Squirlz Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Hi guys...my first post was this one : http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?...218759&st=0 This was my first visit since probably 1981. We stayed at the KI Resort and it was great! Got to the park about 10:30 AM and first rode The Racer (Blue) as there was no line. Then we got in line for Firehawk. After about 1/2 hour we were on the steps up to the ride platform when they announced a breakdown. We split. From there we hit every big thrill ride there is. Weather was beautiful and lines were nearly non-existant. Our waits were increased due to our insistence on riding in the front car of everything. We just love having nothing in front of us on a ride we have never experienced. The final tally was: Racer: Once on Blue. twice on Red. Front car each time Beast: Broke down til evening....rode once, front car. Son of Beast: Once, front car Vortex: Twice in the front car; then at about 9:30 pm took a rear car ride and suffered an emergency stop at the top breakdown zone for about 15 minutes. Watched the sunset over the park. Kinda cool! Invertigo: Once; front seat. Laughed like a schoolgirl. Flight of Fear: Twice; front seat. Seems like there must have been more theming inside at one time? Italian Job Stunt Coaster: 3 times. Twice in front, once in rear. Me and my sweetie both drive MINIs so.... Flight Deck aka Flight Of The Cicadas. Walked on....took a car a couple back. Good thing as the girls in the front got a mouth full of winged protein. Crypt: Twice...rear row and front row. No fog...cool ride but nothing happening other than the acrobatics. Very fun and I laughed my @ss off but this ride is painful to men. White Water Canyon. Did this about 8 pm. My girlfriend says I told her we would not get wet. I said no such thing. We got soaked. She said "no more %#s for you!" She got over it. Restaurants, ice cream shops and bars were no wait. It was a perfect day. We spent about 11 1/2 hours there and had the most fun two forty-somethings could have with their clothes on. I was really surprised at the short lines, especially in the evening about sundown when we walked on to anything. Would have enjoyed a couple more night rides but when we got off the stranded Vortex adventure the fireworks were starting. All-in-all...it was 3 times better than I had ever hoped. Thank you all for the advice that made our trip more fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINIMOL Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I'd say it was one of the best days in my life. I mean how many people get to ride over a dozen Roller coasters... in the FRONT seat , mind you, in one day? I really dig that there is a special queue for the front... totally worth the extra wait. Staying at the resort is well worth it. The shuttle bus to and from the park is so fast and convenient. No worries about paying for parking or remembering where you parked. Ask for a second floor room and fridge... then you are set. It was great to hang on the balcony with my sweetie and a cocktail after a full day at the park reminiscing about our day together. Mid week is def when to go. Thanx for a great time Squirlz What park we gonna go to next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
