King's Island MY FIRST TIME! The Beast, Mystic Timbers, Fireworks, Phantom Theater Encore & MORE!
Join me for my first ever visit to Kings Island amusement park in Mason, Ohio! We visit during the park's 50th anniversary celebration and enjoy classic rides like The Beast - the longest roller coaster in the world, The Racer - also celebrating its 50th anniversary, as well as many other iconic, world class rides & attractions including Mystic Timbers, Orion, Diamondback, Flight of Fear, and even adorable rides like the Woodstock Express in Planet Snoopy, and of course the spooky and fun Boo Blasters on Boo Hill (our 3rd version of this ride so far), and rode to the top of the Eiffel Tower! We also got to see the special, limited time only showing of Phantom Theater Encore - an absolutely FABULOUS, hilarious and spookily fun show celebrating the former ride, and ate lots of delicious food using the all day dining plan including the famous blue ice cream! We enjoyed the 50th anniversary parade and closed out the day seeing the 50th anniversary fireworks celebration and I shed a few tears! I hope you enjoy experiencing this day with us as much as we enjoyed it, it was absolutely memorable, wonderful and we just love this park and already can't wait to return! Let me know what your favorite part of our day was and thank you for the encouragement on our summer 2022 road trip so far! There's plenty more to come!
Welcome to Super Enthused! My name is Jackie and I bring you along as we visit fun and unique travel destinations, theme parks and attractions, road trips, resort tours and so much more. I hope you enjoy the videos, thanks for being here! ❤️

We went to Disney to celebrate their 50th anniversary but it doesn't feel like the are celebrating the history of the park. This nighttime show gets you in the feels and celebrates Kings Island history. Another great video. Disney take notes.

Another excellent vlog from you miss Enthused , the best Kings Island vlog I’ve seen our whole family loved watching it with our lunch today 😻
Holy Moley the voices in that live show!! The singers were incredible and the actors sounded so professional! I would have loved that even without having been on the original ride.

There's a video here on youtube that someone took many years ago on the ride!!
Boo Blasters used to be the Phantom of the Opera. The queue in the first big room scared me so bad as a kid that I was bawling and had to be walked back out the entrance! 😂😂😂
Can't beat a live show - such a throwback
THE park I went to a Dozen times as a kid! Still. Great park. It's mind boggling that Disney World and King's Island are celebrating 50 years to as I was there at the beginning and later on too! Love the video and YES, I will hit this park to relive and live anew what was and is there!
You’re in my neighborhood, we live 8 minutes away. I worked there in 1977-78, and played in the Clown Band ! Have a safe and fun trip !

I think so too, Sue, so thank you!!
so happy I went back to find this. Kings Island was my first theme park and for a midwest kid it was like walking Magic Kingdom. The tower with the fountains was so cool. The racers early on was their only coaster. Later was the beast. Still unique to me as it goes through woods and uses the natural landscape. Your analogy to a long train ride is pretty accurate really..even sounds like it at times if my memory serves me. The rest though doesn't ring a bell though as it's changed of course. Looks like the festhause is still there..always good for a beer when I got older. I always was jealous of those who lived close and probably played a role years later in moving to FL. This has me thinking of going up again taking a visit. Thanks as always.
Kings Island gives me big Magic Kingdom vibes! Thanks as always for sharing the fun!

I’m absolutely loving this series! It’s so much fun watching you experience things for the first time and it’s like I am there and not recovering from surgery. You’re definitely helping me get through this! Safe travels! Send my best to Sam!
Phantom Theater was located where Boo Blasters is now. You can see the box above the queue that the Maestro sat in, playing an organ. He’d turn around often to warn guests in line. The cars are the same too, just painted. Fun Fact, just like Haunted Mansion, it had a whole large set using the Pepper’s Ghost effect. It was a stage/theater as opposed to a ballroom. It was where the (slightly terrifying) skeletons are now. In 2003, it became Scooby-Doo and the Haunted Castle. Hence the Castle facade. Layout stayed the same, but all scenery was changed. Boo Blasters only changed out Scooby animatronics for the ghostly characters you see now and is virtually the same exact ride.
Another great video SUPER ENTHUSED love Kings island !
Mystic Timbers is great. It has no trim brakes or mid brake run. Fast and smooth from beginning to end.
Every time I ride The Racer, I always have to take a look to see if Mr. Brady’s lost architectural drawings are sitting in one of those seats. 🤣🤣 Awesome video of an awesome park. Great job Jackie! King’s Island holds so much nostalgia and good feelings for me and so many others. I loved the old Hanna Barbera theming from my childhood days. I gotta admit some of the tributes to those times kinda hit me in the heartstrings. Totally agree that the Phantom Theater show was one of the best ever. We need to lobby King’s Island to bring back that ride and use those same performers as the voice actors! 🙂 Mystic Timbers is one of the best coasters around and The Beast is an absolute legend and one of a kind. Glad that you and Sam enjoyed King’s Island and hope you all come back again soon! 🙂
I’m currently watching this theme park fun while printing documents at work. I would much rather be there 🤣

The first time we went to King's Island, the lines were so low that we got to sit on The Beast and go a couple of times without getting off. Back in the day, when Paramount ran the show, they had a Nickelodeon section with the BEST suspended kiddie coaster called Runaway Reptar. I guess it's still there but themed as something else now.

