Delerium at Kings Island, Kings Mills, Ohio

We did make sure to grab a few more rides on Delirium when we were able to.

The final coaster that Bond had to conquer at Kings island was Invertigo. He's a huge fan of Boomerangs and as this is just an inverted boomerang I had no doubt that he'd love it.

I sat across from Bond and we kicked back and forth at each other as we headed up the lift which he thought was pretty funny then of course he yelled his lungs out as we zoomed through the boomerang, the loop and of course back through it all in the other direction.

Last year this ride was Scooby Doo and the Haunted Castle but like the rest of the Nickelodeon Universe section of the park Kings Island had to re-theme rides that were based on shows and characters that they didn't have the rights to. So as a result you now have Boo Blasters on Boo Hill. It's your standard shoot-em-up dark ride with some really good effects.

Now when you get in line you'll be accosted by three or four ride operators selling 3-D glasses for this ride. Ignore them and don't waste your cash. The ride is just fine without them and there's a really awesome animated skull that's projected onto a veil of mist while you're going through the ride that really impressed us.

I do have to hone up my shooting skills as Bond is starting to get better at these rides. He hasn't beat me yet but give it a few years and he'll start giving me a run for my money.

We had a great day at Kings Island just looping the park and riding whatever caught our fancy. The park was dead so thankfully we got as many rides as we wanted. As always we had a great time with our friends and as the closing hour approached we headed back to where our day began, Diamondback for as many rides as we could get before hitting the road.

A day at Kings Island was a great way to start our Holiwood Nights weekend and I think we're going to have to head back here next year, at the least for another Diamondback fix.
