A theme park near Cincinati Ohio. It has changed owners a few times, including Paramounts and currently Cedar Fair. This changing of ownership has caused the "kiddie-land" type area to change in theme several times, including a Nikelodean theme, and a Snoopy theme. The original name of perhaps the most famous coaster in "kiddie-land" was the Beastie, which was intended to be a smaller version of the Beast, but has changed names under different ownerships. Kings Island's most famous coasters include The Beast, and Son of the Beast, which both usually have considerably long lines. Kings Island has its own water park, Boomerang Bay, which has changed its name a few times also with different ownerships, and is free admission with admission to Kings Island. (Unlike its cheep ass couzin, Cedar Point, who has you pay extra admission for use of its water park)
