This week Kings Island made an exciting announcement about a new themed area opening at the park in 2023 -
Adventure Port. Located in the middle of the park, the expansion will see a total retheme of a part of the property with two new rides added and exciting new food and beverage offerings as well.

Adventure Port is described as a unique location "resting in the foothills of overgrown mountains and dense tropical
terrain." Adventure Port "is a hub for explorers searching for the ruins
of an ancient civilization, its forbidden temple and mysterious wonders.
If asked, the locals will tell tales of those who came before you and
vanished. Did they unwittingly disturb ancient spirits and fall victim
to an age-old curse?"

Two new rides will welcome visitors in Adventure Port in 2023, the first of which is Sol Spin, pictured above. The attraction will be located to the left of the entrance to Adventure Express, and is one of Zamperla's
Endeavour rides - a modern take on the classic Enterprise style ride. Sol Spin will represent a giant sun disk created by an ancient civilization, with riders feet dangling freely as they spin up to 60 feet in the air at 25 miles per hour.

The second new ride is Cargo Loco, a modern version of the classic spinning teacup ride. The ride has a cute backstory where Arrow Cargo Company promises to get your freight from point A to B, but with a lot of spinning and twisting in between. Like the other attractions and shops in Adventure Port, the Cargo Loco looks to come with a nice amount of theming.

Those looking for some food and drink while exploring Adventure Port will be happy to find The Mercado, a large establishment that will welcome tons of visitors at a time. Whether looking for a bit to eat, some light shopping or some beverages and rest, the Mercado will offer a variety of options.

Another new dining establishment within Adventure Port is Enrique's. The brightly colored outlet will offer visitors local cuisine including "traditional burritos, burrito bowls, tacos, salads and sides."

Possibly the most exciting change coming along with this expansion is a set of improvements coming to Adventure Express, an Arrow Dynamics mine train that opened in 1991. The ride was already repainted before the 2022 season, but for 2023 it will feature a brand new themed entrance (seen above), a changed queue area and additional theming.
