Theme park and attraction news, rumors and videos.
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.
Kings Island is the second Cedar Fair park to reopen. I went to Worlds of Fun on June 23rd to see their opening, and was excited to see how Kings Island would fair on their opening day, being a much larger park.
Kings Island’s new Giga coaster, Orion, is now open to season passholders as part of the park’s phased reopening.
In an effort to get Kings Island reopened to guests, the park’s parent company Cedar Fair is suing the Ohio Department of Health Director Dr. Amy Acton and the Warren County Health District.
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.
A new roller coaster is joining the lineup at Kings Island in 2020 – Orion, one of only seven giga coasters in the world, a class of roller coasters that have a height or drop of 300-399 feet.
