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.
