List of former Kings Island attractions

This is a list of rides, attractions and themes from Kings Island that no longer exist in the park.

Former roller coasters

Ride	Year Opened	Year Closed	Manufacturer (Model)	Image	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, remained standing but not operating in 1984, and was demolished in spring 1985. 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.
Bavarian Beetle	1972	1978	SDC (Galaxi)		A steel roller coaster. Originally operated at Coney Island, Cincinnati, Ohio, as Galaxi (1970–1971).
Firehawk	2007	2018	Vekoma		A Vekoma Flying Dutchman coaster. Originally known as X-Flight at Geauga Lake from 2001-2006. Relocated to Kings Island in efforts to downside Geauga Lake. Reopened at Kings Island the following year under the new name Firehawk and with a changed track color, from green and black at Geagua Lake to red and yellow. On September 27, 2018, Kings Island announced that they would remove the ride from the park following the 2018 season due to it operating sporadically and that the manufacturer, Vekoma, had stopped supporting the model and therefore parts were increasing expensive and hard to find. And in August 2019, Kings Island announced that Firehawk would be replaced by the Orion giga coaster in 2020.
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, and eventually portions were sent to Kings Dominion to be used as parts for its sister installation, Shockwave.
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.
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.
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, 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. Park officials confirmed on March 15, 2010, that they had no plan to reopen the ride. It was removed from Kings Island's park map and the ride list on the official web site in early 2010. 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. 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, and the station is now used for the Haunt attraction Wolf Pack.
Vortex	1987	2019	Arrow Dynamics		Constructed at a cost of $4 million on the former location of The Bat, Vortex was a steel roller coaster that opened in the park's Coney Mall area as the world's tallest roller coaster at 148 feet (45 m). It also held the record for most inversions, featuring six. Both records were superseded the following year by Shockwave which opened at Six Flags Great America. After 33 seasons, the ride permanently closed during the 2019 season.

Former rides

The theater also played host to films exclusively during the Halloween season, including Elvira's Superstition, Dracula's Haunted Castle (2004), and Funhouse Express. One of the two theaters was replaced with a haunted house, Urgent Scare, in 2008. The other side removed the simulator seats in favor of bench seating in 2011, the same year Dinosaurs Alive! 3D premiered. The dinosaur film played for three seasons before closing.

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

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. In 2016, it was announced that Winterfest would return in 2017 and would be free to all Gold and Platinum pass holders. Kings Island said that Winterfest would return in 2018 and beyond.
