Description
In 1972, one of America's favorite playgrounds opened with great fanfare. Inspired by the post-Disneyland theme park boom, operators of a small amusement enterprise near Cincinnati realized they needed to go bigger-or go home.

Learn how the park came about, how it transformed over the years, and enjoy the stories behind your show more favorite attractions. Stories come directly from park officials who served throughout Kings Island's history, including the man who started the whole thing from the beginning-Gary Wachs show lessTags
