Paramount King's Island amusement park near Cincinnati, Ohio was one of the first parks in the world to install a roller coaster which uses a linear induction motor (LIM) to electro-magnetically accelerate its vehicles. The Flight of Fear indoor ride's LIM is used to launch a vehicle with 24 riders from 0 to 54 mph in under four seconds.
