Existential Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Anything stupid going on that we should avoid? Been watching the cams and the weekdays have been looking marvelously uncrowded. Any locals advise otherwise? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Go for it! I'll probably be there either Wednesday or Thursday myself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoraX Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Jonathan you should go tomorrow. I am going tomorrow. I know in years past Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays have been excellent days to go. With Banshee being so new, it's going to be interesting seeing if that changes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Existential Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Want to hit the Banshee before the Memorial Day crowds and before school is out. Still waiting for that first ride...coming from C-bus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wednesday shows a chance of storms, while Thursday does not. Thus it is more likely I will go on Wednesday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Existential Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 I'm a little sad I will not get my Banshee or Beast night ride. But if waiting 10 minutes per coaster is the price to pay...the less the merrier. For me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I might go to some amusement park this week, date and location to be determined. I'm a little sad I will not get my Banshee or Beast night ride. But if waiting 10 minutes per coaster is the price to pay...the less the merrier. For me. You might want to return the first week of June, when the park starts to close at 10:00pm, to get those. Make sure to ride Adventure Express at night as well, which is even better after Banshee's lighting package. For future reference, Fridays early in the season are great days to visit. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Existential Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Sadly, in all my years at KI...I have never rode AE at night. Always spent my time at the back of the park at that great coaster. Have heard a lot of noise since coming to this site about AE's night ride. And it's one of my favorite Arrow's ever. This year man... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticsTimber Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I may go tomorrow as well if I can convince my friend to take me after school. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXDrummerKiDXx Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I will definitely be there tomorrow and possibly Thursday! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Having a relaxed day tomorrow, possibly a meet up? (Weather permitting, and no updates from nothing arise) [AND Group permitting, as I usually am tied to the group and I cannot go off with the KIC group often, happens all the time] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevariouseffect Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I won't be making any trips this week I have Indy this coming weekend & some car work to get done before then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoraX Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 BB1 possibly at KI tomorrow? At least say hello if nothing else. I will be there with my son for the first time since 2008 (he's grown, not abandoned at home as his sister and I go play at Kings Island). I know several others will be there as well. Should be a great day for a trip to the park. I won't be making any trips this week I have Indy this coming weekend & some car work to get done before then. I guarantee you will have fun. When are you getting in town? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miythandria Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I went today. The park was not crowded at all. Even with Drop Tower still down and Flight of Fear having trouble, the only line with a real wait was Firehawk. If you go on Wednesday, take care. They are calling for some pretty bad storms, but who knows? I also hope to make it to the park on Friday. Too bad I have a group picnic I need to attend on Thursday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 ^^^ Attending the race? ^^ There's a chance that I will be there (or at Cedar Point) tomorrow. If not, hopefully Wednesday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Existential Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 But there is nothing anyone is aware of going on at the park Thursday? Like buy one get four free Harley bikers Day or anything? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APE Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I took a vacation day from work and will be going tomorrow with the family. Its been a long time since I have been on a weekday. It should be awesome. Storms rolls in late afternoon but I should have plenty of time to get everything in before that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevariouseffect Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Yeah watching Carb Day seeing them in full race setup then theres a concert in the evening. Saturday not sure what all is going on I don't think theres a set schedule probably just more test/tune. Sun is race day..so drinking, speed, sound, 'Merica 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Yeah crowded today, only rode two rides and split. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Existential Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Boo! What is crowded though? Cause 30 minutes for Banshee or Diamondback to a Columbusite is icing man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Existential Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 2.5 hours for Maverick is a punch in the nether regions. Just wondering? ::double posting for the cure BTW:: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 FoF was 30, Beast 60, Banshee looked 15, and many many more waits that were too long for me. Vortex looked short though, the same for Bat and BLSC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterOhio Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I actually am heading out to Kings Island my self on Thursday, leaving a period early at school to head down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Existential Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 Well if you see some dude with a 30s style newspaper boy hat and glasses with a button up shirt buttoned all the way up...then perhaps say hi. Its probably me. I might even have a collared shirt under a Banshee shirt later in the day...definitely a Banshee shot glass though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jr for Birdy Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Just stay far from the Columbus Zoo Thursday, unless you enjoy standing 20 people deep to peak at animals. Jr.. who would love to be standing in lines at KI all day Thursday, but will deal with chaos instead, more than likely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Existential Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 We got Columbus zoo passes... Say hi to Betty White for me. I am going to KI Thursday to get as far away from that mess as possible. Can't wait to see it though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticsTimber Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Never did make it out to KI but I'm glad I didn't. Seemed like it was quite crowded today. The plan is to go on Thursday now but idk. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 The longest line today was ~45 minutes for Panda Express around noon. Ride wait times weren't bad at all; major rides varied from ~5 minutes to ~30 minutes after crowds picked up. Everything was short after ~5:00pm. Never did make it out to KI but I'm glad I didn't. Seemed like it was quite crowded today. The plan is to go on Thursday now but idk. Even if you run into crowds, they should be very manageable this week. If Action Zone is packed at 10:15am, go somewhere else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoraX Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Crowds were not terrible. They were only more crowded than I had experienced the past season or two during the week. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
