Kings Island is an amusement/theme park located in Mason, Ohio, not too far from the city of Cincinnati, operated by Six Flags and Kings Island Entertainment. Opened in 1972, Kings Island has been recognized as one of the most notable seasonal theme parks in the United States, and is home to several record breaking coasters, including The Beast and Banshee. Kings Island is one of Six Flags most popular parks.

The park has switched owners numerous times since it first opened, and as a result, has used several famous cartoon characters as its mascots over the years, beginning with Hanna-Barbera characters such as Scooby-Doo, and later Nickelodeon characters such as Spongebob Squarepants. The current set of mascots for the park are the characters from Dc, Looney Tunes, and Charles Schulz' Peanuts comic strip such as Charlie Brown and Snoopy.

Kings Island is partnered with Coca - Cola, Starbucks, Tom And Chee, Auntie Annie's, Larosas Pizzeria, Skyline Chili, Graeters Ice Cream, Dip n Dots. Build a Bear Workshop, Panda Express, Icee, Kraft - Heinz, Prairie Farms, Eisenberg Franks, Fischer Homes, Panama Jack, Hersheys Ice Cream, Progressive Insurance and Charles Schulz' Peanuts.

History[]

Kings Island 1972 souvenir map

1972 souvenir map of the park.

In 1972, a new amusement park was opened by Taft Broadcasting in Mason, Ohio to relocate several rides from existing park Coney Island, which was built near the Ohio River and prone to flooding. The new park was named Kings Island, taking its name from Coney Island and the nearby area of Kings Mills.

Hosting a variety of rides and shows for all ages, Kings Island has drastically changed throughout the years. Originally, the park mascots were the animated characters of Hanna-Barbera, but this changed when Paramount bought the parks in 1992 and merged with Viacom in 1994 to implement Nickelodeon TV characters, as well as rides based on Paramount films such as Top Gun, Face/Off, THE ITALIAN JOB: Stunt Track, and TOMB RAIDER: The Ride. The Hanna - Barbera characters remained in the park until 2006, when the children's' area of Hanna-Barbera Land was changed to Nickelodeon Universe. That same year, the Cedar Fair Entertainment Company, acquired Kings Island and the rest of Paramounts theme parks. As a result, they began to remove all movie themes from their rides starting in 2008, in addition to replacing the Nickelodeon Universe with the current Planet Snoopy in 2010, featuring characters from Charles Schulz's Peanuts comic strip. The Peanuts retheming also resulted in the removal of Scooby-Doo in his ride, which was rethemed to a generic haunted house under the name Boo Blasters On Boo Hill. This marked the first time that Scooby-Doo was not present in the park since it first opened, which at the time was over thirty-five years. In 2023 Six Flags and Cedar Fair Merged and became one company under the Six Flags name.

In 2020, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the park delaying both the annual season and the debut of the newly constructed Orion coaster from April 11 to July 2, but with limited capacity and reservations. Events such as the return of 2019's Grand Carnivale were also postponed to the following year in 2021. Though the reservation requirement was lifted by August, the park's annual holiday events of Halloween Haunt and Winterfest were cancelled for that year as well. However, a new Halloween event by the name of Tricks and Treats Fall Fest was featured. This event focused more on seasonal foods and traditions than scare mazes. Despite the difficulties, virtual queues debuted for popular attractions that same year, and an announcement was made that all season pass holders who had previously purchased or renewed their season passes for 2020 would receive free pass renewals for 2021.

Action Zone[]

Action Zone is home to many of the major thrill rides of the park. Although originally themed to a stunt arena for films under Paramount's ownership, it is now themed around thrill-seeking and adventure, and features many rides to accompany this theme. The site of this area originally opened as Lion Country Safari (later renamed Wild Animal Safari), and featured a monorail attraction where guests could observe various zoo animals. A sub-area named Adventure Village later opened in this spot, before all animal attractions were removed and the Adventure Village name was given to the entire area. The area was again entirely rethemed and renamed to its current iteration of the Paramount Action Zone, featuring rides either based on or named after Paramount films. The film company's name was removed along with several rides being renamed following Cedar Fair's acquisition of the park.
