Kings Island on "Ultimate Thrill"

Featured Replies

I found this video on YouTube and thought it was pretty neat. It talks about Drop Tower (then Drop Zone) and Son of Beast and has some great footage of each.

One thing though, around the 40 second mark, it claims that the ride opened in 2001. Is that correct? I was sure it was around 1999. If someone could reply with the exact year it opened that would be great.

So here is the video, enjoy!

That's actually been posted here before, I think, 95% sure. And yes, they have the incorrect date for Drop Tower's opening...it opened in 1999, not 2001. And that is a cool video, BTW...

...if only we knew what was to become of Son of Beast back then...

Cool video, thanks for posting. If you look closely at 7:34 there are some kids climbing on a fence. :)

Kings Island used to be about the ultimate thrill, same goes for Cedar Point, we are now in the B&M age.

Still say CP is still pretty thrilling...if you're not seeing that...wow

Especially considering there are 3 B&M's in the park and 5 Arrow rides, and then other manufacturers as well...

People need to get off of your horse from time to time
