This weekend: Kings Island debuts massive wooden coaster

The era of wooden coasters isn’t quite dead yet. Kings Island will debut it’s newest thrill ride – this time built of wood and nails (30,000 lbs worth) on Saturday, April 15.

The ride, named Mystic Timbers, is themed to the area surrounding a lumber company becoming overrun by a mysterious medusa-like overgrowth of vines as nature moves in and reclaims its land. Mystic Timbers will stand 109 feet at its highest point and riders will feature 16 airtime moments, weave along 3,265 feet of track at speeds up to 53 mph along steep cliffs, down ravines, over water and through an extreme S-turn, in a densely-wooded area.
