All the hype of the highly anticipated Adventure Port opening later this spring at Kings Island gives guests a ton to be excited about. New rides, reimagined Adventure Express theme elements, plus the reveal of an all new Mercado and Enrique’s dining experience.

While James Major has moved on to Cedar Fair, Kings Island is proud to announce a new executive chef to take the helm. Joseph Perez comes from Kansas City, Missouri and should add some exciting new culinary visions for the park.

Guests entering the park for the 2023 season will also notice that the International Street Skyline Chili is no longer present.

Guests will now be able to experience Grain and Grill, a new concept first introduced at Kings Dominion and one of our personal favorites in the entire Cedar Fair portfolio.

The Grain and Grill menu will feature Moroccan Chicken, Glazed Pork Shoulder, Shrimp Skewers and fresh seasonal sides. Opening this spring, Grain and Grill will be featured on the dining plan.

Skyline Chili will still be able to be obtained at the Coney Mall location.

Guests will also notice that Chick-fil-A is no longer at Kings Island. Instead, Tom & Chee will be moving into their location.

Subway will also no longer be at Kings Island. A replacement has yet to be announced.
