Mystic Timbers turnaround is so much fun and such a confusing few
seconds it takes a few times to wrap your head around just what exactly
happens to you.
Mystic Timbers is wrapped around Kings Island's Whitewater Canyon
rapids ride. I do have to say that when we finally took Mystic
Timbers for a ride after sunrise I saw the concrete beneath the ride and
thought it was a "pathway". Having never been on Whitewater Canyon
I had forgotten that Kings Island had a rapids ride and that the
"pathway" really is the rapids trough. The next time I visit I
will have to take it for a ride as it should offer some fantastic
views of Mystic Timbers.
On the way out and on the way back Mystic Timbers has plenty of
Negative-G's to keep this pair of airtime fanatics very happy.
Like the infamous Crystal Beach Cyclone from 1926 outside of the break
run and the station there is no straight track on Mystic Timbers.
No matter where you are along the course there is always a little hill
or a twist of track to throw your body this way or that way.
