Racer at Kings Island in Mason, Ohio is an exhilarating roller coaster that has been operating since 1982.

With a top speed of 53 mph and no inversions, Racer offers a thrilling ride experience for its 2640 riders per hour capacity.
Notable for its unique feature, from 1982 to 2007, one of the tracks allowed riders to experience the coaster in reverse. Racer has also made its mark in pop culture, as it served as the set for a Brady Bunch episode filmed in 1973. With its rich history and exciting ride, Racer continues to be a popular attraction at Kings Island.

As American as apple pie served at a baseball game on the 4th of July. Basically, The Racer is a true blue (and red!) slice of coaster history and remains an integral part of Kings Island lore....
