I want to know more about the Golden Celebration. Unfortunately, I don’t think we will see a parade, but I am excited to find out what’s in store when it comes to entertainment and shows.

Excited to be going on opening day (16th)! First time I'll be visiting a theme park of any sort on opening day.

This announcement unfortunately didn't really reveal much entertainment wise other than reiterating what we already knew. What are the new shows, what exactly is the celebration?

Yeah, this is basically "Okay, here's what we're doing new, but we're not saying what they actually are, and here's some already known reminders of waterpark, Haunt and WF operating."

Just about everything related to Kings Island's 50th Anniversary Golden Celebration Season......I'm definitely excited but looking forward to it..  Second of all, I know Kings Island has a lot of planning to do this year....  I am hopeful Kings Island will have 50th Anniversary stuff ready for the passholders in the next couple weeks....and I would love to add more buttons/pins once again this year.
