Kings Island

We took our final amusement park trip of the summer yesterday. We headed out to Kings Island around 6 am, and made it there in record breaking time, there was no traffic on Labor Day morning. It was chilly and cloudy, perfect! The crowds were pretty sparse in the morning, so the boys had their run of Planet Snoopy. Hudson's favorite ride was the Great Pumpkin Coaster and Brooks liked Beastie (now known as Woodstock Express).

Kings Island is owned by Cedar Fair (Cedar Point), so the kids area is now Snoopy themed. Planet Snoopy is great, there are 3 kid sized coasters, including a wooden one and a suspended one.

Brooks and Hudson checked out the Delirium test seats. Delirium is my favorite flat ride ever!

We were excited to have our friend Ray come with us. He's from China and it was his first time at an American amusement park. He had a great time.

We had a fun day at Kings Island, it's not my favorite park, but I do love the airtime filled Diamondback. The rest of the coasters are nothing extraordinary. Kings Island was the first park that Ryan and I went to as a couple. It was on a Butler band trip 16 years ago (crazy?!). It was a chilly day and Ryan decided to ride White Water Canyon because there was no line. He got soaked and then proceeded to walk around all day cold. He says he is surprised I stayed with him after listening to him whine all day and here we are 16 years later....
