None of them are hybrids...? Unless you also (don't) count hybrid supports, but that still leaves Lightning Rod, Switchback, Roar o Saurus, Goliath(debatable), Gold Striker, Outlaw Run, and Flying Turns.

Please stop. You're making yourself look bad. They're all wooden coasters. I did not list any RMC steel "wooden" coasters

You can see through the support structure at the bottom which to me rules out a drop mechanism. Safe to say that it's going to be a SFX type experience?

The shed thing does slightly worry me...but not to the extent it's keeping me awake at night.

Kings Island has what, 12? 14 coasters? And the most gimmicky one is the Vekoma Flyer. I guess Backlot could also class as one. Anyway, the vast majority of them are "serious" coasters. The nice, straight down the line, pleasant sort that you'd take home to meet your mother. Suppose there is something gimmicky in the ****ing shed, it might cheapen the line up.

^ Considering Mystic Timbers is already subject to much debate in its selection, standing in the shadow of Beast.

At the announcement night, people were already comparing it unfavorably to Adventure Express.

WARNING! Post contains predictable "Beast at Night" comment.

Controversial here, but I don't think Beast is all that. Yes, I appreciate the engineering, the noise it makes, it's length and Beast at Night is a great experience (probably one of my top 5 ride experiences), but it's not the most thrilling of rides. I'd even go as far as saying it leans very slightly on the dull side. I have a feeling that Mystic Timbers might actually be a more rounded, fun experience compared to a Beast. Even at night.

^Yeah, I never got the whole Beast craze. Straight sections and slightly banked turns in the woods doesn't really appeal to me. Night might have a more 'out of control' feel, but it's still just straight sections and slightly banked turns.

My cousin said the same thing! This will be WAY better than Adventure Express, even though that's one of the better mine trains.
