We all remember the good ole days when a young gent or gal could spark up a black and mild or rip the ole geek bar in the park, before that beautiful privilege was taken away from us.

My favorite smoking area was back by WindSeeker, it was peaceful, would watch the ride go up, and down, and up, and down, repeat.

Though the X-Base one does hold a special place in my heart, sometime I would chain smoke and feel like a character out of a sci-fi movie, stressed from these GOV nda’s ruining my life, but feeling a brief moment of freedom when I would light up a marb red.

What was your favorite smoking area at Kings Island? 

Tower Gardens.

”Come crush a few menthol-laced heaters near a framed, yet faded, poster for ‘Mission: Impossible II.’ Don’t go down by the stagnant pond, though. Yeah, the one that’s gated off and where the car from Wayne’s World was once parked?”

Topic of the year award already claimed early into 2025, by the way.

Just for clarification is this topic only for civilian smoking areas or also the ones used by the folks serving?

The old beer garden patio was nice for a smoke.

This is only for civs, though if some associates want to talk about smoking behind the scenes and their favorite spots go ahead, just clarify for us normies.

Imagine lighting one of these up on the second lift of The Beast.

It's hard to narrow one down, but I think my favorite smoking area has to be Flight of Fear on June 3 and 14, 2014.

The one by the Larossa's in Rivertown was the one used most often by my wife.  I'll pick it. 

Outside the gate preferably in the car of the smoker. With the windows rolled up. Goes for Vaping, Joints. I always thought the one right next to the kids area was entertaining though. 

Outside of the park. I highly dislike when people just light up in the middle of the park. Shouldn’t be smoking anywhere in the park there is a smoking area for a reason.
