What riders love
  • Not only did they run both sides but they were very consistent in dispatching at the same time so I got races on both tracks.
  • We lost the race, but it was a lot more fun being able to race (which was not an option on the left side two years ago).
  • I was also lucky enough to get a racing ride this time, which will always make a coaster better in my eyes.
  • First drop is amazing in the back row, and you get airtime all throughout the layout, especially the drop off the turnaround.
  • Got way more airtime than I was expecting to on this guy.
  • Not the biggest or fastest, but the airtime is great.
  • This wasn't bad for an old wooden coaster. It was surprisingly smooth.
  • This ride is far smoother with just as much airtime if not more.
  • Both sides are smooth and have some nice floater moments.

Performance

Vs. other coasters at Kings Dominion

The back gets stronger floater airtime except during the drop after the second turnaround, which gives a brief but glorious ejector pop.

Michael M.

There’s plenty of airtime as the trains navigate the various airtime hills.

Theme Park James

The first half has several fun floater moments, including an awesome first drop.

Ben Lilly

this is the better side on racer 75, it is smoother and for me, it delivered more airtime than I was expecting!

Sam M.

Racer 75 is a very good and fun coaster, but when I last rode the right side there was a severe lack of airtime.

Mason Newton

After the turn around it rattled too much and gave no airtime.

Henry Japha

I got a soft spot for this coaster, tons of fun in the front or back, you don’t need to wait a while, the restraints are nice, coaster is smooth.

Mars Gaming

Given the coaster’s advancing years, it is incredibly smooth and great fun to ride.

Theme Park James

Though the trackwork made my ride smooth with good floater airtime, the standard out and back layout isn’t exciting when the other track is lifeless and unmaintained.

Eric Esty

There is a bad moment near the end where there is like a pothole and the whole train shakes really badly which can be painful.

Shmee

It’s got a rattle to it, enough to be uncomfortable, but not enough to make it not fun.

Nathan F

It has very little forces other than at the turnaround, and so even though the racing aspect is fun, the ride doesn’t really do anything.

Caitlin Wilcox

Not a very intense woodie, but the racing aspect, with some alright airtime, great views, and fun ride experience mixed into it, makes for a solid ride.

Anthony DeNight Jr.

Bruh i rode this ride and lets just say im glad i survived its so fast then u expect 💀😭

@Alli.yassssssss

A lot of the second half is a dead spot, and it’s not super extreme, but it’s a very fun ride

Ben Lilly

But Racer 75 does not traverse its layout fast enough to leave a lasting impression.

uhhh roller coasters

I did not have to wait for any additional runs with it being a walk-on both times.

Max S.

With the short line, this is a great ride to get the most out of your trip.

Criticised for

Rough or rattly

Absolutely fantastic airtime off drop of turnaround, but other than that relatively forceless.

seth w., Captain Coaster review

basically the same as the left side just with not as much powerful airtime.

Sam M., Captain Coaster review

Actually racing this time, racer 75, like its kings island counterpart, is another racing coaster that is almost an airtime-fest.

Birb from not Canada, Captain Coaster review

It’s really just a series of airtime hills but that works really well for a racing coaster as it leaves the two racing cars directly parallel for most of the duration.

Zach O., Captain Coaster review

Racer 75 is a great ride, with the racing element adding to the fun.

Theme Park James, published review

But I actually enjoyed the combo of hills and length of the ride.
