CP&LERR Fan Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 We decided that we would either go to Kings Island or Kenny wood. I like both of them but I would like to go to Kings Island. I haven't been there since 2004 or 2005 I really don't remember cause it's been so long. If I do go what ride should I ride? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcgoble3 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 If I do go what ride should I ride? What, you think you can only ride one ride? Seriously, ride them all. Don't let someone's negative opinion of a ride keep you from riding it and forming your own opinion. Ride everything for yourself, then make your own judgments. Also be aware that the park closes at 8:00 pm that day and there will be no fireworks. On the bright side, crowds will likely be almost non-existent, meaning that you'll have plenty of time to ride everything multiple times. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride On_17 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Definitely be sure to ride The Beast and Diamondback! Firehawk and Flight of Fear are fun ones too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire-Beast-OF FEAR Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Ride these rides in this order and you should be set to ride anything after lunch. 1. Firehawk 2. Flight of Fear 3. Vortex 4. Beast 5. Diamondback 6. Drop Tower Unless you have a platinum pass just switch 4 and 5 with 1 and 2 if you can do ERT. I can assume you're going to ride the train but check out Racer(Both sides) in the second to last seat and the front for ejector airtime. Adventure Express is a must too and is easily the best mine train I've been on. Flight Deck is a very intense ride in the very front and very back, it is the closest ride as forces go to Maverick at Kings Island. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark6495 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 i have gone to KI one time in the last 5 years.... does that make me any worse as an enthusiast? I say go to the park. Enjoy it all! If you have time, check out the shows. They are always great. Ed Alonzo was surprisingly awesome last year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 If you have time, check out the shows. They are always great. Ed Alonzo was surprisingly awesome last year! The show schedule I have is only valid through August 11, so be prepared for the possibility that some shows may have wrapped up for the season by the 15th.

malem Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Ed Alonzo's summer show ends on August 18. I don't know whether there will be shows on weekdays during the week of the 12th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean the KI&MVRR, they generally run two trains during waterpark hours and one train when the waterpark is closed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ride On_17 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 That actually sounds like a cool idea. I don't think I've ever seen anyone do a video trip report. Pictures, yes, but a narrated video instead of paragraphs and paragraphs of written discriptions, no. I'll be looking forward to it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnofthedead Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Just remember you can not use video recording devices such as cell phones on rides. This is just my opinion but I suggest; Ride Diamondback very front and very back. The Beast, ride is better in middle of any car. Vortex sit in 5th car 1st seat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medford Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Several schools in this area started school today, crowds might be very light, meaning you might be able to get multiple rides on pretty much anything you want. What you ride is pretty much up to you, Even on a busy day, you can usually fit everything in if you're there the whole day. If you're only there part of the day, then you've got to trim things back to fit what you enjoy. I'll assume the train is a must for you, and since you haven't been since 2004/05, I'd say Diamondback and Firehawk are must since they weren't installed then (perhaps Firehawk, time is slipping away and that might have been there then, or you may have ridden it at Geuga Lake in its previous setting). Then get on things that are unique to Kings Island, The Beast is a natural in this catagory, Invertigo is a dime a dozen, those are all over the country and thus can be easily skipped if your crunched for time. Have fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medford Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Just got back from Triple A and got the tickets. How much did you pay? Just courious, there are $31.99 coupons all over town lately advertising the breast cancer awareness thing going on at KI w/ the ticket discount. Hopefully you didn't pay more than that.

homestar92 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I'll be there tomorrow. Don't know what I'll be wearing, but if you see a tall white guy with glasses, feel free to say Hi! Odds are I'll wear my Vortex, Banshee, Holiday World, or Carowinds shirt. All of my other coaster shirts are black. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitfire Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I might be out there for a few hours tomorrow later in the day. No clue what I'll be wearing yet, but if I see someone filming, I'll come say hi! Definitely ride what's been installed since your last time there, and anything you particularly liked from your previous visit(s). Get in the rides you really want first, so you'll have plenty of time to meander around the park for other rides, maybe some of the flats - that would give you a well rounded day. But really, it all comes down to just spending your day the way you want to, so ride what you want and have a blast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcgoble3 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Medford: Vekoma inverted boomerangs are not a dime a dozen. There are only three in the world. So there's only two and a half cents worth of them out there? That's about the maximum I would pay to ride one if it was on a pay-per-ride system. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
