This season was my first (and second) visit to Kings Island. I am impressed enough to buy a season pass for next year, especially with the price break through October. I've been reading through the forums to get info, but just want to clarify a few things (there's great info here, but it's a lot to process as a newcomer).

- When is the best time to visit KI before the end of the year for short ride wait times? Sundays?

- Can someone point me in the right direction to a site that explains the Haunt, with no assumed knowledge? I don't think I quite understand what it is.

- I've had a season pass for Coney Island before. Is the process of getting your pass card very similar at KI?

My first trip to KI was a Friday evening and every ride had long wait times. My second trip was a Thursday, with little-to-no wait times and it was a much better trip. I was hoping to luck out like that again next time!

Thanks,

jb

well first off, welcome...as for best time to visit, if you want to go to Halloween Haunt, if i remember right the best time to come is on friday nights. for mor information on Halloween Haunt go to this site http://www.visitkingsisland.com/haunt/ it has all of the details there. as for processing your season pass, if it is the same as coney island im not sure but its pretty easy when they do processing. you fill out a pice of paper with some of your information, you give it to a person who will process your pass, they enter your info from the paper, take your picture and thats about it.

Welcome to KIC!

As for the best times to visit for the rest of the season, if you are going to Haunt, as bandguy said, the best time is typically Friday nights. If you are just going to ride rides and aren't that interested in Haunt (like me!) then Sundays are far and away your best bet.

Thanks for the feedback. Part of me wants to go on a Sunday, but I'm curious enough to check out the Haunt - so, Friday it is. Too bad the season pass doesn't come with two trips!

It does just not for this year...next year go as often as you care too.

I still remember when passes bought in the fall used to include unlimited visits the rest of the remaining season, and all of next season... And, I believe that some parks like Cedar Point do not even grant you one free ticket to use your pass for the fall like KI does...
