How to Create a Kings Island Themed Adventure at Home

This adventure is for fans of Kings Island who want to enjoy a fun themed adventure inspired by the amusement park from the comfort of your home.

I’m a Kings Island Ambassador which means that I share my love for the park and enjoy perks and behind the scenes access.

I love any excuse for a theme. I’ve been visiting/ a season pass holder of Kings Island Amusement Park in Cincinnati ever since I was a kid. As an adult, it’s fun to create new memories with my family.

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.

I think that it always feels like a movie when you hear the music on International Street as you are leaving after a great day at the park.

The seven Kings Island themed playlists include:

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.
