TOPGUN1993

When I got there at 3:00 there was alot of rides not open. Slingshot, Monster, Viking Fury, Crypt, Train, Thornberrys, WWC, Blue Racer, but they all opened later on in the day.

I was at the park from 3:00 to 9:00 and at around 6:00 the park became basically Empty! 5 People in line for Dropzone, everything else station wait (including Firehawk, Crypt, and Sob)

Do you think there is a good chance the park will close before 10:00 pm tomorrow?

Colossus at SFMMountain.

I think they should put big spiders on the lift hill of Racer.

The only ride I really don't prefer to go on is Zepher.

Congo Falls in 2000 or Adventure Express in 2002

You don't have time to notice how high you are on TTD. It's my fav coaster there....wuv dat launch

Doesn't Boomerang Bay open this same day, along with many of the live stage shows?

You have to go inside the park to enter the fenced off area of the parking lot to view Robbie Knievel. at 7:00 pm

I voted "It's a little worse than past years." -Potato Works buckets are much smaller but the price stayed the same. -Panda Bowls are no longer offered at Panda Express. -2 Slices of Larosa's Pizza price went up about a dollar. -Dippin Dots are now 5 bucks..... I remember back in like 2004 when they were $3.75 But I was very impressed with OuterHanks $8.95 for four chicken strips and a lot of fries. At least they didn't try to charge me a dollar for a BBQ packet unlike last year.

Not all topics you post in count toward your overall number.... such as Forum games and the "other" topic.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned that they removed the remaining part of the covered walkway. CLICK

I black out on (become dizzy and can't see that good). IJST (helix) Vortex (hill after the loops) MF (bottom of first drop/turn) Firehawk (loop sometimes) TTD (launch) Face/off

I like the picture size.

Do they still have the zipper pouches?

I'm sorry, but that sounds fishy. I wonder how long it will be until the cranes show up back there.

They are relocating swan lake...

A ride doesn't have to be thrilling to be fun.

Must Adventure Express Son of Beast (Front seat only) Vortex Red Racer Beast or Firehawk Skip Face/off Blue Racer Flight of Fear Italian Job Stunt Track

Can you post the picture?

Yeah there really was 2 teens walking around under Topgun. And the waterfall I think your talking about it at Jungle Jims. And Avatar I don't think that was me and Don lol. You can check out my entire gallery by Clicking This

I got to the front gate just at 9:00 and I end up being basically the only one up there. I stand inline at the gates for a good 10-15 mins before given access to end the park. Once inside the park I try my luck at The Beast Walkback, we left around 9:45 for our long trek back to The Beast. I ended up getting the 2nd train of the day in the front seat. I even rode with a member from the site, Great Ride. After Beast our small group of Adam, Brian and some other friends headed over to the Back Lot Stunt coaster. I was actually very impressed on how the changed the ride from IJ:ST to BL:SC (Rode Front Seat). We strolled down the midway to Vortex, I’ve been looking forward to this ride all off season. (Rode 7-1). We rode Shake Rattle & Roll and then decided to head over to Firehawk. After renting a locker we got in line and waited roughly 50 mins (Rode Front Seat). By this time it was starting to get warm so we got inline for Flight of Fear, the line started just outside the doors. But thankfully none of the queues were open. My ride was rather painful due to the fact my bar became really tight during the course of the ride(Rode Last Seat). I was pleased when I saw the flashes go off during the launch. I would rather buy a onride photo than a onride video on Flight of Fear. Red Racer was next on the list, it is so smooth I couldn’t believe it (Rode 5-2). Now we headed to Adventure Express on of my favorite coaster at the park (Rode 1-2). At this point we were hungry so we decided to check out festhaus. When we got there the country show had always began, and the place was packed we couldn’t even seen an open table and the line to get pizza was at least 15 min. A couple other friends and myself decided to find another place to eat due to the fact pizza was more expensive than last year. I suggested Outer Hanks, so went over there to check it out. I got the Chick Strips and French Fries for $7.99. IMO a fair price for Kings Island, it was very good and fries were great. Blue Racer was up next but it didn’t ride the same as the Red Racer did (Rode 4-2). Son of Beast was still on the list so we headed over to Action Zone but SOB’s line was all the way down the ramp and inside the tunnel. So we got inline for TOPGUN instead. I can’t believe I’m going to say this but Flight Deck Sucked. The actual ride is great but everything else is horrible. There was no music or anything that made the ride look good. On our way out of TOPGUN we stopped and chatted with the AZ ride Manager on the TG observation out look, then I pointed out to him that there was to teenage boys walking around on the roads underneath Topgun. He quickly ran to the station and got the kids and I think ended up walking them to security. Eiffel Tower was next got a good look of the 2009 construction and the other changes around the park. We decided we should do the train before the end of the day so we rode it and I got some neat pictures of the construction. Beast had only about a 20-min. wait so I rode it in seat (1-2). After beast the little group went off to Avatar while I met up with PKIDelirium and we took pictures of the Rivertown Construction. Got inline for the train again and rode it. Then Don had a dumb idea of riding White Water Canyon. He rode solo and didn’t very wet so I thought to myself “what the heck”. So I joined him for a 2nd lap. Manily due to the fact the water sprayers weren’t on. We got Drenched on EVERY rapid…… my shoes were full of water and my sweat shirt weighted 20 pounds. At that time it was about 6:45 so we rode Wild Thornberry’s River Adventure because it wouldn’t matter because we were already dripping wet. Good ride but that elephant…lol. Don and myself walked over to Beast to say hello to Gabe & Cory but didn’t ride. At this point I was getting kind of uncomfortable being wet when it was sort of chilly out so we rode Shake rattle & roll in a attempt to get dried out. Then my mom met me at Starbucks and we went home. Ü Here are some pictures from opening day. For more pictures Click Here (I'm sure I made grammar mistakes so sorry lol)
