Construction is taking shape for the Kings Mills Antique Autos with workmen this week pouring concrete to make the quarter-mile track that will include parts of it running alongside the park’s iconic Racer roller coaster and through a covered bridge.

The attraction, which opens this spring, will feature two-third scale replicas of the 1911 Ford Model T. The leisurely rail-guarded drive will last approximately three minutes.

The Kings Mills Antique Autos will be comparable to the original Les Taxis antique car ride which operated at Kings Island from 1972 to 2004, combining nostalgia with new enhancements.

A Walk in the Park at Kings Island: Looking at a screen

So for this week since I was just talking about TV shows, I want to go through the park and find a few rides that have been featured on a TV show or movie, or even rides that are based off of movies. Buckle up because I think our first stop is The Racer. I don’t know what it is about this roller coaster but to me, The Racer just screams “America”.

What's behind the fence?

It's been almost a year since Kings Island officials announced that Firehawk, the park’s Vekoma-manufactured flying coaster, had reached the end of its service life and would be removed before the start of the 2019 season. Combined with the closure of nearby Dinosaurs Alive! in 2017, enough land would be available for observant park fans to wishfully speculate something bigger was on the horizon.
