It is with great sadness that Kings Island mourns the loss of one of its live show performers, Ally Davis, who passed away Monday at the age of 21 in a crash with a tractor-trailer on Interstate 75 in Kentucky.

Davis was a senior musical theatre student at Northern Kentucky University and worked last year at Kings Island as a character escort and a performer in the WinterFest show, “Tinker’s Toy Factory: The Christmas Fever.” While WinterFest guests may not have known her personally, they all knew what she brought to the character that she played in the show, Buttons.

A kind and talented person, it is an understatement that all those who knew Ally will miss her greatly.
