Get ready for one of the most thrilling days of the summer, as
Kings Island does it again with another history-making event on the
Fourth of July.
Thirty-four years ago, in 1974, the late, great legendary high
wire walker Karl Wallenda successfully completed a 1,800-foot skywalk
at Kings Island, setting a world’s distance record. On Independence
Day, park visitors will have an opportunity to witness history as the
grandson of Wallenda, Rick Wallenda, will try to surpass his
grandfather’s famous park feat with two death-defying skywalks at Kings
Island.
Wallenda will first attempt a spectacular skywalk 112-foot above
ground on 5/8-inch cable that will start at the Eiffel Tower, go over
the Royal Fountain (which, by the way, is longer than a football field)
as it shoots 10,000 gallons of water into the air, and end at the
flagpole outside the front gate, covering a total distance of more than
900 feet!
Later in the day, Wallenda will look to make history as he
attempts to walk an incredible distance of 2,000 feet through Coney
Mall – the same location of his grandfather’s feat at Kings Island –
from 75-foot above ground on 5/8-inch cable.
No safety nets or harnesses will be used by Wallenda on either of his skywalks – the only way a Wallenda will perform.
Wallenda’s two skywalks, presented by Cincinnati.com, are scheduled to take place at 2:00pm and 7:00pm.
The Fourth of July at Kings Island will also include a
spectacular air show, sky divers, special appearances by Hanna Barbera
characters and the Clown Band, and the largest fireworks display in the
36-year history of the park.
