The thrill of being among the first night riders on the new Banshee roller coaster at Kings Island will have a whole new meaning April 17, when Kings Island hosts “Scream for A Kid Again” to raise money for the Greater Cincinnati chapter of A Kid Again, a non-profit organization which strives to enrich the lives of children with life-threatening illnesses and their families by providing healing times of respite through fun-filled group activities and destination events. Kings Island fans and roller coaster enthusiasts alike will enjoy a night filled with riding the world’s longest inverted roller coaster over and over again.

Scream for A Kid Again Event Details

Thirty-three years to the day it was first introduced in 1980, The Bat will fly again at Kings Island.

The park is changing the name and colors of Flight Deck to The Bat. The change will take effect for the 2014 season.

The new color scheme for The Bat will feature orange track with two shades of charcoal for the columns and supports. Black will be the featured color of the trains.

The summer may be done, but the fun's not over yet!  As the school goes back and session and the leaves fall from the trees, Kings Island transforms from a traditional Cincinnati getaway into a maniac mansion full of killer clowns, ghouls, monsters and much more!
