Former roller coasters

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 1979 SDC
(Galaxi)		 A steel roller coaster. Originally operated at Coney Island, Cincinnati, Ohio, as Galaxi (1970–1971). [2]
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, the cars used to be stored inside Flight of Fear's enclosed bowl until 2012 when they were sent to Kings Dominion to be used on Shockwave. The Crypt ride assembly now occupies that space. [3]
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. [4]
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. [5]
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,[6] 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.[7] Park officials confirmed on March 15, 2010, that they had no plan to reopen the ride.[8] It was removed from Kings Island's park map and the ride list on the official web site in early 2010.[9][10] 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.[11][12] 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. [13]

In a building shaped like a giant TV set, guests sailed through several rooms featuring animatronics of new and old Hanna-Barbera characters. 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.

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.[14][15] The ride later reopened, but was closed following the 1995 season.

McScrappy's Slide 1972 1994 A Giant Slide originally called Flying Carpet Slide, moved from Coney Island to the spot where Zephyr is today.

Ohio Overland Auto Livery 1972 1997 Arrow Development Another antique car ride, this one intertwined with the previously mentioned Les Taxis. The Auto Livery last operated in 1997, but the ride was not removed until 2004 along with Les Taxis.

The Station house still remains today as a merchandise store. Relocated from Coney Island Ohio (1965–1971).
Sunshine Turnpike 1972 1994 Arrow Development Yet another sports car ride, this one was located in Hanna Barbera Land. It was removed after the 1994 season, to make room for Nickelodeon Splat City (today's Nickelodeon Universe). Formerly known as Marathon Turnpike, Speed Buggy Turnpike.

Zodiac 1975 1986 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 1987, stood SBNO for two years, and was then removed in 1989 and replaced by Flight Commander the following year. It was relocated to Australia's Wonderland in Sydney, Australia, another Taft venture park, and was then demolished in 2004 when that park closed.

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.[16]
