King's Island MY FIRST TIME! The Beast, Mystic Timbers, Fireworks, Phantom Theater Encore & MORE!

Join me for my first ever visit to Kings Island amusement park in Mason, Ohio! We visit during the park's 50th anniversary celebration and enjoy classic rides like The Beast - the longest roller coaster in the world, The Racer - also celebrating its 50th anniversary, as well as many other iconic, world class rides & attractions including Mystic Timbers, Orion, Diamondback, Flight of Fear, and even adorable rides like the Woodstock Express in Planet Snoopy, and of course the spooky and fun Boo Blasters on Boo Hill (our 3rd version of this ride so far), and rode to the top of the Eiffel Tower! We also got to see the special, limited time only showing of Phantom Theater Encore - an absolutely FABULOUS, hilarious and spookily fun show celebrating the former ride, and ate lots of delicious food using the all day dining plan including the famous blue ice cream! We enjoyed the 50th anniversary parade and closed out the day seeing the 50th anniversary fireworks celebration and I shed a few tears! I hope you enjoy experiencing this day with us as much as we enjoyed it, it was absolutely memorable, wonderful and we just love this park and already can't wait to return! Let me know what your favorite part of our day was and thank you for the encouragement on our summer 2022 road trip so far! There's plenty more to come!
Welcome to Super Enthused! My name is Jackie and I bring you along as we visit fun and unique travel destinations, theme parks and attractions, road trips, resort tours and so much more. I hope you enjoy the videos, thanks for being here! ❤️

MY FIRST TIME AT KINGS ISLAND - hope you all enjoy experiencing it with us! 💙💙💙

[@ChinaDollTravels]

I loved it

[@WickedlyMe328]

I loved what you said about The Beast! Just too bad my first loop coaster is no longer there, The Vortex.

[@calebmills2345]

My home park! So glad you went!

[@andreathompson1441]

I love KIngs Island and the blue ice cream (I’ll always call it Smurf ice cream since that’s what it was called there in the 80’s. PS they had the best Smurf boat dark ride back then too! 💙)

[@Ninjjulie]

My favorite Cedar Fair park! Love The Beast and that blue ice cream is amazing. ❤️

[@KingsIslandPR]

Thanks for coming!

[@SuperEnthused]

We had the best day!! 💙💛💙💛

[@JohnKelly2]

If a show based on an extinct dark ride can make people who have never seen the dark ride fall in love with the ride, it's a damn good show!

[@SuperEnthused]

Agree!

[@shaunjex]

I know I'm leaving this comment super late, but watching this one was really special. My wife went here all the time as a teenager so we watched this last night and she shared all her memories of the park. Thanks!

[@DarvonBrown]

King's Island is really underrated and I am so glad you were able to experience it. I have a feeling Cedar Point is coming up and I am so excited. You are the best Jackie! 😃

We went to Disney to celebrate their 50th anniversary but it doesn't feel like the are celebrating the history of the park. This nighttime show gets you in the feels and celebrates Kings Island history. Another great video. Disney take notes.

[@SuperEnthused]

Everything about this really felt like a celebration of the park and its history, so well done!

[@peggynewton3904]

Don't know if anyone else would remember but there was a time with the Racer that one of the cars went backwards and THAT was an experience!!

[@wave17019]

Yes, remember the backwards racer. It was such a unique experience trying to hang on

[@sherrismith9002]

I remember. ❤️

Reminds me of my FAVORITE literature line - 'MEN SHALL LOVE ME AND DESPAIR'

[@EpcotCenter1982]

I LOVED that Brady Bunch episode and think of it every time I see videos of Kings Island

[@EpcotCenter1982]

Holy Moley the voices in that live show!! The singers were incredible and the actors sounded so professional! I would have loved that even without having been on the original ride.

[@vandy0419]

Sometimes there is also a male and female doing aerial work during the show.

There's a video here on youtube that someone took many years ago on the ride!!

