lopan Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 I just had an idea hope you guys and gals like it :-). I was thinking it would be cool to have a thread where each day if someone from this forum is at the park they can report how busy it is that day, just a general idea like letting us know how long DB's line is for example. Anyone game for this idea? Just keep posting in this thread each day i dont mean make a new thread each day :-) Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 I like the idea even though you can check the webcams. Quote
74Gibson Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Ride Hopper would give an even better idea. I like the thread idea but, If you have the techbnology, apps would just work better. I was pretty pleased with CP's last weekend...even though the programmer had the times wrong. It said the park was closed during ERT, maybe someone was guessing based on how many rides were operating Quote
lopan Posted May 19, 2011 Author Posted May 19, 2011 yea but its kinda hard to tell with webcams unlike last year where u could clearly see db's que line Quote
rcs Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Going by what I've seen on the webcams today, KI has been dead as a door nail. Just a few folks milling around by the looks of it. Quote
pcc Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Oops! I was carried away riding and updating facebook...lol. it wasn't bad today. I enjoyed meeting fellow kic'ers today! Quote
lopan Posted May 20, 2011 Author Posted May 20, 2011 i ended up going too though my stupid phone kept getting errors on the web, but yea everything was walk on heck even front seat walkon Quote
Hendrick Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Today was great. Rode Diamondback 4 times during the ERT, same train the whole time. Ride ops didn't even ask you to get off between cycles, which was nice. Flight Deck was the same way during normal operation hours, guest were allowed to re-ride. Waited two trains for Beast front row mid day. Firehawk probably had the longest line, which was 15 or so minutes, but it was only at one station operation (but two trains). Diamondback was a walk on as well for the majority of the day. Quote

pcc Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 It wasn't official...just random meetings ...park has a lot of students today Quote
74Gibson Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 ^ which is becoming one of my favorite things about going to parks now. Everywhere I go, I see at least one person that I know from forums, events or something enthusiast related. Very cool indeed! Quote
pcc Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 It was pretty cool...walking through the park and random people yelling my name, hehe. The park is busier today than the past few days. Longest wait was 15 min for a front seat on DB. Quote
corn4ahead Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Does anyone know how crowded the park is today? Quote
pcc Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 We are leaving. 90-120min wait for coasters...just waited 20 for viking fury. It is busy. *edit* 9 more buses and 5 tour buses pulled in as we were exiting. Today is a good day to walk around and people watch. Quote
windshawne Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Today is packed-cars as far as you can see. The bus lot is full, and cars past the north tolls. Gonna sit out today. Quote
Creed Bratton Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Today is a music in the parks day. I applaud anyone who goes/went today and is staying....last year working these days I pretty much hated my life! Hoping tomorrow will be polar opposite! Quote
KIanatic1975 Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 It shouldn't be too crowded today. But I'm still wondering if I want to go. Quote
goofywdw Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 I'm going to go today and I'm bringing my camera. I havn't used it in the park yet so I can't wait! Quote
thebeastforever Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 How is the Tuesday after Memorial Weekend? Would that be mobbed? I haven't been yet this year because it keeps raining when I can go (like tomorrow and Thursday). :-( Quote
XGatorHead 8904 Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 ^It shouldn't be too bad. Most people will have returned to work that day. Quote
IndyGuy4KI Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 I haven't been yet this year because it keeps raining when I can go (like tomorrow and Thursday). :-( Don't put to much stock in the weather people with this crazy weather. I almost canceled going Monday myself cause all the local Cincy stations I looked at online said rain most of the day, but for maybe a few hrs. I decided to go and about 11:00 the sun was out till I left about 5:30. I ended up with a sun burn because I was prepared for a overcast day and possible rain not sun shine. Quote

I ended up making the drive and going. Turned out to be a GREAT day! Every ride was a walk on. In fact, I got to ride The Beast three times in a row without leaving my seat. Incidentally, because of the lack of crowds, Beast only had a two train operation. And maybe it was just me, but I felt like the station staff performed better with two trains rather than three.

RaptorGuy Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 I wish I could've come out in these last 2 weeks during these dead times. The weather has just not permitted it. With gas being high, I didn't want to take a chance and not have rides open due to storms and such. I plan to go next week and the following week, though. Quote
markhudson17 Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 How does everyone think the crowds will be tomorrow? I'm hoping to get to the park by 11, and I really don't want to spend most of the day waiting, like I have my other 2 visits. Quote
Oldschool75 Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 I'm hoping that it won't get busy until after 3 or 4 since most kids are in school still. I'll be up there for ERT. Quote
