Flight of Fear at RCDB

Flight of Fear is the name of two identical enclosed roller coasters located at Kings Island in Mason, Ohio, and at Kings Dominion in Doswell, Virginia, United States. Built and designed by Premier Rides, both opened as The Outer Limits: Flight of Fear on June 18, 1996, themed after The Outer Limits TV series that began airing in 1995 as a revival of the original 1960s series.

Both installations were the world's first launched roller coasters to feature linear induction motor (LIM) technology. Following Cedar Fair's purchase of Paramount Parks in 2006, all references to The Outer Limits were eventually removed from the ride as Cedar Fair began purging Paramount licensing and themes from their parks.
