Kings Adventure is an amusement park located in Binghamton, New York. It is a sister park to Kings Paradise, Kings Island, and Kings Dominion.
History[]
After the success of their first park Kings Paradise, the Anders family opened a second park called King Adventure in 1974 as Adventureland. However, unlike its counterpart this park didn't have as much success and was sold to Funtime Parks Inc. in 1978. In 1994, the park was sold to Six Flags and renamed "Six Flags New York". In 2006 the park was sold along with several other properties and bought by Cedar Fair.
