malem Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 From https://www.visitkingsisland.com/things-to-do/events-and-promotions Present your Gold or Platinum season pass and enjoy exclusive night rides on the Banshee and Bat roller coasters, plus experience one of the most popular mazes at Halloween Haunt, Blackout. 10:30 p.m. - Midnight. Additional gold & platinum ERT nights are scheduled in June, July & August on other select attractions. The early Haunt preview certainly is interesting. (Appropriate, perhaps, for a Friday the 13th?) 8 Quote
TombRaiderFTW Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 That is strange. A haunted house in May? I mean, I'll be there if I can help it. I'm definitely interested. I just wonder who they're going to get to staff it, unless there is a plan to make Blackout open year-round? Certainly they wouldn't hire scareactors for one night of the house being open for an hour and a half? They're not planning to open it without scareactors at all, right...?

IBEW_Sparky Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 I will be there for this one, without a doubt. 2 Quote

MDMC01 Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Interesting... hmmm, I might have to do this since I have a Platinum Pass... Bat(!)/Banshee plus a Haunt maze I've not yet explored yet? The question is, will Sam be attending the pre-Haunt festivities? 5 Quote
Italian Job 2005 Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Oh cool one of the ert dates is my birthday Hopefully it's not Friday the 13th. Quote

aandjgoods Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Awww. I definitely want to attend but I have organized a senior trip to Cedar Point on May 13, so I will not be able to go. Quote
dare-to-fly Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 I was looking through the events page. It looks like there are a LOT more events for Gold/Platinum passholders than in previous years. I marked them on my calendar. Looks like a great year! 4 Quote
coasterfanatic83 Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 While going through the calendar and marking these dates, I noticed that all but the first one are on a Thursday night. It seems strange that Kings Island wouldn't host these on Fridays or Saturdays, when a majority of people don't have to get up for work the next morning. Because of these dates, I unfortunately am not sure if I will be able to make it to any of these this year. 1 Quote

There are multiple passholder ERT nights scheduled throughout the year. 3 Quote
dare-to-fly Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 I too thought it was strange when they were planning them. I'm quite certain they know what they're doing, however. 1 Quote
CoasterOhio Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 I think they're doing it just because Friday the 13th is the start of opening day? That's my theory. It makes a good amount of sense too. Quote
KingsIslandJunkie Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 What rides are open on April 15th on the passholder Night Quote
CoasterOhio Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 What rides are open on April 15th on the passholder Night Not really the correct thread for this. But everything should be open (weather permitted. Suppose to be 65 and sunny that day.) Quote
XGatorHead 8904 Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 Interesting... hmmm, I might have to do this since I have a Platinum Pass... Bat(!)/Banshee plus a Haunt maze I've not yet explored yet? The question is, will Sam be attending the pre-Haunt festivities? Sam will not be there, but I may be. That's a busy weekend with lots of things I want to do so my schedule's still up in the air. 3 Quote

You should definitely make sure to be there. 2 Quote
