Yesterday Kevin and I went to Kings Island with my SIL, nephew, neice, and 2 of her friends. We had a great time!! Kings Island is an amusement park just north of Cincinnati, Ohio. We got there around noon and went straight for the rides. The first one we rode was called Delirium. It was a ride that did spinning motions so Kevin didnt ride it. After that we rode "Drop Zone"! This ride is awesome if you dont mind your stomach coming out of your brain haha. Heres some pics of us (Thanks Kacey!)

Right before the ride started. Im in the pink striped shirt and Kevin is in the red shirt

| All the way at the top...this thing was TALL!!!! |
The ride takes you all the way to the top then just drops you, its an amazing rush and super fun! We went to eat after that ride and caught the tail end of the "Way Too much TV" show in the Festhaus. They sing theme songs to classic TV shows. I sang along and Kevin looked at me like I was crazy. Side note-- I sing and dance in grocery stores too, I have no shame :) A pic from the show!
Sorry the quality is so bad...dang flash went off and the stage was already lighted so it looks dark! After lunch Kevin and I decided to go on the Eiffel Tower. Theres an elevator that takes you 31 stories up to an observation deck where you can see the whole park! The tower is 1/3 scale exact replica of the Eiffel Tower in Paris! A couple of pics:

| Behind the blue roller coaster is the Beast. At 5 minutes actual ride time, The Beast is the longest wooden roller coaster in the world!! |
No I didnt ride the Beast. Kevin told me its really rough on your back, so sadly it would do some damage and with my back surgery I cant afford for that to happen :( Its really cool to look at though!! After spending a few minutes on top of the tower, we went back down and decided to ride another roller coaster, Diamondback. It was really fun! They put you in individual seats with a lap harness and the first drop is at a 74 degree angle...I put my hands up the whole ride, while Kevin called me crazy and white-knuckled it haha. We ended up riding that one again! Pic of the Diamondback

| Diamondback--yeah baby, good times!! |
That thing is tall!! I love love love roller coasters and heights dont bother me so theme parks are good times :) My hip, however, does not like theme parks. It was screaming at me by like 4pm. Always trying to ruin a good time haha. Luckily I brought my hip meds with me so all was good! We walked around for a few more hours, rode some more rides, then around 10pm we left. Not before I snapped some pictures of the Eiffel Tower all lit up :)
 |
| Really pretty! |
 |
| It lit up with different colors to music |
 |
| A very tired Kevin and I---not sure why my eyes look all weird haha |
We had a fabulous time and definitely want to go back when we are in Ohio again! Hope you all enjoyed the pictures!!
Oh by the way....3 more days til Aloha!!!!! YAY!!!!!
