Paramount's Kings Island runs one of The Racer's rains facing forward and one backwards.

Unlike many racing coasters at other parks Paramount's Kings Island actually tries to send them off together which really adds to the ride experience.

The Racer is my favorite wooden coaster at Paramount's Kings Island. I know a lot of Beast fans are cringing with terror and calling me nasty names under their breaths but there's no airtime on the Beast while The Racer has plenty.

I do enjoy riding "recar" which is the backwards version of Racer. Just being able to see where you've come from instead of where you're going adds a nice dimension to the ride.
