The Interpreter Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 When? What's the weather like? What day of the week? What groups are in the park? I'm sorry, but a general answer to your question would be completely worthless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachman Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 say it was on a tuesday and the weather is overcast kind of muggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnrealNightmare Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I wouldn't know about the times for your specific day. But I will tell you what I waited for each one on opening day. Diamondback 45min - 1 hour Beast 1 hour Son of Beast 15 min Firehawk 1 hour 45 min Flight of Fear didn't ride (Guessing) 45 minutes to an hour Invertigo didn't ride (guessing) 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes Drop Tower didn't ride (guessing) 30 to 45 minutes The Crypt didn't ride Vortex 35 minutes Delirium didn't ride Racer 5 maybe 10 minutes at the most Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondback FOF Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I would agree with Unrealsk8er about Opening Day. But, I considered Opening Day this year to not be too bad as far as crowds. I was very surprised. I went many times last year on Saturdays during the summer and fall and the crowds, and waits, were much longer. Even if it is a little overcast and/or muggy, that won't keep people away. I went on a few days the last couple of years when the temperature was near or above 90* and the heat index was mid-90s, and the lines were HUGE. Since you mentioned a Tuesday, the waits shouldn't be too bad. The middle of the week is fairly uncrowded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigacoaster2k Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 This is why I love going to parks when it's supposed to be crappy out. I drove to CP one day last summer, and arrived to see huge cloud to ground lightning bolts, and I was one of maybe 3 cars in the GP lot. It cleared up, then a few hours later, black clouds appeared and sheets of rain were coming down for over an hour. My friend Ben and I got something to eat while everyone ran for the exit. Then when the sun came out, you could hear a pin drop on the Dragster midway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then when the sun came out, you could hear a pin drop on the Dragster midway. This is EXACTLY what happened last friday at ki. It started to rain and everyone left. I literally walked on every ride after the rain stopped except for Diamondback, that had about a 5 minute wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarketingExpress Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Rainy days seem to be the best days to go to KI. Especially when it rains most of the morning, people make other plans due to the rain and the park ends up being empty. I would suggest people take advantage of these opportunities whenever they can.
