Thanks for taking the time to share. The park opened in 48 years ago. As a kid growing up in Indiana Kings Island was our annual mini vacation on a budget. Loads of great memories & shows (including a dolphin show). I do not remember eating much inside the park but mid day we had a picnic lunch & break out in the car (favorite old station wagon) after several hours of our Twinkies warming on the hot dash board in the sun. It sure has changed a lot over the years and remained fresh, but there are still a handful of memory filled spots.
Been here a couple times this season and absolutely loved it every time
How only a couple in ten and I've propbly gone a hundred times.
Per the question asked at 22:45, that unused building on the Coney Mall used to be Skeeball. I don't remember when it closed. I worked there in the '70s.
that building is the killmart haunt attraction
I think they just closed it a couple of years ago, it was an arcade for a while.
The building you were wondering about is Killmart! I'm so glad HAUNT came back this year. I'm a scare-actor and I was so grateful for this year.
I think both Invertigo and Congo Falls are on their way out in the next few years. It could open up opportunities for a nice new coaster near the front entrance area.
I was hoping to see the ferris wheel, but I guess they got rid of it. We visited Ohio to see my dad's old war buddy. They had a little cabin on the other side of the creek/river there. It had an outhouse. We could see the ferris wheel out over the water there. This was back in the 60's. My dad's friend had a grocery store there in town w/the house behind it. They had two sons & a daughter. I got to sleep in the daughter's room because she was away at college. We took lots of pictures. I looked at pictures on google earth & it doesn't really look the same as it used to. Thank you for the video!
Last time i went to kings island it still had the hawk and the vortex. Its kind of sad when i think about it. Kings island will always be a part of my childhood.
Saved this video to my favorites list so o can show my son. He's 5 & has been begging me to ride a roller coaster. We used to be able to say that we've rode every ride in the park @ least 3xs each but the last time we costed they were still building Mystic Timbers. Kings island has been the hubby's & I's fav weekend getaway for 10years. The last time we visited the park was 2016 bc we couldn't just get away for the weekend a couple times a month anymore bc we had kids. If quarantine has taught us anything it's to live a li'l & enjoy life so we have plans on taking our oldest son (he's 5) to kings island for the first time this summer (summer 2021).
Had my first visit this weekend. Definitely a nice, clean, well managed park. Staff was great, enjoyed the closing fireworks and the fountain show. Mystic timbers was great!
Love these walkthroughs!!!!!
Sorry you didn't eat the fries in Rivertown, and you did not even mention LaRosa's Pizza. Those are my two favorite foods at Kings Island. You missed Larosa's because you were catching the splashdown of Diamondback, and it is on the other side of that walkway.
i agree the potato works bacon cheese fries are my favorite amusment park food
Not the same without seeing the Brady kids running around with the big yellow tube
This is my second favorite Cedar Fair park out of the five I've been to so far. The only other one I like more than this is Cedar Point.
Which five?
@@virginiacapitalcoasters7033 Besides this one and Cedar Point, the other 3 I've been to are Kings Dominion (3rd best), Knott's Berry Farm (4th best) and Valleyfair (5th best).
@@mitchellries256 Yeah I was there Tuesday, it was #2 of 4 for me, beat by Cedar Point, but I liked it over 3. Carowinds and 4. Kings Dominion. I was a huge fan of the two big woodies, both are in my top 10 of 74 credits. The environment was great, the staff was friendly. Orion was ok, Banshee and Diamondback were disappointing, but they're still an Invert and a Hyper. As someone used to Kings Dominion, this place seemed like it was in every way better except for I305 and KD having a better drop tower. I really have a hard time deciding between here and Six Flags Great Adventure.
@@mitchellries256 damn that speaks volumes because valley fair is a decent park.
@@tyler1783 That's my home park so I guess you can say that's how I find it less exciting. That and I believe the other parks are just more exciting.
