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.
Speaking of favorites you can't visit Kings Island without spending some
time with The Racer.
The Racer was designed by the legendary John Allen and opened with
the park in 1972.
