That might be the best Orion POV yet. Well done, Rob! Love your content. Super underrated and under appreciated. Keep the good work you do!!! ❤

I swear, I've been listening to "Whee" for Decades and I still love it!

"That's right this is a family channel, we can't curse here... AW CRAP!!!" This just made my day!!! 🤣🤣🤣

I have severe anxiety which makes it so I can't do thrill rides no matter how much I want too. Thank you for doing vids like this I actually can feel like I'm on there with you without having a panic attack! So thank you so so much:)

The Bat history...if I remembered correctly, The Bat had many operational issues since its 1981 opening and shut down for good after the during the 1983 season, then dismantled in 1985 with the intent of building a new version. Before that happened, Paramount purchased KI and then gave the go ahead to proceed with the build (rebuild) of The Bat, but like the other rides, it would be themed after Paramount films, in this case... Top Gun. When Paramount sold KI to Cedar Fair 2006, Top Gun theme (along with the other Paramount themes) had to be removed by a certain date. Trying to keep with a jet theme, Top Gun was renamed to Flight Deck. In 2014, Flight Deck was repainted and renamed to The Bat celebrating its 30th anniversary of the original The Bat.

Banshee looks so smooth, peak engineering right there.

When I was young we went to Kings Island constantly. They used to have a monorail safari ride near King Cobra. For a few years there was a Days of Thunder ride that was just a theater but all the individual seats moved to the view of the cockpit. In front of the Eiffel Tower was a large fountain display. They would let people ice skate when it froze. And the Beast? Hands down the best wooden coaster I have ever ridden in my life and I have ridden many. It's a full on experience. The American Racer was grand also, going in reverse was a blast.

The Orion is hands down the best coaster in kings island! 1. The INSANE DROP 2. The coaster goes SO FAST that it's difficult to keep your eyes open, especially when you're in the front seat I rode this with my twin brother 3 times yesterday and it was that good. I want to go back there for that coaster.

Gotta give a shout out to the BAT! As someone who loves that free-swinging action of suspended coasters (Vortex at CW is my hometown one), the Bat seems to be a fine specimen indeed, twisting and turning through the trees. Also liking the old school traveling nature of the Beast. Thanks Robb!

BEAST IS BEST!!! Years of riding wooden roller coasters across the country and still The Beast is my absolute favorite. Remember riding the engineering debacle, Son of Beast, feeling like my neck had been snapped and my usually fearless sister, in tears. Shout out to The Voyage at Holiday World as #2. Thank you Theme Park Review for bringing us excitement and joy with your vids.

I enjoy these videos immensely. Thank you!
-
The Beast... nothing like it. Riding it in the dark is awesome!!!
-
The 540 degree helix at the end of The Beast is still my favorite ending to any coaster I've ever been on. That part never gets old, nor does that ride in general. Mystic Timbers is cool too, but I'll always prefer The Beast.

Ohio! This is the best one ever! Such a clean POV!
-
I love roller coasters. Always have. But I can't ride anymore. So I like these videos. Thanks for publishing it. 👍🏻👍🏻☮️🇺🇸
-
Inverted coasters are definitely my favorites!
-
Doing this video allows people like myself, who have physical limitations that stop us from riding, the chance to enjoy the experience! Not that I was ever a big coaster fan, I’ve ridden a few!! Also kudos to the absolute smoothness of your camera! Thanks again
-
The Beast.. Never been to KI and I'm from Ohio.. I'm dumb.. Would be obsessed with that coaster. Great videos!! Felt like I was riding it too.. My hearts beating fast

The Beast is like a tall cool drink that keeps coming until you are satisfied 🥤🍺
