MASON, Ohio — Buckle up and get ready to fly! Visitors will be able to enjoy a new roller coaster at Kings Island this year.
The park has put in the last piece of track for its new family coaster, Snoopy’s Soap Box Racers.
During its off-season, the amusement park staff have been busy working to expand the Planet Snoopy kids area by adding the upcoming Camp Snoopy area, which will include the new roller coaster.
The new area will be in line with the kids zones at sister parks like Cedar Point and Carowinds. Camp Snoopy areas tend to have more trees, wooden walkways and a more "summer camp" feel when compared to Planet Snoopy, with its expansive concrete walkways.
Watch the crews finish the track on Snoopy's Soap Box Racers:
The new ride will race forward and backward, along a 672-foot track.
The coaster will not be a toddler ride but will add a more family-oriented coaster option to Camp Snoopy. Several other rides will be renamed as part of Camp Snoopy.
"Race For Your Life Charlie Brown" will become "Charlie Brown's Rushing River Log Ride;" "Flying Ace Aerial Chase" will become "Woodstock's Air Rail;" and "Woodstock Gliders" will become "Franklin's Flyers."
Kings Island will open in April and the crews plan to have Camp Snoopy and the new ride open by late spring.
