About The Racer

The Racer is a wooden roller coaster at Kings Island in Mason, Ohio, USA, open since 1972. The ride stands 88 feet tall, drops 82 feet and reaches 53 mph over 3,415 feet of track.

Twin wooden tracks race side by side to the finish. Often credited with reviving American interest in wooden coasters during the 1970s after decades of decline.
