More than 500 feet of the old and mostly original track from Kings Island’s 48-year-old Racer will be replaced this winter, which will ensure smoother rides when the Mason, Ohio park opens for the 2021 season.
Officials with the theme park say carpenters are currently busy removing the stacks of wood used for the track from the base of the first drop through the 65-foot tall fourth hill on both sides of the ride.
Racer has been a focal point of the Coney Mall sector of the park since Kings Island opened in 1972. It used to be a race between the forward and backward coasters, but that changed in recent years.
