I think we can all agree that 2020 has had enough “horror” for the year, so when Kings Island, just like Cedar Point, decided to celebrate things a bit differently this year, it was understandable. There are no haunted houses, you won’t find jump scares and screams lurking at every corner, there is a distinct lack of fog pouring out into the streets. Gone are the monsters of years past. This year things are much more… festive. This year we are doing the Kings Island Tricks and Treats Fall Fest.

There will be plenty of treats and very few tricks at the Tricks and Treats Fall Fest at Cedar Point and Kings Island theme parks in Ohio. Both family-friendly Halloween events will allow guests of all ages to safely enjoy the spookiest time of the year with themed food, activities, entertainment, seasonal merchandise, and of course, trick-or-treating. Plus, rides will be open to deliver plenty of thrills and chills.

As the current global health crisis surrounding the coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to be evaluated, Cedar Fair announced today their parks would be delaying their reopening even further. Although this is happening in the U.S., with possibly more delays on the way, it appears that some theme parks in Asia have started to reopen their doors.
Kings Island has announced that its classic coaster, Vortex, is set to close this fall.
