Phantom Theater Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 What do you mean limited "they will open at 9:30am for limited entry" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jondrewfoo Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 im pretty sure he means that they let you in the turnstiles, but you can only stay in that area right front until 10 am. they do this so at ten oclock you can run right to the rides, instead of having to go through the gate wasting time.

BoddaH1994 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Some of International Street will be open at 9:30, but you will not have access to the rest of the park until security drops the ropes at 10am sharp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Theater Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Do you think there will be a big crowd?Theirs no new ride but maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jondrewfoo Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 sweet so you can shop now before 10! before you could just stand there or rent a wheelchair or get a picture, that was all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jondrewfoo Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 and no doubt unless there is a tornado warning or some other natural disaster it will be pretty crowded opening day. i tend to avoid them, ill go one friday in may! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Do you think there will be a big crowd?Theirs no new ride but maybe Any time the park opens later April like this, it typically draws a large crowd. Fortunately it's usually not so large that it hinders your experience. sweet so you can shop now before 10! before you could just stand there or rent a wheelchair or get a picture, that was all. Cinnabon will be open before they drop the ropes, but that's the only shop or eatery that's typically scheduled to open before 10am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Picard Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 It's usually the lack of open rides that hinders your experience on opening day. I would guess that will not be the case this year with a sellout the day before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They open the park about two weeks later than Paramount did (sometimes) and many times it was too cold to run a lot of the rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I was there with you last year and about every ride in the park was closed. If you remember I asked you where China City was and left. The rides may have opened later in the day but they wasn't at opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I don't think Sunday the crowds will be too bad. Alot of people might not go to the park when its open just on the Sunday. But I don't know much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beastrider97 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 But if you've seen this, Firehawk-45 FoF-35 Racer-10 (at most) Vortex-15 (at most) BLST-10 Beast-15-25 Crypt-15-25 Adventure Express- 5 Viking Fury- 2 Delirium-10-15 Drop Tower- 5-10 Invertigo- 25-30 Flight Deck- 5 SOB- 15-20 Predictions. I'm hoping angrymobeaver is right because I don't want to spend 1 hour and 30 minutes for one ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vortex Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Don't forget you can get your tickets at Kroger. The tickets look like the ones from last year just has the new Kings Island logo on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
