Queen City Stunt Coaster is a launched steel roller coaster in the Coney Mall area of Kings Island in Mason, Ohio. Premier Rides built it, and it opened on May 20, 2005, as The Italian Job: Stunt Track, themed to the 2003 film The Italian Job. It was renamed Backlot Stunt Coaster in 2008 and took its current name in 2025, the ride's 20th anniversary.
Riders play stunt drivers in a car chase through the streets of the "Queen City" on a closed movie set. A linear induction motor launch takes the cars from 0 to 40 mph in three seconds, and the course runs through a parking garage, down a series of helixes and around high-banked turns.
The track is 1,960 feet long, with a 45-foot height, a 31-foot drop and no inversions, and a ride lasts about 1 minute 4 seconds. Each train has three cars seating 12 riders. The park's minimum rider height is 48 inches.
