KI 7/4/12 and CP 7/7/12

I'm going to just make the two reports into one big one, so here goes :)

I went to KI on the 4th with my cousin and our girlfriends, and we used the VIP passes I won from the countdown to 40 contest. It was so nice being able to just jump in front of lines and sit where we wanted, but we got several dirty looks and comments (oh well :) ). We rode everything multiple times, and the free drinks were nice because it was unbearably hot. It was also my first time eating at the Rivertown Buffet, and I enjoyed it. Our passes expired at 7 pm, so at around 6:15 we decided to go to Diamondback and marathon that for a half hour (it surprised me how exhilarating 10 consecutive laps are). We then went over to look at Soak City for a bit, and it was my first time in the new wave pool, which was nice. The fireworks show was phenomenal that night.

I went to CP on the 7th with my cousin again and it was ridiculously hot. We got there at around 11:30 and sat in the waterpark until 4ish. After that we went and rode a few rides, and the waits weren't too bad for a Saturday. At about 6:15 we went over to the Luminosity stage to get our spots for the Carly Rae Jepsen concert. She was supposed to start at 7 but didn't come out until around 8:30, which did not make anybody too happy. By showtime, the crowd stretched from Mantis to the Dodgems. Her show was incredible, and she sounded good live, which surprised me. I am a fan now :) . After the concert we went over to TGI Fridays and ate, then went back to the park around 10. We rode a lot of the major rides without waiting hardly at all because the crowds seemed to thin out once the concert ended. I watched Luminosity at the ended of the night (my first time) and I thought it was impressive.

Overall, it was a great couple of trips to my two favorite places in Ohio :)

Knowing how busy CP can be on a Saturday in July, I would say you got very lucky! It amazes me that the park did not announce that CRJ would not come out for an extra hour and a half, I would be sick of waiting within the first hour! Seeing how successful Luminosity has been makes me wonder if we could see something like it at KI, maybe at Timberwolf?
