    That's so awesome that you have been to King's Island many times. Brent visited the park quite a bit back in the 80s and 90s but he has gotten used to the south and things it's too cold too. We are not used to weather this cold. You are so fortunate to live in the Sunshine State. Thanks so much for watching, Linda.

    Thank you so much, Teresa! We have been trying to go to this event for years and something has always prevented us from going. Brent went in the 80s and 90s and have told us stories about it, so we're glad that we could finally all experience it. If you're ever in the area, you should definitely check it out. The amount of lights and detail was very impressive. We hope that you have a Merry Christmas!

    Out of the countless times I have been there being from Indiana I've never seen it at Christmas. Never been to the top of the tower either lol. Heck I'm so old I remember when it was filled with characters from Hanna-Barbera cartoons! I remember the summer The Beast opened.....it scared me to death and I couldn't wait to get back on and ride it again. Many years later I took my own son there and his first coaster was The Racer. It scared him at first but then I made him ride again~backwards this time. I know it sounds bad but he loved it and to this day loves coasters! Decades later when I finally made it to Disney World it felt like a let down. I liked Kings Island sooo much better! Thanks for this guys....I so wanna take my granddaughter in a couple years for Christmas! Wow! So magical!

    We really enjoyed visiting here for Christmas. I (Brent) remember the Hanna-Barbera cartoons as well. The Flinstones and do you remember that the old Boo Blaster used to be a Smurfs ride. There was also a safari tram in the earlier part of the 80s that I remember. Yes!! - The Beast is such a classic and we miss the Vortex. We're so glad to hear that your son ended up loving roller coasters after riding on The Racer. That's too funny - we have said that same thing about Disney. Their rides are little league compared to the ones at KI. We hope that you and your granddaughter have an amazing time when you visit King's Island during Christmas. We didn't get to film everything since we had to cut the night short, but hey had a lot of shows, ice sculpting, and special slides for Winterfest that we didn't get to see. Y'all will have a blast visiting. Have a great evening, Candace!

It's been a great week so far and we hope that you're having a great start to your week as well. Thanks so much for commenting and watching, Cathy! We appreciate you.

    We went to Winterfest recently at the sister park to King's Island - King's Dominion in Virginia. So we were very interested in seeing what it was like in Ohio. The events were similar, of course. But not the same. Unfortunately, Kings Dominion did not have a parade or a train ride. Those looked like really cool experiences for your family to enjoy. The Christmas lights are beautiful. Thanks for sharing this event with us!

    Thank you, Michelle! Their light show is so impressive and the Eiffel tower just adds a perfect touch to the fun. It was sad to see the Buckeyes lose to Michigan but hopefully they'll redeem themselves next season. We always appreciate your kind comments and really appreciate you. Gentry said thank you and he is feeling much better now. We wanted to do the ice skating but the lines were way too long when we went and the park was only open from 5-10 on opening night. Merry Christmas to you and Ed!

    Thank you, Maverick! We asked ourselves the same question about the lights. hey had so many lights, I wouldn't be surprised if astronauts were viewing them from the International Space Station. They only had 1 coaster open (Mystic Timbers) but we're not accustomed to the cold weather in the midwest, so we steered clear of the coaster. All of the other ones were shut down for the season. Merry Christmas to you and Kelly!
