Go To The Kings Island Official Site

 
 
The Kings Island and Miami Valley Railroad opened in 1971 with King's Island. The ride was originally a scenic loop through the woods, but with the addition of the waterpark a second station was added to serve the waterpark area.

The railroad features a pair of Crown 36" steam locomotives and two matching sets of coaches, and is maintained and operated with great pride by the staff.
