SynopsisIn 1972, one of America's favorite playgrounds opened with great fanfare. Inspired by the post-Disneyland theme park boom, operators of a small amusement enterprise near Cincinnati realized they needed to go bigger-or go home. They chose big, and so they proceeded to design and build a magnificent property in conjunction with Taft Broadcasting, owners of the popular Hanna-Barbera characters. The complete story of Kings Island has never been told before now. Learn how the park came about, how it transformed over the years, and enjoy the stories behind your favorite attractions. But don't just read about it-hear it directly from park officials who served throughout Kings Island's history, including the man who started the whole thing from the beginning-Gary Wachs. Kings Island: A Ride Through Time pays tribute to a grand park that millions of guests have fallen in love with for half a century., In 1972, one of America's most beloved theme parks swung open its gates for the first time. Kings Island was the latest in the post-Disneyland boom, and it was big, beautiful, and instantly successful. Who could forget their first sight of the magnificent Eiffel Tower after passing through the turnstiles? Or the colorful flags flying proudly over the Royal Fountain? Now nearly fifty years later, the park is as amazing and grand as ever. Read the story behind this magical playground and how it has changed over time. Filled with personal recollections of park officials who were there, Kings Island: A Ride Through Time offers a first-hand account that is as fascinating as the attractions we've loved all our lives.
