Spirit Song Fest

The show was awesome! The venue was great. My seat, however, was right behind a huge sign for the seating area, so not so great......all of my photos have a huge #4 in them :(

This was me and the kids first concert amazing experience the only downside when the concert started everyone jumped up and the kids couldn't really see so we went to the very back of the venue perfect lots of empty seats full view of the stage

There were four artists each day. The closing act had more time and therefore did a fancier show with smoke and lights.

The big name bands were awesome as usual! This was our 4th or 5th year, and while we were really happy with the bands we saw, we really missed some old favorites like Hawk Nelson, Skillet, and Kutless.

Spirit Song was an outstanding event...very uplifting....will never forget ! Even tho it rained Thursday and Friday, the bands played on and most of the crowd stayed and still attended! All of the music was great. Castling Crowns was priceless on Friday night. On Saturday Toby Mack was awesome- and even tho I am an older gal and not into rap Toby Mack was absolutely adored by the youth and gave an oustanding performance.

The bands were really good although I was not a fan of the hard rock. The only thing I would change would be requiring u showing your ticket every time u reentered. The stamp should be satisfactory. Other than that, loved it

Chris Tomlin has an amazing gift of leading people into the presence of God. Toby Mac is an incredible man of talent as an artist an entertainer. What a great combo of very different styles to come together to praise the one, true God. Then, they team up at the end with fireworks going off behind us. It, just like our God, was indescribable!!!!

Awesome concert series- Great lineup of artists- The only thing that should have been changed is that The David Crowder band should have been the headline act- Not Casting Crowns. CC did a great job as well, but Crowder definitely puts on a much better show......

All the acts were on time or ahead of time. And all the acts we watched were phenomenal. Such an uplifting event.

Thursday: Family Force 5 (a new group for me) had a great beat but screamed all the lyrics so could not tell what they were singing. Friday was great with David Crowder and Casting Crowns (my favorite group)!! Saturday was great!!! Chris Tomlin's music is my favorite praise and worship music and he definitely brought it!! Toby had us dancin and rockin. He was the best.

This year made my second time to Spirit Song and I plan on attending next year already!! I was instantly hooked on this wonderful event which allows Christians from all different denominations to gather together focusing on the main point of all Christianity... and that is the Father-God, Son, & Holy Spirit!! I truly enjoyed myself and the great fellowship with so many wonderful, God-filled spiritual people!!!! The artist were so fabulous in their ability to lead in an amazing musical worship to praise the Lord uplifting his name in a public place. What a great God we serve and are blessed beyond measure to be able to gather together in the name of our wonderful Lord and Savior!!!!!!! I would have a difficult time choosing only one favorite performer, so I will name a few. I enjoyed Brandon Heath, Third Day, David Crowder Band, Casting Crowns, Chris Tomlin, and Toby Mac!!

It was an AMAZING event! It was packed but you didn't feel crammed and the artists played even when it was down pouring (which felt good anyways!) it was DEFINITELY something I would do again next year because the prices were VERY reasonable. And if an artists was playing that you did not like or did not know you were RIGHT there in the park to go walk around or ride rides, AMAZING event!!

The concert was amazing. It was so nice to be surrounded by people who love God.

It was so inspirational. I am always amazed by the conviction of those artist to minister and pour out such love to the audience glorifying God. I look forward to it every year and would not miss it!

loved all 3 days! Worship was incredible..all the bands were fantastic! Loved how some of the bands stayed after and we were able to get pics and autographs. Only thing I would change is that the speakers went way too long and I noticed lots of the crowd not paying much attention--if they kept it to 10 mins tops I think they would have held the crowds interest more. Def well worth the price since it included admission to Kings Island plus the water park

The concert was great, the music inspiring and the worship service was AWESOME.

I attended the Friday and Saturday shows. Overall okay show. I did not watch all of the artists, but by far Chris Tomlin was the best! He delivered more of a praise and worship experience, not a concert. His show was great! 5 stars! I wish he performed the entire show. I also liked how Mark Hall from Casting Crowns, preached a bit.

