It IS KINGS ISLAND! The biggest ammusment park I have ever been in. Be preparred for a lot of walking and a lot of sunscreen for your summertime enjoyment. Pack light for rides. Or don't pack at all to prevent risk of losing your personal belongings. If you do bring bags- Banchee, the new Mystic Timbers, and Flight of Fear do NOT let you bring anything on. I only brought my phone and a hat. My phone I brought in this pouch in the following picture. I was able to ride every coaster with this on and no one rejected except one employee at Mystic Timbers. I had already rode before he ever saw me. I knew I would be okay and he understood and rode AGAIN with ease. Have fun here everybody! Wear comfy shoes and stay hydrated.

Seems like everytime we go theres issues with 3 or 4 of the rides. Prices change from their website online and at the park. Wont honor the prices either. They are getting a little too big for their britches

Very fun time at the amusement and water park. Great rides for all ages and decent food options throughout the park. It was a terribly hot day, and the park was packed, so the line waits were on the too long side. Nonetheless, we had a fun time a.d the water rides and wave pools really coed us down.

Always a great place to visit. Winterfest was good this year. Crowd wasn't too bad for the last weekend of the year. Weather was perfect and the family enjoyed the night. We have had season passes for many years.

Come here about 30 times a year at least. I am normally really happy with this place, but that was until the fast lane passes made the normal lines 10 times longer. Not to mention the price to buy one, it's ridiculous. In my opinion they should do away with it and go back to their normal lines. I buy a gold pass every year because the benefits used to be awesome, and every year it's seems to be less worth it.
P.S. mystic timbers is awesome but standing in line for 2 almost 3 hours with nothing to drink and in direct sunlight, I almost passed out by the time I got to the front of the line.

So much to do. Roller coasters and water park make it fun for the whole family. Lots of rides for young kids too. Going for halloween and walking through haunted houses is my favorite time to go. They have christmas lights for the holidays too, which are beautiful.

There are 3 main problems with Kings Island that I'm going to list in no particular order.

1. The prices are completely outrageous. It's almost $40 for entry, $20 to park, and then any food is at least $15 for a meal. Oh and if you want drinks for the whole day? Another $15 for a souvenir cup. No free refills on soft drinks. The fast passes are $68 a person as well. And also, only the fast pass customers are treated as customers here.

2. Alcohol and smoking problem. My husband, one of our mutual friends, and I went to Kings Island and Halloween haunt. We constantly smelled smoke on the haunted houses, in line, and just walking around. I'm not talking about the mist they pump out at night. I'm talking about cigarette smoke. Inside of the haunted houses. The staff kept saying to only smoke in designated area and said they would report anyone who was smoking, but this was an all day problem. Also, Kings Island does not cut people off when they've had too much to drink. We went to wait in line and though the people walking towards us were trying to get past so we quickly went to the side, into the line. One man got very angry (he was obviously drunk) and started yelling about not letting anyone in front of them in line, looking at us. To avoid a fight, we quickly apologized and stood in line behind them. All of the members of their group then started smoking in line for the attraction. Security and police were competent ineffective.

3. Unaccompanied teenagers. We were in the park until 12:30am due to Halloween haunt. At Kings Island, teenagers are permitted to run around without supervision after dark. Due to this lack of supervision, we witnessed very inapporpriate behavior. This included a lot of sexual touching while in line for several attractions and we also witnessed a physical fistfight. Security did nothing about the sexual behavior and responded very slowly to the fistfight. These complaints are in addition to the teenagers being generally rude and obnoxious.

Honestly, Kings Island has some major problems. The attractions are fun, but short, and you have to wait 1-2 hours for about a minute of attraction. Halloween haunt probably has the best value, because there are people constantly scaring you and the atmosphere is better than during the day. But after 10pm, there is very little action taken by staff and security to maintain civil behavior in the park. We live close to Kings Island, but it would probably be easy to find another theme park with better value.

I grew up going here and always thought it was the coolest place ever. When u went back for the first time in 15 years, I realized that's not the case anymore. Redhawk sucks. Great idea that was poorly executed and we spent FOREVER in line for it on a slow day. Some of the ride were cool, but I just feel that the park has declined in excitement overall.

I love the food at Kings Island Lil Rosa's Pizza is one of the best intense for kind of like an early birthday gift my cousin took me there yesterday we were there all day walking around that whole park is probably like 12 miles I hate roller coasters oh which takes up most of the rides now I'm incredibly scared of roller coasters they just grab my stomach and make me feel like I'm going to puke the high things the drop on the roller coasters again it is one of the best places I've ever been when it comes to fun

Took a wrong turn into Kings Island by accident and had the worst customer experience I have had in a LONG time. Refused to simply let you turn around and instead force you to pay $20 to enter the parking lot. Their solution is to give you a voucher to give to their security desk. I had to drive through their parking lot, find security, fill out paperwork (including my license plate number and a signature!?) just to get the money back that they took from me for no reason. Kings Island has figured out how to make this experience as inconvenient as humanly possible. They wasted 20+ minutes of my time that I will never get back. They just use it as an excuse to steal from people and get an extra buck. I will make sure never to bring my family here.

I'm a regular at Kings Island. I've been purchasing a gold pass for the past 5 summers, and it's definitely worth it! It pays for itself after like 2 or 3 visits, you get free parking, admission to Soak City, and you get into Halloween haunt! The rides are much fun, the staff is great, and the food is yummy (besides it being overpriced). I recommend anyone interested in visiting or wanting a pass to definitely do it. It's a great park.

