Track for New Kings Island Roller Coaster Completed

This summer, thrill seekers will have an exciting new roller coaster to check out in Ohio, and it's not at Cedar Point. Rather, the new Diamondback steel coaster will open to the public at the Kings Island amusement park on April 18.

The final piece of the track for the nearly 1-mile long new high-rise, high-speed roller coaster was added Monday. Park officials say that the Diamondback is 230-feet tall at its highest point, and riders will experience travel at speeds more than 90mph. The ride, which lasts 3 minutes, starts off with a 215-foot plunge before winding through more drops and twists and ending with a splash into water.

The Diamondback will be the park's most expensive coaster to date, costing $22 million. It will also be the 15th roller coaster at Kings Island.

You can check out this cool simulation video of the ride so you know what you're in for:
