King's Island Photos

By -
Back in September I was able to take a trip out to Ohio to visit Kings Island. Since I only had a few hours at the park, I focused more on my experience than taking photos. 
This park was incredibly nice, and I found it to be a great mix of Knott's Berry Farm, Kings Dominion, and Carowinds!





This park is home to some incredible coasters. 
Banshee is an incredible inverted coaster that flawless mixes the old, snappy style of B&M coasters, with their new subdued and smooth style rides. 

Mystic Timbers, the parks terrain GCI wooden coaster was relentless from start to finish, while still providing a smooth ride experience.
The Racer was a fun, classic wooden coaster, who's experience was brought up a level with the side-by-side racing aspect, and was just pure fun!
Adventure Express, the parks Arrow Mine Train, was actually a highlight. This ride is just plain fun in all of its quirky glory!
Invertigo is the parks Vekoma Inverted Boomerang, and was actually quite fun and smooth! I wish these had caught on more, as I really enjoyed this ride.




The Bat is the parks Arrow Suspended coaster, and it was a blast! The swinging motion really added to this ride, and it was the perfect mix of thrills and family friendly fun!

Diamondback is the parks B&M Hyper Coaster, and was such a fun coaster. To my surprise, this coaster was packed full of forces and airtime, and its trip through the woods was a great element!

Vortex was the parks Arrow Looping Coaster, and it was an absolute blast. I am so sad that this has since been removed, as it just felt classic. The layout was super forceful, and had just the right amount of quirks.


The Beast. Wow. This ride is incredible. I waited until it was dark out to ride it, and it was certainly worth it. This wooden coaster is incredibly unique, and goes on for what feels like miles. Being completely the the woods means pitch black night rides. I was lucky enough to board the final train of the night at 1am, and the energy on that train was something special, and something I hope to experience again soon!










I really enjoyed this park as a whole, and had an incredible time! I personally felt that there was a great coaster line up, but this park feels a little incomplete. I think if they were able to add an RMC or Premier rides coaster, along with the 2020 addition Orion, Kings Island could have one of the best line ups in the country!

Thanks for visiting my short trip report from Kings Island!

This is a report about the Production Tour on Revenge Of The Mummy at Universal Studios Florida. This report may contain spoilers for those who have not yet done the tour, but are planning on doing it. Disclaimer: All Backstage photos and videos were taken with permission from my tour guide. Apparently some tour guides do not allow for photos, so be sure to ask the Team Member accompanying on the tour. The Mummy Production Tour takes guests through both the overflow and regular queue, paying attention to the props and explaining everything. The overflow queue is only used during peak times, so it is not usually seen by the public. The theme of the queue is that the riders are extras for the Mummy movie, and there is a huge debate regarding if the "curse" is real or not. The first big room in the overflow queue is the "Blue Room"  The "Blue Room has many blueprints of movie props and photos from the movies on the walls.

The Incredible Hulk Coaster- Review

The Incredible Hulk Coaster is truly... Incredible . This one of a kind B&M Launch Coaster stands 110ft above the lagoon at Universal's Islands of Adventure. The ride originally opened with the park in 1999, but recently just reopened from a total rebuild. In this review, I will be going through different categories and rating the ride on a 1-10 scale.. Theming and Scenery The Hulk is themed to a science experiment led by    General Thaddeus Ross . It explains that the volunteers (riders) will be exposed to Gamma radiation, and become a Hulk. The queue has some detailed physical sets and a really  interesting CGI video. The launch tunnel is also enclosed inside of a Gamma Ray Gun of sorts, which looks really good from the outside. Also, every time a train launches, the roar of Hulk is played through a speaker outside the tunnel. The rides location over the lagoon does look amazing too! Queue/Off Ride Theming: 8/10 The ride vehicles are typical B&M Sitdown t
