After two rides on The Beast it was time to head on over to Mystic Timbers to see just what is in the shed?



For those who don't know Mystic Timbers was added to Kings Island in 2017.  It was designed by Skyline Design and built by Great Coasters International. 



Mystic Timbers is a twisty out and back into the woods that very much feels like Kings Island wanted a clone of Prowler at Worlds of Fun.  As for the shed that I mentioned earlier for those who haven't been on this coaster is one of the block brakes that was added to give this coaster enough blocks to run three trains.  Surrounding you is theming and several screens that randomly play one of the three storylines for what caused the Miami River Lumber Company to mysteriously close up years ago.  You either encounter giant bats, a giant snake, or evil trees that are coming for you.  It's all random which storyline you get.



Diamondback is one of my favorite coasters at Kings Island so I was ready for a few laps on it.



If you are of the camp that Orion is a hyper coaster and not a giga then this is Kings Island's original hyper.
