Gold passes allow for unlimited admission to Kings Island and Soak City Waterpark during 2014 public operating days.

Pass-holders also are entitled to free season-long parking, early ride time, meal and merchandise discounts and bring-a-friend discounts on single-day admission tickets.

Meantime, construction at the park continues on Banshee, which park officials have said will be the world’s longest inverted steel roller coaster with more than 4,000 feet of track and multiple inversions. It will reach speeds of up to 68 mph over the two-minute, 40-second ride.
