Hello KI Central. For summer vacation, I'm taking a spin around the area's coaster parks. This will be my first time to KI, and I'm looking forward to finally checking it out after all these years. I appreciate your tips to maximize my limited time at the park.
That late in the season, what kind of maximum waits should I expect? I can come by on Sunday or Monday. Since I don't expect to make it back for quite a while if at all, I'd like to get on each of the coasters and if all goes well, grab re-rides on the best ones. Especially Diamondback.
I've been reading the big debate about Fast Lane. For a once in a lifetime visit, the difference between waiting 30 or even 20 minutes and hopping on after 5 or 10 is a huge one. On Monday the park is open from 10 (well, 9:30 for Plat Pass) to 8 pm. What's the chance I'll get one of those dream days, when most lines are station waits and it's possible to breeze through the park in a few relaxing hours? By the way, if you come to my home thrill park Magic Mt, that's one of the best weeks of the year. Most of the local schools are already in session, yet the park still has daily operation. X2 wait times get as low as 10-15 minutes. Unheard of!
Finally, if anyone here can weigh in about Cedar Point that same week, it would be awesome. CP is open 11-9, the first week with shorter hours. Will the big four still develop those slow, hour plus lines? I hope not!
Thanks for reading, and if you ever come out west, it would be my pleasure to return the favor.
