Hoeter Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Headed out to Kings Island on Friday, August 28 for my 11th visit of the season. I stopped on the way out and got something to eat then arrived at the park at about 5:45pm. After getting my pass scanned at the parking tolls, I headed to the GP lot and parked in GP 52. The parking lot was pretty empty, barely going past the huge Kings Island marquee. I headed up towards the front gate and there were only two turnstiles open, got my pass scanned and it looked empty when I entered. I headed over towards The Beast- it's been awhile since I've ridden it first. On recent trips to the park, that honor has gone to Diamondback. The station was mostly empty- and I hopped into the third row without even waiting! Always a good ride to start off your day at Kings Island. After this I headed to Diamondback where I spent most of my visit. Before this visit, I was standing at a measly 36 rides on Kings Island's tallest, meanest, and fastest roller coaster. At the end of the night- I ended up riding a total of 14 times bringing my total to an even 50. Most of my rides were towards the middle of the train- I think the airtime is a whole lot better there, but I got some in towards the front and the back as well. Gotta love the experience Diamondback delivers in Row 16! Little to no wait on all 14 rides, and Darlene was there as well. Her ride total is in the 700's, closer to 800. She was at 652 when me and Avatar saw her last Saturday, August 22. Once I got in my even 50, I decided to head over towards The Beast for a night ride. Haven't done one in quite awhile and it was awesome, just like it always is. The best night ride in the world as far as I'm concerned. After this, I headed over towards Vortex because I missed it on my last visit. Found another empty station here. Jumped into 1-1 without waiting, found it to be more faster and much more enjoyable than 5-1 in my opinion. Got back into the station, and hopped in 7-1 and went for another go. The airtime in 7-1 going down that first drop is absolutely amazing and it took me by surprize! By this time, it was almost 9:30pm, so I headed over towards Flight of Fear to see how the wait was there. You guessed it, another empty station. Got three laps in on this, two in the very front seat and one in the very back seat. I liked the very back seat much better than the front seat though. And that midcourse break was cooking tonight! It brought you to a complete standstill and slowly started moving again. Still a great ride nonetheless. As far as wait times go, this definitely has to be the best visit of them all. More TR's as I get out to the Island of Kings! Tee Hee! _________________ RIDE TOTALS Diamondback-14 Flight of Fear-3 Vortex- 2 The Beast- 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
