Kings Island - August 9th, 2016 Trip

[Elizabeth19]

So just a heads up. I went to Kings Island with my mom, dad, brother, 3 sisters, brother and law, and 2 nephews. Now my mom and sister(mother of the 2 nephews) were in Planet Snoopy with the 3 and 5 month old basically all day lol.

We got to the park at 9:40am. Very excited that it was my nephew Finn's first time to Kings Island! I got my picture by the sign with Finn. Me and my dad went to Beast first, rode front row, only waited about 15 min. Then headed to Viking Fury for my nephew Oliver to ride it for his first time. He loved it and wanted to ride it again! Me, my brother, and brother and law headed to Diamondback, rode that twice, got our drinks with the unlimited drink wristband,then headed to The Beast. Met up with every one and rode Beast again. This time when we rode Beast, we must've been sitting on a wheel, cause the ride was super jerky. But I loved it! Got blue ice cream at the stand near SR&R, then we headed over to Racer. We raced and the red side won. Headed over to Adventure Express. I love AE! It has such great theming! Me, my 2 sisters and dad, rode Banshee after that. I'm pretty sure in row 8. Rode Banshee again. My Dad, and 2 sisters rode Delirium while I rode Banshee again. My one sister suggested we ride Invertigo. I swear I felt blackness come over me for literally a second halfway through the ride. Pretty rough but I love Invertigo! We had to head over to potato works, and meet up with every one. Me and my brother rode Beast twice. Met up with the group at Festhous. My mom and sister (mother of my 2 nephews) hadn't rode anything. So they wanted to ride Banshee. but it was closed, due to some lighting in the area. I got my blue ice cream in Planet Snoopy and went to go ride Woodstock Express with my nephew. Me and my sister(mother of nephews) rode Beast. We rode Diamondback and then rode Beast 2 more times. Me, and my sisters went and rode Racer. Racer was basically walk on, so we rode a second time. My sisters wanted to go ride Flight of Fear, so I stayed at Racer. I rode it 3 more times. Red side 2 times in last row, and blue side once in last row. I wanted to ride Beast again before 8pm. So before Beast' train went out of the station,I checked my phone, it was 7:30pm, and my phone was at 4%! So I rushed back over to Racer cause I just had to ride it more! I had to laugh though cause the person standing there at the top of the ramp with the pole recognized me from earlier and asked if Racer was my favorite ride. Lol not favorite, but in the top 5. rode it 4 more times before the workers blocked the entrance with the trash can I waited until someone came and got me at Racer cause my phone was dead, and my sisters knew where I was. Slow walk up to the entrance. Then once I stepped slowly out of the park, the tears came. I probably cried hard for 2 hours straight after that. Cause it was probably my last time to go to KI this year.

I never realized how much I loved Racer until I rode it those 9 times! I've gotten 34 rides on it so far and try my best to make that go up more soon!

I was very blessed and thankful to have gone to Kings Island 3 times this year. Usually, me and my family would only go once a year.
