The preshow for Mystic Timbers was delivered as a turnkey production, It gives riders the opportunity to dig a little bit deeper into the story of the ride. They can speculate as to why the the abandoned premises of the Miami River Lumber Company, which was suddenly and mysterious abandoned back in 1983.

Mystic Timbers is the park’s fourth wooden roller coaster. It measures 3,265 feet in length, is 109 foot tall and takes riders over steep cliffs, ravines and water at 53 mph.

Holovis delivered the preshow as a turnkey production. They worked closely with Daniels Wood Land, who provided the theming for the queue line and in the ride itself. This includes the mysterious crashed truck and the ride billboard. There is also a large overhead sign which firsts sets the scene for the attraction from the outside.

Amy Steele, VP of Development at Holovis said:

“Mystic Timbers is a unique project for Kings Island as it combines a great coaster with immersive storytelling. The preshow is filled with eerie details, from the 1980s talk radio blaring from a crashed truck in the queue line to mysterious CCTV footage warning guests to turn back before it’s too late. The ‘What’s In The Shed’ trend astonished guests and we are proud to have produced and delivered this highly anticipated show.”

Andy Dauterman, The Custom & Theming Projects Manager at Daniels Wood Land commented:

“Combining our scenic talents with Holovis’ production abilities was a natural fit. This collaboration delivers a thrilling environment that guests really enjoy from start to finish.”
