This park is a top-of-the-line theme park. King's Island seems to make positive changes every few years. They have continued to do so by adding another coaster Diamondback. They brought in Firehawk a few years ago from Geauga Lake and did a makeover a few years ago with their Kiddyland becoming Nickelodeon Universe which really appealed to the youngsters who... more

We did Kings Island in July 2009. There was 13 of us....7 adults, 6 children ranging in age. We had a very positive time and can only leave positive feedback. There was only 1 negative fallback. The park its self doesnt open till 10am.. But the park lets people start coming in the gates at 9am. Then they herd you... more

All the rides at Kings Island are really good, there's barely any long lines, and it's a pretty small park, so you don't have to walk far to places. Make sure you eat before you go or bring along a snack. The food is really expensive. It's also really not a place to go when you want to stay all... more

I'll admit it's been years since I've been to Kings Island...and I went with a group...including my 8 year daughter. I have to say, I was glad I didn't pay full price for my ticket...but even then...you get charged $10 for parking...and then you can CHOOSE to pay $15 for "preferred parking" (of which they were sold out of the... more

My family and I are big amusement park enthusiasts, but we won't be returning to Kings Island that's for sure! The prices are the most expensive that I have every seen! Just under $4 for a bottled water! Disney doesn't seem quite so bad after visiting this park! They have a lot of great attractions, but the park is so... more

We took a trip to Cincy to visit Kings Island. I have a 3 and 7 year old that loved everything in the park. The longest line was almost an hour for the Lazytown helicopters! We were there a Friday night and Saturday and the lines really were not that long. The park was clean, rides in good condition, and... more

The last time I visited Kings Island Park was in 1989. I was not impressed. I now have a family and got a great deal on tickets, so I thought what the heck let's give it a try. WOW! I what a change. The park is so great. The landscaping is beautiful. The park is clean, the workers were great.... more

I had never been to KI, but we decided to go for the sake of my 5 year old. He loved it!!!! I counted over 20 rides that he could ride and he loved it. Especially the Scooby Doo ride and the Rugrats Roller coaster....it was well worth the $28.99 that we paid to get in when we bought the... more

We spent two whole days at Kings Island and had a fantastic time! There are awesome coasters for thrill seekers and fun Nickolodeon Universe for the younger ones. When it gets too hot, the water park section is a great relief. Buy tickets online for a discount, and the 2-day option will save you even more. The food is incredibly... more
