Around 4 p.m. my wife and I decided to take our son to Kings Island. It was VERY spontaneous. The park wasn't too crowded and the weather was cloudy.

First my son and I rode Little Bill twice, which had a short line. Then the three of us rode Lazytown Sportcopters twice, which had a 25 minute wait. After that, my son rode Blue's Skidoo alone, followed by Nick Jr. Drivers.

After that I bought blueberry ice cream cones for my wife and son, and we headed over to Festhaus to see The Country Line and sat right in front of the stage. I was very proud of my son because he sat still the entire time!

We then rode The Kings Island and Miami Valley Railroad two times in a row. After that, we bought SpongeBob toys for my son at the Nickelodeon Store. My son and I then rode Timmy's Air Tours.

After that, the three of us rode Scooby Doo and the Hauned Castle. It was the first time my 4-year old son ever fired his ghost blaster. Sadly, he a had a score of 0, and my wife beat me 600 to 300 points!

We left the park after that - and were there a total of 4 hours - and stopped by Chan's Asian Wok on Exit 19 for dinner, before driving home to Kentucky.

It was a very enjoyable visit to Kings Island.

Best regards,

Italian Chef

Chan's is the best I go there all the time!

Too bad I didn't bump into you there Chef. I was there on the 3rd. Waits were very short all day.

Thanks for the nice, upbeat trip report.
