Blog

Huh. So normally when I start a new blog, I like to look back at the last week’s blog. Sorry about last week’s blog. Sometimes I’m all over the place, however I won’t apologize for my love of deviled eggs, games or candles. So technically I’m not sorry? My next big adventure is on the horizon and I’m headed south! South Bend, Indiana that is. My fiance Eric and I have called the Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati area home since 2016 and we are definitely going to miss it. For this final segment, I want to recount my time at Kings Island because there have been some great memories and amazing opportunities. One last time, let’s get started!

Ten hours after introducing its tallest, fastest and longest steel roller coaster in front of thousands of park guests and news media, Kings Island received the first delivery of parts for Orion with pieces for the transfer table. Later in the day, the first track piece was delivered.

The wait is finally over for Kings Island fans. Come spring 2020, the park will boast one of only seven giga coasters in the world, a class of roller coasters having a height or drop of 300-399 feet.

Watch the replay of Kings Island's 2020 announcement.

One of the most popular shows in Kings Island’s 47-year history is coming to an end. "Gravity" will wrap up its two-year run on Sunday, which consists of more than 440 performances.

Can’t make it to Kings Island for the 2020 announcement on Thursday night? Tune in to the Kings Island blog for the live stream of the biggest announcement in the park’s 47-year history.

A sure sign summer is coming to an end: daily operation for the 2019 season at Kings Island ends this Sunday, August 18. After Sunday, Kings Island will be open for weekend operation August 24-25 and over Labor Day weekend August 30 through September 2 to close out the summer season.

They made the magic and they came back! More than 250 people who had been involved in Kings Island’s entertainment department over the past 47 years gathered at the park for the first-ever entertainment reunion event.

We have some exciting news for Kings Island fans: The park has created a Spotify playlist chock-full of your favorite songs played at the 364-acre amusement and water park. Kings Island fans can listen to seven different playlists of songs played throughout the park.

I think I definitely had a different start to the week than most. I had the chance to help with a behind the scenes tour of The Beast for some roller coaster enthusiasts from the Netherlands and Belgium. It never ceases to amaze me how something like a passion for roller coasters can bring people together.
