Road trip to King's Island - looking for stuff to do along the way

We were planning to use our condo for spring break, but it thankfully booked up with paying guests, so I am looking for an alternate idea. I cooked up something that satisfies a couple of the nerdy things we love... science and roller coasters.
The solar eclipse is April 8, I was contemplating driving "that direction," to visit Kings Island for at least a day and then into Indiana to catch the eclipse as close to totality as possible.
If we are heading up I-75 from North Georgia, are there any things that we should consider to help round this out into a few days?
We could head over to Dollywood and spend a day there and knock out some more coasters we haven't ridden.
Is Mammoth Cave National Park worth adding to the trek?

If you go near Cincinnati, there is the ark encounter. I haven't been yet but friends loved it.

Don’t think the park is open until May.

Yeah saw that post facto, more like 4/20 ironically. Dollywood opens next week.

It's a shame it won't be open. That said, I'd drive the extra couple of hours and go to Cedar Point 100of the time.

My mother in law wanted to see it. There’s a whole thread about it on here.

Yeah I wanted to do both, but it’s more like 3-4 hours. One day. Also, it doesn’t open til May.

If you're going all the way to Cedar Point, might as well stop a day at Put-in-Bay.

Don't make that drive without checking their calendar first Clark. They don't open til April 20th.
Kings Island Calendar
If you're traveling up 75, Cumberland Falls State Resort Park is nice. It's near Corbin KY. Not far from the interstate. The only place in the western hemisphere with a moonbow. Kissed my wife for the first time there! The Dupont Lodge and the Riverview Restaurant is very nice too.
If you want to get off the beaten path, head east to Harlan County and tour Portal 31 - an underground coal mine tour. I took friends from AL there in Oct. From Corbin, it's about 1.5 hour drive.
Louisville has Kentucky Kingdom, an amusement park, but I haven't been there since the 80s. I've been to Mammoth Cave. You need time to setup cave tours. Louisville has a bunch of museums. Louisville Slugger Museum is cool. Lexington has the horse park. Bourbon distilleries all in Central KY. Cinci has a great zoo.
