We will never return to King's Island. It is not little kid friendly (we took 7 kids), not 40 and over friendly (way too much hiking), not pocketbook friendly (expect to pay 3x the normal amount for anything with half the quality), expect grouchy workers (except one foreign guy that we couldn't understand), and very strict lifeguards to the ...

Waste of Money
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/11/09
The park started out on a sour note, as we had to pay $10 to park at least a mile away from the gate with no shuttle. Once we entered, it only got progressively worse. The paths are poorly-designed with many dead ends that make it difficult to navigate from one ride to another. Once in line, we had to wait over an hour for every ride. The only ...

Not Worth The $$$$$
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/05/09
I cant really say we liked anything about the park. The food was outragously expensive. We paid $27 for 2 chili dogs, fries, 1 drink, and a bowl of strawberries. The supposedly famous Skyline chili smelled like dog food and was the worst tasting slop we have EVER had anywhere. We threw most of it out and ended up with stomach cramps and diahrrea ...
Overall Kings Island is a great amusement park. What made our trip even better was purchasing the VIP tour tickets. We recieved front-of-the-line access on every ride and attraction. We also had free parking, a personal tour guide and a complimentary blue ice cream cone. This made our experience fantastic. If it were my first time visiting the park, I'd definitely purchase the VIP tickets.

KI is great, I remember it as a child loving it, as a teen loving it and now as a paying mother....no so much.
My family went over the weekend. We paid $30 for tickets, which is a good price. Then when we got inside and were "stuck" with nothing to drink, we decided to sit down and have lunch. 2 pizza's and 6 waters later....I ...

GREAT PARK
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/30/08
Kings Island is GREAT! I recommend it to everyone. We have a gold pass and go there a lot! At Kings Island there are so many things to do like ride rides, go to the waterpark, watch live shows and every once in a while there's a special event. There are great kids rides as well as bigger rides. My favorite rides are Vortex, Firehawk, Flight of ...

Fun but expensive
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/27/08
so the kids loved it! That's whats important, right? But from a mothers point of view why does the food and drinks have to cost so much, it was hot, and water was 3.79 a bottle. With the price of tickets, add in games,etc... they just don't have to squeeze you on drinks to! Believe me your going to spend it in the park, so why not give you ...

Horrible!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/18/08
The locusts/ciccada's were so plentiful and LOUD, you couldn't hear the person next to you. The insects were so thick, flying everywhere. We was only in the wooded area of the park for an hour or two, but I had a huge headache from all the racket. Surely they could fog the park for locusts like they do mosquito's? The staff there is ...
I buy a pass every single year... I go atleast once a week during the summertime. I absolutely love that place and hope they bring more rides and attractions soon. They always have something new to do there and I just absolutely LOVE IT!
I come here rather often because I live in KY and I love King's Island. The lines can be long sometimes but most of the rides if not all are worth it. They have a pet daycare center so if your traveling with dogs and just dogs you can keep them their and it is really nice. It is too dangerous to leave your pup in the car so this is a really ...
