Seaon Pass Processing wait
That's great to hear. I did buy online but was told not to count on getting in with the printout by two different phone reps and one seemed very seasoned/ informed. They said it was up to the people at the gate and usually depends on how long the line is. What luck have others had with this?

Seaon Pass Processing wait
I found my answer. Per, the season pass page on KI's official site, processing starts at 8:30 on Sat. Thanks for the help everyone!

Best Coasters to Marathon
Scratches head to try to stimulate my poor memory. It was a Sun, 1st day of NFL season and the day before a holiday. We also had really good luck late in the season on weds.

Best Coasters to Marathon
Magnum, Millie and Raptor. I Chose a great day for a visit at CP last year and walked on to Raptor 8 times in a row. I could've gone more but like Giga said earlier, my other favs kept calling me. Did Millie 6 with a 5-10 minute wait. Would've done Mav but it was still 45 mins. We had over 30 rides that day, we stopped counting. The great thing about marathoning rides is you can really compare the ride experience in the different seats... it also makes your dreams about the ride much more realistic. I dream the full cycle on all of the above now.

Seaon Pass Processing wait
My friend and I are arriving Sat. morning for RWW and have to process our passes (4 hr drive that I'm not making just to process the passes). I don't mind missing the morning RWW ERT but want to get in on DB ERT. So, how long have the wait times been and what's a good guess of when to arrive this Sat? Thanks!

How busy will this weekend be
Even if it's crowded you can hit the ERT and and get some rides in right after pening while the lines are short. I'm going to stay thru lunch and leave mid day for a nap and then come back for eve. Crowds will be light and then DB ERT!!!! I dont think Sun wll be that busy being Mother's Day. The crowds have been pretty light so far this year (keeping fingers crossed).

Join Us For Ride Warriors Coaster Weekend!
Brian sent me an email and said for me to go ahead and register, but it also says that I would need my ID card to show validation that I am indeed a member for ACE. Hopefully they'll be able to get it here before RWW starts. I've had some emails back and forth and the answer I got was that you need to be able to prove that you are a member of said enthusiast group. My friend is in the same situation and it seems that if you bring a printed copy of an email from said group stating your name and membership number as proof, you'll be OK. I'd love to hear this officially stated though, please! What time does season pass processing start? p.s. For those in this thread, sorry for all the edits. I'm trying to choose my words carefully.

Smurf VS KI on May 3rd
This is giving me great anticipation for this Sun at Ride Warriors. It could be a park scarcely filled with mostly enthusiasts, what fun!

Little Things You Notice
Well, just do like all the other people do that go to themeparks. Sue for 25 million dollars over a small thing. Lol. By the way a bee sting isnt a small thing. Just making point on what i see on the net. I noticed that they didnt have to take out King Cobra to put in something as small as Delirium. Cedar Point put MaxAir in a small spot and just moved a few things around. MaxAir is just like Delirium. Only MaxAir is a few feet taller when it swings. I also noticed that if you stand next to Drop Tower you can feel the air hitting you as the ride is coming down from the drop. King Cobra was removed becuase it was made of inferior quality steel.

What would you like changed to KI in the next five years?
I feel the same way but consider the circumstances under which KI got the ride. CF closed Geauga Lake and basically sold and divided up it's assessets between their other parks (I'm being very general). So I guess I feel lucky that KI even has Firehawk. CF does seem to me to be making an effort to improve their theming and overall appearance of their parks. Personally, I think they are doing great for a seasonal park. All those amazing rides that can only generate revenue for several months a year!

Kings Island Panoramic Photos
Those are fantastic. They would make great posters too. Of course the top one really makes me wish Backlot was somewhere else!

kings dominion new coaster in development
Yeah they're putting in King Cobra to run as a racer with Shockwave. That's why KC's trains went there David, who couldn't resist (and wonders if he will start talking in Terpy language too)
-
I have an idea.
I too love this idea. I've had so many conversations with many of you but have met no one. That's just weird for me. Also, what could be more fun than riding and hanging with a bunch of enthusiasts? I like Terpy's idea of the calender. Make it interactive so you simply type in the park your going to and everyone can list their names under it. Then have threads titled by park name and date to discuss plans and all.

It's Fast, It's Full of Venom... and It's Here!
Somewhere, dare-to-fly is smiling, but at the same time finds himself wondering how long that will last. So true ! We've been sending PM's about that since Thur. Do we have another Sammy situation?

Scared
I am just completely excited about DB. I haven't been scared of a ride since I was a kid.
