After reading the Enquirer’s comparison of Kings Island to Cedar Point, I thank God I grew up with Coney Island, LeSourdsville, and the early days of Kings Island. Thirty dollars to park, Fast Lane prices to bypass those waiting to get on a ride, overpriced food – no wonder kids fight in the parking lots.
Once again, corporate America has ruined a family outing for all and has priced inner-city kids and regular middle-class people out of the park. After reading this, it’s clear that Kings Island played a significant role in the demise of the Coney Island amusement park, pool, and water park. You do know that charging $1,000 on your credit card for Kings Island still has to be paid?
Most kids today will never know our childhood joy on these kinds of outings. Hopefully, the Cincinnati Zoo stays affordable. That would really be a shame.
