I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
In Southwest Ohio, Warren County has long been hailed as Ohio’s Largest Playground, a place filled with water parks, adventure parks, and, of course, one of the best amusement parks in the country. Kings Island has been entertaining generations of Ohioans since 1972, providing an ever-evolving experience for roller coaster enthusiasts, thrill seekers, and families alike. The 2023 season promises to be one for the books, with the opening of Adventure Port, a new theme attraction at Kings Island sure to delight guests young and old.
Editor’s Note: Please note that Adventure Port is a new themed area of Kings Island Amusement Park. Kings Island has been around for 50 years, and Adventure Port — opening date TBD — is a new attraction within the park. We apologize for any confusion.
There's something undeniably magical about an amusement park: the sights, the sounds, the total sensory experience. It's a place where lasting memories are made; a place of pure magic and fantasy.
Opening in 2023, Adventure Port is the newest themed area at Kings Island -- but it's so much more than a mere "themed area" within an amusement park... it's an entire wonderful world!
This new mini theme park at Kings Island has it all: two new family rides, enhanced theming for Adventure Express, a quick-service restaurant, and entire historic market.
Adventure Express is perhaps the park's most-anticipated new ride; this roller coaster first opened in 1991 and will be enhanced for 2023, with a relocated queue line and additional theming sure to delight guests young and old.
For those who can't stomach roller coasters (guilty!), the Mercado is a great way to experience Adventure Port. While you're exploring, be sure to chat up the local tour guide, a tour guide and local expert. Play along -- it's part of the experience!
Similar to one of the immersive worlds you'd find at a Disney theme park, Adventure Port has its very own setting, backstory, lore, and legends. When you enter this themed area, get ready to explore the foothills of overgrown mountains and dense tropical terrain, searching for clues in the ruins of an ancient civilization that left behind intriguing temples and mysterious wonders.
Will you be visiting the new theme park at Kings Island this season? What an exciting new addition to one of our favorite amusement parks in Ohio!
Of course, while a county of adventures is certainly brag-worthy if you’re in the northern region of the state, there’s nothing quite like America’s Roller Coast — an entire shoreline of fun!