@22:52 This is used for Haunt, it's called Killmart
Last time I was at Kings Island I was eight.Back in the late 70s.I think it was the first or second yr for the Beast.Nice walk through.👍🏼
22:44 YES that building is there for the haunt, its called Kill-mart, so you walk through a haunted and gory Walmart/Kmart and possess workers to jump out at you, very cool, Fun fact I'm pretty sure they store a lot of their stuffed animal prizes in there so for haunt the hand them everywhere and put washable blood on them. Kings Island is my home park btw
Thanks for this walkthrough. I’m planning our family’s first trip to KI this summer. We’re coming over from the U.K., so something like this is really helpful. I think I’ll be watching this a few times.
Really loved this walkthrough . You took us along at the perfect pace without rushing and provided lots of great views of the attractions with good info . Very very relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable , thanks for sharing man.
I loved racer when they had a backwards side. That was back in the late 80's or early nineties.
Did you know that the land banshee sits on is was the land for son of beast!
I really think that building used to be an Arcade
Oh yeah I remember that! It was an arcade with tickets and prizes. Ah memories
That "gas station" / empty building thing used to be the Skeeball/ arcade.
Or at least one of them. There's another Skeeball/arcade building over by the Beast and one near the entrance to Area 72 (I can't remember if that one has Skeeball or not). I always drop a few bucks into them. :)
They use it for Haunt now. I believe it’s called the “Kill Mart” if I remember correctly.
Yeah it is Kill Mart and I believe it either used to be The Walking Dead haunted house or a similar style to The Walking Dead that themed zombies
I hope they add a flat ride back in area 72. Like an air race or Gerstlauer sky roller.
Ha it’s funny how the waver swinger looks with majority of the seats being removed
My favorite RUclips channel and podcast
This is the most beautiful Park I've ever been to
If you’re into beauty of parks, check out Busch Gardens Tampa. It has an African theme which is cool, but the parks landscape is absolutely amazingly beautiful. And add the fact the have a full blown safari with all kinds of exotic and interesting animals with shows that showcase them.
@@jaybird455 been there only once though cause i live in ohio
@Jester yeah I live in Ohio too, but I lived in Tampa for like 15 years so I got to enjoy that park quite a bit. They’ve really made it a great all around park with better coasters now. It was originally themed around the animals, then they started upping their coaster game in 1993 with Kumba and in 1996 with Montu. Now they are legit becoming one of the better coaster parks as well with additions of Shiekra, Cheetah Hunt, Cobra’s Curse, Falcons Fury (drop tower), Tigris, and now Iron Gwazi is next .
@@jaybird455 yea maybe there park is more decaritive but kings islands are better
@Jester oh yeah I agree KI is a much better coaster park. Prob in the top 3 of parks in the nation. I do think with the addition of Iron Gwazi in Tampa, that could put Busch Gardens in the top 5 now. But yeah KI is awesome! Mystic Timbers, Orion, Diamondback, Banshee, and the Beast is a solid 5 coaster lineup. Only Cedar Point has a better lineup
Love your videos, your my favourite at in the loop! I do miss your park food reviews though, where you show the food and comment on it.
i work at kings island and this is such a great showcase of our beautiful park
Thanks for the nice walkthrough. Looking forward to our first visit later this year.
Also, lol at "in 2021 when the ugliness is over". =)
I’m going there soon and the stunt coaster banged my head around and gave me a head ache because I am quite small, but I kind of wanna ride it again..
I’m Employed with Kings Island absolutely love working there as everyone is friendly also I don’t mind meeting new people I hope to see y’all there soon Orion is open witch is to my offense witch is a triller
You have a great narration voice! It's strangely relaxing.
" Oh look. . .BEER " Awesome
I’m going here for my choir trip in May 2021, and I’m so exited! :)
how was it?
@@Keishabetacirr we never went
@@anna-sg4oj oof
King's Island is my homepark, Cedar Point is the second closest to me. I live in mason!
Also try potato works if you ever go many family loves if listed by dimondback :)
Watching this to pump myself even more. Going to K.I for the first time in 8 days. Also going later this year on the Carnival Sunrise. That was also a good tour video
Hope the cruise happens for you. Molly & I can’t wait for cruise ships to come back
@@IntheLoopPodcast thanks. Going to CP and Kennywood too. Never been to a cruise ship before tho. Im a coaster guy but we got lucky. We got upgraded from the Sensation to the Sunrise for free
The Sunrise is a much better ship than the Sensation, so really good upgrade
I nearly fell off that drop tower when it was stationed at the top as a kid. Traumatized but I love amusement parks way too much to stay away 😅
The building at 22:40 is the older open arcade with classic games, obviously currently closed.
