King's Island used to be a great amusement park for those of us from eastern KY and West Virginia who had to rely on Camden Park in Ceredo/Kenova for our thrilling rides and entertainment. But, from what I have heard from my fellow Gen-Xers who still live in the area, times have changed and King's Island is no longer the wonder it used to be. Same can be said of Six Flags near Atlanta. It suffers from every single one of the complaints you had regarding King's Island.

Society is different and it has affected every level of our lives now.

There is no place left untouched by trash.

I was at Valley Fair in Minneapolis a couple summers ago and the people watching is part of the show. Humanity has become disgusting.

I saw what was probably a pre-teen girl get removed from one of the roller coasters because she was so fat they couldn't get the restraints over her. Imagine being that young and that obese. She wasn't an outlier either.

Last went in ‘66 or ‘67.

Was there a water park or pool called Dreamland there too?

My kids refuse to go to Six Flags Over Georgia. We went one time and they were legit scared of the crowd.

Literally yesterday I asked one of them if they want to go back this summer, and she said, “No, I don’t want to get shot.”
