Kings Island Day Trip

Kings Island was a great experience for our whole family. We got to ride lots of cool rides, much more intense than the Disney world rides.  We even increased our bravery a lot. The sad thing was that we didn’t have our phones (because there was a big chance it could get lost or stolen), or a camera, so we couldn’t take pictures. :(

We started out at Soak City. The first ride we did was the Rendezvous Run.  It was a four way water slide that plunges you into darkness,turns 360 degrees, then went into a drop, and the ride slowed you down, and then you stopped. It was really cool for a water slide. Much more impressive than the ones at the monon center (a nearby waterpark).

The next ride we did was called the Pineapple Pipeline. There were three slides: a green slide that bacically just drops you; an orange slide that was a really steep twist; and a yellow one like the orange, but less steep. They all were really fast, and you weree in freefall. A cool thing about the slides is that it kind of has designs inside the slide

Then we did a ride that was two slides twisting around each other, and it was like they were revolving around each other. When you entered the slide, it is a big drop, a gentle slow, a big drop… and it goes like that for about 4 times before it ends

 There were little wristbands we could use to get free drinks at these coca cola stations all over kings island. The kids were constantly asking to get drinks and thought it was really cool. :)

There were some other other cool slides we did, but none of us can remember what they were called. There was a big slide that was really wide, which Perry, Kaden and Daddy went on. The most impressive one was this huge slide that the way you started was there is a trapdoor that falls, and you are in freefall for a few seconds, and then the slide catches you, and then you slide really fast in these twists and turns.

The cool thing about the slide was that the slide was transparent, so you could see a lot of the park while speeding really fast down a tube.

There was also a wave pool (two actually, a kiddie one and an older kids one)that the kids all played in for about 20 or so mnutes. After a while everyone was cold, and we decided to take the train to the other side.

When we arrived at kings island we started out in Planet Snoopy.  The first ride we did was called the Viking Feiry(which wasn’t part of the theme in the park), which was a boat that rocked really high in the air. Mommy and charlie both felt sick after the ride.

After the viking feiry(and two sick stomachs) we rode a ride callled the Woodstock. It was a short ride, a little longer than the barnstormer, and more intense. It started out really high, and then you dropped  pretty fast  and it was rickety. Charlie loved it! Mommy did not.

We then rode a ride similar to the buzz lightyear ride in disney world, and it was called “boo blasters”. The ride was about these ghosts who are making these evil potions that you  shoot with these laser pointers that you shoot targets with.

Kaden, Daddy, and  Perry went on a ride alled adventure express. It was another wooden rollercoaster thar went really fast, and it was really rickety. It was fun though.

Most of the other rides in Planet Snoopy were for little kids. There  was a dog show that Mommy, Perry, Josie and Charlie watched while Kaden and Daddy rode the most intense rollercoaster in the park: the Banshee. The line was super short when we arrived there, so that was a bonus. When you get in the seats you are in one of those hanging rollercoasters, and how the ride starts is you go up really high, about a couple thousand feet in the air, the you drop and spin, then go into a loop, then another one and another one, and then it speeds you up side down while going straight, and then it ended. Since the line was so short, we could do it again, and we did.  

Then daddy and kaden rode drop tower. It was exactly as the name says. It was a tower that drops you.  It  takes you up at least 3000 feet, then it drops you you are in freefall for about 10 seconds. It was scary. After that we did the delurium.

It was similar to drop tower, but it was a spinning swing that went really high. You were in freefall there too.

Then Perry, Kaden and mommy rode the Bat. It was not as in tense as the banshee, but it was still the hanging rollercoaster.

You start out on  a flat plat form, then you go down a really steep drop off a canyon. You do all these twists and turns while riding, and that made Perry and mommy sick. Then the ride ended.

Daddy and Kaden wanted to do one last ride before we left, so they did mystic timbers. It was even more rickety than adventure express. At the end of it there was some  really big screens where they look like it is real and they show bats, and then a huge bat that breaks in. It was a really scary ride.

After that we got our stuff, and headed for home. It was a really fun day we had, but all the kids were exausted. We decided to come back… in a couple years.
