Adventure Express at Kings Island, Kings island, Ohio

With Adventure Express using the terrain to its benefit it is a little hard to get photos of most of the coasters layout.

Before we are done with Adventure Express I have to point out some more of the new theming that has been added to this classic.  For example the sign for the Adventure Express Excursion Transportation Co. sign is not necessary but it adds to the theming and really shows how proud the park is of their rides.

If you look to the left as Adventure Express returns you to the station after narrowly avoiding doom from some ancient curse there is my favorite bit of added theming.  The barrel is labeled "Arrow Cargo Company" as a nod to Adventure Express' designer Arrow Dynamics.  All of these little things just add to the ride and breathe a little new life to this park favorite.

The Racer Rollercoaster at Kings Island, Kings island, Ohio

Speaking of favorites you can't visit Kings Island without spending some time with The Racer.