Brandon Heath was amazing, love his voice. My husband wanted more of David Crowder Band. My daughter and I danced our legs off to all the bands. Praising the Lord through the music of Casting Crowns was a life changing moment.

The entire event was amazing, I especially liked Abandon, Family Force Five, Third Day and David Crowder Band. The sound was great and the witness and ministry of the bands was much needed and appreciated.

There was a good variety of music offered! We really enjoyed all the music. The event was well organized, this was my third year at Spirit Song and I will definitely be back!

David Crowder Band and Casting Crowns were amazing!! David Crowder came out ready to worship and Casting Crowns came out with the message. One of the best events I have been to.

The line up was amazing! Both days unforgettable! Thousands of Christians worshiping together, singing, dancing and expreincing God. The speakers were great they spoke the Word in simple down to earth style. The bands were amazing mixing fun songs of rejoice with song filled with stories of struggle. Third day and Casting crownes had amazing sets. The smaller bands such as abandon and anthem light were great as well and I enjoyed every band. David crowder band was amazing and the presence of God was unmistakable. Terrific event, I would recommend it to everyone.

The rainbow of the David Crowder band Friday is and will always be a reminder to us at how POWERFUL God is and how truly blessed we are!

We drove from Tampa,FL to get to Spirit Song 2010 and it was worth the drive. We've enjoyed Timberwolf amphitheater, and all the bands. The venue, music and MC have been great. We're looking at Spirit Song as an annual event!

This was the second time I have attended Spirit Song at Kings Island and both times were awesome experiences. There is something about being together with that many people all just to Praise our Lord and Saviour. My only wish is that it happened more often than once a year...we should hold it more times throughout the year!!!

The concerts were great, and couldnt have been at a better location! We will definitely go again!

We really enjoyed the Spirit Song Christian concert at Kings Island this year. With only two exceptions. 1. I really like a lot of bass but the bass at this concert was so overwhelming that is actually caused discomfort in my chest as well as some of our youth from the huge wave of bass hitting us. It wasn't like we were right of front of the stage either. We were back at least 14 rows. 2. As a Christian, the only group that I wouldn't recommend is Family Force 5. I could detect little to no Christian based lyrics in their music. It was party this and party that. The lead singer even told of a story of someone who had to ask them if they were a Christian singing group. It should be obvious if you are a Christian singing group and people shouldn't even have to ask.

What is there to say? The show was amazing, the employees were helpful and friendly and I would go back in a heartbeat!

very nice..... great place to have a concert... it was hot all day so the earlier concerts was hard to stand there in the heat.... but by 9 pm when Third Day came on... it was nice out. Can't wait to see Casting Crowns and Toby Mac....

I will never miss this concert series again. What a night of praise and worship!

This was the first big Christian concert I have ever been to. It was AMAZING! I LOVED Kutless & Third Day! This year will have an incredible lineup, but I am sad that Kutless will not be there. Third Day, Casting Crowns, & Tobymac headliners for the 3 days...AWESOME! This is a great family event, and for the price you cannot beat it. We will be there all 3 days this year! If you're into more of a Southern Rock type thing Thursday is your day (Third Day) If you're into a more Praise & Worship type thing Friday is your day (Casting Crowns), or if you're more into Hip Hop/Rock your day is Saturday (Tobymac).

Love it! It"s the best deal for a Christian Concert event of this caliber!...Not to mention, you can spend the first part of the day at the waterpark or on the rides! Great day of fun for the whole family!! =D

13 Christian Artists, a great host, lots of good Christian fellowship, a terrific amusement park and a great price!!! Best 3 Days Ever!!!

Spirit Song is awesome ! My issues are with Ticketmaster and their process of purchasing tickets . I was sold the wrong tickets and had to buy more tickets when we arrived at Kings Island !! Not happy about that at all !!

Shows were outstanding will be going again next year

We are messengers was definitely the best, you could tell they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

Worth every minute. Will do it many more times. Great time

Amazing event. Price and performances were excellent!

This concert was awesome!! I loved our seats, the view and loving that it was at an amusement park!!!

Very inspiring! Great talent devoted to glorifying God vs. entertaining! Beautiful music and lyrics!

