Thanks for all the help. The rain wasn't the best but we had a good day at the park. I ended up getting at least one ride on everything (including Giggles) and several on Diamondback. Late night single rider line wait was <5 minutes! ERT started late (about 20 minutes!) but we still got 2 rides. Sucked that Beast was running ONE train late at night, no way to get a reasonable ride in on that.

I'm really hoping to do it in one day, since that is all my schedule will really allow. I've done Cedar Point(!) all in one day, just hope that the ERT on Diamondback and Beast with early park admission to be over to Firehawk and Flight of Fear before the crowds will be enough to get me through the day.

Thanks for the replies. I hate lines!!! I will hope for a night ride on Diamondback, but don't know if it will be worth close to an hour. I'm curious what the morning ERT will be like. If I can get a few rides in, I'll be happy. I'm curious if anyone can help fill in a little more info on the ERT. I want to ensure I get all the credits I can (I plan on getting all of them) so I'll want to get through things as quickly as possible. Does my order sound good to stay ahead of the crowds? I plan to leave the park mid-afternoon and return at night.

I know, I know...4th of July! I am planning my first ever trip to KI this weekend. I was looking for some tips to help me get through as painless as possible. I am a Platinum Passholder and want to take advantage of the early entry for Diamondback and Beast. I have no idea how it works, but sounds as simple as going to a certain entrance for early entry. My friend is an ACE member and will have an e-ticket. Supposedly, ACE members can also take advantage of the Diamondback ERT. Is that an issue? How crowded do these ERT sessions get? My intentions are to get some early Diamondback rides and then move over to Beast. From there, I want to strategicly plan the rest of the park to get as many rides as possible before overcrowding begins. What should my first coaster be once the park opens? I will make my way over quickly. I'm guessing Firehawk needs to be one of my priorities. If someone could help by giving me a good "coaster itinerary" I would appreciate it. My plans (as of now) would be: Diamondback Beast Vortex Firehawk Flight of Fear Racer Adventure Express Flight Deck Invertigo Backlot Stunt Coaster Rugrat's Runaway Reptar Little Bill's Giggle Coaster Fairly Odd Coaster Insert Son of Beast in there if open Thanks for your help
