We took full advantage of the water so that we didn't become dehydrated. The park was great at giving out small cups of water at all the snack locations. The only purchase we made in the park was ice cream. We took our own lunch and snacks in our car and went out to the car when we were hungry. It was nice to be able to cool off, but if it wasn't included in admission I wouldn't have bothered to pay extra. The only chairs we could find were in the little kids section. The water park was large and very spread out. The wave pool and the river were really crowded and the waits for several of the water slides was about 45 minutes. The amusement park wasn't crowded, but with the 94 degree temperatures the water park was packed. Needless to say, some people were really upset. You just fill out a lost form and they will call you after the park closes if they find it. Every time we went on the FireHawk someone would get off having lost a cell phone, car keys or driver's license. When they say take everything out of your pockets - TRUST THEM. We went on each many, many times over the 2 days. Our favorite rides were the Diamondback roller coaster and the FireHawk. They have several rides that Cedar Point boasts about, but we found them equally good at Kings Island and with out the wait. The longest wait we had was 30 minutes for a roller coaster. The lines weren't too bad, though we are regular attendees of Cedar Point where the lines average an hour to two hours per roller coaster. We spent the morning and early afternoon on the roller coasters and other rides and then cooled off at the water park. Our tickets included admission to the amusement park and the water park. The cost was basically buy a day, get one free. It was a great little campground with a pool (that we never enjoyed because we spent most of our day at the park.) We took advantage of the 2-day discount ticket prices we found on the Kings Island website.
It was a 10 minute drive to Kings Island. We drove our RV from near Cleveland, Ohio to Lebanon, Ohio where we stayed at Cedarbrook Campground. Our family of 5 took a 2 day trip to Kings Island the first week in August 2010. Overall the kids had fun but some only got to ride 2 rides due to the lines.
They do have a fast pass for the haunted houses but we learned you can only use it once for each attraction. I would recommend getting the fast pass if you can swing it for the rides. They do sell a fast pass ticket in addition to the regular admission ticket which is as low as $30.00 if you buy 5 or more.
We got into a fair amount of haunted houses, and were really impressed with them. By the end of the night there was at least a 3 hour wait for the more popular rides. The complaint I do have is with the crowds.HUGE. The kids enjoyed the meal, but I was disappointed in it. The meal was at a designated time, and includes bbq pork, chicken fingers and hot dogs. We bought the haunt feast tickets which included an all you can eat meal. After saying last year we would never do it again! We took a group of 16 kids/teens and there were 6 adults. So we tackled the Halloween haunt at Kings island for the second year in a row.