The artists were wonderful and we met many nice people!

Great price for the number of bands that are there, and the amphitheater works really well for it. Fun for the whole family.

Even though it rained the majority of the evening, we were able to celebrate God's love and grace with Big Daddy Weave and Mercy Me, among others. Saturday was spectacular, with Crowder singing many new songs we'd not been privy to prior to that day. All-in-all, the best three-day Christian concert series going, and our ninth year attending attests to its excellence!

Hit it out of the park. Fantastic. Better every year

This was our first time to attend Spirit Song and it was absolutely incredible! We had a fun on the rides during the day and enjoyed great music at night! TobyMac was awesome!

The concert was absolutely amazing, and getting to spend three days at an amusement park/water park was loads of fun as well. It can easily be a family vacation as well, however I just went with my boyfriend and we both had a great time. It rained for some of time but it was definitely worth sitting in the rain for.

Love the concert! Would like to select my seat I am paying for.

Love this festival! Kids went for the first time and are ready for next year.

Great crowd. Everyone soooo nice. Performers on time and great shows!!! Park is fun for all ages!!!

The whole 3 day concert was great and you had the park to go to all day.

We went Thursday and saw Mercy Me, even though it was raining it stopped and ended up being so nice. Big Daddy Weave was also wonderful. It was the first time we saw him and it was great. So on Friday Toby Mac played and we have seen him several times but each time it's amazing. Can't wait for next year.

Excellent may to spend sometime as family!!!! All artists were incredible!!!!

Not enough restrooms or food trucks for the amount of people. The line up was fantastic! Ticket prices were great!

The seats were the most uncomfortable benches. Sitting in the rain I did not have a problem with. The problem was numbering of the seats too close and not being able to rest your back against something. I had never been to a concert at Kings Island and for that price in addition to getting in the park was quite expensive. As much money as Kings Island makes for each customer they need to STEP it Up and put a covering over the seats for the rain as well as different seating with backs for elderly and handicapped persons. Quality --- I went to Joy Fest in North Carolina and there was covering on some of the seating, as well as backs to the chairs. Sitting for 4 hours affected my body for days afterwards.

The artist lineup was the best and made for a very memorable three days for me and my teenage son. Spirit Song is the best!

The whole event was awesome. I absolutely loved Mercy Me and Toby Mac.

Best concert by far. Most uplifting! Great collection of bands.

Every year has been great! I have been going since 2009. My husband has been going since 1999

The concert was great. It started on-time and stayed on schedule, which is pretty amazing. All of the artists were good, but Rend Collective and Toby Mac took it up a notch. The only negative is the venue parking, handicapped parking needs to increase.

Event great. Security ruined it for my kids and me

Every year Spiritsong has been great. We love going

Rend Collective and Toby Mac were incredible! They made the crowd feel special and gave an amazing performance. My 11 year old grandson loved Toby Mac and Tedashii.

Totally awesome! Everything I thought it would be and more! This was the first time I saw Skillet live, and I cannot WAIT for Winter Jam!

What a fantastic weekend of music, worship, and just some good old fashion fun. Fun for the family of all ages.

wondeful event, great entertianment for the whole family!

This event was great for our youth group. Incredible lineup of great Christian Bands with roller coasters in between. We will return next year :)

This was the first Spirit Song event I have ever been to and it was AMAZING! We as Human, Tenth Avenue North, and Skillet were the best! I've never hear Petra or Matthew West and I was surprised at how much I liked their music. We as Human and Skillet Rocked the house! Tenth Avenue North was good as always and the lead singer was funny and inspirational! I have to admit John Cooper from Skillet was inspirational as well, but he just blew my mind with his singing! Skillet's set was over the top awesome. I was very surprised as how much I loved to watch We as Human...Justin rocked and made me want to rock with him. I didn't know the words to any of the songs, but I felt like I knew them. The message was almost like it was geared to me. I got to meet, get autographs, and a picture from We as Human...Justin, Jake, and Justin are great guys and took their time with everyone of us. I wasn't able to meet Tenth Avenue North or Skillet, but that was my own fault. Next time I will make it a point to meet them also. This event was a must see, which I had gotten tickets for the entire event which lasted three days. I am so sore from rocking the house, not sure I would have made it, but I would have tried! :)

