Way less*

My bad about Vortex, I saw the track design and assumed it was Vekoma. You know what they say when u make an assumption. I didn't find Banshee to be super disorienting, but I just didn't care for the relentless inversions without a break. I find Raptor to be way unless disorienting and I find a lift hill of about Raptors 137 scale or even less like Great Bear to be perfect for these types of rides if your not going to have slow downs on the rides. I still did enjoy Banshee with that being said though. Thanks for the replies everyone.

I went mostly to ride Ride Diamondback and Banshee. I was slightly interested in Beast, just for the hype around it. Me personally, I've never rode a woodie I liked. Unfortunately I still haven't either after Beast. I just hate how rough and shaky wooden rides are. I find zero enjoyment in it. That and Shivering Timbers are the best wooden rides I've ever rode I guess though. Diamondback however knocked my socks off. That ride is spectacular. Wow. Now on to Banshee. That is one of the best looking rides with the station I've ever seen. It's awesome looking. Unfortunately the ride didn't match it. While I liked it, I didn't love it. Huge blow. It wanted to love it and be blown away. It just was a letdown. The problem to me was the same problem Alpengeist has and that it's TO fast for a inverted coaster. There's no breaks at all really. You fly through constant inversions relentlessly and never get a breather. Just to much imo, has for the rest of the coasters, I didn't expect much and I was right. Firehawk was decent and the rest were your crap. Vortex and Invertigo were your typical crappy old Vekoma corkscrew rides. I can't even remember the rest honestly. I know it sounds negative but I did enjoy myself for one visit. I wouldn't go back til they got better coasters or flats though. Thanks for reading everyone.

I totally forgot about the free military weekend. I think its great Cedar Fair is doing that for our troops. It pretty much seals the deal for me though, I'm definitely not going this weekend. It's going to be busy enough, let alone all the free admission for the past and present military men and women.

Yea I'm leaning towards that way. The Fast Lane pass prices are just so much, I can't bring myself to pay an extra 160 just for the day for 2 people.

This weekend me and the wife are deciding if we want to go to CP or KI Saturday or Sunday. I know it's going to be busy both days for sure, but which one will be less busy and for those of you who's been to one of the parks on Memorial Day weekend, what kind of waits can I expect? Thanks for the help! Ride On!

Thanks for all the info everybody. Good stuff to know. Also at CP you don't get the discount at Panda Express so I'm assuming it's the same at KI. To bad. I'd love to go there for lunch with my discount.

Thanks so much for the reply. Good to know I get the 10% discount on food and merchandise too.

I'm taking my first trip to KI in early June and I have a Platinum Pass for CP, whats the perks at KI with one? Is it the same as CPs perks? Thanks for the help!
