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

- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- 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! 💙💙💙
I loved it
I loved what you said about The Beast! Just too bad my first loop coaster is no longer there, The Vortex.
My home park! So glad you went!
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! 💙)
My favorite Cedar Fair park! Love The Beast and that blue ice cream is amazing. ❤️
Thanks for coming!
We had the best day!! 💙💛💙💛
Real kings island W
Wow! Kings Island!!
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!
Agree!
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! 😃
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I’m loving being on the road and doing all these new things, it’s the best and I appreciate you being supportive my bro!!!
@@SuperEnthused I don't know how you find these Awesome parks Jackie but keep on rockin very cool 😎👍
Try my best favorite Restaurant and dessert 🍫🎂🍰 today and try some coffee ☕☕ and tea sit-down restaurant to relax cool off refreshing drink today have a super fun day
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!
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.
Sometimes there is also a male and female doing aerial work during the show.
@@vandy0419 luckily I got to see that today it's really cool!
There's a video here on youtube that someone took many years ago on the ride!!
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.
Everything about this really felt like a celebration of the park and its history, so well done!
I LOVED that Brady Bunch episode and think of it every time I see videos of Kings Island
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 😻
Good you loved King Island. best Video of your trip besides the Holiday World one Jackie.
I think so too, Sue, so thank you!!
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 !
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!!
Yes, remember the backwards racer. It was such a unique experience trying to hang on
I remember. ❤️
The backwards racer always had a longer line than forwards 😊
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!
Another great video SUPER ENTHUSED love Kings island !
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!
Yeah! You made it
Glad you liked it!!!
My daughter had blue ice cream at her wedding lol
Come back soon:) winterfest at the holidays is amazing too
Reminds me of my FAVORITE literature line - 'MEN SHALL LOVE ME AND DESPAIR'
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! 😂😂😂
Kings Island is the best! And the blue ice cream is the best. Must have sprinkles though!
Can't beat a live show - such a throwback
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! 🙂
Kings Island gives me big Magic Kingdom vibes! Thanks as always for sharing the fun!
Totally top tier!
Amazing vlog!! I loved seeing everything and learning about the history of this beautiful park!! ❤
So exciting to see you visit my local theme park! Glad you enjoyed your visit- bummed I missed getting to say hi!
Thank you for the great road trip videos. We love your Disney and Universal vids but your road trips are awesome. Even your trips around Florida vids are amazing. We watch so many Dis vids that they become dull after a while. Thanks for the breath of fresh air. Keep up the great work
Agree! When I started this, not as many ppl were doing it. Now there are gazillions of ppl making vids of the same things. It’s a shame tho bc I don’t want to stop doing what I love and have been doing for 5 years just bc a lot of other ppl do it now too, nor do I want to gatekeep or discourage anyone else. So I’ll continue to do both - travel & variety, PLUS the disney and universal vids I’ve loved to make for years and still love to make - and not let what anyone else does impact what I do, and hope that my true peeps enjoy it all and stick with me. ❤️
@@SuperEnthused Thank you for all you do. Say hi to Sam and safe travels. Can't wait for next video.
I’m currently watching this theme park fun while printing documents at work. I would much rather be there 🤣
I feel ya!
The Phantom Theater show really honors it's history. So many things done well in the play and performance.
It’s wonderful!!
Thanks for visiting my park! I grew up there. I worked there as a caricature artist for 7 years! A great park to visit!!
I had to pause the video and say, Sam is amazing! such a laid back friendly guy, I absolutely love him in the videos. You two make such a great fun loving couple. Happy for the both of you!
Thank you SO SO MUCH! He really is a joy.
Easy on the eyes too, really handsome!
You got me. I subscribed as soon as I saw you dancing in the parade. Love your enthusiasm!
Haha awesome! Hey, if they call you to dance, you gotta be a good sport and do it!
Jackie thanks for bringing the 3 theme parks from my childhood to your vlog Kings Island Holiday World and Kentucky Kingdom. We could never afford to go to Disney when I was a kid so it was nice to see you experience these parks. Hopefully I’ll see you again when I’m at Disney August 14-17. Enjoy this gas money as a token of appreciation for all you do! Be safe ✌🏻🍻
Ryan thank you so much, this is so kind and helpful!!!
