Flight of Fear is the name of two identical enclosed roller coasters located at Kings Island and Kings Dominion amusement parks.[1][2] Built and designed by Premier Rides, they were the world's first launched roller coasters to feature linear induction motor (LIM) technology.[3] Both locations opened as The Outer Limits: Flight of Fear on June 18, 1996, originally themed after The Outer Limits TV series that began airing in 1995 as a revival of the original 1960s series. Paramount's licensing rights to the TV show eventually expired without renewal, and all references to The Outer Limits were removed from the ride and its name in 2001.