Thank you so much for this!! I spent the majority of the summers of my adolescence at King's Island. Phantom was still open then and the park was owned by Paramount the last time we went. We moved to FL and haven't been back in 20 yrs. Thanks for bringing me home for 45 wonderful minutes!! ❤❤❤👏👏🏠🎢🎢🎡🎡
The Woodstock coaster used to be called the Scooby Doo back in the 70’s. It was my first roller coaster. So glad you and Sam had a great time.

And Boo Blasters is in the Phantom theater building! That chandelier was there then! Prior to that it was a smurfs wet ride!
I’ve been going to Kings Island since I was little and know it very well. It was really fun to see one of my favorite vlogs experience it for the first time. It’s always been a happy place for me to escape to once a year and you seemed to really capture that special atmosphere that I always feel when I’m there. Thanks for including it in your trip!

Once again you went to a park when I was at that park. It was my first visit to Kings Island and I remember you went to Busch Gardens Williamsburg for Pantheon‘s opening day when I was there. It was storming that night so they did not have the drones out but if you see this show on a clear day they will have the drones out and it’s usually beautiful I got to see it because I had 3 days in the park.
Ok every time I see King’s Island I think of the Brady Bunch 😆😆😆
Thank you Jackie
Y'all's video brought back so many great memories!! I went there when I was in 9th grade. The Screamin' Demon was the first roller coaster I ever rode and now it's no longer there! I fell in love with The Beast and rode it until I got bored (maybe like 12 times lol). Thank you for the memories!!
Jackie, thanks for taking us on your trip. This park looked great. Be safe and have more fun.
Really nice video. Thanks for sharing new and interesting places!

Really been enjoying the last couple of videos. Mainly because you're attending the parks I grew up as a kid....KY Kingdom.... Holiday World....and now Kings Island All three have brought back soooo many memories. Glad you guys have had this trip... keep up the good work 🙂
Just starting and already loving your take on this ! Settling in to watch the whole thing now 😻
How fun!! Such great memories! Hearing the theme song to the Enchanted Voyage brought it all back. The Enchanted Voyage was a ride similar to the Small World ride @ Disney World. A cute little boat ride in the AC but that song.... lol! If my memory serves right, the wooden western town was home to a "train robber" style ride on the train and in its early days had animal exhibits similar to a zoo. My days at KI was in the 70's and you can say that a LOT has changed over the years. Thanks for sharing your visit!
My first time at King's Island was 1979 so I rode the Beast the year it opened. I also remember riding Flight of Fear during the Paramount days when it was themed to the Outer Limits.
You are so close to my home about 40 minutes away. Hope you had a great time! Peace and love
I'm old enough to remember Hanna-Barbera Land there
I know some people think this to be the best park in America, and it’s not hard to see why. They have a stacked lineup of rides, great food, and is just so well run. Also, congrats on riding every giga in America, since Orion and Millennium Force are on the agenda for this road trip.

Enjoyed this very much. The first time I was there was in the early 1970s and the Snoopy area was Hanna Babara area which was good. Not only The Brady Bunch was there but they also filmed an episode of The Partridge Family there too.
What a nice park that is. You are becoming “Queen of the Coasters” 🎢! Love a park train ride…really cute. And those fireworks were amazing. Continued safe & happy travels.

Woodstock Express (previously known as Fairly Odd Coaster, The Beastie, and Scooby-Doo) is a wooden coaster located in the Planet Snoopy section of Kings Island. If not counting its numerous rethemes throughout the years, it is one of the oldest rides in the park, having debuted alongside fellow wooden coaster The Racer, both of which were built and designed by John C. Allen, and his company, Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters. The coaster originally opened as part of Hanna-Barbera Land with a theme to Scooby-Doo, being named after the character and franchise. It has been rethemed three times since opening and remains in operation to this day.

Hi Jackie and Sam! So happy to see you two in my neck of the woods! Of course, I’m very partial to Holiday World, Cedar Point and Kings Island being at all parks multiple times myself. I was a bit bummed that your experience on Diamondback wasn’t your fav. But I have heard that it’s developed a rattle over the years. My family happen to have the best experience on diamond back, it was only a month old when we had our first experience… The guy seating people at that time asked if we had ever written diamondback before and we hadn’t and he said well you need to ride in the back then escorting us all to the back car. It was a night ride. I have never experienced anything like that on any other roller coaster since!! DA BEST!!
Wow this took me back! My family went when I was a teenager and this brought back so many memories! Love it!
I love the red lips and the purple sunglasses 🔥
I love this!! Brings back so many wonderful memories! I worked there during high school!! ❤️❤️
