This is my first time doing a TR. I tried only posting pictures that no one else had.

I woke up at 4am, left the house about 422 in the morning. I got to the park at exactly 607. There was a bit of a line to get in.

When I went to park my season pass wouldnt work. She said it was not for this year but next.

the lady was nice and let me in anyway. I had to go to the sales window and wait for 20 darn min. for them to fix my pass. So I got in line with Bill and waited..... and waited. Watched all the first riders go in .. and waited. While we waited they started testing rides.

After waiting for a while, 8 came around and the running began. But not far. We all ran for another line. We waited for another hour. It was fun though got to talk to some different people. We were all told to make sure you have your season pass ready!

After waiting in that line for an hour we were all let go for the ERT for Diamond back. Talking about pushy people. How rude!! Then the line for the best coaster ever.

I really do love what they did with the area. It looks great. At this point I am so excited, I think I talked Bills ear off and couldn't stand still.

Diamondback says peek a boo!!

Almost my turn!

That had to be the best ride I have ever been on, I rode it my first time with Bill!

Me right after the ride with my shirt I love!!!

The rest of the day was spent taking pictures. I rode slingshot for my very first time. Scared the crap out of me but once it was over. I was ready to get back on!! Thanks Bill!!!!

Best Picture of the day, thanks rex!!

The web cam we have all been watching.

I love that KI has this! I looovvvee it!!!

One of the very few KICentral members I met.

We left the park to get some lunch at subway, 5 dollar foot long baby!!

This was the end of my day.

I said good bye to bill went and did some shopping and headed on my 2 hour dive home.

My ride tally stands at this. ( lame I know)

Diamondback, beast, slingshot and Invertigo.

Hope you enjoyed my TR. Remember this was my first......

Nice Kittenpooh, I really enjoyed your choice of pictures it really helped me put a visual to all the stories I have been hearing about the lines. I also like the picture of the webcam and the open today closed tomorrow.

Just like you found yourself in my pic of the crowd, I found part of me in yours.

I know it's me because the little dude in the white hat next to me is my friend Scott, and we were talking to the guy with the gray hair behind him throughout the wait.

Good report. Nice to see the webcam. Now we can watch it, instead of it watching us.

Kitten, loved having the opportunity to meet you! Thanks for the great trip report.

Haha, when you saw TOM76257 in line for The Beast, I was right in front of him with my friend in the green shirt. I had the white D-back shirt with #66 on my back. Nice meeting you and ZosoBeast

Very nice trip report, Kitten. I talked to you and ZosoBeast in line, but I didn't even know you took a picture of me. Very nice to meet you, ZosoBeast, and coasterguy15 along with his friend while in line for The Beast.

Great find on the camera. I wouldn't have thought to look for it.

Also that list is not that lame, you have two on there I'll probably never even ride.

I hope I get to meet up with some of you guys at rww!! I will be there and will so want to hang out with people I didnt get to meet! Even though I had a wonderful time on Saturday, the cold made me very ill. I was in the ER on Sunday. I have serious issues with my lungs now. Lots of swelling and fluid. I will be ok but everyone keep me in there thoughts. thanks I hope everyone has a wonderful week!

Oh, my. We will keep you in our prayers. Please know we care.

Park is looking ver nice this year! Thaks fer the picture hope to get there soon.

Hope you get better soon, Kitten.

Thanks for all the kind words. I am just now really starting to feel like myself. Thanks to all of you for the emails and kind words!

Talk about Deja vu. I'm struggling with the same thing you are kittenpooh. I started feeling icky around 5pm that day and went home. I went to the ER on Sun, and I have missed a whole week of work, But what's really killin me is that I can't go to Kings Island at all. Hope you feel better.
