Kings Island month is at the halfway point but never fear, this episode not only focuses on this amazing amusement park but it's sister park up the road.  Yep, today we are comparing and contrasting Kings Island with Cedar Point.

We are judging them on ten categories which include : Staff, Flat Rides, Waterparks, Food, Kid's Sections, Park Layout, Cleanliness,  Embracing their History, Ambience, and of course their Roller Coasters.

What are your thoughts?  Did we get something wrong?  Let us know in the comments section and which of these two parks do you love the most.

Happy New Years!!

We are kicking off 2022 with our first Q episode which discusses what we did the past month and what we are planning on doing the following month.  We are also adding a new feature to our Q episodes with us answering some listener questions throughout the episode. 

Some highlights include :

Discussing the Christmas Candylane event at Hersheypark (and our new YouTube channel where we have some footage of their new Treeville section.

How can we afford to visit all these parks every year (we focus on meal plans, season passes, memberships, and even discuss hotels for Six Flags, Cedar Fair, SeaWorld and some smaller parks).

Why do we never discuss shows when we talk about the parks?

What are our plans for this spring?

We always love our Q episodes and if you have any questions for us, don't forget to get social.

Every Cedar Fair park has a Panda Express, where can we find it at Kings Island?

Do they have any extreme flat rides?

Rejoice!!  It is King's Island Month.

That's right, for the next four episodes we are focusing on this amazing park outside of Cincinnati and we always kick off our park discussions with the roller coasters.  This park has one of the best lineups in the country and it also worked out perfectly that one of these coaster would be our 100th coaster credit (hence the title of the episode).  So of the topics we will go over in this episode includes:

Is Orion a giga coaster?

How are the restraints on Banshee?

Is the Beast night ride really as good as they say?

and which coaster surprised us the most with how amazing it was?

Yep, this is a longer episode but that is because every coaster at this park deserved a through review.  This is also our last episode before Christmas so we are hoping everyone has an amazing holiday season with friends and family.

This ERT takes us into a new direction.  We love amusement parks, we live for roller coasters, but was also enjoy a good log flume especially on a nice hot day.  In our travels we have gotten to ride 20 of these great rides and today we are giving them all the love they deserve.

We are not only discussing the flumes we have ridden but also the ten we have our sites on for 2022.  So hang on to your hats (no seriously, we lost a few over the years) and enjoy this special episode.

Flumes we are discussing include : Coal Cracker - Hersheypark, Splash Mountain - Magic Kingdom, Giant Flume - Knoebels, Zoom Phloom - Morey's Piers, Frozen Ever After - Epcot, Log Flume at Playland @ Rye, Seabreeze, Six Flags St. Louis, and Hunts Pier, Stanley Falls at Busch Gardens Tampa, Saw Mill Log Flume - Six Flags Great Adventure, and Thunder Creek Mountain at Dorney Park along with ten others.

Our second part of our Kentucky Kingdom adventure goes through a walk-through of this amazing little park focusing on the flats, food, and their fantastic water park, Hurricane Bay.

Yes, looking at their map, this park can be a bit confusing (we got pretty lost the first time) but hopefully after this episode, you can find the kiddie section (King Louie's Playland), figure out how to get on Kentucky Flyer, and of course sit down with your favorite drink and unwind (we recommend the Hurricane Bay Beach Club Bar).

Kentucky Kingdom is just a great place to enjoy and now that it is part of the Dollywood / Silver Dollar City family, we know the future is bright.  Highly on our list to visit again in 2022.

Our journey continues as we leave Cedar Point behind and head to Kings Island, however, we get slightly sidetracked when we realize how close we are to Kentucky Kingdom (and our first RMC).  Join us on this episode as we discuss this little park with some BIG coasters.  Some of the questions we answer include :

How the heck do we get into the park?

Why are there so many airplanes overhead?

What happened to T1?  Will we get a T4?

Why is every roller coaster named after a weather event?

Yes, Kentucky Kingdom has some unique aspects to it but we love this park and can't wait to dive into our two episode discussion about this little gem.

You voted and we listened.  Earlier this week we gave our listeners the choice of what you wanted for the subject of this ERT and by an overwhelming margin, you guys wanted to know what was new in 2022 for the parks.

After a lot of research (okay, we googled for about two hours) do we have a list for you.

What is Dorney Park doing new this year?  How about Kings Island?  Is Hersheypark opening a new ride?  Why are they painting Bizarro at Six Flags Great Adventure? 

Find out the answers to that and so much more.  Of course we are only focusing on the US for this podcast (heck, you think they will let us go to Europe or China?) but you will be surprised by all the new shows, attractions, and more coming in 22.

Other Highlights in this episode include:

Top Ten rankings of the coasters at Cedar Point by Paul & Janine
