MASON - Paramount's Kings Island is playing off one of its parent company's latest blockbuster films next year when it has guests push the pedal to the metal on a stunt track.

Park officials announced the new attraction, The Italian Job: Stunt Track, today in front of a 200-plus person crowd at the park's Paramount Theatre. The ride will open in next spring in Coney Mall area of the park.

Guests ride Mini Cooper S coaster cars and re-enact the chase scene by dodging police cars, driving down stairs and avoiding gunfire from a helicopter. Specifics details on the ride's height and speed have not been announced.

The ride will take the place of the antique car ride. That ride will close Sunday so construction for the stunt track can begin Monday, according to park spokesman Jeffrey Siebert. E-mail esolvig@enquirer.com
