Today was genuinely the funnest day of my life!

[Blueskunky Blueskunky]

Okay, I'm going to be honest here, I really don't like to brag, like seriously, bragging about something that other less fortunate people can't do is a genuine selfish thing to do, and I don't like being selfish but I just really wanna talk about today because of how much fun I had!
So I apologize in advance.
Anyways at Kings Island today was genuinely the greatest day of my life!!
I've been there before but I didn't get to ride many of the rides but this time with my cousin and his wife... I practically rode all of the coasters there this time!! (Except for one but that's for later)
While there I also discovered my favorite ride as at Kings Island, I even got a hat for it too!!

(I apologize for the bad picture, this was taken in the car at 11 in the afternoon)
Also, remember how I said I rode all the rides except for one? Time to talk about that now!
So the ride I didn't get to ride is also the most popular ride and is a registered landmark here in the United States, The Beast, opening way back in 1979, and a popular thing to do is to ride it when after the fireworks, when it's the darkest outside where it's practically 3 minutes of pure pitch black (since the ride is in a forest).
I didn't get to ride it since it conveniently broke down 40 minutes before closing, so instead we had to ride a different ride instead where something cool happened!
So, if you know me (or looked at my username), you know how skunks are my favorite animal, right?
Take a wild guess what I saw in the line for Diamondback? A wild skunk!
I unfortunately didn't get a picture (since I didn't take my phone into the park) but man, they sure do look fluffier and cuter in person! (Even if untamed)
Anyways that all I have, I hope you had or will have a wonderful day! Perhaps even better than mine!
Also before I go, here's a photo I took on my cousins phone before leaving, as a bonus!

Bye!

Too bad you didn't caught a snapshot of those skunks that would've been awesome. Still nice to hear that you had fun out there things like that don't happen everyday so you should cherish it.

Fair play travel and experiences is where im headed the rest of the year started in june. If people cant be happy for your willingness to do something different then thats on them to sort themselves out and fight for something better. Life experiences and seeing things out there is living to me. I used to be a bit jealous of people on holiday but then i realised im capable of it too. And i started again after a 2 year absence. Whatever you do dont wait to book the next trip whatever it may bring you.

Okay so after doing some research I found out there used to be a Tomb Raider ride there when Paramount owned the park, which unfortunately closed in 2012 after the park was sold to Cedar Fair

Here is a video with all the of effects working before the budget cuts in 2011

Never been to King's Island, but I have heard nothing but positive things about it over the years. I've also never been on a rollercoaster before, so I'd probably be scared shitless if I were to go on any of the rides lol.

(Also, that nighttime shot of yours is !)

What an incredible story! It sounds like you had a lot of fun. It reminds me of when I was a kid your age and I didn't go out to have fun with my mom.
