Thanks for the update! I can’t wait!

I just started getting into these podcasts, and they are absolutely incredible! Thank you so much for sharing!

I am totally going to have to beg my mom to buy me a copy!!! I’m almost done with Kings Island a Ride Through Time, and the photos in there are amazing! I’m reading it on my Kindle, so the pictures are in black and white, but they still give me a great visual of a Kings Island era I didn’t get the chance to experience! The preview online looks great!

Ok, tiny little time jump here, but I have some questions! I mainly use this blog to learn about the park, and I don’t post much because I don’t have nearly as much knowledge as you all do! I was going on a road trip to see my extended family, and decided to read Kings Island A Ride Through Time to gain more knowledge! First off, the book is absolutely amazing, and I have not been able to put it down. I read it for a total of 8 hours in the car. Since the park has been owned by Cedar Fair since I have been able to walk, I have some questions about Paramount’s FearFest. 1. Do any of the current, or recently closed, Halloween Haunt mazes reuse the props from old FearFest mazes? 2. Was the Paramount Theatre located in the same building as the current Kings Island Theatre? 3. Were the mazes scarier under Cedar Fair’s ownership or Paramount’s ownership? (I only ask this because older threads seem to believe that Paramount’s mazes were scarier, and I want details as to why!!) 4. If the Sewer maze was happening in Festhaus, how was the Studio Fifty-Gore show also occurring there in 2000?

That’s what i’m saying, but I think you are a little lost. Clearly the layout is going to contain the two Zamperla Volares racing around the giga bathroom…

HHNs storylines and theming are phenomenal. The scare zones are packed with scare actors who make some great acting choices. This includes doing chicken motions towards peoples hiding in shops, or standing right near shop doors getting ready to jump at people. One certain scare zone set to a parade has a wonderful storyline that you really need to understand before you go. Also, as much as I love and appreciate KI’s haunted houses and their fabulous theming, the Blumhouse maze at HHN should have blown the competition out of the water.

I would agree that while the scare actors were phenomenal it felt like there weren’t that many. This may be because of the lessened fog and the fact that I could see much clearer, but if I wanted a good scare it felt as though we were walking towards scare actors. Alien X was a bit odd and that area could definitely use some more actors, but the concept could get somewhere. Overall, the experience was a bit underwhelming.

I really do see this as the perfect choice for Park of the Year even without my bias There really is no other park that is more proud of their history than Kings Island itself! I am so lucky to live near a park that does things right! Congrats to everyone who put it in the work to make this happen whether you are a part of this wonderful blog or not!

Thanks this is super helpful!!’

Hi all! This year will be the first year that my friends and I are going to Haunt and trying to get in a maze! We really want some insight as to which mazes are the scariest and which aren’t as scary (minus the two new mazes for this year) Note: we are a group of girls from 13-14 years old! It feels odd posting on a thread because I usually just read every single thread over and over lol. Thanks for the help!

Oh ok perfect! I’m not going to say my age but I am within that range!

I was just nervous that there was an age restriction on the forum! I didn’t know if you had to be above 18 or something like that!! Sorry I should have explained that!

This may make some people happy and my a upset some, but I thought I would share anyways. I am a teenage girl, which sounds weird to say, that has always been fascinated by the history of Kings Island. I actually did my huge research project on it! The information this forum has supplied me with for my project and own enjoyment is tremendous. I have gone to Kings Island every weekend since it has opened, and sharing facts from this forum always fascinates who I am with. As a girl who has been watching those Kings Island history videos since I was 6, I have obtained so much info. The first hand accounts and wonderful stories on this forum are something you don’t really see anywhere else. I really won’t allow this forum to go to waste and hope that this is viewed as another generation sharing the history behind this beautiful park.

New use for the Son of Beast station LOL?
