Kings Island - (513) 754-5700

your crazy if you come to KI on a weekend the lines are as bad as any you've ever seen even for bad rides. take a day off and come during the week or especially when rain is predicted. come on a cold day. any other day your wasting time and money. pros--coasters are best in nation and kiddie park is my fave

I visited Boomerang Bay last summer and I just was not impressed. It doesn't hold a candle to The Beach Waterpark. The ambience, palm trees, green foilage at The Beach adds so much to making The Beach feel tropical and unique. Kings Island is mostly concrete and just feels like they don't want you to hang out very long. It's not condusive to lounging, laying out, and making a full day of it.

I have been going to Kings Island since the early 1980's. They still have great rides and fun for all. If you are traveling from out of town, make sure to purchase the two-day pass to enjoy both morning and afternoon. The best ride...The Beast at night! Nothing like total darkness and fast wooden rollercoasters.

I have been going to Kings Island since it opened and have had some great times, but the park has lost it's appeal. For several years I have hoped to return without the long lines and poorly managed concessions, but it just gets worse. Kings Island lacks the luster it once had because management cannot figure out how to grow to accommodate the crowds that mindlessly flock in every season. A few new rides to replace the old does not cut it anymore. Short staffing concessions on a busy Saturday is poor management. People get tired of standing in long lines for rides, but standing in long lines to get a pricey soft drink because half of the registers are closed is frustrating. Sadly, the greatest entertainment value today may be watching some of the characters that visit.

Sure it isn't as big as cedar point, but by no means does that mean it isn't just as fun!! The Drop Zone, Face Off, Delirium, Son of the Beast... the list goes on. They even have a water park open during the summer. And if you get hungry during the day, you'll find plenty of restaurants to tempt you. They make the best blueberry ice cream cones ;). Just stop by any of the little kings island owned food courts. PROS: Everything, the rides, the food, the fun CONS: None
