Welcome to Kings Island - and the very first operating day for the park as a Six Flags park
Time to head up in the Eiffel Tower to take a look around
Coney Mall
Rivertown
Action Zone
International Street
Snoopy areas
First up is my favorite coaster in the park - Diamondback
Just an extremely fun ride
New this year is Snoopy's Soap Box Racers
This Vekoma Family Boomerang is more fun than it should be
Simple design, but it will definitely put a huge smile on your face when riding
Next door, the rethemed/repainted Air Rail is shaking people into submission
Don't Go In the Shed if you ride Mystic Timbers
Still the longest wooden coaster in the world - The Beast
I'm not proud of how much I love this ride. I think it's the tunnel ending
For some reason, The Racer is extremely popular now and has full queues. It is fun, but I'm not sure about the queue size
Flight of Fear still demands the longest lines in the park. The ride is extremely janky. Bring your Tylenol
Orion grew on me this visit. The trick is to only ride in the very front. Lots of fun there. Extremely mid in every other row for some reason
Adventure Express is still epic
Sol Spin was a great addition to this area of the park
Delirium doing what it does best
Drop Tower. Yay?
Banshee was very Jekyll and Hyde on our trip. One train (purple) provided extremely smooth rides, the other (blue) gave us headaches as it obviously had square tires and rattled through the whole course
The Bat is a guilty pleasure and I hope it never leaves
Currently playing at the park is the Gazillion Bubbles Show. It was awesome. I haven't seen that theater that full in a long time
The park has a new new fireworks, lasers and drone show this year called Under the Stars
It is a great show and definitely worth watching
Of course no visit to Kings Island is complete without a night ride on The Beast