THANK YOU for including so much of the Phantom theatre show for those of us who will never get to see it, we could feel your love for it through our tv and it was all smiles here in this household ! Another excellent vlog from you miss Enthused , the best Kings Island vlog I’ve seen our whole family loved watching it with our lunch today 😻

[@zakkgilbert9426]

Boo Blasters used to be the Phantom of the Opera. The queue in the first big room scared me so bad as a kid that I was bawling and had to be walked back out the entrance! 😂😂😂

[@greggseiter1412]

You’re in my neighborhood, we live 8 minutes away. I worked there in 1977-78, and played in the Clown Band ! Have a safe and fun trip !

[@suerodriguez1226]

Good you loved King Island. best Video of your trip besides the Holiday World one Jackie.

[@SuperEnthused]

I think so too, Sue, so thank you!!

[@patrickfairchild2330]

Can't beat a live show - such a throwback

[@dennisud]

THE park I went to a Dozen times as a kid! Still. Great park. It's mind boggling that Disney World and King's Island are celebrating 50 years to as I was there at the beginning and later on too! Love the video and YES, I will hit this park to relive and live anew what was and is there!

[@roxannesimpson5736]

Loved it!!! So enjoying your adventures!! It is so fun to see all these different places!

[@MoviemaniaNick]

King's Island looks like so much fun! Thanks for showing this Jackie.

[@kmstrs0103]

I am so happy you went to King's Island!! I grew up going there with my family, we would go every summer the last weekend before school started. Watching your video brought back so many wonderful memories. The Beast and the Racers are two of my absolute favorite wooden roller coasters. Thank you, thank you!! Loved your video!

[@patrickfairchild2330]

GREAT Snoopy hat

[@jeffrichardson2601]

This was the park I grew up going to with my family and friends. I even worked there for a summer when I was in high school - my first real job! So many great memories. Thank you for going to KI and sharing your experience!

[@Kilbaneisking]

Mystic Timbers is my favorite coaster in the park as well! It's just an amazing wooden coaster. So fast and so smooth. They don't get much better than that one.

[@jamieadisneyfan8317]

Looks like a great place for fun.

[@NessieMay]

Love the show, so fun! 🤩

[@Sunny_storm_lover]

Y'all's video brought back so many great memories!! I went there when I was in 9th grade. The Screamin' Demon was the first roller coaster I ever rode and now it's no longer there! I fell in love with The Beast and rode it until I got bored (maybe like 12 times lol). Thank you for the memories!!

[@RamblingVlogger]

I’m absolutely loving this series! It’s so much fun watching you experience things for the first time and it’s like I am there and not recovering from surgery. You’re definitely helping me get through this! Safe travels! Send my best to Sam!

[@Sportyfamilia]

Night time show was pretty cool 🥰 keep me enjoying! Can’t wait to see what other awesome experience you’ll show us! 💙💖

[@MrKillerRC]

Mystic Timbers is great. It has no trim brakes or mid brake run. Fast and smooth from beginning to end.

[@ThemeParksAndAttractions]

Another great video SUPER ENTHUSED love Kings island !

[@thomaskylecreative]

So glad y'all could make it out!

[@sarahebeth82]

Thank you so much for this!! I spent the majority of the summers of my adolescence at King's Island. Phantom was still open then and the park was owned by Paramount the last time we went. We moved to FL and haven't been back in 20 yrs. Thanks for bringing me home for 45 wonderful minutes!! ❤❤❤👏👏🏠🎢🎢🎡🎡

[@PlumCrazyAdventures]

Fantastic video Jackie, I love hearing your thoughts on all of these amazing parks and the rides in them, and I love that Sam is telling us what he thinks too! Have an amazing rest of your road trip!

[@MicheleKlinger]

I’m currently watching this theme park fun while printing documents at work. I would much rather be there 🤣

[@SuperEnthused]

I feel ya!

[@christinenapoli5106]

What a nice park that is. You are becoming “Queen of the Coasters” 🎢! Love a park train ride…really cute. And those fireworks were amazing. Continued safe & happy travels.

Every evening spectacular are so different and so cool! Glad we can travel along with you two! Thanks !

Just starting and already loving your take on this ! Settling in to watch the whole thing now 😻

[@techmeout1362]

Video was so much fun. Looks like a really cool park. Loved the Charlie Brown music. Awesome fireworks and lights display.

