The Top Gun Roller Coaster at Paramount's Kings Island, Kings Mills, Ohio

I do have a thing for Arrows suspended coasters.  They may not be the most thrilling but at least they're fun.

Gillette Mach 3,  I mean Top Gun is built over some fantastic terrain which really adds to the ride.

As you can see Top Gun really hits the brakes with some serious force.  If it were up to me I would have added about a thousand feet of track to really put all of that force to some good use.

Here's Dave Althoff heading out for a nice clean shave on Gillette Mach 3: The Ride.

The Son Of Beast Roller Coaster at Paramount's Kings Island, Kings Mills, Ohio


The large structure towering over Top Gun and much of Paramount's Kings Island is the Son of Beast which was thankfully not running today.  Not many coasters make me not want to ride them ever again, actually this is the only one so you won't find me filling up SOB's queue ahead of you should you chose to ride it.
