Other Facts (PCW Junkies Comments):

Skyrider ($5M est. cost) began sharing the back of the park with Minebuster at the start of the 1985 season. Skyrider was Wonderland's fifth roller coaster and its first roller coaster addition since opening in 1981.

Skyrider was added just one year after its twin sister, King Cobra, opened at Kings Island as North America's first stand-up roller coaster. PKI's King Cobra was removed from the park before the start of their 2002 season.

Skyrider takes its riders on a thrilling ride through the 2,200 feet of serpentine twists and turns at speeds over 80 kph. Don't miss out on taking your group photo at PCW Junkies' picture spot.