[@DiscoLiz]

So jealous of The Beast! I remember watching all the rollercoaster shows on Discovery/Travel back in the day, and that one was always featured. On my bucket list for sure! Dang, that lunch looked amazing! I've been on a version of Boo Blasters at Elitch Gardens in Denver. It was so cute!

[@mandapleazee]

So fun !! I also love that they have a sensory inclusive show. I have a nephew who has autism and it makes me so happy to see so many places doing their part to include people in all parts of the spectrum 💙

[@ChilliTink]

Kings Island was the park I grew up in! It has always been an amazing park! I'm so glad you enjoyed it and will be back. The Beast at night is even more incredible! Love all of you and Sam's videos!! You guys are amazing!!

[@JoshtheGoAnimater]

Really been enjoying the last couple of videos. Mainly because you're attending the parks I grew up as a kid....KY Kingdom.... Holiday World....and now Kings Island All three have brought back soooo many memories. Glad you guys have had this trip... keep up the good work 🙂

[@lesa173]

Hi Jackie and Sam! So happy to see you two in my neck of the woods! Of course, I’m very partial to Holiday World, Cedar Point and Kings Island being at all parks multiple times myself. I was a bit bummed that your experience on Diamondback wasn’t your fav. But I have heard that it’s developed a rattle over the years. My family happen to have the best experience on diamond back, it was only a month old when we had our first experience… The guy seating people at that time asked if we had ever written diamondback before and we hadn’t and he said well you need to ride in the back then escorting us all to the back car. It was a night ride. I have never experienced anything like that on any other roller coaster since!! DA BEST!!

[@angelakosar1003]

Kings Island gives me big Magic Kingdom vibes! Thanks as always for sharing the fun!

[@SuperEnthused]

Totally top tier!

[@jeffrivers4735]

Enjoyed this very much. The first time I was there was in the early 1970s and the Snoopy area was Hanna Babara area which was good. Not only The Brady Bunch was there but they also filmed an episode of The Partridge Family there too.

[@travisnoffsinger1703]

Every time I ride The Racer, I always have to take a look to see if Mr. Brady’s lost architectural drawings are sitting in one of those seats. 🤣🤣 Awesome video of an awesome park. Great job Jackie! King’s Island holds so much nostalgia and good feelings for me and so many others. I loved the old Hanna Barbera theming from my childhood days. I gotta admit some of the tributes to those times kinda hit me in the heartstrings. Totally agree that the Phantom Theater show was one of the best ever. We need to lobby King’s Island to bring back that ride and use those same performers as the voice actors! 🙂 Mystic Timbers is one of the best coasters around and The Beast is an absolute legend and one of a kind. Glad that you and Sam enjoyed King’s Island and hope you all come back again soon! 🙂

[@annettebarberio8127]

Wow this took me back! My family went when I was a teenager and this brought back so many memories! Love it!

[@karenjarrell5978]

How fun!! Such great memories! Hearing the theme song to the Enchanted Voyage brought it all back. The Enchanted Voyage was a ride similar to the Small World ride @ Disney World. A cute little boat ride in the AC but that song.... lol! If my memory serves right, the wooden western town was home to a "train robber" style ride on the train and in its early days had animal exhibits similar to a zoo. My days at KI was in the 70's and you can say that a LOT has changed over the years. Thanks for sharing your visit!

Awesome!

my family went here almost every year-and cedar point is right around the corner-- and always remembered the Italian ices, so have fun and see you on the next vlog......stay enthused..

[@tlh2188]

Phantom Theater was located where Boo Blasters is now. You can see the box above the queue that the Maestro sat in, playing an organ. He’d turn around often to warn guests in line. The cars are the same too, just painted. Fun Fact, just like Haunted Mansion, it had a whole large set using the Pepper’s Ghost effect. It was a stage/theater as opposed to a ballroom. It was where the (slightly terrifying) skeletons are now. In 2003, it became Scooby-Doo and the Haunted Castle. Hence the Castle facade. Layout stayed the same, but all scenery was changed. Boo Blasters only changed out Scooby animatronics for the ghostly characters you see now and is virtually the same exact ride.

