So if we were to predict another big event coming to Kings Island when and what would it be?
I think/hope the Brady Bunch will come back on Labor Day Weekend!
I have always wanted to take the stairs on the Eiffel Tower
Also I would love to walk the track of The Beast, Racer or Son of Beast with the maintenance crews in the morning
I agree that the park probably should have stayed open until 7:30ish just to give people a little more advanced warning. However at 7:00 there really wasn't anyone left in the park so it didn't really matter.
I believe the last time that the park closed early was opening day 2005 when the park closed at 12:00pm. The weather that day was awful, windy, and constantly raining.
I also seem to recall another day in Pre-Season 2005 where the park never opened because the weather was so terrible. It was a Sunday in April/May.
I am pretty sure that the straight line winds did not hit the Eiffel Tower with as much force as the sign. I live about a half mile from where the straight line winds hit and we didn't get a bit of damage, I think it was like a tornado in that if the structure wasn't hit the damage was minimal. In my opinion if the Tower had been hit head on by the straight line winds it would have toppled.
The Beast
Firehawk
Son of Beast
Delirium
Flight of Fear
If I were you I would ride them in the order of Son of Beast, Delirium, Flight of Fear, Firehawk, and a night ride on The Beast!
I honestly wouldn't count on big lines at all. FOF, and Firehawk will be the only ones you will have to wait for. However if you are going to ride in the front seat on SOB and Beast then expect a 10-15 minute wait. Have a wonderful trip!
For the most part this holds true, however they did have the Freedom Concert and a Weird Al concert last year. Not sure if they have announced any other concerts besides Spirit Song for this year.
