<P> The Kings Dominion location was closed for much of the 2006 season, only reopening on August 18, 2006 after the park was purchased by Cedar Fair . At Kings Island, the ride is located in the X-Base subsection of Coney Mall . For years it was the only ride on the east side of The Racer . With the addition of Firehawk in the 2007, the area took on a theme center on experimental flight and propulsion systems . During the 2007 season, the ride was equipped with on - board video cameras that recorded riders with the option to purchase the video at the ride exit . These cameras were removed at the end of the season . </P> <P> Premier Rides built other LIM Catapult models from 1996 to 1999, including Joker's Jinx at Six Flags America, Poltergeist at Six Flags Fiesta Texas, and Crazy Cobra at Discoveryland . The two Flight of Fear rides are the only indoor versions . All share a similar layout and have the same technical specifications . </P> <P> Riders are launched from the station, accelerating from 0 to 54 mph in four seconds down a 220 - foot launch tunnel . The ride emerges into a "spaghetti bowl" of track inside of the 110 - foot tall ride building . Following the launch, the train immediately enters a cobra roll, which contains two of the ride's four inversions . The ride layout continues with a sidewinder and multiple turns . After passing through the mid-course brake run, riders spiral downward to the left, continuing to maneuver through the twisted ride structure . The train picks up speed as riders dive at the floor of the building, finally passing through a corkscrew before arriving at the final brake run . </P> <P> The trains originally featured over-the - shoulder restraints . For the 2001 season, three of the four trains which came with the ride were converted to use individual ratcheting lap bar restraints instead of the original over-the - shoulder restraints which caused riders to experience significant headbanging . Kings Dominion operates three trains with five cars, while Kings Island runs only two trains with five cars . The ride originally ran with six - car trains . </P>
