Flight of Fear is a roller coaster at Kings Island and has a clone at Kings Dominion. For most of the 2006 operating season, the clone at Kings Dominion had been closed, but reopened on August 18 under the management of new owner Cedar Fair, L.P.
Flight of Fear was a first for their desiger, Premier Rides. This was the first roller coaster ever to use a launch system driven by linear induction motors. Since then Premier has built many other rides using LIM's.
As of the 2007 season, the ride is now equipped with cameras that record pictures of you during the ride that are available for purchase.
