The old Coney Island area is a great part of the park with many flat rides like the carousel, bumper cars and the flyers as well as several coasters.



One of the rides I have become addicted to over the past few years are the flyers.  There's just something about them that is perfect.   Now if I could only get over my motion sickness so that I could be able to do some aerobatics on this.



The Troika is one of those classic spinning rides that look great but I just can't ride.  I don't know what it is but spinning rides and Imax theatres just give me intense motion sickness.



The center piece of the Coney Island area is the great John Allen designed Racer.  This is the coaster that launched the coaster boom and brought wooden coasters back into the limelight.



The Racer is a great out and back coaster with a decent amount of airtime.  In my previous visits to Paramount's Kings Island this was super rough but as of this year the Racer is riding pretty well and is an enjoyable ride.
