Inside sources have confirmed that Don is no longer the Public Relations Area Manager at Kings Island.

I want to be one of the first to congratulate Don on 10 years as the PR person at Kings Island. Career highlights include amazing world wide coverage of Robbie Knievel's record breaking jump at the park in 2008 and nation wide coverage of Mystic Timbers during its opening. I wish Don well on his future endeavors.

Sources say that you will still see him around the park, though. He will be making sure you to still wish you a #KIBestDay.

"If Don does half as good of a job on the mobile app as he did in PR then we're all in for a real treat."

-Clark W Griswold

Aww man! No!!!

Now that he is Area Manager of Digital Marketing, the first thing he can do is update the website

Congratulations to Don.  Now KI is going to have a new PR guy or gal here soon! 

I am not certain of the exact date but Don's 10 year anniversary as the head of PR for the park was about a month ago.

 

Any word of who is replacing him?

Like the park peeps change to next chapter 

Congrats @DonHelbig

I'm really sorry to hear about this. Few times have I known someone to embody a role quite as well as Don Helbig has done as the public face of Kings Island. Whoever will be the new PR Manager is going to have some big shoes to fill. 

I am glad to hear he won't be leaving the organization entirely. 

Best wishes in your new position, Don!

 

I'm happy for Don and agree that whoever replaces him has some big shoes to fill.  If there was someone who was born for that role it was Don.

I also would like to congratulate Sara Mills on her promotion to Manager, Consumer Demand!

Congrats @DonHelbig!
