This week we explore the history of Kings Island in Mason, Ohio. Kings Island is a park that has been through a lot of changes in its over 50 year history. Since 1972, the park has thrilled millions of guests, and we discover in this episode that the history started far before that, in the 1880's in an apple orchard along the Ohio River. Join us as we discover all of this and more on this week's Park History episode.
