One of the newer roller coasters at Kings Island, a Cincinnati amusement park, is the Italian Job.  The theme of this coaster is that you are a movie stunt driver doing a chase scene.

Unlike most roller coasters where you slowly go “click click” to the top of the highest hill, this roller coaster accelerates you quickly out of the loading area and on to the course.  You rapidly go through a series of twists and turns and then come to a stop.

At the stop, a mock helicopter shoots at you and some oil drums blow up.  After a few seconds, you are then sent through a tunnel and on to your final drop.

All and all, it was a fun ride and since it was last years new roller coaster, there was hardly a line.  On a scale of 1-10 I give it an 8.
