The Greater Cincinnati area has been getting plenty of water in the form of rain this spring, but those who are ready to dive into summer will get their first opportunity when Kings Island’s Soak City Water Park opens for its 30th anniversary season on Saturday. Home to exhilarating attractions – Tropical Plunge, towering seven stories and featuring six water slide experiences; Rendezvous Run, which turns you 360 degrees in the dark; Mondo Monsoon, a four-person thrill ride; and our huge wave pool, Tidal Wave Bay – Soak City is the premier water park in the region.

Kings Island rolled out the carpet for some of its biggest fans at Coasterstock 2019

How to enjoy all of Kings Island’s thrill rides when visiting the park with young children

If you’re visiting Kings Island with a child who is too short or too scared to ride roller coasters like The Beast, Banshee and Diamondback, the Parent Swap Program makes it easy for you to still enjoy all of the park’s major thrill rides. Try it out and let us know how it worked for you.

A Walk In The Park at Kings Island: Coasterstock

Blood and sweat was definitely put into Coasterstock this year. Thankfully no tears were shed. Blood is referring to the paper cuts on my hands from putting together hundreds of welcome packets for people and sweat refers to the hot conference room in which I sat to put together said packages. However I’m hardly one to complain. I find that if you do things with a positive attitude and put a positive spin on tasks, they go by much faster and your positivity will spread to others.

New immersive international festival coming to Kings Island this summer

Kings Island’s famous International Restaurant will re-open to the public for a special Grand Carnivale themed dining experience each night of the festival.

Daily operation begins for 2019 season

Here's a sure sign that summer is just around the corner: Today, Kings Island begins daily operation for the 2019 season. Kings Island will be open from 10 a.m. until 10 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays through May 23.

Hundreds of roller coaster fans to gather at Kings Island for Coasterstock

For roller coaster enthusiasts, there are two things that separate spring from the rest of the year. At the top of the list is once we hit spring, that means amusement and theme parks across North America are opening for the season, which is good. Spring also means Coasterstock, which is even better. The two-day event begins Friday morning at Kings Island and runs through Saturday night at the 364-acre amusement and water park.

Lots of things to do at Kings Island for kids in Planet Snoopy

For families with young children or even those who are simply young at heart, Kings Island’s Planet Snoopy is the perfect place to spend the day. Voted “Best Kids’ Area in the World” 18 consecutive years by Amusement Today, Planet Snoopy features an elaborate collection of PEANUTS-themed family rides and attractions, including kiddie rides specifically designed for children. And if you have children less than 48 inches tall, it would likely get your vote too.
