Adventure ExpressRoller coasterMinimum height to ride: 44 inches About Adventure ExpressA highly-themed family roller coaster, passengers are taken on an out-of-control mine-ride through four tunnels, several turns, and a few small drops. The attraction's hillside location enhances the experience, as does the collection of great scenery. The ride's climax is an ascent through a temple. On either side of the train is a collection of stone tiki gods, pounding their fists. The train returns to the station directly after this, despite many riders expecting a large drop. -- Last edited by Ty Mullins [Update this description | Read previous versions] Photos from Adventure ExpressSafety
Readers' Opinions
A good prep ride for new roller coaster riders - Byron Smith This a great starter coaster for younger people. There's a lot of unofficial Indiana Jones theming which makes it kind of fun. The lines have moved relatively fast over the years but that will probably change with the removal of the 3rd train in 2009. The ride is infamous for it's tease lift at the end which fools riders into thinking they're about to go down a giant drop but instead arrive back at the load station. - Sean Mackey The last lift hill delivers you to the station brake. Makes me wonder what they were thinking...did they install it backwards? - Larry Zimmerman Although rough at points, Adventure Express is one of Kings Island's greatest roller coasters. Lines are rarely long, allowing for quick rides. The themeing is a great touch, while the hillside location makes the ride worth it. - Ty Mullins You wouldn't think so, but Adventure Express is one of the park's most popular rides. Delivers a ride for the whole family. - Derek Potter actually pretty good a great family ride long and short lines - kalb smith
