I live about 15 minutes from Kings Island although I haven't been there in a few years. I always have fun though. I know they have gotten a few new coasters and added on to the water park. I heard some of the new coasters are crazy! I need to get back up there soon. Some of the good coasters I like are The Beast, Top Gun, The Vortex and Outer Limits. I haven't ever heard of Kings Dominion, and Kings Island is pretty well known nationally. Also it is very close to The Beach (A pretty cool water park) and the city of Cincinnati where there is a ton of other stuff to do.
