How to Improve EVERY Coaster at Kings Island

[@SlipMaker]

My comically easy improvement for Mystic Timbers: air condition the shed so we aren’t stuck in a sauna if there’s a delay

[@Bnizzofashizzo]

Yes

[@ToaOfFusion]

Now that's The Shed marketing I can get behind!

[@CCA_]

This year they had a fan running in the shed but, it felt like a blast a warm air, still refreshing though.

[@AirtimeThrills]

@@SlipMaker a delay? Not at Kings Island

[@kahunamoe22]

Dude no fucking shit! Like seriously it needs to freeze over or something. Or put some old school wall units in that bitch.

[@twistedjake_]

I would add a swing launch and 420 ft spike to the great pumpkin coaster

[@Ckplaysgamez]

That’s what I’m sayin 🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@reedspace8267]

There isn't a Great Pumpkin whatsoever. *You owe me restitution!*

[@theonlysamman3889]

Finally, a good coaster at this park

[@Bubblereal]

um then 1. it would not be a kids coaster like it is marketed 2. the 2 year olds would not be able to ride it

[@Nicholasmalus172]

​@ClinchfieldRailfan921 well then make it 419 feet instead.

[@TheLewistownTrainspotter8102]

2:16 I think an easier change that could be done to Woodstock Express is add back the tunnel they used to have on the first drop when the ride was known as The Beastie.

[@MarsJenkar]

When you've got enough high-tier coasters that the question isn't "which coaster(s) do we add to complete the park's Mount Rushmore", but "which coaster do we _leave off_ the park's Mount Rushmore", you know you've got a good ride lineup.

[@AirtimeThrills]

True. Orion may be odd man out there

[@Thelightning1out]

Invertigo can be left off, that ride is absolutely useless!

[@MarsJenkar]

@@Thelightning1out ...That's not one of the coasters generally considered for KI's Mount Rushmore. The five coasters are (in order of construction): * The Beast * Diamondback * Banshee * Mystic Timbers * Orion

[@michael7054]

Great video! I really enjoyed watching this!

[@SagaTF2]

When The Beast was done being retracked, the Beast crew got to ride the ride before all of the trims were placed in the brake shed and on the second drop. It was completely out of control, amazing, but the average guest would not have enjoyed it. That being said, I'm glad I got to experience half-trim Beast.

[@TheSonicsean]

Just saying, night trimless ERT on Beast at Coasterstock would be AMAZING

[@CoasterMediaYT]

It was open like that for the first weekend it opened in 2022. Trims added the weekend after.

[@MileHighGrowler]

My recollection is that there were less trims at points in the past as well. I recall coming around the curve after the first drop and being slammed down that next hill back in the 90s. Could just be the way I remember it as an 8-12 year old, but going back years later I was disappointed at the trims there to slow it down. Not to mention the later trims on the straight track.

[@justiceleaguebattleformetr9239]

For Flight of Fear, I’d say remove the midcourse brake run and just let it rip. If Poltergeist and Joker’s Jinx can run without no midcourse then Flight Of Fear should as well

[@pixie1stix]

REAL I am a HUGE FOF fan and I agree with this

[@Wesley-76]

YES, that would be awesome! I really enjoy FoF but that and the constant shakiness make it much worse than it could be. Then add Chris's theming idea and...we've got a great ride!

[@syndrome7778]

This might possibly be my favorite series on the channel. Can’t wait for the next one!

[@robertbarga3694]

KI Is my home park so I really appreciated this video. It was nice to hear someone else say that a drop track in Mystic Timber's shed would have been a perfect finale. Seems like a huge missed opportunity. I don't remember what you said about The Bat, but I love that ride and I would love if it got new life with a Hulk-style re-track to buy it 20 more years. I'm afraid it's not long for this world and it's just a super fun ride.

[@Thecincyclips]

Woodstock Express - change it back to the Beastie and bring back the Tunnel. Orion - Easy fix would be to add a tunnel at the bottom the first hill with lights that give you a "jump to light speed vibe" which would fit in with the theming

[@generaldoof7334]

I was at KI for the beginning of Haunt and the Backlot Stunt Coaster effects were working perfectly both days including the copter. Disappointingly, they had the lights on for the indoor section on Sunday morning.

