Went to King's Island with my 21 year old daughter...

Went to King's Island with my 21 year old daughter and my brother-in-law. We had a great time and the rides were amazing! Our favorite was the Banshee with Diamondback a close 2nd. But again, we hit them all and enjoyed them all. Well...kind of enjoyed the beating that The Beast gave us. That coaster could easily be renamed "The Prize Fighter" because I felt like I went a few rounds with a boxer after the ride was over. We took the rear cart and took our beating like men and women. lol.

We did the Fast Pass Plus and I highly recommend it. Saved us hours of waiting in line and by mid-day we were able to get in all the coasters (multiple times) that our bodies could take and were able to head home around 4:30pm. (We had gotten there at 10:30am).

Couple very minor complaints that kept it from getting a 5 star rating.

1. The were no "in ride" pictures for the FireHawk. I had gotten a photo pass for the day and was looking forward to capturing all ride photos. I think all the bigger rides should have them.

2. There weren't fans at all the loading/unloading stations. The weather there is mostly good. But on warm days like the day we went, the rides that had fans at the loading stations were glorious. Even with the fast pass plus, we'd have a wait a few minutes on some rides and those fans were a welcome comfort. Most rides should have them as it is a cheap way to provide guest comfort.

3. Little to no signage. At any amusement park I've been to before, there are signs at most path intersections. pointing to which way the rides/attractions are located. I know they provide maps but with all the winding paths and it being my first trip, it wasn't as easy as it should've been to find and get to the next ride we wanted to hit. That said, I just started asking employees and everyone was friendly and knew how to guide us to the ride we were looking for. Good customer service.

All in all, we had a great day and I will certainly be back. Need to get the ring rust off for my rematch with The Beast. ;)
