Paramount's Kings Island Kings Mills, Ohio Italian Job Stunt Track Media Day May 19, 2005 Page Thirteen
Driving down the road it's kind of hard to miss Jungle Jim's as for now they are using the old monorail from Kings Island as a sign.
When this monorail was at Kings Island (pre-Paramount days) it ran through the old wild animal preserve which was in the area behind the Son of Beast and Top Gun. Unfortunately back then it ran at ground level which kind of takes away from the monorail experience.
Jungle Jim has a plan for the monorail besides acting as a billboard for his store. In the center of this picture is going to be one of the two stations. Yes they need two stations because Jungle Jim's is that huge. You could easily spend hours shopping here. Not only is there groceries from around the world but Jungle Jims has a fish hatchery, restaurant, cooking school and pretty much every kind of food found under the sun.
For all of you baseball fans Jungle Jim's even has seats from the old Riverfront Stadium for sale. Unfortunately Jungle Jims does not allow photography in his store otherwise there's be ten more pages of pictures because it's just that cool. Heck he even has a bunch of old bumper cars that he has transformed into a rack full of candy. Jungle Jim has taken to theming everything and even has a bunch of animatronics around the store from the old Lesourdsville Lake Park.
The exit from Jungle Jim's takes you through this elaborately themed fountain where a family of ducks have made home.
Going to a grocery store may not seem like the best stop off on a trip to an amusement park but trust me it fits right in. In all reality Jungle Jim's is an amusement park for anyone who likes food. Carrie and I are already planning on bringing the cooler next time we head to Cincinnati so we can raid Jungle Jim's seafood market.