[@pipepicasso8112]

From what I understand, the backwards Racer was stopped because the trains were getting damaged. The manufacturer recommended not to run them backwards, and parts were hard to come by. They do have a workshop that has been doing custom repairs. But, the only solution would to have new trains made for the backwards running. I don’t think they want to change its classic cars, or spend the money to do it. I rode the backwards exclusively back in the day, it was so much more fun.

[@AirtimeThrills]

Interesting it would have become a problem after 20+ years, esp considering PTC is still around and able to make repairs

[@thomasrinschler6783]

I spent a couple of hours one day (a weekday that it rained in the morning, so no crowds at all) just walk-on marathoning the backwards Racer.

[@brianreising3293]

My first job was at the food stand across from the entrance to the racer. Backward racer always had the longer line. It was such a unique ride too.

[@riflyc]

Also from what I heard working at the park, it's an insurance issue. Because the manufacturer specifically recommends not running it backwards, insurance requires them to run it forward, otherwise they wouldn't cover the ride and/or park. Similarly, it's the same reason you never see anyone with their hands up on rides in any official park PR photos. The "official" manufacturer recommended riding position for just about any coaster includes riders hands holding onto the restraints. As such, the park cannot be seen officially endorsing any other position, including raised hands, or they could be found liable for any incident or on-ride injury, regardless of cause.

[@pipepicasso8112]

@@riflyc You are correct. I looked it up before you posted. And, I never thought about the promo photos not showing riders with hands in the air. It makes sense legally. Lawyers take the fun out of everything. 😄

[@collegeluvr]

I also think some air-conditioning in that shed would not be too bad… I like how people got upset that it was a letdown… a few of us have way too high expectations. I don’t mind the shed since it’s under a roof when it’s hot (but not TOO hot, then it’s unbearable). Also, I actually really do like Orion. The first drop, the speed hill is amazing… If you sit on the left side for the first wave turn, it’s amazing, but if you sit on the right side, it’s nothing. In the end, it always has a decent line so I guess it serves its purpose… The general public loves it.

[@IronAnacondaMC]

YESSS!!! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SINCE THE MAGIC MOUNTAIN ONE. Also, I have been on backlot many times, and every time it has had effects, even from a distance I can see the fire. I also heard Orion would have been taller and longer, but cedar fair didn’t want to outclass fury. With banshee, the rattle has been bad, as after 2-3 rides I get beaten up too badly. Diamondback only has had rattles once or twice a trip, on night rides in back row, so It doesn’t bother me

[@TheBolligerMabillardLover]

That's too bad that cedar Fair didn't want to outclass fury because Kings Island is BY FAR a better park than Carowinds!

[@brentsocie5754]

Great Video!! They DO take the trims off of the Beast occasionally. If you are lucky and you ride one of the last few trains of the night, you might experience it one day. My cousin worked there and had a no-brake run on it two seasons ago. My mom got to ride it opening year when there were no trims as well. Extremely rare today, but I can see why they don't do it every run. The trains would need replaced yearly.

[@ChuckE.CheesesIllinois]

Your solution to invertigo would honestly give it more longevity, i like it!

[@aloiscool]

How they could also improve Orion is by relocating it and giving KI a brand new giga

[@mikes6457]

Thanks for showing the trains in the station. I've never bothered going on this because I thought these would have right OTS restraints. I'll have to give this a whirl next season

[@carlollmann831]

I think with adventure express they did a great job starting the retheme. I think they should complete it. For example turn the fog back on when the guy dumps the lava on you at the end. Make sure the drummers can be heard etc. Backwards racer would be nice since we are getting no new coaster anytime soon. Maybe just a suggestion comfort collars on flight of fear. Really tall people do not fit in the front of the cars. We cant get our legs under the restraints.

[@RoachOverlord]

Never got a chance to ride Racer backwards, but I did ride Rebel Yell/Racer 75 at KD backwards several times. They stopped running it backwards the same year as Racer.

[@dreamy.reader52]

I feel like youve been posting a lot recently!! Keep up the amazing content 👍

[@TheCoasterSpot]

7:33 PTC won’t approve their trains running backwards. Any park that is doing it is completely liable or depending on the state could be in violation of the law for not following manufacturer’s recommendations

[@b-chroniumproductions3177]

2:07 Are new trains while keeping the buzz bars even possible? It seems like the size is limited by the track gauge, other than that the classic PTC trains are fine for a family coaster.

[@mdineen89]

The only changes I would make to the suggestions would be to make sure all of the square wheels are swapped out for round ones on The Beast. I rode this on the last night of Halloween Haunt this year and I think they missed a few of the square wheels.

