jmp1212 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I'm planning to visit KI for the first time in the next couple of weeks. I grew up closer to Cedar Point and recently relocated to KY, and since I married a non-coaster person, I actually haven't been to a park at all in 7 years! I 'll be going on a weekday for shorter wait times (since I'll be by myself) and was thinking of Thursday 5/28 or Thursday 6/4. I'm a little worried about school groups or kids flooding the park on weekdays right when school ends--anyone have any advice on which weeks tend to be bad? I would hate to take off work and drive up by myself and end up not getting on enough rides. Any other tips for a first visit are appreciated too. I love love love coasters, but I've never tried going to a park alone before. I've enjoyed reading all your posts on here. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom76257 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Check visitkingsisland.com's calendar and see if there are any events going on those days. If you love coasters then you're gonna HAVE to check out both The Beast and Diamondback! The Beast is continually ranked one of the best wooden coasters in the world every year. Diamondback is simply AMAZING! YOU HAVE TO RIDE IT! Also, don't be fooled if it seems like it has a long line. That line moves so fast that a full queue is only 30 - 45 minutes long. Since you said you were by yourself check out the single rider line on Diamondback too. You might also want to check out rides such as Firehawk, Vortex, The Racer (Red is definitely the smoother side.), Invertigo, and flat rides like Delirium and Drop Tower. Trust me, you're gonna love Kings Island! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
