With the care that's gone into The Racer it just effortlessly
flies through the track.
The Racer is running so good that as soon as you fly into the brake run,
roll into the station, and the lap bars are released it is real hard not
to sprint out of the station and back into line for one more ride.
The Drop Tower is sadly a rare Intamin Gyro Drop ride over in Kings
Island's "Action Zone"..
The Drop Tower, Invertigo, and Action Zone are leftovers from Kings
Island's Paramount Parks years. The Drop Tower back then was
called the Drop Zone Stunt Tower which was themed after a pretty
forgettable Wesley Snipes movie called "Drop Zone" and Invertigo was
known as "Face Off" after the completely insane Nicholas Cage and John
Travolta action pic.
Hidden in the back of the Action Zone is a must ride when visiting
Kings Island. The Bat is one of a handful remaining Arrow Dynamics
designed Suspended Coasters. It isn't boring and sedate like
Ohio's other Arrow Suspended at
Cedar Point. This one has some teeth to it and will give you a
great ride with plenty of directional changes and lots of "swing time".
