Maybe i should have went and got mine processed on the weekdays and not opening day. But at least i got the upgrade to gold. Man i cant wait to get up there on double ride tuesdays. What all rides have speed lanes? I know IJST does.

Its amazing how much faster the line moves for Vortex when there is 3 trains on the track. But it also got stuck a lot.

I was walking over by it on my way out and i saw that there were no more posters or any names on the stones. I think that they need to make it like a place where guests can go and eat in the shade. Kind of like the old Nature tunnel in Nick Central.

I dont like them but if they keeps me safer then i have no problem with them.

Well we tried to get out of the line but we were jammed in the middle line and there was no way we could get out. Hopefully that will just be a one time thing and they will have them up and working up to par next time.

Nice pics. I tried to get a few pictures of Firehawk with my phone but they didnt turn out to well. I did get some cool video footage though. Also with my phone.

Sounds like you had a good time. I got a Gold Season Pass for the first time so i plan on attending the park a lot more this year. I like FOF being darker it gives you all that more feeling of being out of control.

When i rode FOF they had most every light in the building off and it was basically pitch black. But the sad thing is that there is no camera now. I like FOF a lot better with no lights on.

I discovered that you could get into the park with your pass once to after i was like no way am i going to wait in this line. I ended up getting it at about 7:15.

You scared me or Ronny?

They got me a few times going through the corks but other than that they werent that bad. I like the way the seats sit up higher now with more padding.

Well we got to the park at about 10 o clock and we waited in line for at least 45 minutes to be parked. Our lane was the only one that was not moving. Finally after getting up to the parking housing we asked for preferred so we can get closer. Well we couldnt find it so we parked in Face/Off and walked right past preferred. Then we went to get my season pass prcessed but the line was backed up all the way to the road almost. We got in the park and first thing we did was go to The Beast. It was closed so we had to head to TR:TR. We waited about 5 minutes and got on. There was hardly any music or anything. The lava didnt even shoot up. After that The Beast was open so we went and got on it and it was backed up out of the station because they were putting trains on the track. After about 3 cycles each we finally got on. For the first time i saw our good friend here Ronny Salerno and talked to him, well not really he said hey and asked how i was doing and then i was like hey i know that guy. Anyways back to the story we came back into the station and the lapbars were acting up but The Beast crew worked fast and fixed the problem and they were very polite. Especially Ronny. We then went to IJST and rode it and went over to FOF which now has pretty much no light what-so-ever in the building and was an awesome ride. Skipped Racer because of the line and went to ride Delirium but it was down. So we went to get on Drop Zone, down. Top Gun had a long wait so we decided to go and get us a bowl of Skyline chili. We waited 45 minutes because some people didnt know how to work a cash register. Then we went up The Tower got a good look. Rode Face/Off and Delirium. Then hit Racers, Vortex, and FOF. I then got my pass processed in which i look queer in the icture but nevertheless. The positive things i noticed was the cleanliness and the excellent satff on the rides. Even though the guy on TR:TR said Paramount when he was giving his spill. I dont know if i saw anybody but i was wearing a blue shirt with the number 30 on the back and Indians on the front with 2 of my friends.

Man i had a terrible time with maintenance but you cant blame them, it was their first day on the job.

They also changed The Eiffel Tower up to a 2 which is good because of how high up it is. Man i have got to avoid that AE it is just too intense.

I just purchased my first season pass ever and i am going to finalize it in the morning and then i hope to spend a whole great fun-filled day at the park. See you all there!

Thanks! Have a great opening day. I am sure I will!

I dont have a parking sheet and it just says that i can get my season pass by standard mail or like express. But there is one option called an E-Ticket or sometinhg. Is there anyway i can order online and then just pick it up at the park the next day as in tommorrow?

I recently ordered a season pass off of the Kings Island website. Actually i ordered it about 1o minutes ago. Where do i pick it up at or do i have to go and get my picture taken for it or something?

I am looking forward to of course riding The Beast and also just being back in the park and enjoying all the world class thrill rides that Kings Island has to offer. One of my favorite parts is just getting there and then you finally see The Eiffel Tower and Drop Zone peeking through the trees and then all of a sudden you can see the full view of the park and it is simply breathtaking.

Man i was kind of hoping to ride SOB without the loop but i guess i will have to do it some other time. Well folks our waiting is about over. 1 more day of school and such and it is time.

Well from a park personnel standpoint it is bad because they make a whole cas hload of money on that day. But for us hardcore enthusiasts it is good because now, no more going up to the park and riding The Beast and maybe getting a ride on Outer Limits.

Nice article. I saw you, Chef, on Youtube. There was a Tomb Raider video for the travel channel in which they interviewed you.

Ok i have officially received word from the man of the house that we are going up on Saturday. I no longer need a co-rider because i have a friend going so sorry schwarry. I think that the crowds might actually be on the thin side because at school i have had to convince about 20 people that it is opening on Saturday and to also convince them that they are not a bigger Kings Island fan than i am. I had to hit em with the ole, Son of Beast doesnt even have a loop trick. Then they were like yeah it does and i was like well shows how much you know. Mean i know but i get offensive when people act like they know everything about Kings Island.

So we can pretty much count on everything being open except for Firehawk (DUH) and SOB? I hope they have everything running up to par. Last time i was there they had to close Drop ZOne down because of high wind and Face/Off was also shut down to.

I apologize to everyone. Last night i wasnt in quite the mood but i shouldnt have said anything on here that sounded like that so for that i apologize.
