To answer Maverick00's question, I haven't seen WindSeeker have long lines this year. I went on a fairly busy Thursday about a month back, and the wait was only like 5 minutes. I went on Sunday, June 10th, I just had to wait for the cycle to end. I also went 2 days ago, and the line was only 5 minutes. I haven't seen the switchback used yet this year, but then again, I haven't ride it on a Saturday yet this year.

Where did you find the picture?

Thanks everyone!

I'd think this would be a new comer talking to me here, but I just thought I'd post it. When I got off Backlot today, a lady asks me "does that ride drop?". I'm trying to explain, saying something like "yes it does, but not a big drop, it goes up a few helixs, or up a few circles, and has a small drop".

Ok, so I went To Kings Island today. I went with my mom, sister, and friend Nathan. So yeah, here I go. I got there around 8:50AM. I stood by the front gate for a couple minutes, then saw Jonathan/jcgoble3 walking towards the entrance. I said hi, and then it was time for the national anthem. We then all headed to Diamondback. This would be a first time riding Diamondback for my mom and my sister. It was a walk on and me and my friend got the back row. As always, a fun ride. We then switched seats so we could stay on, because there was somebody waitng for the back. After that ride, we stayed in our seats becuase nobody was in the row. After THAT ride, we switched seats again to an empty row. After another ride, it looked like all the rows would be full, so we just got out and went back in line. We got out and went back in line 2 times after that, then headed to rope drop. We made it just in time to the Eiffel Tower rope drop, and I found out thats where Jonathan/jcgoble3 was. Jonathan took off, and me and my friend followed. When we got to the X-Base, I was worn out. We all got in line for Firehawk for it's first ride of the day. We got row 4, and strapped in, as I sat with Nathan and Jonathan. A fun ride, as usual. We all headed to Flight of Fear, only to see a long line out of the entrance and it was closed. So, I had to meet with my mom at 10:15 at The Racer, so I headed there. Blue was closed, so we went in red. There was a walk on for the front row. It seemed a bit less shaky then my rides in the front row on the blue Racer during Coasting For Kids. We then headed to Action Zone. Delirium was closed, (And it was closed the whole time I was there) so we headed to Invertigo. The line was only about 5 minutes. It was a fun ride, as usual. (I sure am repeating myself!) Next was Drop Tower. There was a small line, and me and Nathan got seats 39 and 40 next cycle, so we barely made it. When we were going up, I saw Jonathan and my mom and my sister. Thats the last I really remember of seeing Jonathan that day. A fun ride, and its nice going taller than Son of Beast. We then took the walk to Flight Deck. Me and Nathan love the front row on FD, and refused to not go in the front this ride. The wait,, including the walk, was about 10 min if you rode the front row. Again, a fun ride, as usual. We both were hot, so we went to Congo Falls. It, as always, was a walk on. We got pretty wet, and also waited at the bridge to get soaked. I then met up with my mom in the Festhaus. They got some overpriced stuff to eat, and I got what I thought was then 2nd best value in the park food wise, (behind Rivertown Junction) Skyline. I got 3 coneys. After that, we headed to WindSeeker. It was just a short 5 minute wait. We then all headed to Backlot, which was also a short 5 minute wait. Then we had time for 1 more ride before we had to go at 1 (something Nathan has to go to) and we went to The Beast. Surprisingly, it was a walk on. Fun ride. We walked towards the exit, kind of the long way becuase I wanted some watermellon at the Coca-Cola marketplace. It was pretty good, just there was a few white pieces, and I don't think watermelon is totally in season. Some notes on the day: *It was not very crowded. The worst thing I waited in was the front row of flight deck for 10 minutes. Likely because it was hot, driving everyone to Soak City. *Flight of Fear did open, though I'm not exactly sure when. *Delirium also said it was closed on the rides closed on the outside of the front gate. *I now have unlocked all the Level 1 FUN Perks rewards, but have not leveled up. Also, I still haven't been to Soak City. Thanks for reading!

I've probably had about $60 spent so far in the park, and have all the level 1 rewards. (Thunder Alley Ride, Cotton candy, Popcorn, 15% Off Food Voucher, game play token, Bring A friend $9.99, and 50% off Fast Lane). I haven't leveled up yet though.

Yes. There is a haunted house used for Haunt in there called Wolf Pack.

^And you just said Saturday!

Probably Cedar Point, as I'm a coaster nut. Waterpark wise, I'm not sure.

Same as jdawg.

1 minute it shows the road, the next the parking lot, the next the Diamondback hills, the next Mondo Monsoon (right?), it just keeps moving around.

Today I have noticed the Soak City webcam on KI's website has been moving around a bit. Has anybody else noticed this? Is this suppose to be happening?

On WLW this morning I heard they are planning to add line wait times into the app. Not sure if this is true or not, because I heard nothing about that being added.

So, we still got a carving of something on the black wall, make sure to cover it up completely to avoid any non light theming.

I was checking everyone's page before the event so I would know what to expect. And thanks for the photos and the compliment, yes that kid truly is me! And lots of other KICers were shocked too!

I had a small dream. Some of the track was being removed from the lift hill, and most of the queue line was being removed. I had ANOTHER dream, (yes, 2 SOB dreams in the same night) that most of the wood supports of the ride were removed, but the track was still up. Wierd. Even my dreams are leading SOB to its doom.

Thanks for what you have so far! You took a picture of me taking a video in that first picture on the 2nd post. Great photos!

It was where Boo Blasters now is.

Didn't sound like a good day at KD. I wonder if it has been like this all year.

Thanks for the report. Didn't seem to busy yesterday.

Great video Brad! At around the 2 minute mark, walking to lunch picture, on the bottom of the picture I believe is my sister looking for me. I really like the shots of me in the front row!

I now have around 70% of my videos/photos uploaded that you can view here. http://s1251.photobucket.com/albums/hh547/ohiocolts/Coasting%20For%20Kids%20KI%202012/ And thanks guys, I can't wait to see the pictures of me in the front, J.D! Hopefully some other good reports are coming, because it has been a few days sense the event, so yeah!
