Kings Island theme park in Ohio, US, is adding a new area, called Adventure Port, for the 2023 season.

The theme and design of the new area – led by JRA – features the myths of an ancient civilization and its mighty city carved out of stone.

According to the storyline, the mysterious land has lured travelers and explorers from around the globe for hundreds of years to search for an ancient civilization’s forbidden temple and its mysterious wonders. The locals recount tales of those who came before and vanished.

Adventure Port will feature two new family rides.

Sol Spin features open-air, suspended passenger vehicles, with guests experiencing the sensation of flying 60ft through the air at 25mph.

The other, called Cargo Loco, offers riders the opportunity to board shipping barrels in which they will be able to manually control the speed of their spin with a wheel in the middle of the barrel.

In addition to the two rides, the project will also see a major upgrade to the existing Adventure Express, the park’s family roller coaster.

Mike Koontz, vice president and general manager of Kings Island, said: “What I love about Adventure Port is that we’ve taken parts of the Adventure Express story and built upon it to create this new themed area.

“When guests who have been coming to the park for years visit this area for the first time, the story will feel familiar, but it will be told in a whole new way.”

In addition to JRA, companies working on the Adventure Port project include RSL Commercial Architects, Schaefer Engineers, Abercrombie and Associates and SHP Architects.

Kings Island is owned and operated by Cedar Fair.
