1. Debut of King’s Island New Slide “Tropical Plunge” → Saturday, May 28, 2016
This seven-story, 65-foot-tall ride includes six different kinds of water slides and will debut Memorial Day weekend. Be advised: To ride this slide, visitors must place themselves into something called the “Aqua-Launch Chamber,” where they “will wait anxiously for the floor to drop out from underneath their feet, sending them into a high-speed, almost vertical free fall through a series of flat loops and S-curves in a translucent flume.” If that sounds like a whole lotta nope to you, then may we recommend Planet Snoopy?