Skillet is a rocking band for Jesus I lived it just wish my battery on my phone would have lasted longer :(

Great lineup of artists over three days who all do a wonderful job of putting on a a superb show. The price is right especially considering that you get to play in the amusement park, included in t ticket cost. Great vendors. Food/drink somewhat pricey but the water prices came down since last year if you buy 4 at a time (4 for $10). Park opens early for play time and then concerts start later on in day (4:00 p.m. this year). Time in between shows to shop, take a break, get food...but not so much time that it's boring. Nice MC, very funny. Good speakers, although we tend to get dinner at that time. CONS: Summer, full sun exposure on most seats for most of day, metal benches, spaces for each peson marked off on benches in such a way that it seems easy to end up in someone else's space. They must think we all have small butts because by the headliners, people are crammed together tightly. No room for dancing. This year they had it two weeks early which made me think it would be cooler but ti was 100 degrees. OTHER: We found that it is nice to get a hotel in the area. That way we don't have to drive an hour to Dayton afterwards when it is late and we're tired. Also the kids can go over early and my husband and I can chill in room, see a movie, eat, sleep in, whatever. BOOK HOTEL EARLY! Also, close seats go fast so you have to stay on the ball to know when they are going on sale and buy quickly, even before they may have announced all artists or days they are performing. When we had a weather emergency this year, evacuation was calm and quick. Very impressed with how they handled that. OVERALL: We will be there again next year for our 11th year!

This concert was unforgettable! I went for the first two days and enjoyed them both immensely. I originally bought the tickets to take my friend for her birthday, even though concerts aren't really my thing. I knew she was excited about seeing Switchfoot, and she said it was everything she hoped and more. She couldn't stop talking about it! My only regret about the first day was not having her meet Switchfoot's band members. The second day was interrupted by storms and I was disappointed that I didn't get to see Royal Tailor. However, Owl City and TobyMac more than made up for that. I love Owl City's quirky humor and awesome stage presence. The music is harder in concert than on recording. Where do I begin with TobyMac? I've lost track of his music in the past few years, and I was nervous about whether I'd even enjoy it, but to my surprise, he sang a lot of his older songs. He also put on a wonderful light/dance show, and I sang along and danced and screamed myself hoarse! I began the trip thinking I didn't enjoy concerts and left determined to experience more! Thank you!

It's Biblical - where two or more are gathered in His name. I went to hear Chris Tomlin and as a result I heard several other bands with a positive message that I will now seriously consider adding to my music collection along with Chris Tomlin's music. I was also touched by the messages that were shared by the designated speaker of the evening as well as that of some of the band members from the stage to the crowd. What a night of awesome worship to the true King of Kings Island and the rest of the world - the Lord our God. I hope that the whole park was filled our praises as we llifted up our savior.

skillet was awesome. I'm making plans to see them live again soon. Overall Spirit Song was awesome. I would definately love to go again next year! :)

Absolutely fantastic! As hot as the weather was, it was nothing compared to what was coming from the stage. Great fun for the entire family with different styles of music. After experiencing all three days of the festival, the best description that I can offer is that I went away inspired, both musically and spiritually. There is nothing like worshiping and raising praise to God with such a large crowd.

Spirit Song is so worth the money! Where else do you get to see Skillet, Red, Disciple, Family Force 5, and Newsboys?

Spirit Song 11 was unbelievable! What a moving experience! While there are drawbacks to the venue, the festival itself was just phenomonal!! The bands had really great sets, not too short. The closing band each night did full sets. There were interesting booths set up all around full of Christian material. All radio stations were there. Plus, the fest did a great job of entertaining between sets. The guest speaker each night was really good too, especially Bob Lentz! Great experience, will do it next year!

What a sight! Thousands of Christians gathered at an amusement park, hands lifted, praising God, with several terrific Christian groups performing! I am so glad I got to be a part of it!

It was a great experience seeing several of the artists and bands play music. The venue was great and enjoyed it!

