mtl2013 Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 I live probably 4 or 5 miles away from the park. Its great! Quote
markhudson17 Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 I can usually get to the park in 40-45 minutes. 30 if I'm in a hurry Quote
mech Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 12 mins with no traffic ... around 20ish avg Quote
Joshrzmeup Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 20 minutes. 15 if i hit the lights right. Quote
TylerRider Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 I plan to be able to see the Eiffel Tower, and other tall rides from my house. I wantto be able to walk there! Quote
Coolangatta Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 It seems like a lot of people that post on the forums live relatively close to the park. Just wondering how far away people on here are from Kings Island. I'm just outside Chicago, and I would drive to Maine if KI was located there I love it so much Quote

alluna Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 I'm in Dayton. I actually had to Google maps this to find out how far away it was. We just hop in the car and go the 'back' way past Traders World and the prison.I never thought about how far away it was! Quote
EssentiallyCoaster Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 ^Same 45.4 miles, 58 minutes according to Google maps on I-75 south. Quote
Rustbucket Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 8 miles to the west. It takes about 15 minutes to get to the entrance. Quote
countess_of_tuscany Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 I live, according to Google Maps, 228 miles away. It says 3 hours and 50 minutes, but sometimes it takes a little longer during heavy traffic. But it's totally worth the drive! Plus, we have fun along the way sharing our anticipation of getting there! Oh, I can't wait for this season!! Quote
The Beast Rider Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 It's right at 70 miles for me. Takes about 1 1/2 hours if I go the quick way. I'm about 1/2 way between Indy and Dayton, right on 70. I go to the park down IN-1 to US52, I am jumping for joy that 275 is done!! That's the best news I've heard all winter! Quote
Dalefan Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 I live about 80 something miles from KI. I can get to the park in a hour and 10 mins depending on the cops and if i stop for food. Quote
fan of beast Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 8 miles. about a 12 minute drive. the best part is we drive by, if the parking lot is too full, we drive right back home. if we get an evening rain, we jump in the car and head over. we catch the empty rides after most of the people in the park bail.

TowerJohnny Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 218 miles, roughly 3 1/2 hours. I live just off interstate 74 on the Illinois/ Indiana border GO ILLINI!! NIT bound........"I got a rock." Quote
Oldiesmann Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 According to Google, 23.7 miles via car or 18.3 miles via bike... Quote
sheikra_rocks Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 It takes me about 25 to 30 minutes to get to KI traveling 25 miles from Anderson Township. On the other hand, Coney is a relatively short 7 miles and ten minutes from my house. Which explains why I have worked at Coney for so many years and never at Kings Island. That would be a lot of extra time wasted sitting in my car driving! I live on 8 mile and it only takes 15 minutes for me to catch 275 from Beechmont and head up. We should meet up sometime! My friend Jan and I eat at Panera about twice a month. Quote
Mr. Coastermania Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 Parkersburg wv is a ways out as well.It would be cool to live only a few miles a way.id be there everyday. Quote
stephatron Posted May 24, 2010 Posted May 24, 2010 I wish I could live 5 miles away from the park. Alas, I live a mere 2,355 miles from the park I live in Seattle, so I think I have about everyone beat in terms of distance? I used to live 30 minutes away but I haven't been back since 2001. I will get to go this summer however! Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 24, 2010 Posted May 24, 2010 Good for you! And we have some who read these boards from Iraq and Afghanistan.... Quote
stephatron Posted May 24, 2010 Posted May 24, 2010 Dang, I thought I would have that in the bag! Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 24, 2010 Posted May 24, 2010 Just remember, you are not that far from PNE and the glorious Coaster... Of that, *I* am envious. And Puyallup. And Silverwood and Tremors, by comparison, are closer than they are to here! Enjoy! Quote
Justin_M17 Posted May 28, 2010 Posted May 28, 2010 21.28 miles away according to Mapquest. It usually takes me between 20 and 30 minutes to get from my front door to the park depending on how fast (Or rather, how recklessly? ) I drive. Quote
bravo4460 Posted May 31, 2010 Posted May 31, 2010 i live in central indiana. about 2 hour give or take Quote
dragsterfan420 Posted May 31, 2010 Posted May 31, 2010 I live approximately 1160 miles away from good 'ol KI. Still have managed to go every summer for the past 12-15 years though. If I were to drive there Bing says it would take 16 hours and 50 minutes; holy cow. Conversely, my cousins live 5.6 miles away, and is like a 10-15 minute drive to the park. Quote
Adventure Express Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 About 71 Miles from Kings Island at my house. Quote
Dieseltech20 Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 165 miles according to Google. Takes a little over 2 hours but is very much worth it. Quote
