Wanted to share a quick TR of my first trip to KI for the season today. The last time I was at KI, I was hoofing it through 6 inches of snow during the Offseason blues event!

Arrived at the park at about 2 pm. Processed my Gold Pass, and I was on my way.

After watching the webcams all winter, and just waiting until I finally made it to KI, I started the season off right with a fantastic ride on...Viking Fury! I think it was running trimless today. The ride ops were hilarious, too.

On my way to AE, Red Racer, Beast, and then decided to go for Diamondback. After a 30 minute wait in the SRL, I was strapped in. DB is so different than anything that I've ridden before, I'm still trying to come up with a description. The best thing I can think of right now is sitting in a very comfortable chair that suddenly accelerates to 80 mph.

Also got on Flight Deck, a second ride on VF, a second ride on DB (where I spotted some KIC kids!), and finally Avatar.

It was a great, but kind of short (5 hours) first visit of the year.

Thanks for reading!

So, where'd you end up on Diamondback?

One ride on 4-1, and the other one was further back, can't remember now...

I was there with my little beasties, we had breakfast with the charactors rode a few rides, watched Endless summer on Ice then left for the day.

Glad to hear you finally made it to the park. I'm also glad you had a good time!
