^Are the scare actors still out after the park closes at 1AM?

Mine was, like many, the back then Top Cat's Taxi Jam, now The Great Pumpkin Coaster. I think my first 48" coaster was Corkscrew at Michigan's Adventure, and my first 54" coaster was Nighthawk at Carowinds.

^Ok I will, and thanks. I'm leaveing soon to make it for opening. It's early.

^^Ok, thanks. I knew some kids pushed a button to set off fireworks every night, but didn't know that's why there was just 1 then the whole show. ^Thank you! And yes, I will try to make a TR every visit. I'm going to Indiana Beach today, but am not sure when I'll be able to write a TR. I will though!

In line for The Beast when it is down for fireworks. Guest 1 "It's not open for the fireworks". Guest 2 "Yeah they close every ride for fireworks".

^ Thanks everyone! And Terpy, I often go with my mon and sister (Which with sister isn't really a good thing, she thought 25 minutes for Diamondback was really long, because she's only gone on Diamondback during ERT walk ons and gets really cranky) because my dad, always has work. He has a pass, but is often working. I ask if he wants to go on a Sunday when he's not working, but he says "Its to hot out" or something else. Hopefully we can bring him soon. But, thanks very much Terpy!

Thanks for the trip report! Glad you had a good day! I also had my first visit after a 2 week abscense yesterday.

My mom had to pick something up around KI, so after that, my, her, and my sister went to KI. We arrived around 7:45, and the parking lot was pretty crowded. We walked into the park and headed to the Emporioum, because on here I heard they still sell leftover Crypt hats here. I was looking around, but couldn't find anything. We asked a worker, which was a little strange considering The Crypt doesn't exist. He actualy took us to an abandoned corner that had some Crypt hats. The tag said $12.99, ouch. But I heard on here also it was only $4 on clearence, so I went to the register to check. Turns out they were, and I bought one. Next up was our first ride of the day, Diamondback. The wait extended a bit out of the entrance, but there was only the first turnaround (or whatever you call it) and one other switchback open. I was expecting about a 20 minute wait. Operations were slow when I was in the beginning of the line, as I saw most of the time the train wouldn't dispatch until after the train ahead was on the break run. Anyway, operations got better throughout the line, and we got on in about 25 minutes. I got row 5, and it, as always, was a blast. They wanted to do Racer, so we headed there. The line was down the steps and just into the queue house, and looked only about 5 minutes. it was only about 5 minutes and we got on. I had a middle row, so it was kind of smooth. It was just a nice classic ride. They wanted to then do WindSeeker, while I wanted to get on Vortex. Sense they are next to each other, We just decided to split up and meet at the WindSeeker entrance, sense it was getting dark and I wanted a Windseeeker night ride. I then relaized I wanted to get my dad a late birthday present related to Flight of Fear. I went to the trailer thing putside of the X-Base were the guy from Emporioum suggested I go from my last visit. I looked all around, asked, and there was nothing FOF related. But, guess what. There are Crypt shirts in here. 3 different kinds, actually. They had a bit still in stock. So if you want a Crypt shirt, then you can get one in the trailer thing outside of the X-Base. But, when I saw a Crypt shirt, I couldn't resist. There was a sign outside saying all shirts $7, but the tag said something like $14. The lady there told us it was the $7 deal, and we took it. I checked my reciept and I leveled up to 2 star in FUN Perks! And, I wasn't going to carry my shirt on rides, so I just wore it over my Diamondback shirt. I then headed to Vortex. The line for Vortex only looked to be about 10 min. There was this crazy kid in front of me, and when I just take the slightest step, he says "Hey man, no cuttin"! I look at him like he's crazy. He says "I saw you! You cutted! No cuttin!" I was absolutely not cutting. Anyway, the line ended up being about 10 minutes. I wasn't able to pick my 5-1 seat, and ended up in 3-1. I was hoping for the best. To my surprise, it was great! Hardly any headbanging, add to the fact that it is almost dark out, and that is definetly a better than average Vortex ride. I met with my mom and sister Lucy, who I saw on WindSeeker when I exited. Anyways, they rode it again with me, and it was only a 1 cycle wait. The park was pretty dark, and I just love the WindSeeker lights. This was also my first real WindSeeker night ride. (I had one were the lights turned on in the middle of the ride but it wasn't very dark out) It was a great ride, and I just love seeing the park at night. Next up was a famous Beat night ride. My mom, unfortunately chickened out. She has only rode it once recently, and thought it would be too scary if she didn't know which way it was going and it was to dark to see. Anyway,me and my sister got there at about 9:45, and the ride was already closed for fireworks. Some people thought this meant it was closed for the night and left the line. An employee came down to clarify it is just closed for the fireworks and will reopen for people still in line after maintence has gave us the all clear. We waited a little bit and then the fireworks started. There was one firework, then none. About 15 seconds later, half the people in The Beast line started cheering for the fireworks "end", which cracked me up. About 20 seconds after the first firework, some more went off, and the show started. It was a really nice fireworks show. About 5 minutes after the fireworkd, The Beast started running again. The wait was about 20 minutes, after the reopening. Me and my sister boarded the back row of a car, becuase somebody offered it to us, and we took off. There is nothing better at KI than a Beast night ride. The ride, was, well, amazing. Going through the woods in the pitch black was great, and the double helix was amazing, as it seemed I was going at around 80 M.P.H. . I think The Beast at night also seems faster. Anyway, it was 10:30, and the park of course was closed. We headed to the entrance. Tower Drinks had workers cleaning up. I asked if I could just have a cup of ice water, because I was really thirsty, but no, they said no. We then walked out to our cars and drove home. Overall, a great evening at KI, even if we only rode 5 rides, they were all great. A couple of notes: *Delirium is still down. Not sure when it will be fixed. *The park is just great walking through at night. I just love the atmosphere. *Don't bother looking for FOF stuff at the park. They don't have it. Thanks for reading!

^^I really meant to like that. EDIT:Sorry Double Post!

Yes, I agree, it would be better to have just 10 or so. I'm getting too carried away.

I think I should tell to the KIC world "Hey everyone! If you want free likes, make a post in the "Daily "Like" Limit" thread. Thanks to an anonymous new moderator, we have unlimited likes"!

I didn't know the cleaning meant unlimited likes.

He is a moderator. 1 post and he's a mod. I wonder how this is possible.

Who is Anonymous KIC G.M? He let me have unlimited likes. So I like him.

^True. I also forgot to vote, so I am mad at myself. And I was rooting for Afterburn, because it's the only one of the first 4 I've ridde. They also said Afterburn had the most G's. As for the other, again, how did a giant boomerang win? I'm not saying there bad rides, but I was thinking Montu or Alpengeist (The tallest inverted?) would beat out Aftershock.

I think it will be a lot less posts than expected, because it is now locked.

Thanks everyone! And yes, I will make a trip report. Hopefully I can get some photos on here as well.

Thanks! I know I'll have to ride all the coasters just to see how they are.

Ok, my mom suggested we could go to Indiana Beach next week on Wednesday. So, I haven't been in about 6 years, so I have a few questions. How crowded will it be? As far as I know, IB isn't a very crowded park, so i'm just wondering if it should be like that. Is there any good/cheap places to eat? And also, I hope to get there by opening at 11. Is there anything I should head to first? And is there any other advise that would be usefull from you guys? Thank's in advance!

On the webcam, so far it looks empty for ERT. But it's just ERT.

You can find them at numerous food locations around the park.

^^ There is, but I assume you would have to spend a lot. And as khaoskat said, there is also a half of Fast Lane reward too.
