dare-to-fly Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Terpy, you make me SO envious getting to ride The Racer on its opening day. I can come nowhere close! But...at least I broke in properly at Kings Island on The Beast back in the early 2000s, and I SO regret not going sooner for reasons that I'll just let lie in the open sun forevermore dreaming of what could have been. First ride of the day: Always The Beast and usually stay there for a while. Then ride Backlot before the line gets too long and work my way to The Racer. Usually from there to Son of Beast, but it depends on who is along and what mood they're in. Last ride of the night: Just like the first ride, the last ride is The Beast as well. Even if we have to run back there to catch it. Preferably, the last train of the night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 1.Top Cats Taxi Jam in 1996. I still have one of those buttons they gave our group for the opening of FOF. 2.Firehawk just because of the lines but if i had to pick one. The Beast when there is still dew n the restraints.

The Interpreter Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 They also make it hopefully impossible for you to fall out or try to fly out. That's important, you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, but it's a cool feeling to shut your eyes and pretend that you're actually flying.

Ashers Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 My first ride ever at Kings Island was the Smurf ride when I was about 5. My first roller coaster ever at Kings Island was Vortex when I was about 10.

Justin_M17 Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 I've changed my first ride of the day preference. When I first made this thread, Drop Tower scared the crap out of me, but now I ALWAYS begin my day with it There is no better way to wake up in the morning than taking a 200+ foot plunge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gigacoaster2k Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 My very first ride at Kings Island was The Vortex when I was 14 (which was about 12 years ago). I went with my dad and had been on some pretty crazy carnival rides, so being the brave one that I am, I went straight for the big one The first ride I hit at Kings Island is either Delirium or Invertigo. I love Drop Tower, but if I ride that first, everything else at the park seems to pale in comparison. Nothing beats the adrenaline rush I get from DT.

KIfan73 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Someday, I'd like to have a group of people, when the rope is dropped, take off running to...Viking Fury. Get there all out of breath and give each other a high five, saying things like "yes, before the crowds!". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanofki Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 the first ride i ever rode at Kings Island was tomb raider. i, along with the rest of my group, had no idea what it did but it sounded cool. we quickly learned that it might not have been the best ride to start out with but i liked it anyway (even after standing in line for over an hour.

KIlover123 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 my first coaster was recaR when i was 6 and i was just barely tall enough. My first coaster of the day is either FH or Invertigo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firehawkboy Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 My first ever ride at KI was in 1998, when I rode The Beast. And I was like 8 or 9 and I didn't know you had to keep your head still as you went through the helix, so of course, we went into the helix and my head to the right and hit the seat and busted my ear open. So from then on out, I learned to keep my head still. Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoundDog Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I believe mine was Der Spinning Keggers in 1973....Now that my son is tall enough the first ride we hit in the morning,...and the last ride before we leave is of course...The Beast!

Coney Islander Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I can't remember, my very first ride, but normally I first go on Adventure Express, then get on Flight of Fear a few times. Until I was 8 years old I was afraid to go on roller coasters that go upside down. I kinda feel like a wimp realizing that my friend's first roller coaster was The Racer and he got on all of the big rides the first time he went.