King's Island looks like so much fun! Thanks for showing this Jackie.
so happy I went back to find this. Kings Island was my first theme park and for a midwest kid it was like walking Magic Kingdom. The tower with the fountains was so cool. The racers early on was their only coaster. Later was the beast. Still unique to me as it goes through woods and uses the natural landscape. Your analogy to a long train ride is pretty accurate really..even sounds like it at times if my memory serves me. The rest though doesn't ring a bell though as it's changed of course. Looks like the festhause is still there..always good for a beer when I got older. I always was jealous of those who lived close and probably played a role years later in moving to FL. This has me thinking of going up again taking a visit. Thanks as always.
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.😂😂
Really nice video. Thanks for sharing new and interesting places!
The Brady Bunch had an entire episode filmed all over that park not just the roller coaster. Great video Jackie!!
I’m gunna watch it when we get back, excited.
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!
You and Sam add so much to the love of theme parks. Not everyone can afford Disney, and the parks around the country offer all the things that are old fashion America, from the food to the exhibits,farm shows and music. Thanks so much for the experience..
Agree!!! It’s an honor to show there is so much
More top tier family fun around the country!
Finally the kings island video is here!
Woohooo it’s finally here!! It was so magical, I was so glad it lived up and then some!
I love Kings Island so much, Diamondback is probably my second favorite coaster there. It's the best in the front!
Thank you Jackie
I was the operator at mystics entrance who said I love your videos and I’m so glad you guys liked Mystic Timbers it is my fav! Amazing video as always!!
Ah how amazing, thank you and we Loooooved it!!!! Thank uuu!!
@@SuperEnthused you’re welcome! I hope you guys come again!
Another great theme park video! Iv been there once many many years ago. The beast is AWSOME!
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.
❤️❤️❤️
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 💙
Another great video I just want to visit everywhere
Thank you for your vlogs. Getting ready for mt chemo treatments and your videos give me joy daily........
I really enjoy your videos, that fireworks show was awesome, and I can’t wait for your next first visit and as always great job
Video was so much fun. Looks like a really cool park. Loved the Charlie Brown music. Awesome fireworks and lights display.
Excited to watch. Used to work there in the late 70s. Went to Kings Mills High School
I bet you be coming back to KINGS ISLAND again right Jackie, is 6 flags going to be on youre guys list to go you might like it my friend great video..and i love it
We're so pleased to hear you had so much fun at our home park! Amazing! We hope you come back again real soon! Hopefully one of these days we can meet!
Wow that show was something else for a free play! That’s something you seem like you would pay for
Seriously I agree!! I can’t believe how talented the cast is!
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!
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.
I love and appreciate your videos and you taking your own footage. Super Enthused keeps us enthused and amused!
This means a lot thank u Christopher!!
What a great fun day at King's Island.
The fireworks 🎆 were outstanding. Thanks for sharing. From your No. 1 fans downunder 🇦🇺
I love watching your videos! You always make me feel happy, thank you so much for sharing your vacation with us. Bless you and Sam.
You looked like you were having the time if your life dancing in that parade! I loved it.
They called me up hahaa and I had to go all in!
@@SuperEnthused
And you definitely did !
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.
Opera at a theme park ? How intriguing 🤔⭐️
Absolutely Broadway level!!
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!!
I’m so bummed you were at KI and I missed you! We have passes and go all the time! So glad you got to experience it though! Make sure you come back!
This is where I live at!!!!! Glad you are enjoying this!
It’s awesome you Orlando based guys are doing our Midwest parks. Loved KI as a kid. With the price gouging at Disney right now, that Holiday World, Kings Island, Cedar Point loop is a lot better value and the rides are honestly way better.
I’ve been trying to show different parks for a long time and I’m glad others are taking notice and going too! ❤️❤️❤️ we got our Cedar passes earlier this year on the March and April road trips and this trip has been planned since then! the Cedar parks deserve a lot of love so glad if more ppl go :) it’s so refreshing to visit these parks w their great offerings for great prices!!
The Woodstock coaster used to be called the Scooby Doo back in the 70’s. It was my first roller coaster. So glad you and Sam had a great time.
