Kentucky Kingdom gave us exclusive early access to the park before opening so we could film POV and on-ride footage with the entire park completely empty. No crowds. No lines. Just us, the rides, and two hours to capture as much as we could.
This was such a unique opportunity, and we’re incredibly grateful to Kentucky Kingdom for inviting us in and letting us experience the park in a way most guests never get to see!
A quick note: All ride footage in this video was filmed with Kentucky Kingdom’s permission and under their direction during our exclusive early access time before the park opened. Please never attempt to film on a ride with your phone or any unauthorized camera. Loose articles on coasters can be dangerous, and always follow the park’s rules and instructions.
In this video, you’ll see us racing against the clock to film as many rides as possible before opening, capturing on-ride POV footage you normally won’t see, and exploring what it’s like to have an entire theme park to yourself before the first guests arrive.
This is Part 1 of our full Kentucky Kingdom 4th of July weekend adventure. After our early morning exclusive access, we stayed in the park until close: 14 hours total!
And because – what’s a blog post without photos – here are just a few (these are a mix of iPhone snaps & photos taken with my “big” camera).
