HELP..planning trip for opening weekend .

Featured Replies

Hi ...been way to long that i have graced the grounds in OH . My Family is coming up Easter weekend . We need an afordable and close hotel. I have Been looking around and have made several reservations (ramada . the motel 6 in sharonville. the laquinta .) I was wondering if any one had any other insight . Like i said afordable is key . Mom and Pop places are fine, does not have to be some corporate entity .

So any info// tips would be welcome .

I am going to take my son on The Beast for his first time and I am stoked .I rode it opening year way back when with my mom . I can not tell you how excited i am to be coming back Home ... smile.gif

THANKS

When i come to Kings Island, i always stay at the hampton inn on beach

boulevard. The hotel is a 1/4 mile from park. Breakfast is included with room

and has a indoor pool. You will always have a clean room and be very satisfied.

I am also coming opening weekend and going all four days. Any other questions

feel free to ask.

Tom

you mentioned the Hotel 6 in Sharonville. I have stayed there a few times myself. Never had any problems and you simply can not get any cheaper than $30 a night!

Whenever we go we do not stay overnight we just make it an up and back trip. sorry i cant help you.

Thanks... we are playing around with the idea of staying at the ramada or the hampton just because of the indoor pool .

The motel6 being 25-30 $$ cheaper a night is awesome . We are just torn. Zosobeast how far is that in real time driving from the park. Google maps says about 13minutes . Any idea ?

Sharonville according to mapquest is a 18 minute drive from Kings Island.

The hampton inn is $79 per night. smile.gif

Yes we are well aware of the Nick Universe as we are season Pass holders to Carowinds. Ours Changed over a few back . I remember HB land though from my childhood and teenage years .

I have a Photo of me with the elephant and the stung out dog from Banana Splits right by the front entrance near the tower (i am thinking from 1976) . We spent many a summer week in HB land and am sad that i wasn't able to get my son there before the change .

I see they changed The Beastie to the FOP coaster like Carowinds changed the Scooby coaster . That is a Shame .

Tom thanks for your info as well .

I am anticipating a great weekend ,Just for the sheer fact that it has been Almost 10years since my last visit . Super stoked ... just can't wait

Whenever we go we do not stay overnight we just make it an up and back trip. sorry i cant help you.
