The Racer is a classic wooden racing roller coaster at Kings Island that opened with the park in 1972. It features two parallel tracks (Red and Blue) where twin coaster trains race side-by-side on a traditional out-and-back layout with hills, banked turns, and airtime moments. Riders climb an 88-foot lift hill and reach about 53 mph over a roughly 3,415-foot course that lasts around 2 minutes.
