The massive 300-foot-drop coaster is on schedule and set to debut next spring, officials said. It will be the fastest and tallest coaster at Kings Island, and one of only seven giga coasters on the planet. Those are a group of coasters that have a height or drop of 300 to 399 feet.

The new coaster will replace Firehawk, a coaster that was demolished following the 2018 season.