Minor nitpick but the international street restaurant actually has been open to the public recently. IIRC they open it for Mother’s Day, Grand carnival & Winterfest
I was unaware, but that is good to hear.
Kings island will always be part of my childhood. When it was paramount owned, as a kid, it was magical lol. Hanna barbera land, days of Thunder, top gun, the vortex, the beast and son of beast!!! It was just a great place to go. Last time I went was for a HS senior group trip. I have such great memories of this place, going as a child then middle, high school. I’m afraid in its current iteration it has lost some of that wonder. Still a great park but lacking the it factor of the movie based rides. Tomb raider and top gun were favorites.I remember TG was shortened to make room for son of beast and I was disappointed. At least they still have the Adventure Express, it was always the first and last ride my family got on. Don’t know why lol, it just became part of my childhood and will always have these fond memories.
I love coasters but not Windseekers 😬🙈
If I remember correctly, that empty building on the L after leaving the area 72 section& heading towards Rip vortex was a arcade. Btw, vortex was too rough for me. It & beast always gave me a headache so I stopped riding them consistently years ago.
isnt this the best place ever?? I am going there tomorrow :3
Flight of fear was the FIRST 🎢 I rode. It was in the Late 90s/EARLY 2000's & I was about 8-12yrs old. It scared me so bad that I didn't ride another until I was 18. So glad I got over my fear bc going to kings island is both mine & my husband's favorite weekend getaway (we live ~2.5hours north of the park, so only a short trip).
BTW, I had no idea what the ride was b4 getting in line, I just knew it was a roller coaster (bc we asked a worker what was in the building) & I wanted to try one. By the time I got up front & saw the coaster it was too late to back out.
ooh Tom and Chee... I use to have one within walking distance from my house but it closed down :-(
Anybody else go to KI on 8/23/20? Officially the worst day I've ever had at a park.
I’m exited to go next summer. But I hear that all there b&m’s have a rattle which is weird but I bet they are all so much fun!
Bro thank you so much :)
The building right next to the antique autos was another arcade
Great video of the park
This is my new favorite park. I love it more than cedar point which is about 45 min away instead of 3.5 hrs. I’d rather drive to this than cp.
The antique cars have been at KI As long as I can remember they’ve just been moved. Kind of a shame because where they used to be (I believe where diamond back is now) had a wooden bridge you drove over and then you drive under it.
Thanks for this tour. Many summer memories with my grandma there in the 80s and 90s. Alot is still familiar and some I don't recognize. Bat used to be Top Gun. Looks like King Cobra/Skylab/Days of Thunder are gone. "Boo Blasters" used to be Phantom Theater. Bring back Phantom Theater!!😡
Going there in two days
“Oh bear!”
WAAAA I WANNA GO HERE SO BAD WITH MY FRIENDS BUT THEY LIVE IN THE UK
My home park!
If anyone is here im going here for a band trip towmorrow and im hyped
IS SO FUN
*I MISS THE THEME OF THE KIDS AREA WHEN IT WAS OWNED BY PARAMOUNT.* I'M A 90s KID SO NICKELODEON NICKTOONS IS PURE NOSTALGIA FOR ME & THE RIDES WERE NICKTOONS THEMED.
35:36
You’re saying peanuts, right?
...
When it was paramount kings island hands down best amusement park in the midwest kids nowadays dont know who snoopy is kings island had nickelodeon style park my kids loved it
Nice vid
I went to the 50th anavesary best rides ever
Hey Guys i havent been to Kings island in 30 years no kidding i do have six flags over GA though to go to )
Finally ... Someone who does justice for Kings Island as opposed to those that grovel on about its history in a very crappy video.
Thank you bro!!!!
You use the help center to get heights tested
The area between Action Zone and Coney Mall is Octoberfest
Ahhh
I have so many comments I don’t want to bore anyone with them. But I can email if you’d like. It was great meeting you again in the brew house and if any of the crew is in OH, KY, or IN I’d love to possibly meet up. Or if I’m in Orlando, Atlanta, VA, or wherever the F kenny and ranger is.

