I am going to on May2nd and only have a small amount of time and was wondering what are the five must ride coasters at the park?

The Beast

Firehawk

Son of Beast

Delirium

Flight of Fear

If I were you I would ride them in the order of Son of Beast, Delirium, Flight of Fear, Firehawk, and a night ride on The Beast!

Delirium is a coaster???

He asked for the five must ride coasters. They are, in order, for me, given the park's reputation, popularity, and the ride's qualities:

1. Beast

2. Adventure Express

3. Firehawk

4. Vortex

5. Flight of Fear

Under NO circumstances would I miss Adventure Express, which I consider to be tied for second best mine ride train in the country. (First, for me, would be Road Runner Express at Six Flags Fiesta Texas...second is a tie between Adventure Express at Kings Island and Runaway Train at Six Flags Great Adventure).

OK in ur small amount of time i would do these RIDES for the best expernce at KI

-Beast-

-Drop Zone-(a must!)

-Vortex-

-Flight of Fear-

-Delirium-

Now for just coasters

-Beast-

-Face/off-

-Flight of Fear-

-Vortex-

-Firehawk-

Must

Adventure Express

Son of Beast (Front seat only)

Vortex

Red Racer

Beast or Firehawk

Skip

Face/off

Blue Racer

Flight of Fear

Italian Job Stunt Track

I don`t know. I`d put Flight of Fear on the must ride list at Kings Island. It definitely would go on a must ride list before Adventure Express in my opinion. The thrill factor and speed of Flight of Fear makes it a much more thrilling ride then what Adventure Express is.

1. Beast

2. Vortex

3. Flight of Fear

4. Adventure Express

5. Flight Deck

Call me an old softy if you must, but there's something about the older rides that I just love.

***Bonus ride if you have time------>Firehawk

The thrill factor and speed of Flight of Fear makes it a much more thrilling ride then what Adventure Express is.

A ride doesn't have to be thrilling to be fun.

No, you are right, and to each their own. I would simply rather ride Flight of Fear over Adventure Express if given a choice between those two attractions.

Really, I probably would too. Although, I love AE.

It should be illegal to go to KI, and not ride The Racer.

It's been there from the begining.

:) The Racer

:lol: The Vortex

B) Drop Tower

:D Delirium ( an Absolute MUST) so fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:The Beast (A classic long woodie, fun!)

Is Drop Zone still Drop Zone or was it changed to Drop Tower?

The Beast - Even though its rough I enjoy the h...eck out of it :lol:

Stunt Track

Flight of Fear

Firehawk

Vortex!

Ive never been on Drop Tower! The only ride in the park Ive never ridden!

Considering the parks admission is 29.99-44.99. I think that people should be entitled to whatever they want to ride, not just the oldest coasters in the park.

On another note, my top 5 are.....

1.The Beast

2.AE

3.Red Racer

4.Flight of Fear

5. Fairly Odd Coaster(Seriously, it may be small, but it IS FUN)

1. The Beast

2. Flight Deck-I know she isn't much to look at anymore, but, just after The Beast, funnest ride in the park IMO.

3. Racer

4. Vortex

5. Son of Beast (even though I have "retired" from riding it).

^ I always thought it was a fun ride too but people always told me I was stupid. I guess it just needs to be lengthened badly. BUT ANYWAY

1. Son of Beast

2. Firehawk

3. Flight of Fear

4. Beast

5. Vortex

Bonus if you have time: Backlot Stunt Coaster.

I like coasters that are completely unique to a park, we really only have three that are like no other, 'The Beast", "SOB", and one of the best arrow loopers "Vortex". All three I ride everytime I'm in the park.

1st: Flight Deck

2nd: Son of Beast

3rd: The Racer

4th: Firehawk

5th: The Beast

In that order. :)

Racer is also unique.....

Rebel Yell at Kings Dominion is a copy, now I will give you that Racer is a few years older, and we have the ACE sign.

Rebel Yell is NOT a copy (nor is Thunder Road). This is a very common misconception. To begin with, the layouts are not the same. You couldn't put the motion theaters between the two parts of Rebel Yell as the coasters do not veer off from each other before changing direction to make the return run, as Racer does.

See Rebel Yell here:

http://www.rcdb.com/ig88.htm?picture=4

Compare Racer:

http://www.rcdb.com/ig69.htm?picture=7

Rebel Yell is also much slower (56mph vs. 61mph, both measured when they opened), nearly fifty feet shorter in length, not as tall, and though shorter in length is a fifteen second longer ride. Rebel Yell is almost always much, much rougher, too. Having ridden both sets of coasters far more than 99 percent of the posters here (or more), I think I should know. By the way, I rode Racer the day it opened....

1.The Beast

2.Firehawk

3.Flight of Fear

4.The Racers

5.Vortex

Also a thrill ride to not miss is Drop Tower.

1. SOB (best ride in park!)

2. Vortex

3. Flight Deck

4. Flight of Fear

5. Beast

but if Crypt is open, you have to ride it! CF did a great job on this ride, i am now inlove with it!

Flight of Fear

Firehawk

Flight Deck

Vortex

The Beast

In any order, except The Beast should be last.

Flight of Fear (indoors and looping LIM), The Beast (longest wooden coaster in the world), The Racer (Red, Blue, or both), Flight Deck (flying coaster), and Vortex are my favorite 5 coasters at KI.

My 5 coasters, if I had to pick...

The Beast

Firehawk

Red Racer

Vortex

Invertigo

Also gotta do Scooby Doo and the Haunted Mansion and Eiffel Tower.

Flight of Fear (indoors and looping LIM), The Beast (longest wooden coaster in the world), The Racer (Red, Blue, or both), Flight Deck (flying coaster), and Vortex are my favorite 5 coasters at KI.

I didnt know Flight Deck was a flying coaster? I could have sworn is an Arrow Suspended.

1. Beast

2. Firehawk

3. Drop Tower

4. Flight of Fear

5. The Crypt- A big round of applause to Cedar Fair for transforming one of the worst rides in the park (aka Tomb Raider.) to one of the best.

1) Flight of Fear

2) The Beast (night's best)

3) Firehawk

4) Son of Beast

5) Vortex

---------Adventure Express if you have time, its always a walk-on
