Great Pumpkin Coaster
Specific Type: Family Coaster
|
Kings Island, located in Mason Ohio, has created a legacy of thrills and fun for all ages. From its own conception, Kings Island was designed to have something for everyone in the family. The original park had a plethora of attractions in their now defunct Hanna Barbera Land, however was lacking a true steel coaster for younger coaster enthusiasts to experience. This would change in 1992 as Kings Island opened what is today the Great Pumpkin Coaster, by E&F Miler Industries.
The Great Pumpkin Coaster itself has gone through several name changes throughout its operation in Kings Island. Originally operating as Scooby Zoom, Great Pumpkin Coaster would take 3 names until eventually coming to Great Pumpkin Coaster. Riders enter the queue in the lush Planet Snoopy section of the park taking riders into the station pavillion. Once riders are seated, Great Pumpkin Coaster will ascend an 8 foot tall lift hill to take the curved drop right. Great Pumpkin Coaster will then ascend another hill with an airtime pop and photo opportunity, that leads riders into another mini hill and a curve with several dips within. The Great Pumpkin Coaster will then take another lap around the circuit to eventually return to the station. Great Pumpkin Coaster is one of 3 coasters within the Planet Snoopy section of the park, others being Woodstock Express, their wooden coaster and Flying Ace Aerial Chase, their Vekoma suspended family coaster. Great Pumpkin Coaster has created memories for all ages during its several decades of operation, and hopefully for you too as you find out what truly is the Great Pumpkin Coaster. |
