Though the coaster is still under construction, Kings Island’s Mystic Timbers is already getting national recognition.

Mystic Timbers made the top of USA Today’s list of the nine most anticipated new roller coasters of 2017.

Themed to an abandoned lumber company, the wooden roller coaster will stand 109 feet tall will give riders a thrill with 16 airtime moments along 3,265-foot long track.

The ride ends with passengers coming to a stop in a dark shed-like building.

Basing many of its promotions around this mystery, Kings Island still has fans of the new ride guessing “What’s in the Shed?”

Mystic Timbers will make its anticipated debut later this year when the park officially opens for the season on Saturday, April 15.
