Flight of Fear

Flight of Fear is an enclosed launched roller coaster at two Cedar Fair parks, Kings Island in Mason, Ohio and Kings Dominion in Doswell, Virginia. Both Flight of Fear roller coasters first opened in 1996 and were the world's first roller coasters to feature a linear induction motor launch. Flight of Fear has won three awards from the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions, including one for Major Theme/Amusement Park Ride/Attraction and two for Technology Applied to Amusements.Kings IslandFlight of Fear is located in the X-Base section of Coney Mall at Kings Island. For years it was the only ride on the other side of The Racer. With the addition of Firehawk in 2007, the area took on its own theme centered on flight and propulsion.Kings DominionFlight of Fear is located in the Safari Village section of Kings Dominion. It is one of three launched roller coasters at the park.For most of the 2006 season, the Flight of Fear at Kings Dominion had been standing but not operating, possibly awaiting removal and relocation to another Paramount park. However, on August 18, 2006, Flight of Fear reopened, under the park's new owner, Cedar Fair, which now intends to keep the ride at Kings Dominion. The track is a duplicate of The Joker's Jinx at Six Flags America, with the exception of Flight of Fear's mid-course brake run.
