So, if you're looking for excitement and live in the Midwest, Kings Island is a great theme park to check into. Their newest roller coaster, Firehawk, has quickly become my favorite coaster ever!
The ride starts off in a sitting position and once the operators receive the all clear signal, the seats tilt back until you are laying flat, staring up at the sky. Next, it's just up, up and up one of those dreaded steep hills. This part is really relaxing and enjoyable. You are laying down at an incline and are able to take in the view of the rest of the park. Then, the ride flips you over to where the ground is all you can see and from there it's just a multitude of flips, loop-de-loops, and turns until the end of the ride. My favorite part about it is that, to me, it is almost as if I am flying and can pretend to be Superman for those 2 minutes.
My second favorite ride is The Beast. At 7,359 ft, this is the world's longest wooden roller coaster. That might be part of why I love it so much. Just the fact that you get more out of your half-hour wait in line, since it lasts double that of other roller coasters. This roller coaster is a little jerky but well worth it! My favorite part of this ride is the 141 foot fall that leads right into a pitch dark tunnel going around 65 mph.
For Firehawk, I would give it a rank of 9and The Beast a rank of 8. Let me know your opinion.
So, I've been told that Cedar Point also has some amazing rides that top Kings Island's but to my disappointment, I have not been able to test that hypothesis out yet. Hopefully soon I will have the chance to go there and will inform you about my conclusions when I do.

My husband has talked about that amusement park. This takes me back to a story about my late grand mother. She got stuck on the cliff hanger at Six Flags. She was 89 years old and was a nurse in a special unit at a local hospital and had to take her patients to Six Flags. The ride broke down while she was at the top and they tried getting her down with a hellicopter...haha! My grandmother was a stubborn Irish woman and she told them "The only way I'm coming down is with this ride..I will wait till it starts to work again!" They thought she was nuts...cause she was!
LOL!!! This is so funny! I had to tell my roommate this story and she got a kick out of it to! I wish I could have been there to see it happen! haha
