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 public relations team, who used the hashtag "WhatsInTheShed" to market the ride. The shed was later revealed to be a special effects show, with visuals provided by Holovis.[6][7]
There is a single tunnel along the course of the ride.
The ride includes a custom score by IMAscore GbR.
