Adventure Express is a classic mine train roller coaster located at Kings Island amusement park in Mason, Ohio. Opened in 1991, this family-friendly coaster takes riders through a series of winding turns, tunnels, and small drops while maintaining a relatively moderate speed. Built by Arrow Dynamics, Adventure Express is themed around an ancient jungle expedition, complete with stone carvings, tunnels, and animatronic figures.
The ride's most notable feature is its elaborate theming, particularly in the second lift hill. This final segment takes riders through a temple filled with "ancient" statues that come to life, accompanied by dramatic music and special effects. Although there is no major drop, the immersive atmosphere and surprising elements make Adventure Express a memorable experience, especially for younger guests and families looking for a more relaxed coaster.
With a track length of 2,963 feet and a maximum height of 63 feet, Adventure Express is a staple attraction at Kings Island, delivering excitement and adventure without the intensity of larger coasters in the park.
