Be a Kid Again at Kings Island - Kid's Prices for Everyone!

Kings Island announced on Facebook today that for one day only everyone gets to be a kid again. Well, at least as far as the price of tickets to the park goes that is.

That means that everyone can purchase a ticket for the low price of $36.99! However, there is a catch. The tickets have to be ordered online through the Kings Island website and they are only good for Monday, June 30th.

Either way, it's a helluva deal for such a great park and not to mention, getting a chance to ride the world record breaking inverted coaster, Banshee as well as the world's longest wooden coaster, Beast!

So, if you're looking to go and want in on the deal head on over to www.visitkingsisland.com and remember to use the code 1DAYSALE619 in the upper corner of the website. Act fast though, this is a one day sale that starts at Midnight tonight and ends at 11:59pm on Thursday the 19th (that's tomorrow btw).

Feel free to catch our review of the park from last year as well as our review of Banshee right here!

Cedar Point Re-Open after 'Wet' Weekend.

Cedar Point Re-Opens after 'Wet' Weekend.

 It isn't often that I report an amusement park has closed in the middle of the summer season, yet this is exactly what happened to Cedar Point.

 While the park has officially re-opened today (Monday) it was closed over the weekend due to a massive water-main break. However, the blame seems to have been pushed around. Cedar Point hinted that it was the City of Sandusky's fault yet the water-main pipe in question was located under the Cedar Point parking lot. Which is on property owned by Cedar Point.. so wouldn't that be the parks responsibility?  As always, the public will likely only get a small faction of the truth.

 There don't seem to be any answers about the matter of responsibility and ownership but I'd suspect that Cedar Point will likely be spending this coming off-season doing some serious infrastructure upgrades. Generally the rule is when one sections of a  water-main breaks, it's simply a matter of time until more sections begin to fail.  Perhaps other parks will take this sudden weekend closure of Cedar Point to heart and pay attention to their own power/water supplies.

**On the Good Side...**
  Cedar Point is offering a Discount Ticket to make up for the closed weekend issue. Giving you $20 off your ticket until this Sunday and one Free Admission to Soak City until September 1st.

Seaworld Orlando- Double Update!

 Double Dose of News from Seaworld Orlando

 Good news for vistiors to Seaworld Orlando, for the next 50 days the famous Orlando theme park will offer "$50 Weekday Tickets" as well as "Two Parks for $99" to guests.

 Allowing guests to visit for a discounted price during the week, the park is actively countering other theme parks higher prices. The $50 weekday ticket is open to US residents and is only available online but only until May 5th. The $99 two-park ticket allows guests to visit both Seaworld Orlando and Aquatica for one day each- this deal is only available until March 31st. 

 The second dose of news is for the special event- Bands, Brews and BBQ!

 Seaworld Orlando has fully announced this weekend's line-up of artists which are playing the weekend event. I've got to admit, we really should thank the "activist" types because this new line-up for Bands, Brews and BBQ is truly superior to the original list Seaworld had!

Saturday March 1st- Scotty McCreery
Sunday March 2nd- Steve Miller Band 

 Also on the news of "Bands, Brews and BBQ" we've found out some new and interesting details. Behind the Thrills ran a little press news piece from Bruce Hall of REO Speedwagon who recently visited Seaworld Orlando. Not only did he enjoy his day at the park but he clearly stated he didn't want to cancel the special event the band was scheduled to play.

 This well written piece goes into detail about how the bands who did play had done their research and flaunted the armchair activist types who can copy-paste a petition online. More proof that people do believe in the good acts Seaworld Parks do.