[@RevNoch]

You must have read my mind about Mystic Timbers. I went out of my way to NOT know what was in the shed before I got my first rides last summer. Having been to BGW in '22, I was totally expecting a Verbolten style drop in the shed, but it never came.

[@Mike-ky9jz]

I would reprofile the return trip on the racers....make those bunnies on the return trip launch you out of your seat.

[@michael7054]

Great video! I really enjoyed watching this!

[@ThemeParkRowan]

I think KI could reasonably do an enthusiasts event like Holiwood Nights and leave Beast's trims off for a night or two.

[@mikewalker4950]

Okay pausing after the kiddy coasters. KI is one of my home parks and I visit ~25x per year so here’s my thoughts: Diamondback - turn the trims down. The first 3 hills hit sooo good including the trimmed third one but the next couple after the mid course not quite as good. Lower the trim amount on the third hill and mid course both. The drop and splashdown would be epic. Orion - Same, just turn the trim off. It never hits that hard and the little added speed boost would make the ending a bit more intense. Non realistic pick would be a few more elements at the end and push the wave turn out instead of in so that it gives great airtime. Mystic - nothing really. It does what it was intended to do very well. Banshee - it’s not realistic but I do miss some of the snap of the old B&Ms. I wish the roll rate was a bit higher in a few spots other than the inline twist. Realistically, work on the trains that tend to rattle a bit more. B&M rattle doesn’t bother me personally but I do notice it. Beast - realistically offer certain events or times of the day (say night rides) to go trim less. Probably not realistic - start putting speed hills and double ups/downs in the straight sections but by bit as it get retracked. Racer - easy - turn blue racer backwards again! FOF - I don’t know if possible but it needs more efficiency. Could they go back to 3 trains instead of 2 or would that not help? Backlot - it’s fine - it’s a family coaster. Invertigo - my daughter would kill me for saying this but tear it down and build a front gate coaster after we get the vortex replacement. It’s honestly not bad though just too intense without the redeeming qualities. Bat - pretty perfect for an arrow suspended but I wish it were a tad longer.

[@CCA_]

I think adding a third train to fof would help as I saw once that after they would dispatch they have to wait an extra minute before the second train came back for people to board because of the unload station.

[@MarioPlushyFun]

This is the one I’ve been waiting for!!!

[@gbates4605]

A possible video/series idea: What if you were the owner/manager of various parks on the outs of the new six flags heirarchy, and how you would make them a top tier park in say 10 years.

[@countrylifewithderek]

They have added all the trim brakes to the Beast in the last 30 years. It used to not slow down and it seemed so much faster.

[@ScottyMania313]

I love all 15 of your solutions. I have 2 alternate quick Fixes. 1) Timbers - For Winterfest, replace the music with Chrismas songs and instead of a snake or a tree attacking you, have Santa or Frosty wish you a Merry Christmas. 2) The Bat - Still call it "The Bat" but paint it red and White like the Cincinnati Reds colors. That long creepy walk into the boonies would be more fun if you had selfie stations of famous Reds players lifesize photos along the path. Votto, Griffey, Rose, Bench and Morgan, perhaps even Elly De La Cruz. I feel that these murals could encourage marathons of the ride. New selfie, another ride.

[@sabs2132]

Fixing the banshee rattle is allegedly impossible unless they replace the vest restraints with the older b&m ots restraints, or if they just get all new lighter trains. The current trains are allegedly too heavy. I guess they could reinforce the track but idk how much of a permanent fix that would be.

[@matthewpeloza9249]

Agree with almost everything. Only one I would really go a different way is Flight of Fear. I love the disorientating spaghetti bowl layout, but hate the trains. It’s the only ride at KI that I find uncomfortable to sit in.

[@slimbeige8692]

I’m glad you recognized the B&M rattle. It’s not the land or ground. It’s their track structure design. The rails sag between the supports. Every B&M has it or will have it. It’s always starts/worse in the valleys. Max speed & train weight pushing down. You can even hear Diamondbacks rattle sitting at Potato Works. 😂 Right next to the first drop valley. Prolly to $$ to fix

[@CoasterMediaYT]

Racer has already nearly been completely redone by gravity group!!! Great video

[@_xxjasterxx_]

One crazy SOB with that Invertigo idea for me best improvement would be to remove it 😂

[@supremefan]

I don't think B&M rattles are even an issue on any coaster except their first one maybe.

