What is your favorite feature (part) of any roller coaster, Past or present at Kings Island?

I love the first drop on The Beast. (Notice I was the first replier too!) haha

Diamondback's first drop, the first corkscrew on Vortex or Flight of Fear's launch.

Beast's double helix. All day.

Son of Beast's loop. Vortexs batwing. Diamondbacks first drop and splashdown(aka water brake) Invertigo's cobra roll, Flight decks sweeping curve over the station,Firehawks loop,Adventure Express's tunnels and turns,KIng Cobra's loop, Screamin' Demons loop, Flyin aces turns, Son of Beasts problemsome rosebowl....uhhhh.....BLSC's helix....Beast's ravine drop before the lift hill(even though its very rough)and its double helix

The Crypt's hang time, Drop Tower's--well, drop, Adventure Express' tight lateral-filled turns and little pops of Arrow airtime, Son of Beast's first drop, Flight of Fear's 2 half, Firehawk loop, and last but certainly not least: The Monster's unpredictable rides.

The Crypt's hang time,

Sir, we are sorry to inform you, but this is not a flats thread, this is a coaster thread. The SD Bat coaster's (as I called it The Bat II) drifting, and The Beast's "ground running".

The Racer's last uphill section before the turnaround; when the front of the train is about half way up, just before the little chain lift section starts.(The back of the train is still coming down from the previous hill.)

Diamondback's first drop and The Beast's helix.

The Crypt's hang time,

Sir, we are sorry to inform you, but this is not a flats thread, this is a coaster thread.

Honestly, who cares?

BB1?

Terp, who phrased his answer in the form of a question, he said flatly.

The 215 foot first drop of Diamondback.

Son of Beast's first drop. No doubt about it, it was phenomenal.

Son of Beast's first drop. No doubt about it, it was phenomenal.

I would definitly agree with that.

The first drop on Son of Beast wasn't that great. The big one a little bit later was good though.

The smell of grease and clickety-clack of Vortex's chain dogs on the lift hill; The view of the "rest" of The Beast from atop its 1st lift hill; The faux squeak ambiance on AE's tiki lift; The airtime on the hump coming out of the turn by the police cars on BLSC; and, on FOF: ..........."clear."

The last tunnel on Adventure Express with the fist pumping guys. I've loved them since it was my first roller coaster ride ever.

I think my Favorite KI roller coaster feature would have to be the end of The Beast, starting when you go up the second lift hill, as you go plunging diagonally into a tunnel and helix, and then dashing back towards the station.

Diamondback's first drop, SOB's first drop, FOF's launch, The Beast's first lift hill, and I always liked the first little drop on Adventure Express as it turns you into the first tunnel. Also the last two inversions on Vortex.

The fire on BLST, the first curve on Firehawk, last inversion of FOF, last tunnel on Adventure Express, the 1st hill on Invertigo, the bend on DB, 1st hill on Vortex, racers' turn arounds, flight decks swoops by SOB, surf dog's (well, it's basically all the same) flying ace's hill, Woodstock express's hill, great pumpkin coaster the picture part. Oh my favorite part of SOB was when the ride finished.

But SOB the ride isn't finished....yet.

The smell of grease and clickety-clack of Vortex's chain dogs on the lift hill

Dude, the moment I read that part of your post I almost drooled. The clickety-clacking of Arrow chain dogs (and grease smell) is practically my most favorite noise EVER!!!!

I also love every single one of Vortex's elements, AE's final tunnel, FD's swinging (who DOESN'T love that?!?), The Beast's double helix, Flight of Fear's elements and the fact that you're in near total darkness, Firehawk's inversions, when you're going backwards on Invertigo......for me, the list goes on, and on, and on.

I also, absoulutly, love FOF's take off. sssshhhhoooommmm!
