Uh...isn't Cedar Point voted the #1 amusement park in the world?

But that area is nowhere near the X-Base midway...

Is it still possible for SOB to run 3 trains? (Or maybe the G-trains are there to be used for spare parts?)

Is anyone else disappointed with The Beast's new entrance? I think it is even harder to find now than it was before, and the signage is unnoticeable and pathetic. I'm not a big fan of the coaster, but I do believe that it deserves a clearly identifiable entrance.

Hmm, when you zoom out and explore around the 2nd map (after rotating counter-clockwise), you can see King Cobra's track, trains, and Firehawk. When was KC's track supposedly scrapped, again?

FOF, I don't have a pass. Kevin, if I run to Firehawk at opening, and then right after that go back to Sling Shot, do you think I can still get tickets for $5/person?

I know this may shock some of you...but The Crypt. Before Cedar Fair took over, Tomb Raider was my favorite ride in the park. I had never ridden anything like it, and I just thought the whole experience was amazing. The only time I have visited Kings Island since it became a Cedar Fair park was back in April. We waited in line for it at least an hour...twice. It broke down both times, right before we were about to get on. I know the ride cycle has been reduced to almost nothing since then, but I'm still excited to see what has happened with the ride. I am going in with very low expectations, so hopefully I won't be TOO disappointed. After that, I am mostly looking forward to night rides on Diamondback and The Beast, as well as a great ride in the back seat on FOF.

Are the two flips taken in locked position, or free-swinging?

Speaking of the Skycoaster, how much does it cost to ride? (Is it cheaper with 2 riders?) How about the Sling Shot?

Terpy, we are just going to buy tickets at a local AAA office or Kroger Food Store. Does KI have the same rain policy that CP does? (Run only one train during any precipitation...)

Thanks for the welcoming! I'm mainly concerned with getting in a Beast night ride in the second-to-last seat and Diamondback in the very back. I rode them this way near the beginning of the season and both were simply incredible. So with that settled...when should I visit the park?

My brother is playing in a ball tournament right outside of Cincinnati starting on Friday, so I am planning on visiting Kings Island while we are in the area. We have the choice of going to the park on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday, but each of these choices comes with a catch, so I'd like some help from you guys. Obviously, the park will be the least crowded on Thursday. I don't mind waiting in lines, but my friend that's going with me does. The catch: if we visit on Thursday, we have to leave the house around 6am and drive to Cincinnati, PLUS, we'll have to watch all three days of my brother's tournament. (Don't get me wrong, I love a good baseball game...but their games tend to get pretty long and boring.) If we visit on Friday, we will already be in Cinci, so we can sleep longer, and skip a day of baseball. Also, the weather forecast is better this day than the others. The catch: crowds will most likely be heavier than Thursday, and I'm afraid we won't have time to get in all the night rides we'd like to. (The Beast, Diamondback, Flight Deck) The park is open till midnight on Saturday, so I wouldn't be too concerned about getting in multiple night rides, and again, we could skip a day of the baseball tournament. The catch: I'm sure that Kings Island is packed on Saturdays, and if the lines are unbearable, we probably won't have a very good time. However, there is a 30% chance of isolated storms on this day, so might this scare away some of the crowds? I'm having a really hard time deciding what we should do, so I'd really appreciate any help you all have to offer. If you were in my situation, which day this week would you visit Kings Island?