[@dominicjannazo7144]

They should put a drop track at the end of Adventure Express to pay off the second, themed, lift hill.

[@pipepicasso8112]

Reason backwards Racer was stopped: The Racer at Kings Island no longer runs backwards because the original design of the wooden roller coaster was not intended to operate in reverse, and running backwards could potentially compromise safety and not be covered by insurance; for a period in the past, one side of The Racer did operate backwards as a unique feature, but this practice was discontinued and the ride was restored to run forwards on both sides

[@vegasstafford9061]

Lots of content lately! Letsgo!!!

[@TheChilaxicle]

9:08 I feel like the Flight of Fear change is more in the Hard or Fantasy level of possibility, because themeing that spaghetti bowl layout would be more challenging than the more open layout of Space Mountain. Still, great vid, I'm just getting nitpicky over here lol

[@AirtimeThrills]

@@TheChilaxicle yeah could be, i personally have no idea what it takes to theme a space mountain

[@sammorris6104]

From my visit to KI this year, the fix to improve Racer is even simpler - actually race the two sides. Definitely in the 'easy' category!

[@AirtimeThrills]

Haha yeah that definitely wasnt a problem for me. Gemini yes

[@NickEBeaver]

I've always wished Backlot would get a retheme complete with new spinning trains. It would totally change the entire experience! I see that being way more likely than Invertigo receiving spinning trains. As soon as KI fills in the Vortex plot then Invertigo can retire.

[@Jason_Maier]

How to improve the coasters at Six Flags America: Roar - Titan Track & Millennium Flyer trains Wild One - keep it as is. Professor Screamore's SkyWinder - retrack. Batwing - scrap Superman: Ride of Steel - put the second train on the track.

[@timbeam00]

For Diamondback, the rattle wasn’t an issue for me. The entire return trip did nothing after the turnaround because the trim hit so hard when I rode it all 3 times. Do why Raging Bull did last year and turn that thing down!

[@TheBolligerMabillardLover]

That's probably why I've never gotten airtime after the turnaround on diamondback, the trims slow it down too much.

[@BuckeyeReid1865]

A drop track after the 2nd lift hill on Adventure Express would be awesome & less anticlimactic. I wish they'd also retheme BLSC to either match the theme of Coney Mall or Rivertown.

[@brentgoeller8257]

King's Dominion will tell you they aren't allowed to run one train backwards anymore because the trains weren't certified to operate like that and, for some inexplicable reason, it's impossible to get it certified with the state anymore. The story I was told by one of the operators was that during a state inspection, the inspector dragged out the old paperwork showing the certifications and asked for the certifications showing it tested running backwards which they couldn't produce. The stupid part is, it had been running backwards for over 20 years at that point without issue but that didn't matter to the inspector and he made them turn the train around the correct direction until they could produce the proper test certifications. But I was always under the impression that was just an issue with King's Dominion and the state of VA. If all that's true, no doubt they could get it certified but who knows what that would cost and if they feel it's worth the investment. I don't know a single person that doesn't miss the 1 train running backwards on the coaster formerly known as Rebel Yell. Literally, the ONLY argument that would make sense is that, if there was an accident which caused the train to suddenly stop, people's necks would get snapped in the wrong direction since the trains don't have head rests. If that's the concern, at least it would make some sense but would also be correctable.

[@orlandoorange7755]

Yo I love this video idea of fixing coasters!

[@Toonamp]

Yeah, part of the problem with cedar fair in general is when it comes to their racing coasters, they want to cut cost by shutting one side down when it’s slow. If one side of racer is going backwards, then they won’t be able to do that anymore.

[@Basketballkid2342]

[@picklezzzz810]

@@AirtimeThrillsyeah I think that the family attraction isn’t the only thing they’re getting in 2026, mainly because kings island likes to tease their next major coasters and have a grand reveal for them

[@TheBolligerMabillardLover]

Bring gold striker, although I doubt they'll move it anywhere, certainly not to a park that already has mystic timbers. I hope they move gold striker but I doubt it. Goldstriker is the best coaster at Great America, although wooden coasters hardly ever get saved and moved and rebuilt, even when they are barely over a decade old.

[@rixrobin]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure the reason why or orion has a shorter layout (even though it had so much more space it could use) is because Orion was initially planned to go to another Cedar fair Park. I think it was California’s great America hyper coaster before that plan was canceled.

[@rixrobin]

Cedar fair wanted to give kings island a giga and and that hyper layout was modified to become a giga.

