title="Cincinnati">Cincinnati</a> in <a href="/wiki/Mason,_Ohio" title="Mason, Ohio">Mason, Ohio</a>, United States. Owned and operated by <a href="/wiki/Six_Flags" title="Six Flags">Six Flags</a>, the park was built by <a href="/wiki/Taft_Broadcasting" title="Taft Broadcasting">Taft Broadcasting</a> and opened in 1972. It was part of a larger effort to move and expand <a href="/wiki/Coney_Island_(Cincinnati,_Ohio)" title="Coney Island (Cincinnati, Ohio)">Coney Island</a>, a popular resort destination along the banks of the <a href="/wiki/Ohio_River" title="Ohio River">Ohio River</a> that was prone to frequent flooding. After more than $300 million in capital investments over the years, the park has grown to feature over a hundred attractions including fifteen <a href="/wiki/Roller_coaster" title="Roller coaster">roller coasters</a> and a 33-acre (13 ha) water park. Early in its history, Kings Island appeared in popular sitcoms and received widespread recognition for its record-breaking attractions and events. One of the park's most well-known attractions, <a href="/wiki/The_Racer_(Kings_Island)" title="The Racer (Kings Island)">The Racer</a>, is often credited with reviving worldwide interest in roller coasters during the 1970s. A variety of attractions over the years introduced notable milestones, and <a href="/wiki/The_Beast_(roller_coaster)" title="The Beast (roller coaster)">The Beast</a> and <a href="/wiki/Banshee_(roller_coaster)" title="Banshee (roller coaster)">Banshee</a> are two that have set enduring world records.

Kings Island is divided into nine themed sections and operates seasonally from early spring through <a href="/wiki/Labor_Day" title="Labor Day">Labor Day</a> in the fall, followed by two additional holiday-themed events known as Halloween Haunt and Winterfest. Kings Island had an estimated 3.18 million guests in 2021, ranking third in attendance among seasonal amusement parks in North America behind sister parks <a href="/wiki/Canada%27s_Wonderland" title="Canada's Wonderland">Canada's Wonderland</a> and <a href="/wiki/Cedar_Point" title="Cedar Point">Cedar Point</a>. In addition, Kings Island has won Golden Ticket Awards in the annual publication from <a href="/wiki/Amusement_Today" title="Amusement Today">Amusement Today</a>, including "Best Kids' Area" in the world for eighteen consecutive years (2001–2018) and "Best New Ride" in 2017 for <a href="/wiki/Mystic_Timbers" title="Mystic Timbers">Mystic Timbers</a>.
