Backlot Stunt Coaster
On the Backlot Stunt Coaster, riders experience what it is like to be a stunt car driver as their car races out onto the track. Each car is tricked out with audio special effects that add to the multi-sensory sensation of the experience, and as the stunt cars peel out, riders are transported into the stunt chase sequence. Drivers twist through a parking garage, dodge near collisions, race down stairs, chase through tunnels and narrowly escape massive explosions triggered by gunfire from a helicopter.
HEIGHT REQUIREMENT: 48" MIN

The Beast
Come feel the excitement as The Beast – arguably the greatest wooden roller coaster ever built – unleashes its awesome power on the unsuspecting.

The Racer
The twin-tracked Racer is a traditional wooden out-and-back coaster and credited for re-igniting the coaster building boom in the early 1970’s, thus beginning the second golden age of the roller coaster. To honor the Racer’s staying power, the American Coaster Enthusiasts named this popular ride an “ACE Roller Coaster Landmark” during a ceremony at the park last year, making it one of only 14 coasters in the world with landmark status. In addition, the Racer is also notable for its appearance in the Cincinnati Kids episode of The Brady Bunch, filmed at the park in 1973.