[@reneebarrow4697]

Jackie, thanks for taking us on your trip. This park looked great. Be safe and have more fun.

I REALLY hope they'll bring the Phantom Theater back! I remember that ride being really good! Kings Island is a great park, with so much to offer! I absolutely loved Mystic Timbers! The Beast, Diamondback, Orion, The Bat, and Adventure Express are all well worth riding, too! I'm happy you guys had a great time!

Just finished watching. Oh my gosh it looked so fun! Brought back a lot of memories. Haven’t been in years. Now we’re talking about going! They have a nice Indianapolis package! Thanks ❤️

[@jessicashanks6020]

I grew up going to this park living in the area. So much nostalgia in this video! Last I heard, both red and blue racer race forward facing but when I was growing up one track went backwards which was fun!

Absolutely Broadway level!!

[@lilycooper6673]

I’ve been going to Kings Island since I was little and know it very well. It was really fun to see one of my favorite vlogs experience it for the first time. It’s always been a happy place for me to escape to once a year and you seemed to really capture that special atmosphere that I always feel when I’m there. Thanks for including it in your trip! I always look forward to your videos, they’re so lighthearted and fun! A welcome escape from these stressful and often difficult days.

[@SuperEnthused]

❤️❤️❤️

[@dalemarkwell2169]

Glad you love Kings Island island as much as we do. Boo blaster used to be phantom theater, when it first opened it was Enchanted Voyage. Woodstock coaster used to be called The Beastie.

[@margareterwin1363]

I am so glad I found your videos. All the years and money I spent at Disney, I've missed so much more! Grant it, I'm only 2 hours from Disney so it's easy but there us so much more than just them. Thanks again for sharing! Also thought there night time show was great! By far though Holiday World is my fave so far.

[@andygarwood2480]

Another great video I just want to visit everywhere

[@stephgilliam]

I love this park! Although Holiday World is closer for me, I went to King's Island way more as a teen and in my 20s. Very fun park, filled with lots of good memories!

Woohooo it’s finally here!! It was so magical, I was so glad it lived up and then some!

Jackie and Sam, thank you SO much for sharing your FANTASTIC summer road trip with us and CONGRATS on getting married - best wishes to the both of you!! 🥳❤️❤️❤️ I love seeing and learning about the many theme parks you show us, especially the ones I didn’t previously know about and/or visit yet. For sure want to visit Holiday World and Dollywood at some point! I also hope to visit KI and Cedar Point soon - CP wasn’t open yet when I was in the area a few months ago, gotta come back soon and try again! What a show it appeared to be and a VERY talented cast - so cool it’s a tribute to the former dark ride… I felt I went on the ride too and didn’t even see the whole show. Brava!! 👏🏼🎭 “Here to revive what we didn’t survive” 😂 Oh yeah! Dance it out, Super Enthused! 💃🏼💜💚🎉 Will definitely have to try the blue ice cream when I go to KI! Snoopy (and the Peanuts theme song) is the best! I can’t wait to visit! 😊 50th 🎂 KI 🎆 LOVED this vlog 🤩 Sending a lot of love to y’all and looking forward to your next stop! 💙 ☮️

My first time at King's Island was 1979 so I rode the Beast the year it opened. I also remember riding Flight of Fear during the Paramount days when it was themed to the Outer Limits.

Haha awesome! Hey, if they call you to dance, you gotta be a good sport and do it!

[@christybrainard6134]

I'm telling my age here a bit but I went to Kings Island the first year that it opened. The phantom theater was a favorite ride of mine and I was so sad when it closed. The boiler room was the original ride exit. Finally my daughter sang in show choir with the Maestro of the show several years ago and he has preformed at Kings Island and a local dinner theater since he graduated. I'm glad that you enjoyed our local park!

[@TastesLikeDisney]

We’re only an hour and a half from there! Try to go every year. I like Snoopy, but really miss the Hanna Barbara theming.😢 The Enchanted Voyage ride was amazing! I still remember the theme song! Always have to get a Huckleberry Hound blue cone!😄 Thanks for the video!! Boo Blasters is hard to say.😂😂
