2007 - 2011

From 2007 to 2011, Kings Island added major attractions and hosted a record-breaking stunt. In 2007, Firehawk, a unique flying roller coaster beside Flight of Fear, let riders soar through five inversions in a flying position. In 2008, Robbie Knievel jumped over 24 Coke Zero trucks in the parking lot, surpassing the 33-year-old record his father, Evel Knievel, had set at the park, while posters in Rivertown teased a new ride that would open the next year as the tallest and fastest roller coaster in Kings Island's history to that time. In 2009, Diamondback opened as a 230-foot-tall, 80 mph coaster with ten vertical drops, staggered seating, and the first splash-down finale on a hyper roller coaster, and Son of Beast gave its final rides before closing permanently. In 2010, Planet Snoopy opened with Snoopy, Woodstock, and Charlie Brown, and Scooby-Doo and the Haunted Castle was remade as Boo Blasters on Boo Hill. In 2011, WindSeeker opened at the rear of Coney Mall as a 301-foot-tall swing ride, and Dinosaurs Alive! debuted nearby with more than 60 life-sized dinosaurs, including the 72-foot-tall Ruyang Yellow River dinosaur, along with a gift shop, 3D film, and seasonal special events.
