Steve’s take
A full-scale theme park right off I-71 between Columbus and Cincinnati. The Beast is the longest wooden roller coaster in the world and riding it at night is a top-ten life experience. The kids' area — Planet Snoopy — is perfect for little ones, and the waterpark is included with admission. If your route passes through southern Ohio and you have a day to give, Kings Island is the best theme park between Cedar Point and Dollywood. Your teenagers will beg.
