We were in the car dropping some friends off, but on the way, we passed Kings Island. And guess what? Rides were operating! I saw Drop Zone, the Delirium, and The Face Off running. But the park was supposed to be closed today!? So we looked at the sign and it said that the park was open today from 2-6PM. Then it also said Toyota which is a car company..., so is KI open to the public today?

It's Toyota day, private event! -Hauntguy

As Haunt Guy mentioned, today is a private event at the park. The park will, however, be open to the general public and season pass holders tomorrow from 10am until 8pm.

What is a private event and how do you get into one?

If you work for Toyota.

Yes. The private events usually occur in September. It is when large companies (in September it is GE, P&G and Toyota) rent out the park for their employees and their families. Only employees and their families can get tickets to the park for these days.

Or people who shop on Ebay!

OMG, our family knows these people who work at P&G and we are friends. Could I ask them to take me to KI on the private event day? I have to go!

Not till next year, all the private events are now over for the 2007 season. The park is open today to the public from 10am till 8pm. And every Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday, plus daily from October 26th thru October 31st.
