King's Island

July 3 - 5

For Independence Day Weekend, Jon and I headed down to his place in Cincinnati for a day of roller coastering at Paramount's King's Island park. There are some monstrously cool rides at this place, from the unbelievably intense indoor coaster Flight of Fear to the beat-you-to-a-pulp joltiness of The Beast. There were also some less typical types of thrill rides at KI, such as Delirium (you'll soon see that it deserves the name).
