Coasterstock 2024 Update

Kings Island is dedicated to offering a unique coaster event every year for coaster club members to take part in.
In 2024, the park will celebrate our longstanding relationship with American Coaster Enthusiasts (ACE) by hosting its Spring Conference from May 17-19. More information will be released about this event and ticket purchasing in the coming weeks on the ACE website.
Due to the timing, we will not have Coasterstock in 2024, but we are looking forward to its return in 2025. Throughout the 2024 season, Kings Island will host a series of coaster club opportunities, and we will be in touch with those clubs and past Coasterstock participants before the season begins with more details.
Upcoming Events
The events below are open to (and only being promoted with) the following coaster clubs: American Coaster Enthusiasts, Coaster Crew, European Coaster Club, Great Ohio Coaster Club, Florida Coaster Club, Roller Coaster Club of Great Britain and the Western New York Coaster Club.
Coaster Enthusiasts Meet-Ups, First Ride of the Day and Exclusive Park Ride Photos
Start off your visit to Kings Island by connecting with other roller coaster enthusiasts and grabbing one of the first rides of the day on a featured coaster. During those first rides, park photographers will be stationed in multiple off-ride locations taking photos that you’ll be able to download later.