[@AirtimeThrills]

It was, but not sure how that affected the layout since i doubt CGA would have gotten a hyper that tall. Probably more due to the cost of steel

[@TheGOATTB12]

Great video airtime. You made some solid points. I would love to see a world-class standout coaster at KI, but due to the close proximity to Cedar Point, I dont think that will ever happen. It would have happened by now if that was i in the plans of Cedar Fair pre-merger. I would personally love to see an Intamin or RMC single-rail maybe? No wooden coaster for them to get an RMC. Or maybe even a mack spinner. I do think Orion gets overhated by thoosies. It's still a very solid coaster, with an elite tier 1 first drop even if all the other gigas in norrh america are better. Its a tough comparison. Some of the gigas are world class, so i think its overhated. The sustained floater is great. 305 (Pantherion) is almost 1,000 feet shorter but no one complains about that. 😂

[@Reality_a_thing]

5:48 they have ran in it like that before in the past. It flys through that layout . But personally more Theming and a soundtrack for beast. Mystic just more special effects , Quiter lift, and on ride sound effects . Flight of Fear : New trains that are easier to get in/out of , on board sound effects , and some effects during the ride , on ride photo if they don’t have it . Adventure Express : Quiter lift so you can actually hear on board sound effects , Have more sound effects during the ride , add more theming , retracting in some rough areas. Banshee: More theming , soundtrack from IMAScore, Fog, smoothing it out in some spots . Diamondback: Theming , IMAScore soundtrack , smoothing out in rough areas , adding tunnel(s) with special effects The Bat: Adding Theming ( Both the ride and Que), IMAScore soundtrack. Invertigo: Adding special effects ( something like Jolly rancher remix or Speed of sound ).

[@samminator101]

Kind of a random video idea, but what if you ranked all the coasters that appear in your intro? Both the old and new one. It would be such a random mixture of rides making for a super unique list

[@TheRealestHooman]

This used to be my home park but after moving my new home park is Kentucky kingdom, which doesn’t have a bad coaster but none of them are as stand out as diamondback or Orion, so a pretty big downgrade, but at least my new home park isn’t some place like valley fair.

[@falloutfan6649]

As awesome as the spinning cars would be, I think if Invertigo has a future at Kings Island it would probably get a massive re-theme featuring a new name and a new paint job. I hope it doesn’t go anywhere. It’s actually the only boomerang model of any kind I’ve had the chance to ride so it’s a little special for me

[@schumi246]

For Flight of Fear, how about they TURN THE DAMN LIGHTS OFF inside the spaghetti bowl?! My last two rides on it were ruined because I could see everything which eliminated all of the suspense of not knowing what's coming next.

@airtime thrills Diamond Back was surveyed years ago for the footers sinking. Multiple footers were extended and reinforced since it was built. Orion added to one or two footers. This is evidence or proof that they changed some over the years. Soapbox could run each cycle twice to extend the ride time. You need to try the beast early in the spring or late in the fall because that is when they reduce the trims and you definitely feel it go faster.

I definitely think the change for flight of fear that you picked should have been to turn the trims off. There is a midcourse on flight of fear that brings you to a near dead stop and it prevents the 2nd half being what it could be. I recently rode poltergeist and since it doesn’t have trims like flight of fear does it tears through the 2nd half so imagine flight of fear with no midcourse that would be awesome if it tore through the 2nd half of the layout in complete darkness.

@@AirtimeThrills ...As a Canadian, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to take offense to this (kidding I love your content)

Ninja is the best one out there, then vortex. It used to be big bad wolf until they removed it. They should just rip out iron dragon and the bat, especially iron dragon.

Those rides aren't broken! Well maybe Invertigo is a little... I heard it was PTC that made them turn the train around on Racer because they weren't designed to go backwards so they were harder to maintain.

I’ve heard that cedar fair’s insurance company doesn’t want the racer going backwards as it wasn’t intended to do that

[@AirtimeThrills]

@@CCA_ makes more sense since it was just a year after CF took over they stopped it

[@aninterestingpenguin9374]

Your Invertigo idea is definitely a fantasy idea. The intense positive Gs on the ride would mean the bearings would not have a very long life, meaning the ride would become a maintenance nightmare.

Ok buzz killington

The best way to improve the park overall: add the RMC ground up son of beast with vertical loop already. Next year’s a great opportunity for the rides 25 year anniversary
