Spent many weekends as a kid up there with the family. have not made a trip up there yet this season. I plan to take my Seadoo soon and get on the lake in the morning and hit the park after it opens! Thanks fr the TR Jared. Terpy, I don't think I have ever done CB in 1-3,4. I? will try that when I go!

I was there last Friday. I looked very hard while ridding FD, I rode 1-1 specifically to look at SOB, looked at the exit queue for FD, and up in the ET. I saw no work being done at all on SOB, I could not see much of SOB at all on FD or in FD's station/ exit queue, the trees have really grown up over there and block most anything to be seen and was rather disappointing. I did not ride DT to get the best view of the ride, but it was my concluding that there is dirt in the questioned area that may or may not be related to any type of SOB construction. I saw no evidence (workers, saws, hammering, cranes, dozers, etc.) that any work was being done to SOB on Friday mid afternoon. In fact it seemed quite peaceful over there.

After being at the park yesterday and trying to see if there is anything going on I came to the conclusion that there is nothing going on over there except for a little dirt piles being made. I could be wrong, but that was my feeling after investigating.

I agree windshawne. For me it is really hard to decide, 2 hr drive for KI or 3 hrs for HW. No they don't have DB, but everything else about the place makes up for it.

So am I HTCO, you will almost always see me in the back. I agree with others about FD, 1-1 is my favorite seat on it.

I thought KI had a zero degree entry pool area?

Thanks for sharing your experience at HW. They truly know how to run a park!

I have seen managers taking tickets as well. I have seen managers out in the park every time I have been there this season.

Looks like they took the other 2 cams off that page. They were about 2 weeks ago (last time I looked on the site.) Maybe they just gave up on them for now?

Is there a site for that?

Absolutely, thanks for your help!

So Voyage would be a fly through?

Station Fly Bys??? This young apprentice needs come guidance here!

I did not know counting crossovers was a stat for coasters?

I find that I dream more of KI or other parks more when I am getting withdraws. The off season is the worst, although talking to other enthusiasts on this site has helped the last 2 off seasons with the amount of KI dreams I have!

Last night I dreamed I was at Holiday World with several KIC'ers. We were going to ride Voyage, the queue was quite full and they were not letting any more people get in line. They were testing the Timberliners and we began to watch them being tested. Someone from the park said they were having trouble with a part in the wheels and pivoting system and were not ready to be used. We then saw another train exit the station, but it was not the Voyage train or ravage, it was another new train who's cars looked like bumper boats and the logo on the train said Pro Slide. Pro slide had created a train model and they were testing it on Voyage as well. Last thing I remember people were leaving the queue due to it not being open.

So what is your favorite seat on FD?

Have you taken a 1-1 ride? I am always a back seat type of rider, but on FD this is where I want to ride.

Last season I would have picked Beast, but I seem to really enjoy rides on The Racer this season more than a day Beast ride. Night time ride is The Beast. I chooses RFYLCB due to the fact you ride by yourself or own party and is the most relaxing of the three, and you get just enough wet to cool off.

Nice TR, Thanks for sharing. I remember reading on HW's FB page the week before the holiday they predicted Sunday to be the slowest day of the 4 day weekend. I wonder if they were right?

I'm confused. What do lights being off or on in stores have to do with a generator in the parking lot? Or rides being in operation, How I read it hamoperator, implies "Don's statement is false due to not seeing rides in operation, a generator in the parking lot, and light still being off in stores. " Don stated the power was restored to these places in 3 hrs, that could mean via a generator as well. Whether they decided to turn light on in that store is up to them. Just because you saw no lights on does not make Don's statement false. The generator was only lighting the parking lot at the entrance to the gold lot at the cross walk, the stores had no power at 11:30pm when I left. The problem was not fixed in three hours. There was still a loss of a phase going on. another post on here indicates that upto 24 hours, there was still power loss and problems going on. My point is alot of guessing by people not there to expierance it; and it was not 3 hours. There was no restore that night, and the only generator viewed was the one I spoke of, were there other generators running the rides? Don't know; but wouldn't be a bad idea for the park to invest in. The park was running on one phase. My point was people made assumptions by what they observed only, not knowing what was really going on. Example: Guest: Look, that store does not have it's lights on so a phase must be out. Possible Reality: Power was restored to store as reported by KI, but the A/C unit needs reset to get it running again. IT is having issues getting the register server up, so they still can't ring anyone out. KI's decision at the time: No need to turn on lights until every infrastructure that is required to run that store be in full operation. Something else that supports my point. I see yet again you are coming to conclusions by what you saw, not on facts. "The park was running on one phase." Who in the park told you this?

Great report and welcome to KIC! If you want to try and meet up with any KIC'er in the park on the day you are going don't forget to visit the Meetup's page and post when you are going!

Awesome report, glad you had a great day!
