I like that the coaster is set away from the hustle-and-bustle of the park’s Action Zone area. The video below will give you an up-close look at Flight of Fear with the lights on: The 0-54 mph launch is forceful, the four inversions are snappy and the 2,700-foot-long layout is well-paced aside from a mid-course brake run. Built during the movie-inspired Paramount era of Kings Island, the coaster has retained its alien/UFO theme. But you won’t see it from the midway - Flight of Fear is totally enclosed.įlight of Fear’s heavily themed queue is one of my favorite things about the coaster. I was a little disappointed in the coaster’s anticlimactic ending (the aforementioned enclosed lift hill that returns riders to the station), but I appreciated the extra effort made on the theming and animatronics.įlight of Fear is a Premier Rides LIM coaster - I call it a “spaghetti bowl” coaster due to its tightly twisted layout. The coaster’s three tunnels add even more fun to the mix. It’s one of the more intense and unique Arrow Dynamics mine trains I’ve ridden. It’s a modest increase in intensity from the park’s smaller offerings such as Great Pumpkin Coaster and Woodstock Express. But if you can get past that, it does provide a dizzying - but perhaps not vertigo-inducing - ride experience.įlying Ace Aerial Chase is a Snoopy-themed, family-friendly suspended coaster, also manufactured by Vekoma. Vekoma’s boomerang-style coasters are notoriously rough, and unfortunately, Invertigo was no different. If you’ve ridden one of those, you’ll find Invertigo to provide a familiar ride experience. Invertigo is the suspended equivalent to Vekoma’s popular boomerang coaster. Note: I haven’t ridden the Great Pumpkin Coaster (I’m too tall with no kids of my own), so I didn’t include it in my ranking. So let’s get started with the steel coasters. I separated my rankings into steel and wood categories, as I think it’s unfair to clump the two together when a park has so many coasters. After visiting the park several times over the last 10 years, I decided to take on the challenging task of ranking them. Kings Island is home to an impressive lineup of 14 roller coasters, one of which is a two-track racing coaster.
