New 2018 Kings Island Peanuts Celebration & Season of FUN Events

One of our favorite new events this year was the Knott’s Berry Farm PEANUTS Celebration. Not only were there unique shows, decorations, and character meet-and-greets, but there was a tremendous amount of specialty PEANUTS food that we really enjoyed.

Looking at the rest of the Cedar Fair properties, no where does it make more sense to roll out the PEANUTS Celebration than at Kings Island, the home of the Best Kids’ Area in the World!

“The PEANUTS gang is a big reason why Kings Island continues to be recognized for having the Best Kids’ Area in the World,” said Mike Koontz, Kings Island Vice President and General Manager. “Our guests, especially our Gold and Platinum Passholders, have told us they want more Charlie Brown, more Linus, more Peppermint Patty, and more PEANUTS. For 17 days in June they are going to get that.”

NEW! Pig Pen Joins the Kings Island PEANUTS Gang for a Limited Time Only

Also in Planet Snoopy, everyone’s favorite messy pal, Pig Pen, will be making his Kings Island debut as he hosts a special meetup at Snoopy’s Barnyard with some of his favorite animal friends. Don’t miss the chance to meet him, Pig Pen is only at Kings Island during the PEANUTS Celebration.

Exclusive PEANUTS Party for Gold and Platinum Passholders

Each Saturday and Sunday (6/2-3; 6/9-10; 6/16-17) from 9:00 –10:00 a.m. passholders have a special invitation to an exclusive PEANUTS party. Planet Snoopy will open one hour early with select Planet Snoopy rides, character meet and greets, breakfast snacks and other exclusive activities only available to Gold and Platinum Passholders. The Gold Pass is only available for purchase through May 28th and includes a number of unique and exclusive year-long benefits.
