No trip to King's Island would be complete without a ride on the amusement park's KI & MV RR steam locomotives trains!
Hop aboard with us as we ride behind the Kenny Van Meter, locomotive no. 12, from Losantiville station (aka "Rivertown Station") to the depot at Soak City water park.
Per the Kings Island website: Kings Island’s two locomotives have been at the park since it opened in 1972 and are scale replicas of the famous 1800’s locomotive known as The General, which was the subject of the Great Locomotive Chase of the American Civil War (The General is preserved at the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History in Kennesaw, Georgia). Although Kings Island’s engines are fired by propane rather than coal, the 400-gallon boilers on each engine provide plenty of capacity to make them real authentic steam-spitting locomotives. Each of the two engines - Blue No. 12 and Green No. 19 - pulls six coaches and when both trains are filled to capacity, 960 guests can be on rail at one time.