My daughter and I had a great time. Music was excellrnt! Friendly people next to us. Food and restrooms nearby.

Absolutely loved it; hope to go every year!! Great atmosphere, and all ages there just enjoying themselves!! Only suggestion would be to make it easier to find what bands are performing on what days. It was very hard to find a venue.

We attended Saturday only of Spirit Song. We had an incredible day. Trala was a new treat. John Crist was a crack-up. Zach Williams was amazing - AGAIN. Crowder was jaw-droppingly good. We knew him, but this was our first live experience with him and it will not be our last. For King and Country is the reason we came and they didn't disappoint! They are the most entertaining act in the Christian market from their energy to their light show to their interaction with the crowd. We got a little rain, but nothing significant. Overall a fantastic day at Timberwolf!

Was an absolutely spirit filled weekend. We left with a full heart and blessed by God.

We loved enjoying the park all day and then having the concert at night. For King and Country was phenomenal!

First time going to Kings Island for a concert. Loved it! Rode Rollercoasters until concert started, then praised God for 3 hrs. People don't realize what they are missing when they stay home. Your faith is revived, plus u get out of doors and enjoy yourselves. I'm 54 yrs. old, and my sis is 48, so age is NO EXCUSE. Get off your butt and go out amongst the masses. Spread the Grace of God to all. We rode every rollercoaster in the park. Slight headache after The Beast, but it is a "must ride". Gets u revved up for the concert. Recommend to all. It even rained a little bit, no big deal.

It was an amazing time of praise and worship. Will definitely be returning next year.

The show was amazing. I only wish it was longer. The artist put on an amazing show.

The show was amazing. The seats could be better but it is great for an out door concert.

Enjoyed the whole concert on Thursday. It rained all day but stopped when Big Daddy Weave came on. We are Messengers really impressed me. It was my first time hearing them. I enjoy the concerts for Spirit Song. Where else can you get an entrance into a theme park, and enjoy a Spirit filled weekend at such a reasonable price.

Absolutely loved it!! All of the artists were amazing!!!

We really enjoyed the bands at Spirit Song. Big Daddy Weave and of course Mercy Me was our favorite. I didn't enjoy the idea that we were not under cover from the rain and we sat on bleacher seating which was very uncomfortable. We would have enjoyed the concert in a much more comfortable setting but the concert and all the bands were great.

My wife and I have been coming to Premier events at Cedar Fair parks for 5 years now. Each event is great and this year left nothing to be desired. 17 Christian artists in an amusement park with thousands of fans over 3 days. What's not to love? The weather held out for the most part (a few rain showers in the beginning) We will be back next year!

The weather could not dampen a great time. We are Messengers and mercyme were outstanding.

Great time to be with fellow believers and just praise God.

It was an amazing, unforgettable, inspirational experience! We will be back!

If PKI would be some type of covering/awning over the theatre it would be much more comfortable! The heat was nearly unbearable with the sun beating directly on the crowd.

The price we paid for what we got was amazing. The bands were so good and all three days we got admission to the park!

Loved everything about this event. The only problem is there is no covering over the seats. No shade. Very high temperatures. Carowinds amphitheater has covered seating. Everything else definitely a 10.

Simply outstanding!!!! Not huge fans of every group, but the Lord was praised by all and that's what is important! We will definitely try to attend this again next year!

My daughters and I are always looking for great deals for the summer! This was by far a highlight of our summer! Toby Mac and for King and country were the BEST! We had so much fun!! Thank you so so much! Ps. Friday night we stayed until closing from concert. If you stay until the concert ends be prepared to spend a lot of time in the parking lot and have patience. Took about two hours to get out of the parking lot due to traffic. So buy or bring entertainment! :)) but so worth it!

Spirit Song was an awesome experience! There was a great variety of bands which made it enjoyable for many different people! It was wonderful to see a crowd full of worshippers singing praises in their own way yet together! I do wish Casting Crowns could have done their usual encore but I understand the time constraints in a park that has a closing time!!

It was amazing!!!!!!!! I have brought my family to this for several years, it is so wonderful. I hope to go back next year!
