My family and I have the gold pass, 1st time. It's a great place to go and have a bit of fun. I'm gonna head there tomorrow by myself, try to get there at open time and do your recommended plan of attack. I have yet to be able to ride everything.

Great video. We visited in May 2024 and found Flight of Fear to have the slowest moving line so hit that one first before Orion, which gets through the line much quicker. Sadly Beast wasn't operating but we got the rides in pretty much the order you suggested and had a fantastic trip! Diamondback was probably my favourite by a whisker too over Mystic Timbers and Orion! 👍

Good video. You make some good points on some of the coasters. I disagree with your takes on Mystic Timbers & The Beast. You also forgot to mention Backlot Stunt Coaster. Folks need to hit that pretty early because of low capacity. I need to get a night ride on Mystic Timbers, because all the rides I have are day rides. MT is not even in my Top 4 @ KI. Maybe it’s the restraints ratcheting down? The Beast is an Awesome woodie! It is running so smooth since the retrack in 2023. Have you rode it since then? Nothing compares to a night ride either. The Racer got a complete retrack before opening this year. I hear it’s butter smooth. I’ll find out on Friday.

Kings Island doesn’t have a standout coaster?! Have you heard of the Beast? The longest wooden coaster in the world. There was a 3D arcade game that simulated the Beast. They had them in Europe. Go into a pub and ride the Beast while drinking a pint. It’s a legend.

Kinda crazy to think that mystic timbers is smooth
