Mystic Timbers Roller Coaster (POV) - 4K Cinematic Series Kings Island

Everyone who enjoys the fun and thrills of riding a roller coaster will want to experience Mystic Timbers, voted “Best New Ride” in 2017 by Amusement Today. Themed to an abandoned lumber company, riders experience 16 airtime moments as they weave along 3,265 feet of track through wooded terrain, over water and through a mid-course tunnel at speeds up to 53 mph. The coaster is naturally exciting because of its setting in a densely wooded area. The natural rugged terrain and tunnel ensures a unique and memorable ride experience. Mystic Timbers was custom designed and built for the topography of Kings Island by Great Coasters International, Inc. (GCI) of Sunbury, Pa. The ride’s layout interacts with both the K.I. & Miami Valley Railroad and White Water Canyon attractions during its two-minute ride cycle. As the train climbs the 109-foot lift hill, a voice is heard saying, “Hey! Hey! I see up there! What do you think you’re doing? This is security. Seriously, guys, you need to take that truck and go home to your video games. This place is not safe. Whatever you do, don’t go in the shed!” And then an adventure into the unknown begins. #KingsIsland #MysticTimbers #rollercoasters

This is one of those rides that the POV doesnt do its justice. You FLY through this twisted layout and almost every turn has you pinned to the seat!

[TheGoldenSkelly]

The speed of this ride was unexpected as hell. Actually pretty fun besides i thought i was getting a speed boost after the shed opened. That was super wack

[timelessknight]

Can’t believe people say this is a rough ride. I rode it in the back row and it was an unbelievable ride. Thrill after thrill after thrill. Do people just not ride older wooden coasters and expect these to be B&M smooth? This is EXACTLY how a wooden coaster should sound like, feel like, ride like… Absolutely amazing ride.

[papasmurf]

It's all fun and games until you actully go on it 😂 The adrenaline rush of this ride is amazing!

I know many people complain about the shed, but it’s honestly an underrated idea. I applaud Kings Island for, instead of having it be a single monster or something that you know is coming every time you ride, there’s multiple monsters that are randomized, giving re-ride ability.

It definitely shows that when they meant, “What’s in the Shed?” They were aiming for the fact that it was random whatever was in the shed every time, and wasn’t a set monster.

[ootheboss]

I swear literally everybody's complaining about the shed and don't realize its an amazing idea for a brake run

[kristinfrederick]

I rode Mystic Timbers for the first time this weekend and it is now my favorite wooden rollercoaster! Such a great ride if you want prolonged intensity!

[daltonwike]

My favorite ride in the whole park, , the sheer speed and airtime is just relentless, and it gives the best night ride of any coaster I've ridden

[HUSTLER]

Don't be too fooled by the lack of size of this coaster, it's actually quite intense, especially at night. Ride it during October during their Halloween themed nights and there are no lights, can't see where you're going.

[catpeople]

This is my FAVORITE ROLLER COASTER EVER!!!!

[tadroid]

Awesome! Thanks. Haven't been to the park in about 5 years. Definitely hitting Mystic Timbers and the re-tracked Beast!

[Basement_Bro]

Rough ride? The back of The Beast is a rough ride. I love this ride. My friend and I walked on twice in a row about 2 weeks ago. We tried to predict what monster we would see each time. This thing FLIES. And I love the part that says “don’t go. Don’t go in the. Go in the shed. Go in the shed. Go in the shed.” This ride is fantastic!

[ScratchGlass]

Nice wooden coaster !!! I haven't been to K.I. since the bat was there...70's early 80's. The Beast is still the greatest coaster I've ever been on ....especially at night.

[williamevansjr]

This coaster surprised me. A ride doesn’t have to be large to be great like Maverick at Cedar Point.

[Zemiaza]

Riding it in the back is absolutely AMAZING and so thrilling! Definitely suggest it to anyone who’s gonna ride it!

[NVUSAttitude]

this is my favorite ride by far. i love wooden coasters, i have a soft spot for the racer and i can respect the beast, but this one was absolutely just fun.

ive rode
-the racer
-the beast
-mystic timbers
-adventure express
-backlot stunt coaster
-orion
-diamondback
-the bat
as well as
-the maverick
-gemini
-steel vengeance
-cedar creek mine ride
-rougarou (was my favorite at cedar)
-magnum xl 200
-the corkscrew
-iron dragon

and this tops all of those, call it preference but it does everything i like specifically at its best. the intensity, the speed, and it doesn't NEED fancy loops or corkscrews to be an absolutely fun ride, THATS how impressive this ride is. 11/10 go in the shed

[mcrinney]

Love how they always make you think you are breaking down on the lift hill

[junimoony]

The speed was very unexpected on this coaster, and I was zooming through the course and flying out of my seat! My family and I loved it. And while I was vibing to the music in the shed, it could’ve used a jumpscare, I was already getting anxious from the ambiance!

[sleepdeep]

Dude...KI has some of the smoothest woodies I have EVER been on. Maybe I’m jaded, cuz I cut my teeth on Hershey park woodies...A ride from the 40’s, GCI’s first and notoriously most rough woodie, and another GCI that’s rough for GCI standards.

[KazDM]

I rode this as my first Cedar Fair woodie this past week, omg what a fantastic ride. Smooth, intense laterals, fast pacing, great airtime, and some of the best night rides imaginable. I would call this Maverick's wooden brother. I live over 2k miles from KI and will fly back every year just for Mystic.