Great videos, I enjoyed them alot
3:38 I love a headrest on a wooden roller coaster 🎢 too
My cousin went up in the Eiffel Tower in 1972 and put his head between the bars and got stuck! He was about 10 years old. I'll never forget that! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Omg that’s terrifying 😂
@@SuperEnthused We all say remember when...and laugh about it now 😊
This video was great. Another theme park that you introduced me to. Kay and I are enjoying these video immensely. We anticipate every single one with Enthusiasm
Yaaaay!
Jackie, thanks for taking us on your trip. This park looked great. Be safe and have more fun.
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!
I am one of your newest subscribers and found you through the video you did on a resort you stayed at Disneyworld that I will be staying at soon! Then one of your videos led to another and so on!!!!! Then this one came up ...... OMG... I was one of KI's first guests!!! They use to also have something called the Lion Country Safari (or close to that) and I lived so close, I could hear the lions roaring early in the morning!!!!! I now live in Florida, and love to travel-soooo I have to check out many more of your Authentic self! Love it! You're great! Keep up the wonderful content!!!
BTW... I hope you had some of Cincinnati's famous Skyline Chili!!!! Or Gold Star Chili! Yummy!!
Thank you so much, PJ! What a cool memory that must be from KI’s early history!!! Thank you for the kind words! ❤️
Completed the theme park triangle from growing up for me. Kentucky Kingdom, Holiday World and Kings Island! I love all 3 parks!!
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!
The theater show was very well done!
Loved it!!! So enjoying your adventures!! It is so fun to see all these different places!
Great Snoopy baseball cap!
Thanks! Had to represent the Snoop!
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!! ❤❤❤👏👏🏠🎢🎢🎡🎡
Excellent Video! We visit Kings Island at least 2 times per year from Cedar Point area. Great talking to you at Cedar Point last Friday! Can’t wait for your CP video!
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!
I met you and Nate at Disney. Happy you enjoyed King's Island! I live a short distance away. Welcome to Ohio!
So glad y'all could make it out!
Welcome to Ohio. Kings Island is our home park. It is a great all around park. I much prefer kings island over Cedar point. My favorite coasters at kings island is probably Banshee followed by Diamond Back. Hope you enjoyed your time. Safe travels.
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..
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.
I can’t watch right now but will definitely be checking this out first chance I get! I’m originally from the Cincinnati area & this was my home park when I was little! I hope you tried the Cincinnati chili! It’s my favorite!!💜
Awesome fireworks show!
Kings Island and Cedar Point were our go to parks growing up in Ohio. we had another cool park, Geauga Lake, which was adjacent to Sea World Ohio. it closed a while back. summers were never boring in Ohio. it's good to see you and Sam enjoying all this
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!!
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! 💙 ☮️
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.
Thank you for taking time out of your trip and stopping by KI! I'm happy you were able to be there on one of the days where the Phantom Theater was going on. I was curious how you and Sam would like Banshee, but leaves more to do next year!
Oh KI was one of the prime destinations for this trip!! Been excited for it for a long time. ❤️❤️❤️
Looks like a great place for fun.
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.
It was a awesome night to run into you and Sam. We just went to the park with the hopes of meeting you two. I can say this was the highlight of the summer for us.
We used to go here every summer back in the 90s, when it was owned by Paramount. Taking the backwards side on The Racer was the way to go! So many rides from back then are long gone now (Vortex, King Cobra, Top Gun), but The Beast was always the ride I came back to, over & over. I think this video has convinced me to go back; the last time I went was about ten years ago & it had lost some of its luster. So glad that Cedar Fair has plussed it up & given the park the love it deserves!
Paramount really ran the parks into the ground. Cedar Fairs really saved these parks. Now the landscaping is awsume and better world class rides are here. Top Gun is still there, now called the Bat.
The first time we went to King's Island, the lines were so low that we got to sit on The Beast and go a couple of times without getting off.
Back in the day, when Paramount ran the show, they had a Nickelodeon section with the BEST suspended kiddie coaster called Runaway Reptar. I guess it's still there but themed as something else now.
I would have LOVED getting to ride back to back!
Wow this took me back! My family went when I was a teenager and this brought back so many memories! Love it!
GREAT Snoopy hat
