On Sunday, Sept. 5th, Karen, Todd, Emma and I went to Kings Island Amusement Park. Emma was the perfect age for a first visit...at 3'2", she was just tall enough for many of the rides, but she got free admission! Us Central Ohioans always have the great dilemma...head north to Cedar Point, or south to Kings Island? As a roller coaster rider, I generally prefer Cedar Point, but I'd heard such good things about the kiddie rides at Kings Island (previously Nickelodeon-themed, now called "Planet Snoopy"), that we decided to check it out and were very impressed! Emma rode almost every ride she was allowed to, with Todd and I riding with her for the rides stating "those over 60 inches must be accompanied by a child"! The highlight, though, was when Emma and I rode "The Great Pumpkin Coaster"! A cut above the ones you see at carnivals, this kiddie coaster actually had a first hill drop and a few stomach-turning hills, but Emma LAUGHED all through the ride, the little daredevil! We enjoyed the water park, too, which also had several areas designed just for young kids. We finished off our evening with a Snoopy light show (complete with LED lights on the Pseudo-Eiffel Tower) and fireworks!
