I am having a really hard time deciding between my first ride on Diamondback, TTD, and The Voyage. They were all amazing when I rode them, but I am going to have to say The Voyage because it was non-stop amazingness.
I'll be going to Elitch Gardens within the next week while I'm on vacation. Anyone have any tips for me? I'm mostly going just so I can say I have been there and have ridden the rides, but I still want some fun. Any advice from those that have been there before?
Hard decisions, but here goes:
1. Voyage
2. Diamondback
3. Millennium Force
4. Magnum XL 200
5. Space Mountain - Magic Kingdom WDW
I have Space Mountain at #5 because it was quite a thrill to me back when I rode it first. It was so dark in the building that I had no idea when a turn or drop was coming. That gave me quite a thrill.
While in line for Racer I heard someone say, "Have you ridden Drop Tower? You haven't? That's good because I heard that people get their feet cut off on that ride."
I guess it's understandable to hear that kind of thing, but still kind of funny.
I rode it 7 times over the weekend. It was the first time I had ever ridden it with the lights on and it was awesome! But, it was during the ERT so I don't know what the lines were like. The ride itself felt more forceful than before, but that could be because of my offseason blues.
I didn't really know what page to post these in, but here are some really nice webcam shots that I snagged. The leaves on the trees make me so happy along with the grass that has grown in around Diamondback
Wow, I got back about 45 minutes ago, and that was the greatest 5 hours in Kings Island I have ever had! Lines were non-existent! I got 7 rides on D-back, 5 in one hour. 20 total rides, coasters and flats included. Something tells me that VERY few people were aware that KI was open tonight.
I thought that the view down the first hill in the front was AMAZING! Also, when I sat in the very back of a train, going over the third hill gave an extreme and surprising pop of airtime.
I saw TOM76257, Beast1979, kittenpooh, ZosoBeast, Boddah1994, gigacoaster2k, Avatar, Dane, and rotag1299. I bet I saw more people from here, but I didn't recognize them
This is a picture of the 3rd auction train on Saturday. I am in the very front to the right of the guy in the black sweatshirt.
Here is my On-ride photo.

5. Flight of Fear
I'm going to Holiday World this summer, so I'm expecting something out of The Voyage
Haha, when you saw TOM76257 in line for The Beast, I was right in front of him with my friend in the green shirt. I had the white D-back shirt with #66 on my back. Nice meeting you and ZosoBeast
Nice and early at 6 AM! Absolutely, positively, no complaints from me about getting up early! Others will be complaining about me getting up early though!
