Will the new coaster be a Vekoma too?

Clearly. The parking lot is more packed than any other time of year. I would just personally rather have 6 or 7 houses that take 15 mins or so to get through then 10 houses that average 2 mins each. But to each his own. Long haunts have spoiled me. I still go to KI either way.

I have been to HHN Orlando a few times myself as well (#22 thru 26). While I agree, the haunts production level are amazing and longer than the ones at KI. HHN is just over crowded now to the point that 26 wasn't as enjoyable and i am taking a break from our annual HHN trip. Express passes sometimes still lead to hour long waits (better than 3 hours though). I wish KI would embrace the production level of HHN, i know its more expensive but i think 6 or 7 well done houses go much further than 10-12 short houses that are slapped together real fast. Knotts pulls it off pretty well, the other Cedar Fair properties should get the same love. All that said, i am still excited for tomorrow! I hope it is better than last year (last year was a dud).

I am a bit disappointed as well. With a description like "Something went terribly wrong at the Miami River Chemical Company.." I would expect this to be in Rivertown portion of KI near Mystic Timbers. Also, are we down a scare zone as well? I feel like we had 4 last year. Either way, still stoked for opening night tomorrow!! \m/

Ah bummer First we are down a maze and now this!? <shakes fist at the haunt gods> Why do you taunt me KI with no Fright Feast!!?? Still, i am super excited for Friday!!

This was our go to Friday ritual last year. Fright Feast then wander around a bit and utilize that front of line pass (always got the skeleton key room if we chose a haunt that featured this) and repeat the next Friday. We even got a discount with the season meal deal so the fright feast was maybe $5 i think? i forget, but i remember i got a nice discount on that. Maybe it will be back but isn't advertised yet?? Fingers crossed.

Might not be a big deal but, be careful. Sometimes corporations don't like info getting out until its officially announced. I am sure if someone from the company read this they could easily figure out who your friend is and she could get in trouble. Not that she would, that info really shouldn't matter, but some organizations are strict with these things. Side note: Even though its probably not the Antique Cars coming back. I really think it would be cool to turn the Dino path into the new Antique Car track. Wishful thinking.

This looks exciting! https://www.visitkingsisland.com/play/haunt/attractions/wasteland

I too vaguely remember what i thought was more of a raspberry soft serve that was during Hanna Barbera days and i believe it was a limited Snagglepuss flavor as it was kind of pinkish/red to battle the huckleberry blue but this could have all been a dream.

Sounds similar to a scare zone at Halloween Horror Nights 24. It was pretty cool, basically very Poe like masquerade ball. I am excited to see how this turns out! It also, for gamers out there, reminded me of BioShocks masquerade party.

I have seen a few rowdy folks get escorted out of HH and I didn't witness it personally but i was at the park on Black Sunday.

I will pay attention to the sign tonight. I have honestly never looked at it. As for the cup.. I have gone in previous years as well and never received a cup other then the paper one to get refills while in the picnic grove. I am skipping the feast this evening though due to how horrible the food was last Friday. The buns were very dry, like they were left over from the previous week and not stored properly. They just crumbled apart so i had to eat my pulled pork sandwich with a fork (sacrilegious). Beans were cold... probably the best item was the pasta that night. The gift i got at the end of the day was time on the throne...I will go to old faithful (larosas or the burrito spot) tonight and pay attention to that sign as well when i get to the park. Sorry to hear you had a crappy experience. I love rooting for KI but its always a big bummer when these things happen.

Oh that looks like Muttley from the old Wacky Races cartoon in the first photo on stage. Pretty cool find.

the haunt keeps getting better every week.

I think something along the lines of one of Universal Studios style of dark ride would be cool (transformers, spiderman, etc) or a hybrid ride like Disneys 7 dwarfs mine cart or Universals the Mummy would be pretty sweet, though i am sure they are all to expensive for Cedar Fair it would be nice. Peanut themed would be cool or even a Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown ride??

