What's the longest you've ever waited for an attraction at KI?
APE replied to thegajone's topic in Kings Island
I miss Demon Drop. I'm going to have to go to the park that stole it. -
I'm wondering if crowds are expected to be light this Saturday. It went from $100 to $90, and now to $80 which is the lowest price possible for Fast Lane plus.
-
I'm happy. I haven't bought mine yet. There is also a disclaimer that says prices could change at any time.
-
Cedar Point changed Fast Lane for this year. prices have changed for the good and the bad depending on day. Fast Lane plus now also has Gatekeeper so that's three rides exclusive to plus. The price for this Saturday went from $90 to $80. Other days have gone up some.

Id rather have a bruise than a headache.

I can't stand all of the keep calm stuff. It's just dumb in my opinion.
-
It would be interesting to see Iron Rattler move like that.

Lean forward a bit when hitting the bottom of the batwing next time you ride it.

Wow I have never seen that video
-
That is the most I've seen a ride sway and its clear why it would scare the general public. Id like to ride it but i'll wait until 2016 or so when the others are open. Also to railrider I'm not concered if it were to shut down within that time. I had little interest to go before it shut down and I have slightly more interest than that now. If it were to happen again I wouldn't feel like I missed out.

Im probably going to wait until 2016 before I make my first trip to the park. I'm waiting on all of the rides in the park to be open.

This is a slight part of the reason why I hardly ever ride Invertigo. When Face Off opened up I was young I don't remember what age maybe 12? I waited with my dad. After an hour and realizing the line was going to take forever I asked to get out of line. He got all huffy and puffy and tried to make it into some kind of life lesson about patience. We finally got on the ride and got buckled in. All of the workers did their checks and gave the clear.... we waited about thirty seconds and nothing. Then they come on the speaker and say. "Face off is now down due to a mechanical issue we dont know that it will re open today please step off the ride." Instead of putting us back in the queue they took us out of the exit and most everyone left the line. I have rarely seen my dad that mad. We ended up waiting 4 and a half hours to get strapped in and asked to exit. They didn't do a thing to make it right or care. Most places try and apologize for what happened. Not them, not that day. -
I'll be entering this though Cedar Point when we do our trip this weekend.

Yes. And it's a very incomplete show. -
Holiday World 2014 Park Map
APE replied to darkmarkman's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
It's six episodes but they are each about different subjects. The roller coasters one was the first of the series and was the only episode about the rides. I enjoyed what I saw but they did a terrible job with ending it. You don't see anything about any of the rides after they name Kentucky Rambler. No finished product shots or anything. -

Holiday World 2014 Park Map
APE replied to darkmarkman's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I wasn't sure where to ask this but hopefully who ever may know the answer sees this post. I watched a YouTube video of a documentary Discovery did about when El Toro, The Voyage, and Kentucky Rambler were built. It was 45 minutes long without any commercials like it would have had when aired. It ended right after they named Kentucky Rambler. In the top right under the Discovery logo it said new series. So my question is, was this in fact a series they did? And how many episodes were there? -
The water wasn't too bad however a baby will not enjoy it.
-
Id wait a bit and see if I found the owner if no one seemed to be looking for it id probably just pocket it if its just cash and nothing else. If its a large amount of money though I'm turning it in somewhere.

It is apparently a cut throat sport trying to secure a chair in the shade when they drop the rope. I've never been at the water park that early so it was interesting. We left already. It was crowded but I didn't mind that. The water was still a bit too cold for the baby. Based on cars in the parking lot I would not want to be on the dry side of the park. Also small side note id imagine someone got fired from Taco Bell this morning. We were there at 10am and it was not open. A lady which seemed to be a regional manager told us it was closed and would take whoever they were waiting on at least thirty minutes to get things.she was not pleased. She mentioned that it was supposed to be open.

Hey if you leave it out it's fair game.
-
Surely they wouldn't take iPads either.
-
I think the type of people that go to Kings Island are honest enough that if I left piles of cash sitting out it would still be there when I returned.
-
So you're telling me if I leave cash sitting out on my chair it will get stolen?
