If the forecasts for this weekend hold true, there won't be much of a wait for any ride except Boo Blasters and Flight of Fear...

Note that they no longer have a notes tab on their page - instead you have to go in through the Boxes tab. I hope nobody ruins this one as well. I was surprised that they answered my question to begin with (although not really surprised at their response), but never expected someone to yell at them about it like that.

Interesting tidbit related to this... As of this past Saturday (the 17th), packets of Heinz ketchup were still available at the Skyline on International Street. I'm wondering if this is because Skyline has a say in which ketchup is used at their restaurants (just like they have a say in which cheese, hot dogs, etc. are used regardless of what's used elsewhere in the park).

Major failure. HAHA I know that is a major failure........I guess if your an obsessed KI addict you will do that..... For me it would depend on how many nickels said trip to Orlando would cost me...

The commericals for American Freight are much, much worse than the Allgood commercials. On the American Freight ads, the guy is YELLING through the whole thing. If I have the remote in my hand when it comes on, I always hit "Mute". Yelling at me to come to your store does not work for me. But GatorGirl loves it when I imitate the guy. I've seen those as well. I still think the Allgood ads are more annoying, especially when they claim to "save you a lot of money", but the sample terms they show result in you paying back nearly twice what you borrowed...

Sad to see that someone has to use 5@5 for that. I was surprised that they even answered my question yesterday, and while it wasn't the answer I (or anyone else) was looking for, I just accepted it and moved on. No need to get nasty about it. Hopefully the questions will improve for tomorrow.

You might be a KI addict if you are constantly thinking of new questions to ask in the 5@5 thing on Facebook

Maybe they're just trying to convince people to shell out more nickels for an all-day locker at the front of the park...

They didn't exactly answer my question, but I tried.

I personally don't care when I get them. If I'm too busy to read it when it arrives, I'll just look at it when I have time. The only time I ever turn my phone off completely is during church.

I'm not sure how long I'd wait - a lot would depend on the particular situation (what ride it was, etc.). I voted 4+ hours though because my sister and I waited about 5 hours for Firehawk the day it opened.

I noticed that Boocifer stood out a bit more with 3D glasses on, but that's about it as far as I could tell. Fortunately the glasses were only $1 so it wasn't a huge waste.

Unfortunately, just because there's Gold Pass parking doesn't mean you'll be able to park there if you have a Gold Pass. It often fills up quickly on busy days, and there were times last year when they didn't even have an employee standing there checking passes.

Now that the season has started up again, it's time to revive this thread. Guest waiting in line for Boo Blasters, referring to a section of wallpaper peeling from the wall: "They had to replace the ride. They couldn't afford to fix the wallpaper."

For those who have ridden Boo Blasters, what's your high score? I somehow managed to score 1590 the first time I rode it yesterday, but didn't come close to that the second time (I think my 2nd score was 938 or somewhere around there).

Another "new" thing I noticed yesterday - there are no longer any vending machines in the Delirium queue. Just a big empty space.

It's actually on Kings Mills Road, not far from KI.

My opening day count: Diamondback - 3 Adventure Express - 1 Beast - 1 Boo Blasters - 2 Carousel - 1 Delirium - 1 Drop Tower - 1 FoF - 1 Monster - 1 Scrambler - 1 Shake Rattle & Roll - 1 Surf Dog - 1 Train - 1 Woodstock - 1 What's in Action Theater now? Two of you claim to have been in there yesterday, but when I went to see what was there, it was closed.

I'm sure there are other price breaks if you order them in larger quantities - 1000 was the largest quantity available directly through their website.

Three things I noticed yesterday: When I rode AE, someone had left a door open on the left side near the bottom of that final tunnel. Nobody seems to have the new red Diamondback souvenir cups (those signs showed them, and they were pictured a few other places around the park as well). All references to Son of Beast have been removed from its entrance.

Just find it interesting that the park is pushing them so much when they're likely not even making that much off them - 13.8 cents a pair, minus whatever it costs them to pay someone to stand there and sell them...

Sorry about that. I should have paid more attention to that thread. I do know it's been answered here before and will look again to find the right thread later

I noticed last night that the 3D glasses for Boo Blasters are made by a company called American Paper Optics, and was curious as to how much the park (or Cedar Fair) was actually making off those things at $1 a pair. After doing a little research, it appears that they may not be making too much off them (unless Sally Rides is footing the bill, which is unlikely). The cost for 1000 pairs of the 3D glasses sold for Boo Blasters is $862 with shipping. The park is selling them at $1 per pair. That means the park would make a whopping $138 off 1000 pairs of glasses. Hardly seems worth their efforts...