First, congratulations on losing almost 20lbs !!! I was 280+lbs july 15th of this year and have got down to 236 lbs in less than 3 months so far. Its not easy so pat yourself on the back for getting to where you are!! I unfortunately am tall (6'5"~ ) so even if my weight were not an issue most rides are not comfy for me to sit in. I will say The Beast isn't bad but the lap bar on the older rides sometimes caused more issues for me due to my belly then the pull over shoulder restraints did, though they would at times dig into my 'moobs' in a very uncomfortable way. Like mentioned before, The Bat would be ok and Adventure Express as well, though i only rode it once, i enjoyed it and it wasn't to bad a fit in the front row. My only complaint about it was it was just rough in general. Diamondback is also accommodating. Keep up the good work. Stay strong and you can pull it off

I would say hit CarnEvil or Blackout. CarnEvil is more like a funhouse and Blackout is a pitch black maze without many jump scares.

I got lucky i guess. We typically used the FOL pass on Slaughter House and always made it into the SK area. I will pick up a Skeleton Key / Fright Lane pass the 28th since it will probably be way to busy that night anyway. I typically get it 1 night during the haunt season just to experience the Skeleton Key locals we missed. Thanks again for the info. Good to know i have a little luck at something... On a side note: I think it would be nice if they add some Scare-actors wandering the Fright Feast like some other parks do, maybe they will add that next year. We did a similar meal event at Halloween Horror Nights last year that added some scare-actor interaction which was cool. Different parks but still a neat touch.

Thanks for watching!! We are stoked for tomorrow as well I plan on staying later and trying to explore a bit more and include the Fright Feast as well. Thanks again!!

Thanks for the clarification. I figured we just got lucky with the Skeleton Key rooms. Awesome deal though still for just $5 and i did mean the All Season Dining plan. I am getting everything wrong today! I remember they had a dining experience in Madame Fatale's the first year it opened which was pretty cool as well but it was a bit pricey. @thecoastercritic doh I keep referring to Fright Feast as Fear Feast. No beer involved in that one or maybe i would have gotten it right?! My humblest apologies Thanks for the correction!

Found this answer by calling KI...go figure. Its $5.00 for the fear feast if you have the dining plan. That's a pretty decent deal considering you get a front of the line pass you can use at a skeleton key location.

Last Friday while in line to enter the Fear Feast the gentleman at my table mentioned that if you have the All Day Dining Plan it covers the Fear Feast as well. Is this true or some sort of vicious rumor??!! If so then its definitely another plus for the dining plan. *i tried searching some past posts but couldn't find this info. My search skills stink, sorry.

Thanks! You'll have a blast! I will get another video up of this coming weekend and i will try to include some shots of the Fear Feast. Wise choice on the 21st as Fridays are so much better in my opinion. Thanks again for watching and your feedback!!

Thanks for watching and for the feedback!

Well i am one of those parents who let their child go at an early age. My son at the age of about 7, wanted to stay a little longer one saturday to see what the "scary part" was like...as he put it. I was cool with it as i understand the wonder a child has at that age and saw no issue with it as long as he let me know if he wanted to go home or was to scared. We did one or two scare zones and went home. He was happy and proud of himself which gave him confidence which all children need. He had understood since he started trick or treating that its just folks in costumes so it didn't scare him as much i think. That or maybe he let himself enjoy being scared? Either way I always limited what houses or zones he could enjoy (no club blood or hot blooded) until i felt he was mature enough (age 10...i am bad haha). At the age of 10 i took him to Universal Orlando for the Halloween Horror Nights and have gone back every year since. Its become a wonderful Father and Son tradition (My wife hates being scared) that i wouldn't ever want to change. Now at 13 yo we have already collected some wonderful memories. I agree some children are clearly to young and just can't handle it. We don't need to terrorize our children. If your child is mature however, and actually enjoys getting startled and scared then I see nothing wrong with some supervised fun. Supervision is the key though. Either way THIS YEAR IS AWESOME so far at the Haunt and I look forward to our Friday visits!! \m/
