I like taking people that haven't been there and take them on the water rides. The look on their faces when they get wet is classic.

I Hate Kings Island I feel like I need to have my Back realighned after each ride. I do like their waterpark though. But Cedar Points coasters are alot better.

They have been running a lot of ads lately for the the new coaster. I think it is called Diamondback? Their website says $32.99 for a single pass but I have been seeing ads for I think $27.99.

I hope they being back Hanna Barbera Land now that Paramount doesn't own it.

They changed it to the Smurf's and it was terrible.

After that, they closed it.

I loved going in there when it was Hanna Barbera Land.

Here is what it was called:

"The Enchanted Voyage ride was closed in 1983, to be retrofitted to the upcoming Smurfs television series. "The Smurfs' Enchanted Village" debuted in 1984, while the television series was popular. People would ride in a boat around the world of the Smurfs celebrating the seasons of Winter, Fall, Summer, and Spring."

No long lines

Who is running the place now if not Paramount?

My grandchildren have season tickets that they got for Christmas, and go every chance they get. They love the Diamondback. Just looking at the picture of them on it, made me sick. :lol:

I went yesterday (Saturday 06/13/09) I paid $26.00 per ticket through SOMC. The new ride, Diamond Back was great. I thought the park was a lot cleaner this year than in the last year or two. The employees were friendlier this day as well.

Always a good time, I love to go down there, and the Beast is still my favorite ride
