lol. I rode in the dark O
@bigjax124 no...its Kings Island.
