Kings Island Tickets Promo Code

Recreation and entertainment are as important for a healthy mind as is good food for health. It is for this reason that parks and recreational spots are always maintained in societies that feel the responsibility of public health. An example of such a recreational venue is Kings Island.

Located in Mason, Ohio in an area about 24 miles northeast of Cincinnati , the amusement park named Kings Island was opened for public in 1972. The park is currently owned by Cedar Fair Entertainment Company . It has the privilege of being the seasonal amusement park that is visited the most across the United States. It is estimated that over 3,000,000 people visited the park in 2009, a figure that is behind only Canada’s Wonderland. The park is situated on an area measuring almost 364 acres.

The idea of making an amusement park like Kings Island was conceived when Coney Island near Ohio River was destroyed by a flood in 1964. The owners of that park, the Wachs family, at that time decided to relocate to a bigger space, owing to the fact that the old place was also unfit for expansion projects. The Wachs family had the idea for the park, but their inability to find a suitable business partner made them sell off the Coney Island to Taft Broadcasting Company in 1969 which later on constructed the Kings Island.

The park was constructed initially with limited attractions for children only, but with the passage of time it improved and facilities were increased, with addition of newer and more modern rides. The Royal Fountain , nevertheless, remains the central attraction of the park since its construction, that is a 1/3 scale look alike of the Eiffel Tower . Similarly, The Racer is the wooden roller coaster that has stayed in its original form from the beginning of the park. It has also won the American Coaster Enthusiasts Award in 2007. Kings Island has improved significantly in the recent years with addition of many of the newer attractions, including the Windseeker, Dinosaurs Alive, Firehawk and Italian Job Stunt Track. Other attractions like Screamin’ Demon, The Beast, The Bat, The Vortex , King Cobra, Water Works, Tomb Raider, Son of Beast and Adventure Village have also remained successful and popular for a long period of time. People come with their families and enjoy at the park as it has rides and roller coasters that amuse every member of the family alike. Apart from these regular attractions, the park also holds festivals and celebrations around the year including Winterfest and Oktoberfest . It is for the great interest of public in this park that it has been awarded Golden Ticket Award by Amusement Today for Best Kids’ Area for nine consecutive years. For an ultimate entertainment for the whole family, Kings Island tickets should be anyone’s first choice!
