Sorry you had a bad time, sounds like pretty long lines! I can't believe the DB wait was 90 minutes, the most I've ever waited was around 25 minutes and that was on a crowded Saturday. By the way, based on your username I assume you are from Carrollton, KY. Is that right?

Well we ended up going today....and it was PERFECT!! About 75 degrees with no humidity and the place looked deserted! I walked onto The Beast, Vortex, Flight of Fear, Invertigo, and basically all the non-coaster rides. My wife and daughter rode the Adventure Express 7 times, bringing their AE ride total for the year up to 40. Thanks again for all the suggestions, and a special thanks to Terpy for keeping an eye on the forecast for me!

Thanks Terp! We are keeping an eye on the forecast. Morning showers is the forecast as of right now, so that may be a good thing. Might scare away some potential visitors, thus allowing me two additional rides on the Diamondback! We get our tickets from my workplace, and the way it works is you buy the ticket and you can use the ticket any day that KI is open. So if we get up Friday morning and it looks like rain all day we will just wait and go Saturday. I appreciate all the replies. You guys have been very helpful and courteous to a newbie.

Hmm, seems like Saturday may not be the ideal day to go then. Friday it is!

Thanks for the info! Saturday looks to be a nice, not too hot day so that may be the winner. Wish we could go on actual Labor Day since I've heard that is a pretty empty day as well.

My family was hoping to make one more Kings Island trip this year and Labor Day weekend is the only possible option. I was wondering which day is historically the busiest? We were hoping to go on Friday but can go either Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. Any insight from the KI experts here would be greatly appreciated!
