Captain Picard Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I can't remember waiting more than 15-20 minutes for anything when I was there. It was always like an average day at KI to me. My trips was always in May and October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragsterfan420 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I won't be able to go, but the lines should be little to none. Kids in Tampa will be starting school soon and I doubt many tourists will be there. You should have a great time. (Ride Rhino Rally) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 And be sure to check the park hours before you go. Think of having a hot dog at Mel's outside the park. Ride Kumba for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustbucket Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 The lines were quite long two years ago in April. When I was there in 2004, I was able to ride Montu 15 times and Kumba 8 times in 3 hours. Sheikra is a must for pure drop coaster experience. Also, ride the skyride and see animals. This was quite a treat. One thing that I was not happy with the park was that they were not doing much about line jumping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI FANATIC 37 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 One of my friends went, I think they said the lines were great! Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailRider Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Please eat in the park at the Crown Colony for me. Get a nice seat by the windows that look out on the plain. Enjoy your trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragsterfan420 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 And be sure to check the park hours before you go. Think of having a hot dog at Mel's outside the park. Ride Kumba for me! Just to help, I checked the park hours for August 17th(if that's the correct month you were talking about) and the park hours are: 9:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. I don't anything about Mel's but if Terpy's recommending it go for it. And do definately ride Kumba. It is tied with Montu as my favorite ride in the park. Please eat in the park at the Crown Colony for me. Get a nice seat by the windows that look out on the plain. Enjoy your trip. Crown Colony is my favorite place, and in my opinion, the best place to eat in the park for families/groups. Thank you guys for the advise I really Apricate it! And Interpreter I will ride Kumba for you and RailRider I will try to eat at Crown Colony what kind of food do they serve there? Here's some info on Crown Colony including what they serve and a picture(all courtesy of BGTGuide): The Crown Colony features the Crown Colony House, which serves lunch and dinner. Snacks can be found at the stall near the Skyride station. The Crown Colony Restaurant >>First Floor (Cafe) The first floor is like many of the other restaurants at the park, serving your basic items. Items include pizza, shrimp salad, and chicken fingers. One advantage over some of the other restaurants is the indoor dining, which is great for those hot days. Items: Pizza (pepperoni, cheese, and supreme), Explorer Club sandwich, roast beef sandwich, shrimp and tuna salad, and various drinks. >>Upper Floor The upper floor is a complete, full-service restaurant that serves more elegant entrees than the cafe. Items include filet mignon, salmon, and fried chicken. The view is also amazing. Items: Chicken fettuccini, filet mignon, salmon, Mahi Mahi, Salads (chicken and albacore), fried fish, fried chicken, desserts, and various drinks. Crown Colony Snacks If you are in need of a quick bite to eat, the area snack stall has drinks, popcorn, cotton candy, and more. Items: Fountain drinks (Pepsi products), bottled drinks (water, fruit drinks), popcorn, and cotton candy. Don't mistake the first floor for the great resturant everyone's talking about iut's the second floor you want to go to. On another note. While the rides/major attractions could be done(with no lines) in half a day, I would recommend getting there at or close to opening time because to really enjoy the park and take in the whole experience it basically takes the whole. Also the park is beautiful and a whole different experience at night. Unfortunately, you won't be able to experience that due to the parks earlier closing time. You MUST ride every coaster their, including Cheetah Chase granted the lines aren't too long. All of BGA coaster's are top notch. Like I said also ride Rhino Rally. If you are a fan of shows BGA has some pretty good ones; Katonga, Critter Castaways, Darren Romeo Magic Show too name a few. Of course go see the animals. Not one of their exhibits have ever disappointed me. Any other information you need I'd be glad to help you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 and for Mel's, which I highly recommend (but not at the expense of Crown Colony, which is a truly wonderful experience): http://www.melshotdogs.com/ Mel's is outside the park, and can be done after the park or on another day...
