I’m sharing ideas to help inspire you to think out of the box. You can customize your Kings Island Themed adventure based on your time for planning and your creative comfort level.

These ideas can be used for a themed Kings Island birthday party or get together.

Watch Kings Island Themed Episodes or YouTube Clips

Did you know that Kings Island was featured on two popular television shows in the 70s?

The Partridge Family visited Kings Island in 1972 on the “I Left My Heart in Cincinnati” episode and The Brady Bunch in 1973 on the “The Cincinnati Kids” episode.

The Kings Island parking lot was also the site of Evel Knievel’s successful record-breaking jump over 14 Greyhound buses in 1975.
