I understand that, but since your allowed to bring a friend to the park at a discounted price, and if you chose to get at the park early enough to partake in ERT, then your friends who you got into the park at a dscounted price should be premitted. I mean lets saySeason Pass holders A brought in Friends B, Does A go to ERT and Leave B waiting till the park opens at 10am? I wouldn't do that, I just think they should be allowed to have there friends join them for the ERT! I doubt they will be 100+ Season Pass holders bringing a friend with them!

However back in 2009 when I didn't have a plantium pass, a friend got me into Cedar Point for 19.99 and it allowed us to go in with them an hour early!

I think it's one friend per day! I called and asked though and your friend is not allowed to come into ERT though, which I feel isn't right!

I'm sorry,but this is LAME!

It's not the fact that I hate the system, but I do not like how they assign seats on Flight of Fear, and The Beast.

Staffing issues maybe?

I have no idea, probably Vortex or The Racer!

In my Opinion it's the way it should be done! Like Cedar Point!

Racer is not a Fast Lane ride!

KI has 15 since they count Surf Dog (Avatar) as a Coaster!

Should we not give up on SOB yet?

It was late when I typed my opinion to the whole Fast Lane. I understand they are paying to cut, and thus getting specail treatmeant! But it's BS that they get to choose wherever you want to sit while we waited in line for about and hour + get told where to go! Too me that isn't good Guest Service!

The thing about Fast Lane that I don't like and I plan on sharing my concerns with KI. They were assigning seats for Flight of Fear today, but they would just let the Fast Lane people go where ever they wanted! So if feel sense they paid the $50 dollars they get special treatment. Just my opinion! also while waiting in line for DB today full que, the line took quite a bit longer to get there, the line didn't seem to move as fast. They were a quite of few of Fast Lane users passing us up!

Vortex has been open for about a week now!

My Vote is in!

According to Kingsislandpr the post above you, it is. And he posted that the same time I posted my question!

Yes we know Vortex was closed on those dates. Vortex has been closed since July 2nd, cause of the chain breaking. They got it fixed this week, and today is the first day of operation for Vortex since that day!

I see the ride running on the time laps webcam on wxix.com, but does anyone know if the ride is open?

If your talking about the metal guide the runs the entire length of the lift, then I know parts of it was damanged from the chain breaking!

Things like this doesn't not happen at KI, or CP. I don't understand what they mean in that statement! “When you think about as many years as the park has been around, things like this don’t happen very often. They have a good safety record,” Caudill said. “You see it in the news that things like this happen at King’s Island and Cedar Point. When you are dealing with mechanical things, it’s always possible that they can break down.”

Im sorry if this is going to sound rude, but it should have been common sense that you weren't allowed to use your phone while on the ride.

It also appears that the guide that the chain runs in has been damaged too, so who knows what all they need to do to get Vortex back up and running!

Yes it opened in 1989!

The chain has not been replaced yet! The chain is missing from about the middle of the lift to the top, and on the return run that runs on the bottom of the main lift! I'm wondering if they are waiting on a new chain to arrive! I'm hoping its back up and running by next Saturday!

They probably took the stickers off, cause people couldn't keep there hands off of them. It's because other people can't leave stuff alone that reunions it for everyone else!
