rcs Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Me and my family will be coming to KI this coming Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th. We will be going to the park Sunday evening after attending the Reds game and plan to stay all day Monday. How do some of you regulars think the crowds will be? I know they are having a Gold Pass special on Sunday, will that cause a much bigger crowd than usual? I have also seen that there is a 60% chance of scattered t-storms for Sunday and a 60% chance of scattered showers on Monday. I really don't want our vacation to be a washout as it is a 6 hour drive for us, but I also know that the threat of rain can keep the crowds down. Last year we made the mistake of coming on a Math & Science Day and the waits for all the rides was terrible. Just wanted to know how you folks feel things will be next week at the park.

EssentiallyCoaster Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Don't listen to Ohio weather a week in advance. With how our weather works, it may snow then! With it being a Sunday crowds will be more busy than the weekdays, but not as bad as Saturday. Monday should be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI FANATIC 37 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Yes, do not listen to the weather! The forecast for us was Strong Thunder Strorms (that's as bad as it gets) last weekend and didn't rain once past 8:30 AM. And, you never know about crowds, burble shouldn't be that bad.

XGatorHead 8904 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 One thing to keep in mind too is that Sunday is Father's Day. The park offers the Bring A Friend deal for gold pass holders on both Mother's Day and Father's Day to try to get more people into the park, because without that the attendance is slightly lower than a typical Sunday. Being the kind of father that I am, one perfect Father's Day scenario would be to spend the day at a park with the family, but not all fathers feel the same way!

rcs Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 Come rain or shine, we will be there either way. Hopefully the weather will be nice most of both days. The trip to Cincy is our summer vacation plus my birthday/father's day presents all rolled into one. I can't think of anywhere I would rather go than a Reds game followed by a good time at Kings Island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcs Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 Well, the Weather Channel has already changed the forcast for next week. Now they are giving just partly cloudy skies for both days with only a 20% chance of rain on Sunday and 0% for Monday. It is supposed to be scorching hot, way up in the 90's, but hopefully this will be how it plays out, no rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
