In
1972, Kings Island opened with
great accolades being heaped
on a very special ride: The
Racer.
Now, 30 years later, this classic
wooden coaster is still flying
through the tracks, giving riders
a chance to experience the coaster
two different ways - backwards
or forwards. The Racer charges
through its 3400 ft. course
at speeds up to 55 mph, topping
the speeds of many of the newer
steel coasters in the park.
A basic out-and-back woodie,
you'll experience plenty of
airtime - or the feeling of
weightlessness - throughout
the circuit of this Coney-style
classic.
Central Tip: For the best "airtime,"
ride in the very last car of
the rear-facing train. |
