From the moment we left Kings Island in 2021, I was angling for a return. The fact that they were celebrating 50 years only added to my desire to return. And so here we are at the end of July 2022, taking a red-eye from LA to Cincinnati just for Kings Island. No regrets, this was a great weekend. We rode so many coasters on repeat and caught up on our Kings Island history. I feel a kinship to this park because it reminds me so much of what Magic Mountain was, and what it could have been. Kings Island, we love you. Please keep on doing what you do. See you again soon. Enjoy!
Kings Island, August 2021: My favorite of the 9 parks we visited on this trip?
Maybe so! Kings Island is a theme park I've wanted to visit for a long time, yet we never really made the effort. I'm glad we did this time. 10 roller coasters on this stop, all new to us (of course, since it was our first visit). The Beast, Banshee, Mystic Timbers, Diamondback, Orion, Racer - so many great rides. Oh and we skipped the Vekoma inverted boomerang and I wish we had skipped Flight of Fear, which is as bad as remember it being at Kings Dominion. In any case, enjoy this park tour from August 2021! I'm already planning a return trip to Kings Island and the greater Cincinnati, OH area.
