I didn't want to, but my mom and sister were in control some of the time. But yeah, lots of walking. You see, when I was alone, I stuck in 1 area (Delirium, DT, Invertigo, DT, Invertigo). And WindSeeker was stuck at the top the first few hours, then had some slower testing later on.

So, I went to Kings Island today. I got there at around 3:30 after school, and decided to go see Don at the fun perks booth. Had a little talk about Coasting For Kids, and it was nice to meet him. So, we went inside and I headed for Invertigo. There was a small line, starting about at the tunnel below the loop. The wait ended up being about 15 minutes. A fun ride, as always. Then, my mom and sister (who I came with) wanted to go to Backlot. On the way they saw Dogems, which they wanted to do, and it was a walk on. First time doing Dogems for me in awhile. Then we went to Backlot. The line was just across the bridge, so it was only 5 minutes. A nice ride, with theming working perfectly. Then they wanted to go on Racer, which was a walk on. I wanted to go in the shaky back, but I actually managed to raise my hands for about half of the drops. I then headed for Drop Tower. A 5 minute wait. Just nice to see a masdive wooden coaster that's not open and then be dropped 300 feet. I then took a apple funnel cake snack break. Then I walked to Flight of Fear, which I saw the line start just outside the entrance inside. Same movie and stuff, and I love the new red and green lights. They were doing good making no empty seats on Flight of Fear, because they called for a single rider, and I was just what they needed. It was a 15 minute wait, and it was just pure fun Flight of Fear. I then headed over to The Beast, which was a 5 minute wait. It was a bit smoother after being retracked, even in the back. I then took another look at the Crypt. Same as before, but now the photo booth that was blocking the entrance had been replaced by two trash and. There is plenty of room now for anyone to sneak through, and nothing blocks the entrance to the que, so I was tempted, even though I knew I couldn't enter the building. Then I walked around to Diamondback, and saw the notorious "This ride is temporarily closed" sign. Isae no line for Woodstock, and me my mom and sister thought why not. It was a walk on for the front row. Then we decided to ride again and walk onto the back row. We then headed back to Action Zone to ride Flight Deck. There was nobody in the station except for two people in the front row. I waited just 1 cycle for the front. It was now 7, and we decided to split up and meet at the entrance at 8 when the park closes. I decided to ride the Action Zone kings. I went into Delirium and walked on to it. Great ride. Then onto Drop Tower again. Walk on, good ride. Then onto Invertigo again. Walk on, good ride. There was about 20 minutes left, so I decides to repeat Drop Tower. Then, with 5 minutes left, I decided to get my last ride of the day on Invertigo. Overall, great day at the park, not very busy, and rode 15 rides in 4 hours. Thanks for the fun day, KI!

Looking at the webcam, there are 2 cars on there.

^Im going to meet him tomorrow at the fun perks booth.

Could I use my non 3G/4G iPod for the GPS features of the app? My iPod has GPS.

beastrider97, where was that taken? I never have noticed it.

The only thing I am going to miss is the Australian dudes voice in line for the slides.

^Why do you like the Australian theming so much? Why are you so mad about Soak City?

^I wanted to go, but I had a baseball game. I have a baseball game tomorrow, too, so no option here.

Firehawk is about 2 minutes, including the lift hill. Maybe about a minute if your just including the fun of the ride. You flip over many times on the ride, but the first time you flip over is at the top of the lift hill.

I went once and have nothing offered. Hopefully I'll have something if I go on Wednesday and buy something.

I hope we could do this! I'd love a group photo and video interviews!

So lets kind of have a recap of how the crowds are like. A rainy opening day 4-28-12 - a 2/5, walk ons in the morning, getting a little busier later in the afternoon. (Info from 16gwoods) 2nd weekend Saturday (Nice weather) 5-5-12 - a 4/5, Diamondback- 45-50 minutes around noon, from the looks about an 1 hour 15 minutes in the afternoon. The Beast- Around 1 hour most of the day. (Info from me, medford, RollerCoasterRoyalty, and McSalsa) 2nd weekend Sunday (Nice weather) 5-6-12 - a 3.5/5, not to bad in the morning, 15 minute waits for major rides, crowded in Planet Snoopy, got very crowded in afternnon, with Vortex and Adventure Express queues filled. (Info from jdawg1998, Ffej, and medford 3rd weekend Saturday (Nice Weather) 5-12-12 - a 5/5, very crowded, hour and a half waits on major rides, "Like Disney World on a Saturday during spring break" -jdawg1998. (Info from jdawg1998) First week of daily operation, (Nice weather) 5-14-12 and 5-16-12 - a 1/5, walk ons for most all rides but FOF and Firehawk, great day. (Info from Joncars05 and Oldiesmann)

I've read the second one but not the first.

^I believe you are suppose to go to the fun perks booth outside the front gate, and then they should give you a wristband.

I want to save up for a free Fast Lane pass to use on a Saturday in July when the park is open till midnight. Does anyone on here know how many times I'd have to visit the park, and how much stuff if have to buy in the park?

^When I went last Saturday it was. I guess they got whatever that problem was fixed.

I think I'm going to KI today (talked mom into it). So, if I go to rivertown junction, will I get fun perks points? Will the employee know about fun perks? Should I ask them to scan my pass? Sorry for all the questions I just really want fun perks points!

For those who already have rewards offered, what level are you? How many times have you gone to the park? And did you buy anything in the park? Just wondering because I have no offers, except the unlimited drinks that come with. I've gone to the park once this year.

^Sort of, it is valid all through the 2012 season, but no later.

It sounds like fun perks pays for the pass it's self. Another reason I will have to visit KI a lot.

I'm now in! Hope everyone has a great time, and i can't wait to meet all of the KICers! If you would like to donate to my page, it is here. https://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/lucasfields/KingsIsland

^They were doing this thing called flashback Friday on there Facebook a while back.

This is a hard one... All of them.
