    Riding the beast at night is awesome and is definitely my favorite ride at kings island

    Mystic Timbers, hands down. I was a pass holder as a teen and got away from going as an adult. When u had kids of my own, we started going back. We've been inseparable ever since. Coming up on 10 years straight as pass holders. Everything about KI is magical, the atmosphere, the rides, the anesthetic, the employees. It's wonderful. Too many great memories to pick just one.

      This place is THE BEST. I am 3 hours away from Kings Island and worked at Cedar Point for 5 seasons. This by FAR is a much better place regarding operations for certain. Reminds me of our operations EXPECTATIONS when I worked at Cedar Point. Also, the International Restaurant has some of the BEST FOOD and views of the park. Too bad it's not open daily as it was 'back in the day'. Had THE BEST Monte Cristo sandwiches of my life here and they used to serve some of THE BEST prime rib here as well. It is open during WinterFest, so you can enjoy a great meal, outstanding views of the park in its Christmas glory, and also some alcoholic drinks of you're of age. A SPECTACULAR video. Thank you for this terrific production.

    Kings Island is a great park but anyone who says it's the best park in America clearly hasn't made that drive three hours to the north within the same state.

    • @Jeremy-jx4kq
      @Jeremy-jx4kq 4 месяца назад +1

      I’m a season pass holder to both and I’d rather go to Kings Island any day over that park to the north. Don’t get me wrong, Cedar Point is great and absolutely has a better coaster lineup, but it’s a chore to ride them…no less than 60 minutes for the major coasters (way more on weekends), the operations are declining, frequent breakdowns…etc. For the overall experience, I’ll take Kings Island any day.

    I just took my kids to kings on this.May be a hot take with that sad.I feel mystic timbers is overrated we got better rides on the racer and Orian sadly the Beast was not open tho it's in my top 5 as for Mistic timbers it not in my top 15

  • @jzckvsn

    Best place to eat is on international street. It is the spot where they grill turkey legs and othe smoked meats. Turkey leg is by far best menu item in the park.

    I love this effing park so much! Diamondback and Mystic Timbers go between first for me but i give the slight edge to mystic. Back row is best on each one. Also fav memory was on passholder preview 2024 when i got a night ride on diamondback 2 minutes before park close and the pitch black ride mixed with the insane SUSTAINED EJECTOR just hit home for me😂 visit kings island!

    I rode Sol Spin and although I love the Enterprise the seats were SO SMALL. I know Italians are short but goddamn Zamperla, fire the engineer that designed those seats.

    • @ParkHoppersProductions
      @ParkHoppersProductions  8 месяцев назад +1

      Yeah the seats are very small ! I noticed that ! It’s a great ride though and the lighting package makes it great at night !

    For food, you left out Skyline Chili and the famous Blue Ice Cream. Now, I understand Skyline isn’t for everyone. It is the most popular regional food for Cincinnati. I wouldn’t suggest an out of towner to try it in Kings Island. There are plenty of Skyline’s and other Cincinnati style chili places to go to try it first. And I believe, Skyline will let you sample their 3-way if you tell them it’s your first time. If you don’t like it, they have very good salads.

    • @ParkHoppersProductions
      @ParkHoppersProductions  8 месяцев назад

      Yes I did forget both of those ! I think I left out the ice cream because it’s not like a full meal but that’s my mistake

    • @ScottALanter
      @ScottALanter 2 месяца назад +1

      I love chili and I've lived around Cincinnati my whole life. At age 56, I have yet to understand people's obsession with Skyline (or even Gold Star Chili). No texture to it and it tastes like wallpaper paste with hints of cinnamon and chocolate. I don't even like the smell of that crap.

  • @mitchellries256
    @mitchellries256 8 месяцев назад +3

    Kings Island is my second favorite Cedar Fair park just behind Cedar Point, but only by a narrow margin. The ride lineup is one of the best in country, and the operations are some of the most efficient you'll ever come across.

    • @ParkHoppersProductions
      @ParkHoppersProductions  8 месяцев назад

      Yes the ride lineup is so good and operations are the best !! Thanks for the comment

    • @jandrew1994
      @jandrew1994 6 месяцев назад +1

      Operations is better than CP, workers are generally better than CP because Cincy metro has real workers and not temp immigrants flown to Sandusky. Food in 2022 was generally better at KI and offered wings because Chickies and Petes was down most of 2022 and the boardwalk wasn't open yet.

  • @Fryinpansvols

    KI is a Great park! The Racer got a complete retrack for this year. I’m excited to get some rides on both blue and red sides.
    Mystic Timbers isn’t in my Top 4 at KI. I’ve rode it several times too.

    I hated mystic timbers it isnt smooth at all when it whips around turns it is very uncomfortable i wanted to like it and was so hyped to ride it but it is an absolutely meh ride at best. My favorite ride is orion but i really like banshee for its inversions and loops just as much

  • @dubvuchyea502
    @dubvuchyea502 7 месяцев назад +1

    Cedar Point def has a better lineup, but its a WORKOUT to get on every coaster in the park, even with fastlane plus. Kings island is so much more laid back and its lineup is still fantastic. Orion, Diamondback and Mystic Timbers would all be top 5s in any other park

    • @danielbeckstedt767
      @danielbeckstedt767 3 месяца назад +1

      I heard Grain and Grill replaced the full service Skyline restaurant at the front. I haven't been to Ohio since Oct. 28, 2022 and there was no Grain and Grill back then. Also Chicken Shack is #1 and the island spot one during summer waterpark season is up there too. Also Enrique's was named Hank's back then but I approve of that name change.

  • @brianhouser7939
    @brianhouser7939 4 месяца назад

    I can respect your top five. Only thing that I would challenge you on is Mystic Timbers being the best. Beast, Orion, and Diamondback by far supercede MT. If you ride MT it's a better ride at night but ride the Beast at night first

  • @Spike-sk7ql

    • @timothykaczmarek5871
      @timothykaczmarek5871 7 месяцев назад +2

      ​​​@@ParkHoppersProductionsCedar Point is lacking a lot more than that as well. They're NOT what they used to be. No wonder the rankings of Kings Island are getting higher to the TOP 5 parks in the USA, and Cedar Point is slipped DOWN the list for the past two years. The 50th anniversary season at Kings Island was STUNNING BEYOND WORDS. Phantom Theater Encore was a HIT! The BEAUTIFUL repainted Racer, brought tears to my eyes!! And the staff members, ALL WONDERFUL PEOPLE. The Fireworks Fun and Fifty was a show NOT TO MISS. My only complaint is that they removed the Vortex. Probably my most favorite ride there, aside from The Beast. Should have gotten rid of Invertigo. Other than that, Kings Island is DEFINITELY MY HAPPY PLACE. ❤

    @baulzzzzzzz2278 3 месяца назад

    It’s hard to get a night ride on the beast but to this day there is no other coaster experience like it
    Also never have I witnessed a video that claims KI to be anything special, so I appreciate this video a lot as it is my home park.
    My favorite memory is easily the day I rode Son of Beast 15 times. Having ridden it with and without the loop I’ll miss that coaster

  • @AS-mb5ch
