Looks cool! It's free too! -
Thanks for the help, goodyellowkorn182, We all have Season Passes, and one of our friends is moving out of state, and Thursday was there only available date. I have been to the park once where it was just raining, no lightning/thunder, and the park was absolutely empty, so hopefully we can have a good time.
Thanks again!

This Thursday, me and some of my friends were planning to stay at the park all day, one of my friends mom is reluctant about letting him go.

From seeing this it looks like there will just be rain, but I have absolutely no idea. Any Help?
Thanks

As it was a very sunny hot day, and it was Memorial Day, we expected the park to be extremely crowded, but as the day went on it, it wasn't too bad. We got into the water park at 10:40 and headed to the wave pool to get some good seats, but as it turns out, almost every single seat was taken, so we sat elsewhere. The lines in the water park were not bad at this time, as we got some time in the wave pool, and walk-ons for Down Under Thunder, Sydney Sidewinder, and Snowy River Rampage.
We then headed to the park and as we entered the main gates, a woman asked us if we wanted to write a letter to the Military, which we did accept. Me and my family were EXTREMELY impressed with this, Kudos to you Kings Island.
As we were already completely dry, and it was still blazing hot out, we headed for Congo Falls, which I have never had to wait in a line for. Today was no different, it was still a walk-on ride. After this we headed for Flight Deck (which looked amazing with its new paint job) and this was also a walk-on ride. I also noticed that there was music playing in the station, I haven't remembered it to have done this last year, but I may be wrong.
We then went and ate at the new Potato Works in Coney Mall, and then rode The Racer, which was walk-on. That ride never dissapoints.
For our last ride, we decided to choose the Crypt which wasn't too bad, maybe a 15 minute wait. The queue seemed to have some new theming, (Ex: Wooden entrances at the last two rooms of the queue.) but the ride itself was nothing new.
Overall it was good, but very hot, day.
EDIT: We also got a ride on Adventure Express

So last night, I went to Halloween Haunt for the first time. The lines were unbelievable! As soon as we got there, we got in line for Urgent Scare and that was all we did all night because lines were 3-4 hours long! What I want to know is, is Haunt always like this, or was it just that night?
The closer it gets to Halloween, the busier the Haunts will get. I have gone the past 3 Friday nights with attendance increasing at each one. You will find, however, that after about midnight the park starts to clear out, leaving the lines for Haunts much shorter and the lines for some rides virtually nonexistant. Just my experiences. I've yet to go to a Saturday haunt
Thank You, last night, we left about 9:30 because the lines were so bad and there was nothing to do
I hope you enjoyed Urgent Scare even though you had to wait.
Trust me, Urgent Scare was GREAT! I was hoping to ride The Beast that night too, but we had already left. The next time we're going is the 30th.

According to the map, yes, this is the Son of Beast haunt. (Does anyone else think Kings Island looks like a shriveled, sick, boring version of itself when Boomerang Bay, Planet Snoopy, and half of Action Zone are missing?)
where do you find this map?
It's not on the haunt website, is it?
-
Is this the supposed Son of Beast haunt?
I'm guessing it is due to the post right above this.
-
It seems like just yesterday we were posting trip reports of opening day, where have the days gone?
-
I was there from 6 to 10 and rode Boo blasters and shake rattle and roll. thats all
-
For all of you that were at the WindSeeker press conference or watched it online, did you notice them say a new haunt this year?
-

Some enthusiasts said on fan sites that they were disappointed not to see a new roller coaster or a revamped and reopened Son of Beast, but Ryan Frost wasn't one of them."It is a good thing. The park has needed something like this for a long time," he said.
