italianchef Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Yesterday I went to the park with my wife and son. It was super-crowded. Never had I see such long lines to the rides, to get photographed with SpongeBob, or even use the bathroom. All we ended up doing was riding the Kings Island & Miami Valley Railroad to purchase clothes at Boomerang Bay. Ironically there were few people there - but we didn't bring our bathing suites! Hence, we left the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welchce Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 That many people on a Thursday? I've been multiple times on Thursdays and it's never been overly crowded. I guess it has to deal with school starting soon so people are rushing to the park to get some last minute fun in. I'm sorry to hear you had to leave.

pkifreakhogg Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Ya the park was super packed last night. Very nice out though. Rode SOB and Firehawk and then it was 10:00 pm. We didn't get there until 6:30 though. What was up with Dropzone? It was stuck about a 1/4 of the way up when we got there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKIVortex Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I think he meant 8/18 and not 8/16. As he said yesterday. And yes Friday was DEAD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Attack! Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I don't know what was up with Drop Zone it was really weird, the ride was up and down all day and at like 8 or so the seats were 1/4 of the way up and one side of cables was really slacked and looked like no weight was on it while the other side was tight. The park was quite packed and quite honestly the most crowded I have ever seen it this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italianchef Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 Sorry I meant 8/18 Saturday. It was so packed yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Mouse Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I was there too. It was the day of the Weird Al concert, which was GREAT, by the way. And alot of the schools are going back this week. I'm heading down on Tues for couple hours and I'm hoping it'll be dead so I can get in lots of rides. This will be my last trip till mid-October for Fearfest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James78 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 The park was packed, it took me forever to find a parking space. I was there for the Weird Al concert. I saw at least one person I know from here at the metal detectors. I only got to ride Racer and the the Zephyr then it was time for the show. Which was just as well. I'll be there again on Tuesday as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I don't know what was up with Drop Zone it was really weird, the ride was up and down all day and at like 8 or so the seats were 1/4 of the way up and one side of cables was really slacked and looked like no weight was on it while the other side was tight. The park was quite packed and quite honestly the most crowded I have ever seen it this year Drop Zone was locked in the position that it was in to block the view of the Timberwolf from the tower so people couldn't just stand up there and get a free show. I'm not sure why that cable was slacked, however the ride did return to a home position close to close. Then again, it was down on Sunday and the catch car was paused about 3/4 the way to the top, yet the carriage was at the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
