Peanuts Gang enthusiasts, the wait is over. Kings Island’s Camp Snoopy is finally ready to take in happy campers! This new expansion of the park’s existing Planet Snoopy offers new rides and areas that kids and adults alike will enjoy. From a rollercoaster to a sprawling kids’ area, these Kings Island additions will surely take the whole family on a fun adventure!

Here’s a breakdown of the new attractions you can expect at Camp Snoopy:

• Snoopy's Soap Box Racers

  Enjoy a thrilling ride on the latest rollercoaster in the park! Snoopy's Soap Box Racers is Kings Island’s first-ever boomerang rollercoaster, taking riders forward and then backward on the same track. This line of soap box race cars is reminiscent of the Peanut Gang’s own race cars, and with Snoopy waving his flag to start the ride, you’ll feel just like you’re racing alongside Charlie Brown and his friends. For safety, do note that riders must be at least 4 feet tall to ride alone, or at least 3.2 feet tall to ride accompanied.

• Beagle Scout Acres

  The kids will be amazed with all the things to do at the all-new Beagle Scout Acres, a large, shaded area where kids can play or relax comfortably. This station is campsite-themed, featuring playground essentials shaped such as tents and small hills, as well as a grass-like carpet. There are also plenty of activities to participate in this area, including lighting a campfire, making sounds with different equipment, and enjoying a yummy campground snack.

Chaperone Policy at Kings Island

The safety of our guests and associates has always been our top priority at Kings Island. Incidents of unruly and inappropriate behavior have increased across our industry and at other major entertainment venues.

We are committed to keeping Kings Island a place where families and friends come together to enjoy a one-of-a-kind park full of fun experiences and immersive entertainment.

As part of that commitment, we are implementing a chaperone policy.

Under this policy, all guests ages 15 years old or younger must be accompanied by a chaperone who is at least 21 years old to be admitted to or remain in the park. The policy will be in effect on Saturdays at 2:00 p.m. local time and all other days by 4:00 p.m. local time. Kings Island reserves the right to begin enforcing the Chaperone Policy earlier on any given day.

The chaperone must present a valid government-issued photo identification with date of birth at ticket entry. One (1) chaperone may accompany no more than ten (10) guests ages 15 or younger per day. In addition, the chaperone must accompany their party during entry, remain inside the park during their visit, and be available by phone throughout their stay.

Guests 16 years of age or older may be asked to present a valid government-issued photo identification (Driver’s license, State Issued ID Card, Passport) with date of birth at entry to verify their age. If unable to verify proof of age, guests may be denied entry into the park.

Guests ages 15 years old or younger who are found inside the park unaccompanied by a chaperone when the Chaperone Policy is in effect will be subject to ejection. This chaperone requirement applies to all Kings Island ticket and season passholders.

Notice: Kings Island Security personnel utilize surveillance cameras and body-worn cameras as part of their overall security program.

Essential Guide to Your Visit: What You Need to Know

Top Rides and Experiences

Handy Tips and Tricks

• Arrive Early:

  Getting to the park right when it opens can help you beat the crowds, especially for popular rides like The Beast and Orion, which tend to have longer lines as the day progresses.

• Pack Smart:

  Don't forget to bring sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses for sunny days. For water rides or Soak City, consider waterproof cases for phones and moisture-wicking clothing. Light layers are ideal for changing weather.

• Plan Mealtimes Wisely:

  Eating at non-peak times (before noon or after 2:00 PM) can mean shorter lines at park restaurants. Exploring dining options and their menus in advance can also save time.

• Use Parent Swap:

  If you're visiting with small children, ask about the Parent Swap program, which allows one parent to ride while the other waits with the child and then switch without having to wait in line again.

• Take Breaks:

  Find time to rest between rides. The park offers plenty of shaded areas and shows where you can relax and recharge.
