Trains
3 trains with 12 cars per train. In each car, riders are arranged 2 across in a single row, for a total of 24 riders per train.
Theme
Mystic Timbers is located in the Rivertown-themed area of Kings Island. Just before the ride ends, guests go into a themed building. The theatrical element was also hinted at by Kings Island's PR team, who used the hashtag "WhatsInTheShed" to market the ride. The shed was later revealed to be a special effects show.
There is a single tunnel along the course of the ride.
