I'm sure today it was closed for Wind? I'm not 100 precent sure on that, but just what I guess.

I never got an e-mail to take the survery either.

Kings Island Platinum Passes do work. I have a KI Platinum Pass and never had any problem with it and FUN Perks. As well as Plantium Passes from other Parks. My Friend's Cedar Point Platinum Pass worked with Fun Perks.

The sound of Vortex running it's course. I like to call it the Arrow Roar. LOL

Nope mine was free, as it was giving to employees of the park in 2000.

I actually have one of those SOB polo shirts as I worked for the park in 2000.

I think you mean Route 63 not 62. We always take 75 to 63 to 741.

When I used to live a little closer to Dayton it was about 45 minutes to an hour, now it takes a hour and 45 minutes to two hours.

Cedar Fair actually adopted quite a few things from Paramount Parks that they still use today.

If it was raining I could see it being PAINFUL! Been there done that.

Well ya, but I'm just saying. These Halloween Events bring in Large crowds.

And when is a Saturday in October not crazy busy?

10 out of 10. Vortex was the coaster that started it all for me back in 1987.

This could be because it was the first weekend, but I felt the park didn't have as much haunt stuff set up this year. The Coney Maul sign wasn't even up this year. But I'm wondering if they are going to add more stuff this and next week, before the first weekend of October?

They must be working on WindSeeker at KI or looking at it, as on the webcam on visitkingsisland.com the gondola is at the top of the tower.

This kinda makes me think about other rides at the parks. Are they being maintained properly?

I figured Cedar Fair would close all of the WindSeekers as a precaution. I do think these rides are flawed in some way, I also find it interesting that when these things have stalled that are not many riders on board. The ride can hold 64 riders at a time, but when the stalls have happened at either parks, they are lesst then half the max riders on the ride. I wonder if this has soemthing to do with it?

Are the other WindSeekers affected by this or just the one at Knotts?

Nope It was FoF, it was already shut down in 2006, and it only reopened after Cedar Fair took over.

X-Flight aka Firehawk was meant for KI long before we actually got in in 2007.

Sunday is also the first day of the Kids Halloween Events, and trick or treating with the dinos.

I remember when the Top Coasters were Vortex, King Cobra, The Beast, The Racer, and Adventure Express, That was back in 1991, seems like moons ago. I remember riding those over and over again as a kid.

KI has gotten Firehawk and Diamondback since CP only has got Maverick. People are so dumb.

The cost to park doesn't matter to me as I have a Platinium Pass. However I would like to see some of the money used to pay for parking reinvested int he parking lots themselfs. I know KI's could sure use alot of work.

I thought the gondola was reduced prior to the ride being named The Crypt. I thought it was Paramount who reduced the number of seats for when it was still Tomb Raider.
