Ki Man Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 Hey I'm going to be at KI for opening day. Going to be there around 10 or eleven and stay until about 4 or 5. Anyone else want to meet up? Post below. Quote
tycoonrebel7188 Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 I would meet up, but i'll be working over on The Beast all weekend long. Come over and visit me. Quote
Ki Man Posted April 7, 2008 Author Posted April 7, 2008 I should be over there if the crowds aren't that bad. They really haven't been the last times I've gone. Especially since it's a sunday. Quote
DiSab Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 I may or may not be going. It all depends on if some of my friends are or not. Quote
Ki Man Posted April 10, 2008 Author Posted April 10, 2008 Come on, I know a LOT more people are going than just two. Quote
Beast1979 Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Are the lines useually as long as on, say, a Saturday in May? Cause I might be able to go. . . Quote
RWildman424 Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 I will be there on opening day. My sister asked for a ride for the after prom Kings Island trip. Naturally, I said yes. Quote
Ki Man Posted April 10, 2008 Author Posted April 10, 2008 Does anyone acutally want to meet up? Like Eiffel Tower at 11? I think there should be an event made up; as this IS a Kings Island website....it's the reason why we're all signed up here. Quote
Jasper Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 I will be going. Even on a pretty crowded day The Beast does not get long lines until like 1 or 2 in the afternoon. Best time to hit it though is at night or right when they drop the ropes as the park opens. Ahhh the opening day sprinters. Quote

Best time to hit it though is at night or right when they drop the ropes as the park opens. Ahhh the opening day sprinters. I've already decided that when I go to Kings Island I will sprint to Firehawk as soon Is I'm allowed in (9:30) Quote
Ki Man Posted April 10, 2008 Author Posted April 10, 2008 I'm going to be at Drop Zone at 10AM. Who ever wants to meet me there, can. Quote
DropZone99 Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Most likely i won't be going to KI opening day, but if i were to than i would meet up... ive allways wanted to meet some members of this site. I will be there on April 26th. if anyone wants to meet up then, let me know! Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 I'll be there but I am not sure for how long. I have a paintball match up on Sunday some time. Quote
TOPGUN1993 Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 I will be going. Even on a pretty crowded day The Beast does not get long lines until like 1 or 2 in the afternoon.

I've already decided that when I go to Kings Island I will sprint to Firehawk as soon Is I'm allowed in (9:30) And how might I ask, are you able to gain entry at 9:30? Quote
Beast1979 Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 And how might I ask, are you able to gain entry at 9:30? With the Gold/Platinum Pass you can get 30 Minutes of ERT! Quote
DropZone99 Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 And how might I ask, are you able to gain entry at 9:30? With the Gold/Platinum Pass you can get 30 Minutes of ERT! Awesome, i just got my gold pass. I don't remember it being like that last year. Quote
Beast1979 Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Anyone know if lines are shorter on opening day? Quote
Outdoor Man Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 what "private event" is happening on Saturday? Quote
FOFirehawkFAN Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 So wait if you have a platinum pass you can get into the park 30 min early? Quote
Beast1979 Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 what "private event" is happening on Saturday? Some Company bought out the park on Saturday so they have the park to themselves (lucky) So wait if you have a platinum pass you can get into the park 30 min early? Exactly. (Or A Gold Pass, Platinum Just gives you that perk at any CF park) Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Oh, really? And you know this how? On SELECT days...and I doubt sincerely that opening day will be a SELECT day: And only in a PART of the park, not all of it. "...Opportunity to ride major attractions in different themed areas of the park on select days before the park opens to the general public..." http://www.visitkingsisland.com/events/events.cfm?ec_id=27 Quote
cholderfield Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 yeah i think it would be safe to assume opening day is NOT a "select" day, since no dates have been announced yet....i thought maybe i missed something but theInterpreter brought me back to reality Quote
Browntggrr Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 Anyone know if lines are shorter on opening day? Yes, lines will be shorter on opening day. They always are. Most of the rides are all walk-ons. I also predict that the weather will be sunny and 75. Don't worry about parking either, since the attendence is down, there will not be any hold-ups at the parking booths. Same goes for season pass processing. The first day is never busy, so don't expect a wait for processing. Quote

XGatorHead 8904 Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 As long as the weather's good I'll be there, spending most of the day in Nick U, with a stop by Festhaus to see a show and a walk around the park to see the changes. Also, I feel a strange urge to take a trip up the tower and look down from the east side of it... Quote
Ki Man Posted April 11, 2008 Author Posted April 11, 2008 Short lines for season pass processing, Tggrr? I thought it always had a large line for that; people were usually there just to get the pass processed, maybe the park for a short time, then go. http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=34963 Check out the link for the 2007 season of Kings Island!

XGatorHead 8904 Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 I'm pretty sure Tggrr's whole post was loaded with sarcasm, as anybody who's been on opening day can attest. Unless that opening day is cloudy and windy with a high of 37° and a chance of snow... Quote