Gonna need to disagree with you about Orion. I got some insane airtime on the banked hills. That said I rode it fairly loose and I'm one of probably less than 20 people who have legally ridden it without a mask (I was the only one on the train so they said it was ok), so I had more ideal conditions to ride than most.
I am most likely wrong, but I can see them adding another kids area (camp snoopy) in part of the Vortex spot.
That would be kinda hard to do with the terrain back there.
@@bigblueamusementproductions please explain. I was there just last week. It is all clear and for the most part very flat.
@@speedylloyd that land is very hilly. Its basically a giant valley. It has some flat spots though.
@@bigblueamusementproductions you do know there are ways to fix that. nearly every ride built involves some type of excavating. Kings Island used to be known for having the best children's area, why not aim for that? Plus Cedar Fair has been moving to add more family rides to all their parks, they have not yet got to Kings Island. It does not have to take up all the space, as Camp Snoopy at Cedar Point is not very large, but has a good number of rides that parents can enjoy with even their youngest kids. Not every addition has to be something huge, and families bring in much more money than and other group.
@@speedylloyd yes I know that and yes I do see stuff geared towards families coming in the very near future! For that plot of land, it would take a lot of excavating and lots of dirt to make that land flat. They would probably have to have a set of stairs go down into the plot of land if they were to make that area a new area of the park.
Help center is for littler kids hight to make it easier on the employees. I go every year in finally Orange so i don't need one any more
Well duh the splash was going to be small with only 5 people in the boat. Wait for a full load with big people in the front, then the entire bridge will disappear with the splash.
Last time I came here I went face to face with a skunk by a vending machine then one of the park workers told me to "stop messing with the skunk" I was just Trynna get a drink 😢
I saw one outside a diner around the enclosed seating last September. it climbed up under my table while I was trying to eat.
Couldn't being myself to going this year and wearing a mask in 90 degree heat.
Is this park nicer than Kings Dominion?
Yes
Thanks
Does anybody know what that kind of cave is near the beast?
So what’s your favorite new for 2020 coaster?
For me I think Texas Stingray
Nice video, the Royal Fountain used to look so majestic but they kind of ruined it in 2019, so that part is very disappointing, a big piece of KI's history was changed, not for the better. Other then that, CF has done pretty good for the park.
I'm kinda meh. If they wanted to add programmable fountains, a pool that size needed a lot more of them. They could have easily been added around the existing stationary fountains for larger effect like the flame gouts.
Do you have to wear a mask while om the coaster?
Yes
@@IntheLoopPodcast i went yesterday. I got hurt on the invertigo on the back right side, row in front if the last
When did you go? I was there for the first time Tuesday.
We were at the park on Tuesday August 11th
@@IntheLoopPodcast I was there same day
Do you deadass have to wear a mask on the rides? Like if you dont will they care and are the lines long?
@@luvv_lolaa4910 lines were about average, they do enforce masks, but if you frequently ride rides, and use the fans in line to your advantage, it's actually not that bad.
Virginia Capital Coasters okay thanks !
Is anyone know hou much ticket for king island?
$45
Oh wow is the old 3D theatre by Vortex gone now?
Also I'll never forgive KI for renaming the Beastie to Woodstock Express. Shameful lol. I was also so sad when Phantom Theatre changed to the Scooby ride, but it was okay. Now that it's Boo Blasters (which isn't even within the Peanuts theme), they really should just re-theme it back to the original.
The 3D theater by vortex is still there, but I believe it is just used as a Halloween haunted house location now.
Parks shouldn't charge more for certain rides 🙄 just charge one fee
I like Orion very much, Better than millie
Cincinnatii?? An american city ? Hmmm
Are you s-
You are probably a liberal from Cali.
RECYCLING of Plastic is done best in USA never and take from BELIZE
Plastic recycling is done best in USA help Britain and help Belize and help South America with actual WASTE REFUSE
So now you need a reservation for a water park that you paid for, wear a
mask inside, and be asked health questions by those who are not your
doctor? Business lost.
I thought this was in theme park tycoon 2
