Got a pass to Kings Island a couple years ago. Just got them again this year. We're close enough that we can run up for a few hours so with the free parking they pay for themselves pretty quickly.
For those with kids who are "too short"....
Not sure if many other places do this, but KI has a measuring station just inside the entrance. Rather than having to get checked at every ride, kids can get their height checked one time and then they get a color coded wristband letting ride operators know what rides they're good for. When we had passes a couple years ago Emmett was about 1/2-inch from moving up to the good rides, but there was an easy fix. Before taking him to get measured, I would take an extra pair of socks, roll them up and stick one sock under each heel. Got him that 1/2-inch he needed and once he had his wristband he didn't need to hobble around with rolled up socks in his shoes anymore.
