July 25, 200818 yr So this is kind of late, but I figure late is better than never. I was in town for saturday and sunday last weekend, and against my better judgement I went on Saturday. The traffic getting there was hilarious. I saw a line of cars for the exit JUST north of the I-71/I-275 interchange, and I was immediately scared. That's a LOT of cars. But they were all in the right lane. So I cruised in the 2nd lane, and to my surprise, I got right off the exit with no problems. Then there was another line forming at the exit. So there were two enormous lines of cars for the gate... but of course there are THREE lanes that enter, so I again cruised right past it all and got into the lot in about 5 minutes I'm positive people were waiting 45 minutes just to get into the parking lot haha. Anyway, I got into the park and my friend and I went back to Coney Mall and hit The Racer. I thought it was funny how a lot more people still get in line for the (previously) backwards side. Granted it was still a walk-on. Nonetheless still a fun ride. Then we went to Flight of Fear, and waited about 20 minutes for it. My friend had never been to KI before so he really enjoyed how much stuff was in that little building. Then we went to Vortex and waited about 20 minutes again, and got in my favorite seat (7-1). Gotta love the airtime on the first drop After Vortex we headed over to The Beast and walked right on it. I'm guessing BB was PACKED due to the heat, because the lines really weren't bad on the ride side! After a pretty good ride on The Beast we went on top of the Eiffel Tower, then hit Viking Fury, Adventure Express, and Vortex one more time. We got all of that accomplished by 2:00 and then left the park. On a bad note, I noticed several people smoking cigarettes in the lines. I haven't been to KI in a while, so I'm not sure about the smoking policy now, but I don't think they ever let you smoke in line. That was a big turn-off. All in all, it was a great day for only going for 3 hours. Glad to see the home park again. Hopefully I'll make it back for HH
