Page "Kings Island" Paragraph 12

On June 30, 2006, Cedar Fair Entertainment Company purchased Kings Island and the rest of Paramount Parks for approximately $ 1. 24 billion.

With this acquisition, Cedar Fair owned all three major amusement parks in Ohio: Kings Island, Cedar Point and Geauga Lake ( purchased from Six Flags in 2004 ).

Kings Island kept the Paramount branding through the end of the 2006 season.

Thereafter, Face / Off became Invertigo, The Italian Job Stunt Track became Backlot Stunt Coaster, Tomb Raider: The Ride became The Crypt and Top Gun became Flight Deck.

Nickelodeon's presence remained in the park through 2009, when Cedar Fair changed the kids ' area to a Peanuts theme.
