Kings Island Information and News
KICentral Adds Howl-O-Fest Photos, Diamondback Construction, Halloween Haunt & More!
It's finally October which means that the days are getting shorter, the nights are getting longer... and it's Halloween time at Kings Island!
Halloween Haunt has made its return to Kings Island and is bigger and badder than ever. One of the most anticipated haunts at Kings Island is the all new Urgent Scare, which is a 3,666sq ft maze themed to a small town which is infected with a virus that seems to be taking over the peoples' minds. The only way you can get out alive is to drink your Magnum energy drink and make your way through the town's hospital... a hospital that no one would ever want to visit! For more information about Halloween Haunt, click here.
If you want to bring your kids to the park for some family-friend Halloween fun, make sure to check out the all new Howl-O-Fest! Howl-O-Fest is an amazing new Halloween celebration that is custom tailored to the kids. Don't worry -- there may be monsters at Howl-O-Fest, but they're not scary... they just want to join in on the fun! Howl-O-Fest is held on Saturdays and Sundays from 12pm to 5pm in the picnic grove near Nickelodeon Universe. It's FREE with park admission. Click here to see photos and for more information about Howl-O-Fest!
Standing 230' tall, Diamondback is going to be a hit among enthusiasts at Kings Island when it debuts in April of 2009! This steel monster will feature 10 vertical drops and an amazing new open air stadium seating system for the trains that makes everyone feel like they're in the front row! To follow the construction of Diamondback, check out the Diamondback Construction Thread.
