jdawg1998 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I saw this in my newsletter in my email from Kings Island but have seen no talk about this here on the site or anywhere else: A VIP Preview Weekend for Gold and Platinum season passholders is set for May 19 and 20. Any other word on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastrider97 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I know it's 11 through 7. I will be there, can't wait to experience the new waterpark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Yes, there is a few of BB things at SC, gosh i dont even know what the theme is! Its a GP and PP member VIP showing, i wonder if they will give out towels for free like the opening of Crocodile Dundee's Boomerang Bay!

CoasterGeek101 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 ^^Maybe it is????? The new lazy river doesn't look so lazy anymore does it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 As mentioned in the email, please note that access to Soak City this weekend will be by the parking lot entrance ONLY. There will be no train service to the waterpark, and I presume that the walking path between the Picnic Grove and Soak City will be closed as well.

I was wondering about that, thanks for letting us know!! I get the newsletter but must have missed that. I guess If i wanted to get a ERT ride on Diamondback, I would have to walk all the way around?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can still have the train going if KI does like they do with ert and only let the people with Gold and Platnum Passes ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KingsIslandPR Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 The train will be a way to get to and from Soak City during the VIP Preview Weekend. You will need to show a Gold or Platinum pass to enter Soak City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually hit Congo Falls and White Water Canyon on waterpark days. Nice to know I won't have to walk a half mile from one entrance to the other and back.

CoasterGeek101 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Hey Kings Island, if i enter the park at 9 for a ride on Diamondback (Gold Pass ERT) will I be able to walk to Soak City in time for 10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Considering that the train won't be running yet, it's roughly 1/2 mile from the Main Gate to the Soak City gate. Figure out how long it takes you to walk that distance (about 10–12 minutes for most people) and calculate from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jr for Birdy Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Consider Soak City doesnt open until 11 this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 ^ According to the email I received on May 8, the gate opens at 10:00. Operation doesn't start until 11:00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
