The Fairly Odd Coaster is a Junior Wooden roller coaster located at Kings Island. The coaster was originally named "Scooby Doo" when the park opened in 1972 as part of "The Happy Land of Hanna Barbara". Since then, the name has changed, but the layout of the coaster has remained the same. It was renamed "The Beastie" in 1979 to coincide with the opening of The Beast and a tunnel was added at the bottom of the first drop. During the Nickelodeon Universe overhaul in 2006, the tunnel was removed and the named was changed again to "Fairly Odd Coaster". The layout of the ride is a simple figure-8. This layout is common among John Allen's family coasters. Three of Kings Islands sister parks (Kings Dominion, Canada's Wonderland, and Carowinds) all contain identical wooden coasters. An on-ride photo camera is located at the bottom of the second drop. less
