Former roller coasters[edit]
| Ride | Year Opened | Year Closed | Manufacturer (Model) | Description | Ref(s) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Bat | 1981 | 1983 | Arrow Development (Suspended) | Prototype suspended coaster. Although intense, the ride had a fair share of downtime as a result of the designers not banking the track as they did with later suspended coasters. This concept was reintroduced with Top Gun (later renamed Flight Deck) in 1993, which was significantly more reliable. The Bat closed in 1983 and was demolished in 1984. It was replaced with Vortex, the world's first six-looping roller coaster, which opened in 1987. The Bat's name would eventually be reused, as Flight Deck was renamed The Bat for the 2014 season. | [1] |
| Bavarian Beetle | 1972 | 1978 | SDC (Galaxi) | A steel roller coaster. Originally operated at Coney Island, Cincinnati, Ohio, as Galaxi (1970–1971). | [2] |
| Firehawk | 2007 | 2018 | Vekoma | A Vekoma Flying Dutchman coaster. Originally known as X-Flight at Geauga Lake from 2001-2006. Relocated to Kings Island in efforts to downside Geauga Lake. Reopened at Kings Island the following year under the new name Firehawk and with a changed track color, from green to black at Geagua Lake to red and yellow. On September 27, 2018, Kings Island announced that they would remove the ride from the park following the 2018 season due to it operating sporadically and that the manufacturer, Vekoma, had stopped supporting the model and therefore parts were increasing expensive and hard to find. | [3] |
| King Cobra | 1984 | 2001 | TOGO | Prototype Stand-up roller coaster. It was the first stand up coaster with a loop in the United States. It was taken down in 2002 because TOGO had gone out of business making it harder to find new parts. King Cobra's track was scrapped in December 2006, and eventually portions were sent to Kings Dominion to be used as parts for its sister installation, Shockwave. | [4] |
| Screamin' Demon | 1977 | 1987 | Arrow Development | Also known as The Demon. First looping roller coaster at Kings Island and one of the first in the country to run forwards and backwards through a loop. The ride was sold and relocated to Camden Park in West Virginia where it was renamed to Thunderbolt Express. It last operated there in 1999 and was demolished in November 2004. | [5] |
| Scooby's Ghoster Coaster | 1998 | 2005 | Caripo (Batflyer) | Prototype suspended roller coaster (billed as the first suspended coaster for kids). The ride had poor capacity and roughness complaints. Removed prior to the 2006 season as a part of the change from Hanna-Barbera Land to Nickelodeon Universe. | [6] |
| Son of Beast | 2000 | 2009 | Werner Stengel /Roller Coaster Corporation of America | Son of Beast was the first wooden roller coaster with a vertical loop and at the time the only wooden hypercoaster. In response to 27 injuries that occurred on July 9, 2006,[7] Cedar Fair installed lighter trains acquired from the Hurricane: Category 5 roller coaster at the former Myrtle Beach Pavilion and removed the loop in order for the new trains to complete the circuit. It reopened on July 4, 2007, but closed indefinitely on June 23, 2009, following another injury report.[8] Park officials confirmed on March 15, 2010, that they had no plan to reopen the ride.[9] It was removed from Kings Island's park map and the ride list on the official web site in early 2010.[10][11] After reviewing all options, Kings Island officials announced on July 27, 2012, that Son of Beast would be taken down to allow for more park expansion.[12][13] The lift hill was demolished on November 20, 2012, at 11:02 a.m. ET. An inverted roller coaster, Banshee, was opened on the former Son of Beast site on April 18, 2014, and the station is now used for the Haunt attraction Wolf Pack. | [14] |
Former rides[edit]

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Action Theater | 1994 | 2013 | An indoor simulator ride with two theaters, each with seats that vibrated and moved through quick tilting actions in sync with the film on display.

A very catchy theme song played throughout the ride, which included the lines 'Yabba dabba dabba doo, bosom-buddy Barney too, and Scooby-Dooby where are you.' In 1984, the ride (and the song) was completely changed over to a Smurf theme, and after 1991 the boats were removed altogether during the conversion to The Phantom Theater. Since then, the ride has weathered a couple more theme changes such as Scooby-Doo & The Haunted Castle in 2003 and its current theme Boo Blasters on Boo Hill in 2010. | |
| Flight Commander | 1990 | 1995 | Intamin | Flight trainer. A 32-year-old Ohio woman fell to her death from the ride in 1991; investigators determined that a design flaw in the seat divider that could allow a rider to slide into an unoccupied seat and become separated from the restraints.[21][22] The ride later reopened, but was closed following the 1995 season. |

| Zodiac | 1975 | 1986 | Waagner-Biro (Sold by Intamin) | A double Ferris wheel. Unlike most Ferris wheels, this ride had a wheel mounted on each end of a massive hydraulic arm. While one wheel was rotating high up in the air, the other was perpendicular to the ground so that the cylindrical gondolas (which were suspended from finger-like spokes) could be loaded all at once. It closed in 1986 and was removed before the 1987 season.

Most rides were closed with the exception of a holiday-themed train ride, the Grand Carousel, hayrides, and the Enchanted Voyage. In earlier years, horse-drawn carriage rides existed as well. Special shops, restaurants, and other holiday-themed activities were also available. There were live holiday shows at both the American Heritage Music Hall (now the Kings Island Theater) and Festhaus. The event ended after the 1992 season, but made one additional appearance in 2005. A variety of reasons including low ticket sales prompted new owners Cedar Fair to shelve the idea.[25] In 2016, it was announced that Winterfest would return in 2017 and would be free to all Gold and Platinum pass holders. Kings Island said that Winterfest would return in 2018 and beyond. |
