The K.I. & Miami Valley Railroad reached a major milestone of 50 million riders since it’s opening in 1972 when Kings Island opened. The only other attraction in the park that has given more rides than the K.I. & Miami Valley Railroad at Kings Island is The Racer. The Racer is a wooden coaster that duels the opposite side of the ride on identical track. It has given a total of 97 million rides.
The Locomotives at Kings Island are scale replicas of the famous locomotive “The General” from the 1800’s. Each of the two engines pull a total of six coaches, and when both trains are loaded to capacity, they can carry 960 guests. More than 5,000 guests can ride the locomotives each hour.
