Finish the sentence, "I love Kings Island because..." and tell me why you love Kings Island!

My first childhood memory.  The Beast.  Cirque shows.  The Chicken Shack.  

Because coasters....

Because of memories....

Because of fountains...

Because of the future...

I love Kings Island because of the ambience of walking into International Street and hearing timeless instrumental music and movie themes.

Oh, wait...

I love Kings Island for a lot of reasons; shall I name them?

-Cirque

-The Bat

-(most of) the shows

-nostalgia (like seriously, when I think about/look the park's old 90's website, it makes me want to go back there again*)

-older (as in, pre-2001) rides like Drop Zone (yes, I said it lol), Beast, Flight of Fear, Adventure Express and Vortex (and of course The Bat, fka Top Gun)

-Firehawk and our other unique coasters (like seriously, we have one of only three Vekoma Flying Dutchman models from the early 2000s!!!)

-Soak City, especially the fact that you can enjoy the old (the slides formally known as Bonsai Pipeline, Sidewinder, Helix and Rushing River + Breakers) along with the new (Tropical Plunge)- heck, only one slide complex has gone down since it's opening.

-The fun of being an associate there (and in a way, giving back) for 10 seasons!

-Lest I forget Haunt and its crazy cast of characters like Big Daddy, Evil Santa, Thumbs and of course, Sam the Butcher!

EDIT: Forgot about the food such as Tom + Chee, Chicken Shack's bread, Auntie Anne's Pretzels, LaRosas's Pizza and Starbucks

...and there's probably a lot more reasons, but those are all I could think of at the moment.

*Also, side-note, I think it would be really cool if the park (or more likely, another enthusiast) could recreate this site (URL: https://web.archive.org/web/19970129110334/http://www.pki.com:80/ ), but updated to reflect modern KI such as Banshee, Soak City, Diamondback and Mystic Timbers

I love Kings Island because...

taking my children there now creating memories

I love Kings Island b/c...

Memories from my childhood.

Making new memories with my children during the past 2 year with our Gold Passes!

I love Kings Island because its not like any other theme park out there. It has such a storied influential past that is also unlike any other theme park. Also Kings Island is beautiful and has a great selection of rides

I love Kings Island because...

It's my happy place.  I can go there where I feel down and it perks me right up.

Happy memories of family and friends.

Thrills and chills - from coasters to Xtreme Skyflyer!

I love the smells. I know this one is weird - the pizza, the ice cream, the sunscreen, the water rides.

It's my home park!

Other reasons I can't explain, but I love all things KI!
