Kman6 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Just curious...if anybody attended Sunday or Monday night...how were the crowds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ki Man Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 What crowds? I don't think Drop Zone ran a full cycle when I was there. It was funny seeing no lines for everything, and some scareactors just standing around outside the ride. I might go back tomorrow night to get some rides on Drop Zone.

ZosoBeast Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 EVERYTHING except for Firehawk was a pure walk on. In fact, CoastersRZ and I took a couple laps on IJ and we were the only ones on the train! Firehawk was running on about a 10-15min wait. No biggie!

CoastersRZ Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Yep. Beast was walk on, with only two trains running. It was odd leaving the park at ten till midnight, because I was the only person in sight in Nickelodeon Universe on my way out. Very odd feeling. The other odd thing, was the amount of maintenance people that were working the rides. Some of them were not even in full uniform, but wearing jeans!

ZosoBeast Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I also noticed someone who usually works food service buffet in IR working at Red Beards Revenge. She played the part perfectly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoddaH1994 Posted October 30, 2007 Author Share Posted October 30, 2007 Sunday had a respectable crowd. Certainly wasn't busy at all, but not bad for a cold Sunday night that's a school night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Sigh. Why do I remember a Charlotte newspaper headline of almost two years back: "Walking In An Empty Wonderland?" I hope Bare Bones Nights don't join the history of Kings Island with Winterfest. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Bare Bones Nights don't join the history of Kings Island with Winterfest. . . It was impressive tonight. Walk ons for almost everything, yet there were clearly people in the park. I think it'll continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
