Mystic Timbers (HD Front Seat POV) - Kings Island

Mystic Timbers is an excellent wooden roller coaster that opened at Kings Island Amusement Park in Ohio in 2017. This GCI ride created lots of fuss when it opened as everyone wanted to know 'what was in the shed' - so take a front seat ride and find out!

When the "Wicker Man" project finished in a pleasing way I thought of Mystic Timbers, too! :'D They became surprisingly great woodies! Oh so did InvadR!

[@DuecePiece]

Great addition to a great lineup of coasters! The only thing in the shed is disappointment but the ride itself is wonderful!

[@davidjellis]

I agree with your comment on the coaster...but regarding the shed, yes it was over-hyped, but Holovis did some nice effects in there, and despite there being not much in there, it's far more entertaining than just sitting on a brake run :-)

[@DuecePiece]

davidjellis yes definitely! The best breakrun possible and a quick break from the summer heat! I didn't mind it, but as much hype as they put behind it I feel like people were bound to be let down- either way it's all good this ride is amazing!

[@andrewpike2398]

I definitely think the shed was overhyped but I personally think the ride itself is the best ride at kings island imo

[@melissamccallmaffin3773]

I just rode this coaster right now

[@Coasterenthusiast94]

Knowing how great Mystic is, you have a winner with the Wicker Man.

[@paulboncaldo3692]

Great job, David! It looks good. It seems to be near my favorite ride, Diamondback.

[@davidjellis]

Diamondback is a great ride. I still have POV to upload for that one!

[@catherinebreitfeller669]

This is awesome 😎

[@lillyortega4602]

MAGICAL RIDE

[@davidjellis]

totally agreed - one of the finest wooden coasters around

[@jaclynard3137]

This is my fav roller coster

[@lowkeylikelowkey4188]

oooh I HAVE TO RIDE THIS ONE!!

[@proto-guest4511]

I been on that ride it got me nervous and at the end it was so scary I enjoyed the ride

[@spicyboiz278]

great video

[@davidjellis]

Thanks :-)

[@paulasowers6948]

Fun coaster with lots of airtime. 4/13/2018

[@danman7564]

That scream at the end

[@ACHistory]

That person sounded like a donkey 😆

[@craftylady.1410]

I see u made it on mystic timbers it is the most awesome ride its fast a little bumpy but not to bumpy m y favorite coaster there so far

[@davidjellis]

It's a very good wooden coaster!

[@paybackgemasomg5762]

Buen vidio

[@billieismywifey8703]

this roller coaster isn’t exactly scary like i thought it would be it’s just VERY FAST!!

[@Paneeks1960]

Lots of fast twists and turns. How is the airtime on this one David? Excellent footage of the shed. ~ Rob/Boston

[@davidjellis]

There's some nice pops of airtime on the coaster...like most GCIs it isn't the main feature but surprised me how good it was. I think you would see a bit more of the shed effects from further back in the train, but we only rode twice, row 1 and 3 so you only just get to see the action before arriving back in the station. Excellent idea of that holding area...far nicer than just having a brake run!

[@dietpepsifan1000_vortex]

@@davidjellis whats in the shed

[@ACHistory]

@@dietpepsifan1000_vortex A disappointing CGI screen.

[@crashcoaster3852]

Kind of overshot the brake run there.

[@salstrom1398]

Just rode it for the first time

[@davidjellis]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@TheLewistownTrainspotter8102]

The shed is lame. Admittedly, I agree with the person who said that at least it makes the period where you're sitting on the brake run waiting for the other train to leave the station so you can go in and unload a lot more bearable because you're not sitting outside in the summer heat.

[@davidjellis]

I think the idea of a themed brake run is a cool one...I guess it feels disappointing due to the shed being over-hyped by the park's marketing guys

[@ashleyfarley7337]

What happens in the shed ?

[@davidjellis]

I can't possibly say :-)

[@nibora4895]

This ride shakes the living shit out of you!!! I had such a headache after I rode this thing it wasn't even funny😖😵😖😵

[@davidjellis]

It was pretty good when I rode it.

[@paulschweikert7530]

Have you met Beast? Lol

[@J51994]

Did this replace son of beast?

[@davidjellis]

It covers some of the same ground I think

[@ghost_pirate1383]

I think banchee did. Im not quite sure so don't quote me

[@tjcorbean6537]

No the beast is still running

[@Kryptojackjr]

I think he was talking about Son of Beast, which was demolished after less than a decade of service.

[@my_commenting_account]

no its over by diamondback. rumored return of SoB is flying around though

[@my_commenting_account]

its a shame RMC wasnt behind this build. they could have done something great with a similar layout. I hope they are behind the rumored return of Son of Beast

[@davidjellis]

You're kidding right? This is one of the finest wooden coasters in the US...doesn't need any RMC gimmicks, it's a world class ride just as it is.

[@paybackgemasomg5762]

Suscribete

[@craftylady.1410]

I met u at Coney island

[@davidjellis]

Hi Veronica - I remember ...by the coaster there.

[@craftylady.1410]

@@davidjellis yes when u going back to kings island i finally conquered my fear and rode banshee an vortex whats ur opinion on invertigo an flight of fear are they super jerky

[@davidjellis]

@@craftylady.1410 I won't be going back for a while to be honest - nothing planned in the US at the moment, but no doubt I will be back there at some point in the future. I loved Banshee and both Mystic Timbers and Diamondhead were very impressive. I thought Invertigo was pretty decent when I rode it and Flight of Fear was good too. I didn't find them too rough.

[@funnymancaleb]

Woah Wait! I thpught it was a mutated snake Not a huge bat! Or maybe it was something hidden.

[@danman7564]

It changes

[@joelbeehn]

How was your ride? *WAAAAAAHAAOOOOUUUUUUIU*

[@chancethetraveler458]

LegateeJB how was your ride

[@joelbeehn]

@@chancethetraveler458 Pretty good! I don't think mystic timbers even touches the voyage but still a fantastic woodie.

[@chancethetraveler458]

LegateeJB no I thought you where going to finish the like with WAAOUUU

[@wesguffey4503]

The ending feels idk really abrupt I guess? I mean if that shed was at the beginning then maybe it would fit better but the shed and projections just feel anticlimactic

[@davidjellis]

It's just a cool way to make a brakerun more interesting really!

[@spicyboiz278]

I've road it and its rllly fast O.o

[@jasonok1436]

This is an unpopular opinion but I found the ride to be really, really boring.. the beast is much more fun imo

[@davidjellis]

We are all entitled to our own opinion - I have a different one (i.e. I thought Mystic Timbers was a better coaster than the Beast) but that's fine with me :-)

[@timothywait9457]

Jasson ok correct and so is Thirteen at Alton Towers

This ride is not that good and the shed crap didn't make up for it. 6/10 would skip if it had a line

[@davidjellis]

Each to their own...out of curiosity what coasters DO you rate highly?

[@timothywait9457]

Kyle Blake correct it is ot that good Thirteen at Alton Towers is Much Much Beater
