After skipping the event in 2024, Kings Island amusement park in Mason recently announced the dates for Coasterstock’s return this spring. Featuring special tours, industry speakers and exclusive ride time on attractions, the popular event will be May 30-31.

The park’s first Coasterstock was in May 2015 and featured behind-the-scenes looks at Banshee, the Beast and Diamondback. A review written by blog Best Park and Roller Coaster Seeker praised the event, saying “for the first event that Kings Island ever put on they seem like pros.”
