hooky's Kings Island PTR

Featured Replies

On Tuesday, I visited KI. For some reason, The Beast seems shorter than it used to be, while The Racer seems like it's the same length... I know nothing has been changed. It must be because I haven't visited KI since 2006.

The day flew by quickly! We arrived at KI around 10:30. By that time, people were starting to ride FH and FoF, and we all know how bad the waits are for those two...

Anyway, on with the trip report!

Checklist:

Glasses + strap... Check!

Wallet... Check! (I ended up not using much of the money I took with me though)

A few minutes later, we left for KI.

At around 8:30, we stopped by the McDonalds nearby the Indiana Live Casino. We were actually supposed to get off the interstate in Shelbyville, but that doesn't really matter.

I had a bacon, egg, and cheese McGriddle meal. I had orange juice as my drink.

Oh, and before I continue with my PTR:

If you can get to Kroger, then go to the soda/pop section, and find a generic soda/pop called Drop Red. It tastes amazing, and also reminds me of Drop Tower. :P I remembered this because I opened

Now, on with the PTR!

Almost 10:00, and still not there...

30 minutes later...

First glimpse of KI! And it happens to be DB!

Everything else.

The Eiffel Tower is getting closer!

Wow, look at these lines! Also, a shot of DB.

My cousin, my mom, and I getting ready for Drop Tower. I'm in seat 7.

I'm like "Are we going up yet? in this picture.

100_0849.jpg

Ready for Drop Tower goodness!

I have videos of DT. They are coming tomorrow.

After DT, we ate at Festhaus.

Our last two rides of the day were BLSC and FoF. I would have gotten to ride Firehawk if it weren't for those meddling kids!

My brother lost his phone on DB. Did anyone see an LG Vu pass by on DB? It's like an iPhone, but it's not.

100_0853.jpg

Move out of the way, people!

100_0854.jpg

Much better.

Good PTR. Not too long, which is always nice. A lot has changed since 2006. So is Diamondback your favorite?

Who takes a picture of a dresser? Just kidding :P

Nice PTR and great photos!

I could tell. But I didn't ride The Crypt, so I couldn't really tell. But I never rode TRTR, either. :lol:

It's a tie between The Beast and Diamondback. Diamondback knocked SOB and FoF out of my top 2 (FoF and SOB were 2a and 2b).

Nice TR. I enjoyed the pictures. On my recent expeditions to KI I found myself eating at FestHaus the most. So you still haven't ridden Firehawk or you just didn't ride it this trip? If not you're not missing much, except a credit.

Wait a second....YOUR A DUDE?!?! Dude, I thought you were a chick. Not like how you talk or anything, idk thats what I thought.