Always love coming to Kings Island with the family great memories year after year since I was a kid with my parents! We need more bigger rollercoasters but they're all good love rollercoasters and amusement parks. This place even had a Brady Bunch episode and an Evil Kenevil stunt here and where else can you see the Eiffel Tower without going to Paris!

Always a great time at the park. Love the Skyline, Larosas and Graeters Ice Cream!!! My local Favs!!! Favorite ride is still the Diamond Back!!! I absolutely love the antique cars are back!! I remember that when I was young. All the employees I encountered where pleasant and truly appeared to like working there. Only complaint I had was the wasted space at the Starbucks Cafe. Everytime I walked by it seemed like only a couple people where ever in there at a time. And it was such a big space. Just saying. Wasted space it seemed to me. Maybe split it up and sell something next door to the Starbucks. Anyway. Awesome time! Highly recommend the Fast Trak pass too!!! I hate waiting in lines. Rode the Diamond Back 4 times in a row no wait! Woot!!

Fun coasters with really nice staff. Get the all day dining. Definitely worth it. Fast Pass lanes were so quick. Not as good as Cedar Point but definitely some great coasters to experience.

King's Island is a pretty fun park, but its hard when everything is so spaced out and you have to pay for lockers just to put your stuff somewhere. The waterpark was ok, only spent about 2 hrs in there but the amusement park was awesome! We had a blast riding all of the roller coasters but got done with everything at around 7pm when the park didn't close until 10. So we killed some time watching shows and cooling down cause it was a very hot day. Other than that, it was worth the trip! Probably won't go back for another couple years but it was a fun park to visit for the first time.

We came to the park as we do every year for the past 15 year. We purchased 7 two day pass. To shorten the story I was totally disappointed and disgusted with the bathrooms. They were beyond nasty. I searched out several bathroom in 2 days trying to find descent on to use. The stalls had old dryed up stool on the inside doors. Around the base and the some of the bowl had stool and urine. I do understand that these are public bathrooms. Yes there were attendants in the bathrooms. They would be standing in there supply area playing with there phones or doing nothing. I did see one attendant mopping the floor I was like great finally, until her mop water smelled like she was mopping the floor with yesterday urine. This company makes a lot of money for customers to come here and not have a half way clean bathroom to use. They need to be ashamed of there self. It is said to say my family and I will not be coming back. After kings island being our place to visit 4 times a summer.

Have only missed one season since spring of 2002 and I have never had any complaints. Now that some of the kids are old enough to go we all have a great time whether we are in planet snoopy or riding diamondback. This is a well rounded place when it comes to having something for everyone to enjoy. We were there for opening day this year and it was a blast. The kids are so excited to go next weekend when soak city opens for the first day this year.

Kings Island is always fun. The newer rides are really smoothe and feel really safe compared to some past rides. The Beast will always be one of the greatest roller coasters of all time and, though it's a rough ride, it's a must. There's nothing in the world like riding The Beast at night. They've done a great job in recent years of revamping the food services. It's all very modern and there are even some kinda trendy foods like large burritos and surprisingly good chicken tenders.

King's Island is always a good time and the food is coming along. It's much better than it used to be! We had a blast this weekend! The park looks inviting (although eating areas need more cleaning, more often), employees are friendly, helpful and polite. It was a hot, busy day but nobody was short or sassy.

A couple things took away a star. It was hot. Really, really hot. There are not enough misting fans in the lines. Even if there were more fans that didn't mist, that would be helpful, especially in lines like Mystic Timber where there is NO air movement. It's too hot in the summer not to have more of these. It's actually irresponsible. Many of the misting fans didn't work. They blew and there was mist but most of them only had one mister of 4 even working. On really hot days, this is vital to people staying upright in line. These should be a priority safety item. It's to important to ignore.

Next, access to the park is awful. Bring back two entrances! It took us almost 40 minutes just to park and that was with almost all the lanes open. Because of the heat, many people were going straight to the water park. Having an entrance down there would be awesome to get people into the park faster, especially if you have to pee!

Last, where had all the seating gone? I know keeping people moving is vital to revenue, but there isn't anywhere to sit in the shade except for a couple eating areas and smoking areas. I was desperate for anywhere to sit but had to settle for squatting on curbs. Ugh! It was too hot and we actually ended up cutting or day short because we'd couldn't rest.

Love King's Island! This was my first time back since I moved away 16 years ago. I was able to take my 9 year old and he had a blast! Hope to be able to go back again next year and take the whole family.

I was harassed for not wearing a mask. "Policy" or not I felt super uncomfortable when I had workers coming up to me, getting in my face and pushing the fact I was not wearing one. I was outside, where TONS of people were pulling their mask down and walking around. Will make sure that we never get passes again after this year, very disappointed with how kings island is handling things. it's not about the virus anymore, or the worker that was in my face would have stood 6ft apart.

King's Island is such a wonderful place. It is maintained very nicely and guarantees a good time. I've spent an entire day there on multiple occasions and never get bored. If you're going to be there for a while, I highly recommend buying refillable cup. If you drink a lot, buying individual drinks at restaurants will quickly add up.

Just got back from my first trip, and it was great! Unless you wanted to buy food or drinks, but I didn't and wasn't expecting to.

Also my friend lost his wallet, and it was found and recovered by the staff, with everything in it.

Nice

Kings Island needs to take pride in their park. It has deteriorated from its former glory. Perhaps it is because of the many ownerships it has undergone. The restaurant's are not up to standards and don't sell what is advertised.

Great coaster, finally made it to ride the legendary Beast roller coaster. I live in Colorado and have been wanting to visit for years. Rode all the coasters but 2. We were looking forward to riding all the coaster but diamondback was broken and walked right past mystic timber s. Wish we could ve rode those two nut it wasn t in the cards.
