Okay I have returned from my field trip to King's ISland! We left the school at around 8:30 and arrived at around 9:00 - 9:30... When the park opened I went straight with some of my friends and hit the rides! Perhaps you'd want to know all we rode? Okay! These rides are in sequential order in the order I rode them .
SEQUENCE: Ride Name - Type - Thrill Rating (1 - Low; 2 - Mild; 3 - Moderate; 4 - High; 5 - Aggressive)
Viking Fury (2x) - Thrill Ride - 3
Flight Deck (2x) - Rollercoaster - 4
Adventure Express - Rollercoaster - 5
Shake, Rattle, Roll! - Thrill Ride - 3
Skyline Chili! - Restaurant
The Beast - Rollercoaster - 5
Diamondback - Rollercoaster - 5
The Crypt - Thrill Ride - 5
Delirium - Thrill Ride - 5
The Racer - Rollercoaster - 4
The Vortex - Rollercoaster - 5
Flight Deck (again!) - Rollercoaster - 5
Adventure Express (again) - Rollercoaster - 5
The Racer (again) - Rollercoaster - 4
The Crypt (again) - Thrill Ride - 5
The Vortex (again) - Rollercoaster - 5
Eiffel Tower - Transport Ride - 2
And to answer some questions as well as give some interesting facts about King's Island:
- Their newest ride for 2011 is WindSeeker! It's a thrill ride with a rating of 4 and takes you 301 feet (30 stories above the park) into the air and swings you around and around at like 50-60 mph! The reason I couldn't ride it was because it got struck by lightning on one of the storm days...
- Son of Beast has been closed down for good. It's not even on the park maps anymore and they've taken all the signs down about it. Too many injuries have hit on that ride so it's down for good...
- Diamondback is KI's fastest, tallest, and meanest rollercoaster! It has a 210 foot-hill and shoots you at speeds up to 80 mph! I loved it! It's smoother than any other ride I've ever ridden!
- The Crypt was new to me. Today was the first time I rode it! And I gotta say, it was pretty awesome. It's a large room with this thing inside that swings you around and around a bar and sometimes even going upside down!
- An interesting fact I learned... Some of you may know the King Cobra rollercoaster that existed there a while ago. Like, '90s while ago. Well, I've read that evidence of it is still there! It's rotting behind the Son of Beast... I've never ridden Son of Beast before it closed, so I didn't actually see it, but I've read that it's still there...
- My all-time favorite rollercoaster at KI is FireHawk. I didn't ride it though because it broke down. Diamondback places second.
- My all-time favorite thrill ride at KI is Delirium (today was my first day riding it!). Viking Fury places second.
- My all-time favorite restaurant at KI is the Rivertown Junction Hall All-You-Can-Eat Buffet! Skyline places second.
