Cedar Fair Parks Tour: King’s Island
Of the three parks designed on the same model -- King’s Dominion, Canada’s Wonderland, King’s Island – King’s Island probably has the best balance from entry to roaming.

Cedar Fair Parks Tour: Michigan’s Adventure
Michigan’s Adventure was perhaps the nicest park, as a total package, to be able to go to and enjoy in one day.

A Blast of the Past #97: Kings Island

And we took a tour that summer, meeting my family along the way, but hitting many of the parks. The first of which was Kings Island.
