Off to Kings Island Cincinatti

Made it here in one pice after a four hour drive. Had the afternoon to myself so I decided to go to the park for half a day, as the area was forecasting showers for the next day.

This park has the longest rollercoaster in the world, called the Beast. Its is so big that you can't take any pictures of it as you can't see it amongst the hills and trees. it was a great ride at 4minutes and 20 seconds. The smart allec kid in front of me said that it took 4 minutes to get up the inclines.

The other great ride here is firehawk. This one loads you up in a horizontal position and then when it get;s you up the incline it flips you over so you arms are dangling towards the earth. It is a coaster that makes you feel like you are flying. It was a great experieince. Shame about the slow loading times. It was pretty intricate.

I managed to ride everything that was there, in the afternoon. This means that I can go to Chicago a day earlier and do some touring there for two days, and then it is back to Oz.

Cheers
Stephen
