I have not ridden any of Kings Island's kiddie coasters.

Wow, epic 6-year old bump.

 

And might as well include my personal rankings...

1. The Beast

2. Banshee

3. Diamondback

4. Flight of Fear

5. Vortex

6. The Bat

7. The Racer

8. Backlot Stunt Coaster

9. Adventure Express

10. Firehawk

11. Surf Dog

12. Invertigo

13. Woodstock Express

14. Great Pumpkin Coaster

 

To be honest though, I don't think Kings Island actually has any truly bad roller coasters as I enjoyed them all. If I were grading these, even Invertigo at the very bottom would get a C, maybe even a C+. (Haven't really ridden Woodstock Express in ages and Great Pumpkin is a very kiddie ride I have yet to also ride in ages) And everything else would be a "B" or higher. Though I have not been to very many parks yet (just KI and Holiday World for now) and thus may have to adjust this scale should I ride more and more great roller coasters in the future. Or maybe I am just optimistic and will probably find way more roller coasters enjoyable instead of not as I get to more parks.

 

Also, IMO, this belongs in polls, not the general KI forum...but whatever. No big deal really.

 

EDIT: I went ahead and added Surf Dog, Woodstock Express, and Great Pumpkin Coaster to this list. I don't really consider Surf Dog a coaster but some posters were adding it, so I did as well...I have a reason though. It'll come in another post later.

 

EDIT #2: Ehh, nevermind. What I was thinking wouldn't work out. I'll leave this post as-is anyways.
